Broken Heart

Early in the morning, birds are chirping all around and nature is blossoming with the arrival of spring. Trees are full of flowers and the cuckoo is singing in its sweet voice. April is sleeping in her bed when her aunt Mary arrives.

"April! Wake up dear, you are already late. Don't you have to go to the cafe?" Mary said.

"Good morning!" April wished Aunt Mary while getting up from the bed.

It's Valentine's Day today. Propose Joey if he feels it is difficult. Mary teased April.

Mary blushed but said, "Aunt! You too have started".

"When will you love him like this? You both look so cute together and he cares a lot for you. He is alone and your friend, otherwise who else do you talk to?" Mary tried to tease her.

Okay, Aunt. I'll express my feelings in front of him.

Get ready till then I'll prepare tea for you and Mary walks out of the room.

When April came downstairs, she wore a beautiful Pink gown and tied her hair in a different way.

That's when Mary's eyes fell on April.

"Touch wood! You are looking very cute like an angel." Mary Said.

Thank You, Aunt Mary! I should leave now. Joey must be reaching the Cafe.

"Okay! But take care of yourself." Mary said.

All the way she was thinking of Joey.

Joey and April were childhood friends. Most of the time, they hang together. Joey was the most handsome guy in the college. All girls liked her but he used to talk only to April. They both ran a cafe in the college premises after their college hours.

Girls of the college used to come to the cafe for Joey but he just minded his own business.

Does he really love me? April asked herself.

Soon April reached the cafe with the name "Rose Cafe" painted on the board. College students were waiting outside the cafe to open.

You are late, April. One of the students said.

Sorry!

April immediately opened the cafe and made everyone sit inside and started preparing coffee for everyone.

April was eagerly waiting for Joey so that she could propose to him and then suddenly there was a knock on the door.

April immediately rushes out of the door and she sees Joey with a girl.

"Hello April!" Says Joey and hugs her.

"Hello!" April replies.

"Meet my girlfriend Moon." Joey introduces her with the girl.

"W... Wait... Your girlfriend?" April was stunned and here comes a shattering sound somewhere inside as if it was her heart.

"Yes, girlfriend." Joey says with a smile.

"Can we talk alone?" April nods to Joey walking outside.

"Sure." Joey and April both sit outside on a bench.

Why didn't you tell me that you have a girlfriend? April asks in a rage.

"It happened all of a sudden, so I couldn't get time to tell you." Joey says.

"Oh, Wow! That's great. Now you won't have time for friendship. You have got a girlfriend now." April was getting louder.

"Why are you getting so upset about this?" Joey also raised his voice.

"You can't understand. Happy Valentine's Day Joey! Enjoy with your girlfriend." Says April and leaves for home.

She had her eyes filled with tears. She was sobbing.

It was raining heavily but April walked.

She goes to her father's lab in the outhouse where she used to spend her time whenever she felt alone.

Aunt Mary asks her the reason for her crying but she ignores and closes the door.

She sits in a corner and starts crying.

Joey was the first boy in her life who was so special and she had started loving him deeply.

Probably it is my fault that I expected so much from him.

What is his fault if he doesn't love me? No one likes me.

Papa! You too left me behind. April talks to his father's photograph.

Then suddenly there is a cracking sound as if something had broken, April got terrified because the sound was from a room inside. She enters the room but nothing happens.

Suddenly she falls on a picture that opens as if it was a secret door.

What is this place?

She questions herself as she used to spend her time often in the lab but she never found that door before.

She looks all around. There were large bottles placed everywhere which were placed strange things and there was a table in front of her on which she saw a huge bottle with a green egg which was cracking. The bottle was shattering due to the movement of that huge dragon egg. And all of a sudden the egg falls off with the bottle. April terrifies but slowly she moves towards the egg and took it out and with great difficulty she puts the egg back on the table. Then only the egg starts cracking hardly as if something is coming out of it. April retreats, and then... the egg breaks and a blue little dragon comes out.

"A dragon?" April is absolutely shocked.
