"The Boy Who Waited by the Window" (Extended Version)
‎A gentle, sad bedtime story — to make you feel, and then let go.
‎Once, in a small village where the trees whispered secrets and the stars hung low enough to touch, there lived a boy named Eli.
‎Eli was seven years old, with quiet eyes and a heart that carried too much hope. He didn’t speak much, but he listened to everything — the wind, the creaking floorboards, the soft sound of leaves dancing outside his window.
‎But more than anything… Eli listened for footsteps that never came.
‎His father had left when Eli was only four — a tall man with ocean-blue eyes and a voice that rumbled like a storm before rain. He was a sailor, and sailors always leave. “I’ll be home before the moon gets tired,” he had said, placing a warm kiss on Eli’s forehead.
‎And then he was gone.
‎Since that day, Eli developed a small ritual. Every night after dinner, after brushing his teeth and whispering “goodnight” to the photographs on the wall, he would sit at his bedroom window. His legs, too short to reach the floor, would swing softly beneath him.
‎In his lap, he always held his father’s scarf — worn, salt-scented, and faded by time. He called it his ‘anchor.’
‎Eli would press his forehead gently against the cold glass and whisper, “Papa… are you on your way?”
‎He said it so softly, even the wind had to lean in to hear.
‎The seasons changed around him.
‎Leaves turned gold, then vanished. Snow covered the earth like a blanket, and then melted away with the spring.
‎Birds came and went.
‎People came and went.
‎But Eli stayed.
‎His mother, Maria, watched silently from his doorway each night. Her eyes — tired and red — carried the same ache. But she never stopped him. She knew that sometimes, hope is the only thing that keeps a child from breaking.
‎Some nights, she would kneel beside him and tell him stories — stories of the sea, of ships that spoke in creaks and sails that whispered like ghosts.
‎Other nights, Eli spoke first.
‎"Do you think he misses me?"
‎Maria would hold him a little closer.
‎"Every second," she’d whisper. "Even more."
‎One night, during a quiet winter, the sky outside looked different. The stars flickered like candles caught in a breeze. Eli, now a little older, leaned his head against the window as usual, but tonight... he didn’t speak.
‎He just closed his eyes and imagined.
‎He imagined his father walking up the garden path, soaking wet from the rain, laughing like he used to.
‎He imagined his voice, deep and kind: “I told you I’d come back before the moon got tired.”
‎He imagined warm arms wrapping around him, lifting him off the ground, spinning him like a bird in the wind.
‎Eli smiled in his sleep that night.
‎But the door never opened.
‎And the rain kept falling.
‎Years passed.
‎Eli grew tall enough to reach the window without a stool. The scarf, once long and heavy in his lap, now barely reached his chest.
‎He stopped asking out loud.
‎But he still waited.
‎Not every night — just on the nights when the silence felt too loud… or when he missed the sound of waves crashing against the world.
‎
