Loneliness 1

Embodiments of Love!

Note:

Many of are suffering from Loneliness.

I wanted to write on that from various perspectives.

Please write to me so that I can add flavor.

I am the bridegroom;

Bride is next to me;

Lots of relatives;

Lots of friends;

Breathless crowd;

Jokes…happiness…everywhere

The marriage time ( muharat) approaches;

Bride is made my wife;

Lunch is grand;

Even before I could realize that marriage ceremony is over, many have started leaving the hall;

See you again….Handshakes….Hugs….

Hall is empty…only parents and unmarried sister;

Oh they were my original companions!

Honey moon is over;

Enjoyed the stay with wife;

I am back at home.

One conversation:

Father: Hey Lakshmi (my mother), how do you feel now?

Mother: Fine pa;( this is how mother addresses my father)

F: Is it that Rahul (it’s me), is no more ours?

M: Why do you say so?

F: I asked him to join me, on my trip to Delhi; he replied that he needed to ask Rekha (my wife).

M: what is wrong?

F: Nothing

Next day morning:

Father is not well;

Mother takes him to a doctor;

“Mama, what is doctor’s opinion?”

“Just normal health problem associated with age Rahul”

“Ok then”

This morning father expired;

Again lots of people;

Mother is seen crying silently;

Her sister and a neighbor are consoling;

My wife is with her parents.

Ceremonies are over.

Amma is not well from yesterday.

I and Rekha are getting ready for office;

Sister is on her way to college;

Evening

“Mama, how are you now”, it is me on phone;

Mother: I am fine Rahul, did you have lunch? I could not add pickle in your lunch box; sorry, giddiness made me forget”

I: it is ok mama; take care.

Night:

I cross mother’s room; I overhear mother whispering to somebody; I become curious.

Mother:

“Are you happy over there?”

I know, you miss me;

Oh no I have a few responsibilities left to be done, which you were supposed to complete. Don’t worry I will complete.

I peeped inside…it is mother talking in her sleep;

I touched her head; high temperature;

Is she alone?

Note: I will write more; this is an inspired writing.

धन्यवाद:

See you in the next episode

With lots of love
