The Departure

The One Last Look

It was 2am in the night when Usha tiptoed out of the front door. She reached the end of the lane and turned to take the one last look at the house that made her often remember the unsavoury memories. She took the last look to revisit the old life in her memory, the memory of her mother's arms, the care on her father's smiles, and the life in her old rugged room. These thoughts made her glance and joy faded even as painful tears rolled down her tiny and shining eyes as she went her way silently in the silent night.

Usha left without the hope of reaching a pleasant destination as she journeyed through the silent night. She never imagined her dad leaving her soul bared after her mother's death, her father got married to another woman, which made her life miserable beyond death.

She took a one last look to remember the joyful pasts, to remember the glaring memories with the thought of making the present a byway. Under the cloudy sky, Usha was without a thought than heading towards the destination her legs go, with a river of tears on her face, she painted her heart with hope and faith.

The thought of living an unpleasant life was what created the thought of leaving home. She left to say goodbye to the old memories she had always wanted to eliminate from her mind, this successful 2am tiptoeing created a shining desire she had always wanted even as she took her last look to say farewell to an hopeless world with the decision that living a life without border is better than living in luxuries without freedom and joy.
