The Ugly Duckling

For every each time she takes the bus, she shall bolt to the second last seat beside the window, fearing her seat to be snatched away from her. And that, is her most favourite seat of all. She would sit there, and clouds of thoughts would appear all over her disturbed mind, with her mindless gaze fixed to the window of moving pictures.

Life is very unfair indeed, she thought for herself. There was never a fairytale left for her by the angels, though she's the ugly duckling herself. Since she was young,she had never felt the warm loving touch by the man of the family. Disowned, that is, for she was born a girl. And with the arrival of another ugly duckling, a female, shattered the family portrait.

The sisters were both separated from the brother, as male ducklings are much favoured over the females. And the man, did not even show any remorse, while the she watched her mother shedding pearls of tears, every single night. Grudge and hatred were developed, and she vowed, she shall see no more of him, let him alone, to die on the streets, she shall has no sympathy empathy for this monstrous man.

Among the swarm of ducks, she was to endure the pain of being teased and humiliated, and the laughters were painfully ringing loud in her ears. They sneered at her, the abandoned one... And she tried to run away, but finding herself returning to the reality.

Clock winded forward, and she saw him and the favoured one. The mother welcomed the favoured one back to the nest. Angered and raged was she, as again, she was turned away over him. How she wished to end his eenie meenie tiny puny life and she dreams of it for every night, and waking up every morning with a smirk on her face. But there's no need for her to lay her finger on him, for soon after that, beatings occur, and there he went, being chased out from her castle.

And the man starting giving her calls, and how the hatred over these years had turned her, she slammed the phone, cursing him for his entire life. There is no way she can ever open up her heart for him, for where was him, when she needs a cuddle, and where was him again when she was discouraged, and where was him, to protect her when she felt insecure, and where was him, to fight off the teasings, mockings, bullies when she was laughed for being disowned, abandoned.

She might be the ugliest duckling of the family, with no one to turn to, but deep in her heart, she knows that one day, she shall blossom into the most beautiful swan. There's no need for revenge exaction, for with the pride in her chest, by turning the man who abandoned her away and disowning him would be the sweetest one ever.
