Blank.......

blank is the only word I can use right now to describe what I am feeling.

Looking at my parents' bodies and watching everyone crying. 

But I don't why everyone is crying . Hey stop crying, stop this joke right now. Its not funny anymore. They told me they will come back, I still have to give them surprise. 

Hey stop all this.

Where are you taking them, I still have to give them surprise.

papa... mumma...

Suddenly I feel someone's hand on my shoulder, a warm hand caressing my back, telling me to cry. Saying eshu it's okay.

Not it's not okay. it is definitely not okay. Hoe could they leave their Eshu like this. HOW???

My tears starts pouring like rain. I can hear Swati consoling me. How do I tell her its not okay!!!!

mumma... papa....

I started feeling dizzy, don't know when darkness embraced me and I welcomed it with open hands.


"We will take her with us"

" No you can't" I hear Swati shouting.

"But uska yaha hain kaun abb"

Who is this other person?? I don't know.

When I open my eyes I see a old man talking with swati. But who is this person?? I don't know. No wait maybe I know its Narayan dada ji. Dad's adopted father. But what is he doing here.

Suddenly Swati sees me awake and asks how I am

I replied "main thik hu but yeh bata yaha kya chal raha hai"

Narayan dada ji speaks " Beta we want to take you home with us, Will you come?"

I don't know what to tell him

" can I please tell you my decison after some time, I am tired now"

" Haa beta kyu nhi"

And they all leave me alone in my room.

I don't know what reply should I give him. Should I go with him. But agar main yaha akele rahi toh mera kya hoga. I know ki Swati and her family will take care of me. But I don't want to become burden on anyone. 

In the evening they all come to me and ask about my decision. I told them I agreed.

Swati is passing angry glares from corner of room. Suddenly I found another person in the room. Who is he? When I looked into his cold brown eyes, he also looked at me. There was something flickering in it.I immediately lowered my eyes.

They all left me to rest except Swati.

" Tu kyu jaa rahi hai unke saath jab tu unko janati bhi nahi itni aache se"

"Tu bata varna main kya karu"

"hamare saath rehle"

"I don't want to be a burden on you guys, Swati"

"Ek thapad padega agar phir boli yeh sab toh"

"Sorry bhen kyunki thappad se darr nahi lagata sahab aapke gusse se lagta hai"

" Chal na bakwas karti hai" And comes near me and hugs me.

"i'll miss you" "Me too"

" Ohh madam senty na ho" I said hitting her head.


Kal se I don't know kya hoga.

A tear slipped from my eye, mumma papa I miss you.
