As the semester work came to an end, I wanted to spend some time free. So I went to meet an old friend, a little rose. Poor girl, she was covered with dust and her legs were buried in the cement mixed soil. I quickly cleaned the place and removed the unwanted plants threatening her. Then suddenly she noticed me and sighed 'Hello Sir! how are you ?'.
me: "I am fine. I just finished my semester. I was worried by these recent constructions. So I thought of meeting you. After looking at your state, I am more worried."
rose: "Thanks for coming. I am fine. I don't care about my life and you know that. Let the rubble plunge over me and kill me. It does not matter. All through my life I did what I am meant to do. Please don't worry about me."
me: "I know you will say this. But I can't be quiet about this. I will do whatever I can to save you."
rose: "Thanks for your help. You are my good friend. So how was your semester ? How did you do ?"
me: "It was great. I learned a lot during this semester. I had my favourite subject 'Operating systems'. Other courses were interesting too. One of them was 'Digital system testing'. There were many interesting assignments and I did a good job."
rose: "Nice"
me: "But I could not finish one assignment in time. As the professor was kind, he told me to show it in the next semester."
rose: "Now forget about the old things. It's holiday time. How are your friends ?"
me: "They are fine. I had small problems with some friends."
rose: "Oh ! I told you not to make bad friends. You will end up hurting yourself."
me: "Yes, you told me. But as you know, my heart is still weak."
rose: "From now on be careful. You are my good friend. You cannot make mistakes. See how strong I am. Nothing ever moves me. I work in the hot sun and still don't get recognition. Not even as you get."
me: "I understand. We humans have to learn a lot from you."
rose: "Yes"
me: "No matter how much hard you work, many people cannot recognise you. They are just blind."
rose: "But I am happy that at least you recognise me. You are my good friend."
me: "Yes. That's why I came here. I thought I can stop others from hurting you. But I could not do even such a small thing. But how blind people are that they throw rubble on you?"
rose: "I cannot stop them from hurting me. I am destined to do only my work and I do not care to warn them even."
me: "May be you are too mean on them. But I cannot be. I will do something."
rose: "Oh good friend ! it is very nice that you are becoming strong. But be careful not to make any mistakes. Do right and fear nobody."
me: "Thanks for the suggestion. It's getting late. I have to leave now."
rose: "All right. Thanks for spending time with me. I Love you. Bye !"
me: "Love you too. Bye Bye ! I will surely meet you when I return."

Ah! like always, love begins with friendship!
so finally u started talking to plants also...good improvement..now surely u have to visit the hospital...
Do not misunderstand the "love you" in the end. It is just to emphasize that one can love plants in the same way as any other being.
Interesting post!
Nice conversation :-)
Philosophy by the little rose.
