"When you gave the shell to me, I gave my heart to you." - Lovely


When I was born, I could see nothing. The only colour I knew was black. But when you came into my life, you introduced to me the rainbow.


When I was born, for me the world was nothing. My life was not worth living. How would I be able to survive in this world if I could not see anything? Non-sense in short. But when you came into the picture, I realized that the world was everything.


'' Lovely!'' my mother cried with full of concern in her voice.


"Leave me alone!" I shouted as I ran away from our house.


Beads of tears were flowing on my face. I did not know were to go. I did not know where's the right place to be alone. Because I am blind, I'm disabled!


My feet stopped involuntarily as I stumbled on the sand. Maybe I am already tired. I am tired being blind. I could feel the rough texture of the sand when I sat. I could hear the angry waves on the seashore. Every flash of water was like a flood causing my heart to sink.


" Daughter," I felt her soft hands touching my shoulder.


"Mother, please." I heard her as she took a deep breath. She kissed me on my forehead before she left.


A long silence filled my surroundings. The cold breeze of air embraced me. It gave me a fresh sensation and a kind of relief which calmed my heart. "Why me?" I asked in annoyance. When I closed my eyes, a hard thing hit my head. It was painful and gave me no time to react. 


"I'm sorry," a manly voice apologized. "Are you alright?" He asked. 

"I'm fine. Just be careful next time," I said while touching the painful part of my head. 

"By the way, I'm Sebastian. And you are?"

"I'm Lovely." I answered. 

"Can I call you Love?"

"What? Hmmm it's up to you," I replied awkwardly. 


"Well, Love as you can see over there, I'm from that beach house," he said cheerfully. 

"I can't," I uttered.

"What? It's near. That white beach house over there," he added.

"I can't see that, because I am blind!" I shouted. 

"I'm sorry."

"Don't feel sorry. It's not you who blinded me."


"If you don't mind, will you join me for a walk?" Unbelievable! We just met a couple of minutes and then he's asking me for a walk? I'm sure he's planning something I would not like. 


"If you're worried, don't be. Trust me." Because of those last two words, I stood up. "You are lucky because this place is beautiful."


"Well, I don't know. Excuse me, I'm blind." He laughed.

"Love, from now on I'm going to be your eyes. I'll describe all the things around us. You can't see things, but maybe you have imagination. Deal?" 


I felt very excited about that idea. "Deal."


That time, Sebastian told me that we were surrounded by big bodies of water. The sea was blue, it's clear and pure. And then while we were sitting, I felt something hard near my right ear. 


"What is this?" I asked when I heard some air filling my ear. 

"Hold it," he said. It's a hard something with spikes. 

"It's a shell, a beautiful shell."


"Beautiful? It's hard and spiky thing." I said lazily. 

"Love, even though you can't see things I want you to appreciate them. Through appreciation, you will find happiness. Because nothing is joyful than appreciating even the much simplest thing."


Because of what he said, I started to appreciate the things around me. I started to love them. But, the spectacle of the world I loved the most was the sight of this shell from him. 


Sebastian! Love is not blind anymore. I can see it clearly now. The spikes are like thorns of roses. I can see it clearly now. It's brown but as the rays of sun reflect on it, it turns into gold. A precious gold that a woman will treasure the most. It's how I will treasure you forever. 


"When you gave the shell to me, I gave my heart to you."


That day, you showed me the beautiful view of life. Now, I can see it clearly. Just like what you had told me, it's wonderful. I want to see you, and be with you while watching these sceneries but I know it's impossible. It's not possible because you are now in heaven. Sebastian, I just want you to know that I love you, and your eyes are safe...
