The Sound of Music....Distraction

It was a midnight and the stars were shining with majestic hues of moon in the sky. The calmness of night was around, and Remy was preparing for her exam which was scheduled tomorrow. She divided her syllabus in three parts, of which one was done, and the other two parts were still unprepared. She was stressed for the tomorrow exam because she hadn't prepared anything before due to her family problems which were now resolved.

Her focus was on the book, and she was studying diligently to prepare. Suddenly she heard a voice of music, which distracted her attention. It was a beautiful song of movie **"The sound of Music,"** which is based on true story. The film came out after Maria Von wrote a book about her own family. The movie begins with beautiful landscape. Maria, a nun was sent out to take care of seven motherless children, soon they developed affection with Maria due to her loving nature, and she also fell in love with children, so Georg(father of children), and Maria were married happily. The song reminded her the movie "The sound of Music ," and not only that, her heart was melting with its beautiful lyrics, **What will this day be like?** **I wonder** **What will my future be?** **I wonder** **It could be so exciting** **To be out in the world** **To be free** **My heart should be wildly rejoicing** **Oh, what's the matter with me?**

Although it distracted her for a moment, but suddenly she remembered about her exam, so she again started to pondering her book. But the song was still in her mind, so soon it's lyrics again distracted her, **With each step I am more certain** **Everything will turn out fine** **I have confidence** **The world can all be mine** **They'll have to agree** **I have confidence in me** **I have confidence in sunshine** **I have confidence in rain** **Besides, which you see** **I have confidence in me** **Strength doesn't lie in numbers** **Strength doesn't lie in wealth** **Strength lies in nights of peaceful slumbers** **When you wake up** **Wake up!** **It's healthy**

This time her heart was flowing with the music, and lyrics were describing her plight in which she wanted to be ever. Throughout her whole life she had been passed through so many hardships, and obstacles. At this moment she was almost going to loss hope but hearing this song she developed a special kind of courage and confidence in her heart. She decided to stand still, against the barriers which were main obstacles on the way of her dreams, and which were diminishing her inner spirit to be a strong lady.

But now her heart was awoken again, and her mind was filled with new ideas about how to overcome all those happenings around. She unintentionally closed her book, and kept it on the side table, and lay down on the bed. Her mind was thinking about the confidence she developed in her personality today, suddenly she felt asleep with different thoughts in her mind.

While she was sleeping, she had a dream. In which fairies came to take her to fly in the lofty and sublime sky. She felt herself surrounded by love and peace in origin of fairies. Furthermore, she also saw the flowers of different kinds were blooming everywhere, and cool breeze was blowing. It was a peaceful domain, and she also felt the fulfillment of her dreams, which were the watch word of her life. In the morning when she woke up, her stomach was filled with butterflies, and her heart was at peace. But suddenly she remembered about her exam for which she was preparing last night. Her senses were kept going and she was drenched. It was painful for her, so the song distracted her attention, and now she was trauma. Images are from unsuplash.
