When Curiosity Takes Over
The first and simplest emotion which we discover in the human mind, is curiosity.

Her beautiful, long fingers slept on the yellow curtains as her blue eyes kept searching for the prince she was waiting for. Her mind continued making plans for the future whereas the sun’s rays ran into her pale face, enlightening her complexion and changing her mood.
The girl loved looking outside; she liked watching the beautiful valley across their lovely farm. She felt like being a part of a wonderful picture where the green color along with the rest of the colors of the spring had started dominating in the whole area. She pulled her blonde hair back while her long, yellow dress made her look like Dimitra, the ancient Greek goddess of agriculture and fertility.
The young girl turned back and smiled at her mother who liked staring at her daughter in silence, trying to guess her thoughts. Although her daughter had never revealed her inner feelings, she could understand and explain the signs of love.
“It’s nice being in love, but we have many things to do,” the mother said vaguely.
The middle-aged woman took off her white coat and left it on the chair while she came closer to her daughter and caressed her sweet face.
“There is not only Patrick in your life, Abby,” she said.
“I know that, Mother,” Abby answered angrily.
“Since dinner is ready, I want you to call your father.” The woman abstained from saying anything else because she hated seeing her daughter defensive, being unwilling to talk about her relationship.
“Yes, Mother,” Abby whispered.
“That’s great, thank you, baby.” The woman knew that she had to wait for her daughter’s acceptance.
“I’m going right now.”
“Okay, honey.”
Her mother gave her daughter her coat and held her right hand, looking into her eyes, trying to make the introduction for those she was planning to say, but found very difficult to mention since the girl always avoided discussing with her mother about boys.
“Abby, you are only sixteen. I know that you like Patrick and I think he is a good kid, but I don’t want you to rush doing something that you might regret or don’t want,” she said seriously.
“Mom, take it easy, I’m still a virgin.” Abby sounded nervous.
“I just want to tell you that it’s your decision. Don’t let anyone decide for you.” Her mother smiled and hugged her daughter, feeling relieved.
“I know what I’m doing, Mom. You will have to trust me.” Abby said.
“I trust you, baby.” She caressed her hair and laughed. She hesitated to ask directly her daughter about her relationship with the teenage boy, but she couldn’t postpone their conversation either.
“I’m going to call Dad,” Abby said.
“That would be great, honey.”
The young girl put on the white coat and closed the white door behind her, walking slowly toward the stairs of the spacious yard. The sun hid behind the white clouds and the cool air reminded Abby of the cold days of the winter. But the beautiful valley had already put on the dress with the intense colors of light, joy and optimism. One sight upon the large trees was enough to come across euphoria. Her blue eyes had turned into a round mirror, reflecting the magic power of the nature.
Abby took a few steps and stared at the small goose while she didn’t miss to wave and smile at her favorite friend. When she heard the sound of the tractor upon the hill, she ran toward her father, feeling free and happy. Her long hair was flying in the air as she loved running among the tall, dry canes. Abby could smell the scent of the rain in the air and hated the thought of walking in the mud again. She loved the heat and looked forward to seeing the hot, sunny days.
Out of the blue, Abby felt weird. She stopped and looked up at the sky, wondering about the large shadow which flew above her and hid the daylight from her sight. She felt there was something going on; she had goose bumps and she couldn’t hear the sound of her father’s tractor anymore. The moment she saw all the black birds in the sky forming a huge, dark cloud, Abby started laughing nervously.
The beautiful girl grabbed a small piece of a dry cane and ripped it up in her cold hands in an effort to expel the fear which tried to invade her peaceful world. Abby started walking again and was soon able to see the black birds resting on the red track. The absence of her father made her worry and she didn’t waste her time. She began calling him by her pet name for him.
“Super Dad!” Abby sounded scared.
The girl ran over the field, making circles around their large farm. The moment she realized she had searched everywhere, she went back at her father’s track where she took a deep breath and sat down on the ground, hoping that soon she would find her father. The birds were eating the seeds of the corn from the jagged ground, but she didn’t have the courage to stand up and make them leave…
