Ruhanika pov :

I was walking in the park looking around at nature which gives me peace and calmness. Nature helps me to understand my situation, overthinking and problems. This habit of mine; spending time in nature was built from my mother.

My mother used to love gardening, plants,trees and nature gave her peace too. She always used to tell me " my daughter, nature, always heals every wound of yours without asking,so respect it and spend as much time as you can". Now I understood, the greenery of grass gently caressed my foot each time I was taking steps towards them. Sun, teaches us to shine and head high in every situation. Moon teaches us that marks can be beautiful if you accept your flaws and stars can give you hope to fulfill your every wish that you want.

I went towards the temple wearing white anarkali and dupatta as veil. I removed my sandals on the door and went inside the temple of shiv ji. I took steps towards the idol and with each step my past was coming in front of me.

My mother doesn't deserve it

Why didn't she do that ?

She didn't care about me ?

My mind started overthinking again on the same topic of my life which makes my life miserable,painful and worthless. I rang the bell of the temple due to which my thoughts vanished from my mind. I took a deep breath to control my tears.

"Beta, ma ka janam din haina ?"

( Child, it's your mother's birthday?)

Pandit ji said, looking at me with a smile. I came here twice a year. One for my mother's birthday and second when she died. I nodded my head in affirmative response.

"Tum kabhi mandir aati he nahi ho shivay apne ma ke janam din ke aisa kyun ?"

( You never visit a temple except for your mother's birthday and death anniversary, why ?)

Pandit ji questioned doing the ritual of the pooja.

"Mere pass koi wajah nahi hai aane ki"

( I don't have any reason to visit it)

I whispered looking blankly at the shiv ji idol. I have thousands of questions running inside my mind. You know, when your mind is filled with thoughts and you wanted to stop them but it was not in your control then your head started getting hurt.

"Main nahi janta tumhare saath kya hua hain magar yeh janta jaise har insaan ka is duniya main apne waqt tak zinda rehta hai waise he pareshaniya bhi ek waqt zindagi main zinda rehti hai"

( I don't know what happened to you, but I know that just like every human being lives for his time in this world, similarly, problems also live for a time in life)

He said, giving me Pooja thali with prasad and a smile.

"Magar meri he saath kyun pandit ji ? Maine kisi ka kya bigada hai ? Main kyun khush nahi reh sakti ?"
