Corona,,, this is what you came for

Zoya's POV

My husband never got a chance ,but I miss him so much I wanted to cerebrate with him especially that I felt it might mean the last time I do it with him,,, we had already celebrated his birthday he turned 46,,,, before the miserable flu attacked him and he was taken from us,,, to a place isolated,, fat tears rolled down my check bones as I thought of all these,,,,,
"mother!!?" my little son Ajay,, broke in the room,"we ready"he nagged,,,
"Mother are you crying!!!??" My daughter Priyanka blurted before I faced them,,
"no," I lied clearing my eyes with my bare hands, then faced my children they looked weird with the special masks on their faces,,, I took few minutes to put on mask and gloves as my kids,,
"Shall we go now, your dad will be happy to see you after many days,," I forced a smile as I spoke,,,
"Sick people are never happy mother!!!"
"especially when they know they can't be healed,,!" My son added after his sister
I hardly fought tears from dropping
"well, they could be when they realize we care for them," I posed,,
"shall we go now!!!" I gestured them towards the door making sure they are never close I felt so bad,,
"sweethearts, take off those masks you vet some fresh air its safe in here!!" I directed as we were in the car,, then started the car to isolated place where corona victims were including my husband,,

The situation at that place was terrible it meant all the people of that place were gonna die. if the cure would not be found soon,,,,I thought of their families and my self,,,,I told my kids to put on the masks and gloves,,, I didn't look back,,, we dropped off the car the doctor led us to where my husband was,,,,
It happened so suddenly,, after I saw him I stacked motionless
Ajay ran from behind me,,,,, to hug his father ,but he sadly avoided him taking big step back I gabbed Ajay's hand and dragged him to my side I wanted to scold him but I couldn't find strength to do it,,, I felt much weak after I glance at my husband who was on his knees sobbing,,,, I would admit he looked weird in that mask,,,,, as I stared Priyanka clutched my jeans crying,,, Ajay too joined his father,,, what a distance between us,,,, this time I couldn't hold the tears though I wanted to stay strong but it was impossible,,, the doctor watched us,, he was there to makes sure we dont get into contact ,,,,,
" am glad that thing has not take you from us""I whimpered
"why did you come to see me,,,, " our eyes met as he said,, he continued "I told you to take it as am dead,,, it hurts me seeing the three of you,,,,, y--
" am trying to show you its hard to carry on in life without you,,, Arjui y----
"its never impossible sweetheart,, am no longer yours you gotta forget me!!!!" he sobbed
"you told me to be hopeful and now you breaking it to pieces,,,, w----
" I was wrong when I said that!!!"he cut me short,, all I see in his eyes is love,,
" I just need you to be happy and strong,,, take care so you don't get this pathetic disease,,,, our children needs that Zoya ,,,," a surge of sadness burned my throat as he said,,, all I wanted was to stare at him,,, I glanced at my kids their eyes were all watery,,,,lookin back at Arjui my eyes were flooded with tears again.
"am gonna miss you, w
" me too in the second life!"he cut me short, "get going Zoya , am Hanna die soon,, never come at this place again!!!!" he hardly muttered between coughing
"bu-----
" your love!!!"he said impatient,, "don't take it back,,, I wanna hold it!!!!he begged
I was loss of words coz there were nothing I could do to heal him I doubted if God existed at that point,,,,
," there is no way am taking it back it was only meant for you!!" I whimpered
"but I need you to fall in love again after am gone ,,, please our kids will need a complete family!!!!" he snooze stepping far away fro us,,,,
I said nothing but no one would take his place in my heart!!!!
"go now,,, please!!" he breathed
I didn't pay any protest I knew being there hurted all of us more
"Ajay ,,Priyanka, say goodbye to dad" I said looking at my children,,
"you haven't told him about your birthday!!!" Ajay snapped
"I know sweetheart,,, just that I can't stand knowing its the last birthday I wish her,,," Arjui said forcing a smile on his face
"We love and will miss you daddy!!!!" Priyanka muttered within sobs
"go now and never come back!!!!," my husband sobbed and left us,,
I wouldn't blame him. How sad I was was unexplainable,,, so we went back home the rest of the day the house was filled with silence, sadness and pain,,,,

The next morning I was woken up by a telephone call,,, I picked it once for all,,, to my surprise I was informed my husband passed away some minutes ago and the government would be responsible for the burial,,,,,,

I sat on my bed motionless ,,stunned of the news only when my children got in the room to greet me I believed it was not a dream but reality,,,,,, I couldn't figure how was I gonna tell my children about it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
