The Parrot’s Secret

You are a 20-year-old student at a prestigious university — quiet, ordinary, and practically invisible to most of your classmates. You don’t have many friends, except for two: Dwight Howard and Allan Guzman, who also happen to be your classmates. During breaks or whenever classes are suspended, the three of you often spend time together. It’s usually Dwight’s idea to hang out in the library, while Allan, being a sports enthusiast, prefers to shoot hoops at the basketball court. You, on the other hand, just follow along — never really leading, always somewhere in between their worlds. But there is one place you go to alone. Behind the university stands a great Acacia tree — ancient, towering, and silent. Beneath it is an old stone bench, your secret refuge. Whenever Dwight and Allan aren’t around, you sit there quietly, reading books about mysteries, legends, and forgotten magic. One afternoon, as the sunlight filtered softly through the branches, a parrot suddenly landed near you. Its feathers shimmered in hues of white, blue, and gold — a color combination you had never seen before. Mesmerized, you watched as the bird hopped closer, its jewel-like eyes fixed on you. Then, without hesitation, it fluttered onto your shoulder. Startled, you froze — yet something about its presence calmed you. You didn’t push it away. Instead, you smiled faintly and spoke to it, half-jokingly asking where it came from. To your astonishment, the parrot replied — not with the echoing mimicry parrots are known for, but with a voice filled with thought and emotion. > “Why are you alone?” it asked softly. In that moment, you realized this was no ordinary creature. The parrot didn’t just speak — it understood. Asking with concern. From that question begins a journey beyond the ordinary — where secrets of the unseen world awaken, and a forgotten destiny takes flight. 🕊️ A tale of friendship, mystery, and awakening magic — hidden beneath the whispering leaves of an ancient tree.
