I rushed to the hospital as soon as I got the news of my grandmother's health. She is not doing well from past two three years and now, I think its time.

I reached hospital where she was lying on hospital bed with life support; I slowly made my way near her bed so not to wake her up.

I stared at her life less face which held so much on each line on her face, I always wondered why she never said a word about my mother's doings. I am her daughter but always knew when she was wrong and that was often.

Her sigh stopped my train of thoughts and brought me back to reality, she scrunched her eyes to recognize who i was, then a smile crept on her dried life less face, I pulled my self together & made it to the life support equipment so I can hear her speak.

She was signaling me towards the drawer, I pulled it & found a note book. I was baffled; she understood that & started speaking slowly,

"Moira sweetheart I want you to read this for me, I flipped the pages it seems like a personal diary.

I was about to start when nurse came in and said I need to leave as visiting time is over. My grandmother looked at me reassuringly, and asked "take it with you and read."

I kissed her forehead & said goodbye with a promise that I will visit her tomorrow.

I came to my apartment my grandmon's image kept playing in my head.

I made myself a cup of coffee & sandwich and sat on my bed to start reading the diary which my grandmother gave me.

Today 4th Nov: Started with the ph. Call from my annoying boss and to end the day with a friend who is ignoring me big time. So stalking your friends on FB & calling them in middle of the night is a bad idea. They simply put you off by saying they are out cant take your call. How stupid of me to still remember his no. after so many years, since I first deleted his no. after a fight then instantly regretted it when I was dying to speak with him, that day I sworn I will memories his no. even if I delete it in anger it will be in my mind.

I think first time in life I ever memorized somebody's no. But for him I am not the best friend I am just some girl whom he lingered on while recovering from a break up, I also feel he is ashamed to be seen with me as I am not pretty , fair & tall, I am rather a 5 feet 2 with average looks and whitish complexion. Not good enough to be seen with him.

This morning I sworn to myself not to have any expectation from any male species, yet I expected him to answer my ph, only to crush my hopes.
