HER LAST WISHES

2* months 2* wishes

Death is such a true fact that everybody knows they will die one day but to know the deadline of your life is what makes it more hurtful and unbearable with the regrets and it is better to die suddenly then waiting for the grand day.

"I am Sorry.... You have left only 2 months max"

Those words are ringing like ambulance sound in my ears which can't be stopped and won't let me sleep.

Not able to sleep I opened my eyes it hurts my head hurts too much as it will explode any minute and slowly I tried to get up from the hospital bed but I am not able to move my limbs without hurting myself more and as there was no one near by my bed to ask help I stopped my attempts to move and stare at the wall as it will give solutions to my problems.

I started to think about my life and it makes me feel regret that how I have wasted my 24 years of life without putting any effort to any relation with anyone and running from the one who tried to get close. Atleast I should have tried to have one friend, I should have taken my crush, Rehan number when he offered as a friend now I won't be able to do all of these even though I want when I am left with only 2 months. Anyway it is of no use to think about the spilled milk.

As I closed my eyes a few water droplets left from my eyes which are tears because of sadness filled with regret in my heart. I never cried after I get to know what it means to be an orphan at the age of 9 years old and understand that no one will be there to wipe away my tears when the new orphanage aunt shouted that "there is no one for you to wipe away your tears and say sweet words like your old Meera aunt to stop you from crying, so stop your tantrums and get away from my room and cry somewhere else before i throw you out of these orphanage and keep it in that useless brain of yours that I am not as good as your old orphanage Meera aunt who died by the way so don't act as a brat and do as you told" after hearing her harsh words and Meera auntie's death news who said that she will be there for me and looked after me as her own daughter my innocent heart was broken at that moment and those words are the tears sealing words which stopped me from expecting affections from anyone else and make me build up a wall around my heart so that no one can break it. From that day onwards I never make a friend and stopped being friendly to the 3 friends of my age whom I had from my diaper days. I become a shell.

Even though they tried to be friendly I ignored them and started to sit alone and as the days goes they too stopped. I felt happy for twins my 2 ex friends, Anshya and Vanya when they were adopted by a rich family. I haven't left my room or bed when they left from the orphanage. The other girl Ahya died because of a fire accident in the orphanage's kitchen when she was 13 years old. On that day I felt so bad for her but I never dropped a single tear for her and felt angry towards the orphanage aunt and the cook because it was the mistake of cook who asked Ahya to do the cooking on that day and demon aunt who delayed to take her to the hospital with the fear that she may lose her job of their recklessness may come out in the public so they finally framed her death as an suicide because of the Ahya's mental illness. It is not true but money can cover the truth. On that day I confront them but they beat me and locked me for 3 days with only one meal per day and I promised myself that I will bring out the truth but because of their karma they both were dead before the truth comes out. They were both died in a year gap as orphanage aunt was murdered by her son for the money where as cook died because of her same recklessness in the kitchen which was happened in her home.

There is a saying that what ever the life we have today is based on our past life deeds, may be God was there who looks after the humans and give justice by their karma and plan their death accordingly. According to me the persons who died painlessly and having someone to cry for their loss were lucky. Maybe I too may had done very bad deeds in my past life or current life so that I was left with no one to call as my own on my death bed. With these thoughts I slowly drift into my sleep.

"SAHRA DEAR, WAKE UP MY CHILD"

I heard someone calling me I opened my eyes painfully slow and started shivering with cold as the room temperature dropped, as my eyesight adjusted with the bright light I focused on the bright ball in front of me and my eyes got as big as saucers when I see, there are eyes in the bright ball and I tried to rubbed my eyes with my sour limbs and opened my eyes again to see if it is still there and to my horror it is there.

which makes me shout as loud as my vocal cords allow but I started to hear the same soothing and commanding voice which makes me to stop shouting immediately and relaxed unknowingly and I concentrated on the ball's voice.

"SAHRA DEAR I AM GOD OF DEED's AND TODAY I AM HERE TO APOLOGIZE FOR YOUR FATE. WHENEVER I PLAN SOMEONE'S LIFE IT IS BASED ON THEIR DEEDS FROM THE PAST AND CURRENT LIFE WHENEVER THEY FACED A PROBLEM OR TRAGEDY EVERYONE LOOKED UP AS I WAS DOING IT ON MY OWN AND THEY FORGET THAT THEY ARE FACING THEIR OWN KARMA. THEY BLAME ME, THEY QUESTION ME BUT YOU MY DEAR NEVER EVER ASKS ANYTHING FOR YOURSELF OR QUESTIONS ME, SO TODAY I AM HERE TO GRANT 2 WISHES OF YOURS OTHER THAN YOUR LIFESPAN. SO DEAR, PLEASE ASK."

As I heard those words I felt dejavu and stared at the bright ball which might be my imagination because of high dose medicines or I have lost my brain as well with this cancer.

When I am staring at it blankly the voice said DON'T THINK MUCH DEAR ASK AS YOU WISH which startles me out of my blankness and with a quivery voice I said 

It is not a good deed to play prank on someone who is on their death bed

The voice said DEAR, WHY WON'T YOU ASK FOR  WHAT YOU WANT AND CHECK FOR YOURSELF IF IT IS A PRANK OR TRUE?

I felt like asking more but stop myself to confirm it is true or not?

I closed my eyes and think of what I want 

Initially I felt like asking of my bad deed's in my past or present life which makes my life worthless now but ignoring that curiosity as there is no use in crying on spilled milk and it is a past which won't change my future.

Even though it might be a prank or imagination I am not ready to lose this opportunity to ask for what I want so, I ask myself what I want 

money, jewels, food, relation, etc. nothing seems to be important other than time which I don't have an as an option so with a certainty believing that the energy ball in front of me as a god I asked 

I want to be healthy until my last day 

"MY DEAR AS A GOD OF DEEDS I GRANT YOUR WISH NOW PLEASE ASK YOUR SECOND GRANT."

I was thinking hardly for anything else and left with none I stared at the god means bright light and tried to say something but closed my mouth then the voice of god said "YOU MAY ASK IT LATER DEAR IF YOUR ARE NOT SURE."

---------------------------------------------------------

I felt that someone is moving me and I opened my eyes slowly and looked at my surroundings and there is a nurse beside me saying something but I was searching for the bright ball of god but there is nothing 

may be it is not a prank it is my dream, thinking to myself that my imagination have no limits at my last days. I looked at nurse

Are you feeling okay? Are you able to hear me? Nurse asked me again 

and absently I nod my head towards her as an acknowledgement and closed my eyes remembering about my dream of GOD APOLOGIZING TO ME, GRANT ME 2 WISHES.

OHH DEAR GOD IT IS A WEIRD AND NICE DREAM TO VOICE OUT MY LAST WISHES.
