The girl stood high on the mountain peak in loneliness... just to realize a feeling of togetherness... the warmth of the hand of someone she knew was her superhero... and then broke her heart.... admitting it wasn't real...

 OR WAS IT?


Percy, a 9-year-old, obsessed with superheroes, knew who her superhero in reality was... Who could it be?? Without a doubt, her beloved, Daddy! The one who had always pampered, supported and took care of her after the death of her mother when she was 5, the most tragic incident of her life...

Percy always gave her father the position of the superhero of her life. Why wouldn't she? She knew no one except her father... went to school...studied...came back...No friends because she believed friends are fake... Surely, she learnt something very big at such a tender age. Anyways, for Percy, all of her life existed in her father and vice- versa. Percy had no relatives, she actually did, but because of some incidents... everyone scattered...

On a bright sunny day, Percy sighed as she walked home from her school and whispered," Why life's so boring? Nobody understands me...Well, well, I don't need to worry about these relatives, friends, and all... I have my daddy and that's more than enough for me!" Saying this, she smiled and reached home just to know that her daddy had not went to office as she saw his car parked in the basement. She thought probably her daddy's giving her a surprise! Percy was very curious. She climbed the stairs in utter excitement... because it was the first time since last 5-6 months that her daddy had not went to office except Sunday. Percy opened the door, completely amazed...but....

All of her amazement disappeared. She screamed, " NOOO!!!!" as she found her daddy lying on the floor, covered entirely with blood. " Daddy... Wake up... Please... You're my superhero... Please... I can't imagine my life without you... You can't leave me alone... Your princess is waiting for you to respond...Daddy!" shouted Percy with tears continuously rolling from her eyes. Little Percy kept on screaming and shouting... thinking that her daddy will respond... but... he didn't. HE WAS DEAD... Suddenly, someone came from behind, covered Percy's eyes and mouth and took her away...far away... from her daddy...


Years passed on....

A girl climbed with courage on a snowy mountain... completely alone... Kept on climbing... reached very close to the peak. But completely out of stamina... no energy to climb more... but very near to an unreachable record. Then touched the locket in her neck and sighed saying," Give me courage... My superhero..." And tried to climb with all the courage she had..." Just one step more! Ahh"...finally reached the mountain peak. But wasn't happy enough... instead sat there and sobbed. " I miss you daddy."

But she stood on the peak and said," Daddy, I promised one day I will stand at the top of the world...Here I am.. but you aren't a good promise- keeper...you said me that whenever I will need you, you will be with me.. Now I need you the most.. I am tired daddy, of this world!" Within few seconds, a wave of happiness ran in Percy's entire body... Making her feel that her daddy was near... very near...and she felt the same giant, soft but the most comfortable hand on her shoulder. She was sure... Indeed..it is Daddy... and suddenly then.." I am coming... Da--d--d-----y" she said like she was the most happy.. more than all the best times of her life...and lay there...buried inside snow forever... but had her name on the book of records, " THE FIRST PERSON ON THE PEAK OF MOUNT EVEREST".
