For her..!!

Waking to the dawn
A tear drops, a smile escapes
Sight of the mighty mountain
Built a fresh hope

She awaits a door knock
Through every tick of the clock
Counting her yet another day
Waiting for him to return

Dawn to the dusk
And the silent night fell
The mountain hid in the dark
Not her hope to see his spark

Who shall show her?
Her shattered dreams
War of the nation
Has long engulfed him

Who shall tell her?
To shed the tear of love
To show the smile of pride
To live the life in his memory

TOMORROW..!!!

"I was fed up with my life and so I decided to end it...so here I am on the railway track and waiting for death..!!!" she was explaining herself and answering her own questions about what she was going to do.

"I was never loved at home for just the reason that I am a girl. Was it my mistake that I wasnt born as the male child who would take care of the family later. Was it my mistake that the society treats girl children as the "Liability" while the other gender as the "Asset". Was it my mistake that I was born in a country where Goddesses are respected but the girl children are killed??" she thought when she remembered how her father never spoke to her in all these years.

"I studied well. I am employed and earn good salary and respect. I am married...but for what reason? Just to work as a servant to the man whom my parents bought for the marriage? Am I given to him along with the money so that he can torture me physically and emotionally?" she thought when she saw her wedding ring.

"Today when some idiots abuse me and throw me on the road, where was he? It never bothered him coz' he thought I was always my parents daughter. But where were my parents?? It never bothered them too...coz' they just believed that I am his wife...but dear God, where do I belong?? To my parents with whom I took my first breath or To my husband with whom I am supposed to live my last breath?" Now tears were all over...she cried her heart out...she never knew that her death was not near...!!!

"Dear God, If you made the rule that Males children rule the world then why did u not tell us that we were just slaves in this world before we were sent here...if u did...we would never have seen those dreams and never have wished to live freely...Why did u not tell us??" She is shouting now..!!

He questions maynot have woke up God...but they did wake the Lineman of the track who was sleeping nearby...He was startled to see the young girl in the torn rags and scratches all over her body. He understood the situation while tears rolled down.

"I am going to come back to you as I fear TOMORROW and life ahead shows no path to me" she was yelling while she heard a noise. She turned to see who it was and found him sitting beside her with a smiling face and loving eyes looking at her.

"Why are you here??" she asked him.
He smiled.
"I see no life ahead, my tomorrow is meaningless. No one loves me. No one bothers if i am alive or dead" she was screaming now.

He smiled and said " I have seen these tracks all my life...from here it seems that they end at a point but when you go there they are still running ahead...I have not yet found the end...such if life darling...Today it feels that its the last day...but there is always a tomorrow...and before we realize that there is none...we are no more...!!"

He said and left...she thought for a while and got off the tracks...!!

It needs a moment to end a life...it also take a similar moment to start a new one too...!!

CONFUSION..!!!

She was the most beautiful bride ever. She looked amazing in her custom made Wedding gown and the pearl studded crown was holding the light veil gorgeously in place. The room was all decorated with the combination of pink and purple orchids and the air was scented with the best roses. It seemed like a perfect wedding day.

But she was tensed. She was marring her love of life whom she has known for years. But still, today she felt something different. She knew everything shall go well, but something unknown to us was disturbing her. He mom said, every bride has that feeling. Her dad just smiled when she told him.

She was looking out of the window, at the natural beauty but the smile was missing without her notice.

"Darling its time for us to join him" her dad opened the door.

She was not listening. Her dad called twice, but she dint turn back. Suddenly, a little rain drop kissed her cheek and she smiled. Her dad called her again.

She was then confused, whether to dance in the rain or to walk silently along the aisle and marry him. She was confused but decided to join him.

It was a happy wedding.

She did join him but they also danced in the rain as the happy couple.

See You Again..!!!

“See you again” he said kissed her good bye.

“When?” she enquired.

“What?”

“When will you see me again?”

“When the sun rises but forgets to shine, when water falls from heavens but forget to hide your tears with them, when everyone around you are happy celebrating but you are not” he said and left.

“He left me that day, 5 years ago while promising that he shall meet me but am still waiting” she told me while walking back from the Church on the Christmas eve.

I met her 4 years ago, and I know how much she loves him, she has spent her life since then imagining the moment she shall meet him once again in life. He had some ambitions, some goals to work on and she knew his love to them and had taken the toughest decision ever to let him go and today she is suffering loneliness with even friends around.

“Dear he shall be back very soon, just that you should be at your best when he meets you” I say every time she felt sad about being away from him.

Today, at this moment, I am looking at the most beautiful her as I had ever seen. In fact, I feel she is the most beautiful woman in the world after my mother. Also, I find the weather so nice and I feel some happy vibes caressing my senses and my heart feels today is the day.

While we walk, I see him. I see him standing there with the most beautiful roses and just walking towards us.

“Grace, he is there. He has finally come to see you again” I almost yelled at her.

PROMISE..!!!

"Dad…Why did Mamma go to God??" She asked him standing in front of her mother's grave.

He almost broke into tears hearing his five years old little girl ask about her mother.

“Angel, God isn’t good in English no. That’s why mom has gone to teach Him. She is the best teacher in this world to teach Him, so you should be proud of your mother” he was almost dying to stop his tears flowing down.

“Daddy”

“Yes Angel”

“Daddy, God isn’t good with mathematics also. But please promise me that you will not go to teach Him”

He was just looking at her.

“Daddy, I know you are the best Mathematics teacher in the world.”
He found himself crying already.

“Because I can learn English without mom but Daddy, Mathematics is very difficult. The problems are very tough you know.”

“I will not leave my Angel. I promise.”

LIBRARY...!!!

She got the invitation from him for inaugurating the town's first ever library. She was so happy that she went back to her room, opened the photo collection for her always special photograph and finally found it.

She was an English teacher in a school where children of the poor studied. She was a favorite teacher of almost everyone who studied their. She was special not because of her teaching only, but the special person she is. She took the children of every batch in the school to some place in the city, where they may not go otherwise. Her photo collection is huge and now at 72, her only passtime is to check those photographs and bring those memories back.

She was glancing at the photograph, and knew the dream of the little boy 30 years before today has finally come true and she is invited to open the dream to the whole town.

~~~~~~~~~~30 years earlier~~~~~~~~~~

"Wat are you seeing there dear? Why dont you join your friends?" she asked him who was looking at the other side of the town.

"Ma'm how will it be to have a huge library in our town operating for every one?" he asked her.

She is not surprised hearing a question like that from him. He is one of the bright students of the school and she knew that he would go far ahead in life.

""It would be very good sweet heart." She hugged him and said "this town of ours has every thing that we need but lacks a library. Setting up would be changing the lives of the town and the people living here."

"Teacher, one day, you can see my library from here. I promise." He said and they left home after a long tiring day.

~~~~~~~~~Today~~~~~~~~~~~

"He did it. His dream has come true. In 30 years, many things changed in this town, but there was no library and now, it has one and it's my Student's library for his home town" She wiped the tears of happiness and took out the photograph from the album.

She soon went to a nearby photo studio, got a copy of the photograph and also a photo frame thats very beautiful. She arranged the old photograph into the photo frame and got it gift wrapped.

~~~~~~on the day of the ceremony~~~~~~~~~~

She was ready in the most beautiful dress she could ever imagine herself in and was blushing admiring her own beauty. Suddenly there was a know on the door.

She went to see who it was, but cursing that she would get late. She opened the door to see a man in 40's turned to other side of the door.

"Who is it?" She enquired and he turned to her.
"Good teacher, I hope you remember me." He said. He was the student of her who was there to take her to the library.
"Yes, darling I do. Come in."
" Teacher I am here to take you to the Library. He asked me to get you there. Are you ready?"
" Yeah, I am ready. I have a small packet for him. Will take it and leave she said"

They left home in the next 10 minutes and after 20 minutes they were at the library.
He was waiting for her. He was happy to heavens to see her and ran to the car as it stopped.

As soon as she got down, there was a loud applause. They were all waiting for her to come.
She inaugurated the library and every one were busy checking it out, while she was busy with her old students who joined her.

"Dear, this is for you. A small gift from this old teacher" She said while handing over the packet to him.
He opened it with happiness and was in tears to see the old photograph. He hugged her and she was happy to heavens now.

OLD HOME...!!!

She was on a holiday to the place where she was born and brought up, after seven years. She had to leave that place since her had was in debt and had to sell their home. They had no place to stay and hence left the city looking for shelter.

She had enough money today that she wanted to buy her home back which the memories of her father who left her just an year back.

While walking through the street of her old home and the sight of the bicycle parked on the side brought her tears of her lifetime.

She remembered how her dad took her to the meadows on the same bicycle and how they had fun together. Having no one else in the world except her dad, he was her "world". But today, her world left her. She is here to get back those memories forever and ever.

Wiping her tears she entered that beautiful building to find elderly men and women all around. She soon found a young girl sitting at a corner desk busily working with her papers. She approached her to inquire about the owners.


"Excuse me."
"How may I help you ma'm?"
"I wanted to know about the owners of this place. i am interested to buy it."
"I fear you can't do that ma'm. The man who own this expired an year back and wrote the authority of this place to this trust. Also ma'm, he many elderly citizens live here in peace. Please don't disturb them."
"Can I atleast take the bicycle that's parked infront of this building?"
"I fear, you can't too ma'm. The only request that old man made before he was dead was not to take that bicycle from that place at anytime."
"May I know the reason? If you don't mind?"
"Ma'm he says his daughter loves that bicycle to be placed only there."

She suddenly couldn't believe her own ears. Tears rolling down...she asked the young lady if she can see the Old Man's Picture and the she get it for her.

Its her Dad...and the trust is on her name....!!

Instead of buying her old home, she adopted the whole home and continued to stay there along with others. But a question never left her mind.

"Why dint Dad tell this to me?"

BLUE WATERS...!!!

she enjoyed all her life in the green meadows amidst the cool breezes and the soft melodies. To her life was beautiful as a butterfly and colorful as a rainbow. she enjoyed running with her dad and gardening with her mom. Her parents everything she wanted before she actually asked them.

One day they were on a holiday to a village nearby. while across the roads, she saw him lifelessly lying at the end of the street. She asked her dad to come with her to see what happened to him. Her dad refused and so did her mom. They even stopped her going to him. she refused to stop and walked towards him.

she saw a man almost at the end of his life lying there in dirty torn robes and with no energy to atleast open his eyes.

"Dada what happen?' She asked him resting on her knees and placing her hand on his forehead.
"Water....Water" she murmured.

She took the water bottle she had in her bag and helped him drink. She saw the happiness in his eyes while drinking water. He drank some water and looked at her.

"Can I give some water to my friends also? Please" he asked her.
She silently shook her head and watched him get up and go o the next street where she followed him. She saw many others like him lying there helplessly and the little water was shared between all of them.

Not a single drop was left unused nor was dropped. Then she decided, never in her life that she shall waste water and help everyone in need of it.

She later started started an NGO, BLUE WATERS which was a home of many like him and helped many villages with continous water supply.

TRUST...!!!

She waited for him for a long timealong the sea shore where they were supposed to meet that evening but couldnot find any signal of him coming to her.

In the cool breeze, she felt warmth over her cheeks and soon realized that she was crying. She trusted him to the fullest that she even left her parents to live her rest of life him. He was even serious about her, but at the end of the day, she is left alone.

She wanted to go back home but she has no strength to face her father. She took the boaton the shore and left to a place unkown to her andunknown to anyone back home. She tried to forget everything about her past and wished to start a new life. She hated him to hell and never loved anyone again. She remained single for the rest of her life.

But who will tell her that he, on his way to her that evening, had met with an accident and was admitted in the hospital by the villagers. Who will tell her that he has lost his both the legs and has got a paralysed right arm since then. Who will tell her that he loves her even today and is still waiting for her to come back.

To her, its the HATRED towards love thats making her live. To him, its the TRUST in his love thats making him live.

Will they ever meet and love together happily for ever?? Time shall decide..!!!
