He stood in front of the Ganesh Ji's idol and stared it blankly. "Jajman prasad" the Pandit's voice hit his eardrums and he moved a bit and smiled at the pandit.

He forwarded his hand and the pandit placed the prasad over his palm and he swallowed it and looked at the Ganesh ji's idol again.

"Jajman. You seem disturbed" the pandit looked at his face analyzing it. "I don't know. My heart feels a pain like someone near to me is not good. But to my bad luck I don't have anyone in my life. I'm all alone" he smiled sadly.

The pandit smiled at him. "We don't decide the people who will affect us and who don't. It all is in God's hand. He is the only person who knows where the bloodlines flow and where our heart strings are connected. You might think you are alone in this world but your heart knows that you are not" he moved forward and Shekar stood there blankly.

"But I know I have lost everyone. Every single person of my life" he smiled through his tears. "Now I have only days to pass not the people to live beside" he looked at the idol. "If you are sending some feelings which are intended for someone else then please keep that person fine. I might not know them but they need you Bappa. And I know you love all your children equally don't you?" the pandit turned hearing him and looked at Shekar.

"You talk so much like Ragu" he spoke to Shekar surprised. That name for an unknown reason created a disturbance in his heartbeat. "Ragu?" he looked with a question on his face.

"There is a sweet child her name is Ragini. She talks like this only with Ganesh Ji's idol" he smiled remembering her. "Um hmm. Interesting. Her name is so beautiful. I remember someone very near to my heart having the same name." his eyebrows scrunched.

"Oh that's a great coincidence. Actually she hasn't come from two days. Otherwise she will be here at this time everyday to talk to her favorite God" he smiled widely. Shekar's smile spread on his face. "She must be really special. My Lado was same" a tear tripped his eye.

"Your kid?" the pandit asked as they walked and settled at the edge of the temple. Shekar nodded his head and wiped the tear which left his eye. "She was my life" he said looking at the horizon. "Was?" asked the pandit.

Shekar closed his eyes painfully. "Yeah she was. She just left me all alone in this world to fight alone" he said with a gloomy smile.

"What happened to her?" asked the pandit curious. "She.... she....." his throat formed a lump and it was difficult for him to speak further.

He remembered all his time with his daughter and at last that smile which she flashed while getting into a train just sent jolts of electricity in his mind.

He held his head and tried understanding the surrounding. "Jajman... jajman what happened to you. Is there anyone with you? I will call them." the pandit spoke worried.

"I... don't have anyone with me" Shekar struggled to speak. "Birju... birju" he looked back inside the Mandir. A teenage boy ran to him who had worn the kurta. "Birju look after the mandir. I will just drop this jajman at the nearby hospital he doesn't seem good" he said helping Shekar to stand.

They both walked to the road which was down the stairs. The pandit stopped the taxi and helped Shekar to settle in then he guided the driver to take to the nearby hospital.

Shekar held his head which just flashed his daughter's face in front of him. Tears continuously brimmed over his face.

His body felt a hand on his shoulder and Sanskar looked up to find a nurse. "Excuse me sir. Are you with the patient?" she asked. He nodded his head.

"Actually I have to change her bed sheets but all the ward boys are busy. So can you please help me to shift her so that I can change her bed sheets?" asked she with a pleading look. Sanskar got up and followed her.
