I MISS YOU
I was slouched on a bench after the tiring day at school, when suddenly almost everything around me started to fade away, and finally, vanished. The same place where I’ve been since more than ten years, started to haunt me. I couldn’t see anything but a single, perpetual red-bricked pathway, and there, I saw a beautiful lady smiling at me. She watched me as I gasped at the bewildering scenario. All I could see was her, coming closer - ready to embrace me in a bear-hug. All of a sudden, I heard the church bells ringing; everything drowned into darkness, and I woke up with a jerk, only to the angered alarm.
It’s already 6:15 a.m. I’ve to leave after fifteen minutes. I get ready and go to school - the day’s gloomy, everything is just so annoying, and irritating, and what not!
After the day at school is over, I wait for my uncle to come and pick me up. Meanwhile, I sit on a bench - a flashback runs through my mind, and I spontaneously get up; and praise the Lord! My uncle’s here. I go home, and shut myself up in my room. It’s just so involuntary not to cry. Tears run in streams down my face, and I can feel nothing but true sorrow and loneliness. A wave of mortal fear passes through my body. It feels as if this is the end.
I miss her, it’s been five years since I last touched her, hugged her, kissed her, talked to her, saw her smiling, felt her love. Can life get even worse than this? I wish she would visit me more often - no matter where, no matter how, no matter when - even while I’m asleep or awake, dead or alive. I love you, mama.
