I miss you!

I sit beside you holding a glass of TANG. Mango flavour. Our favourite. Your sugar has gotten low. You just fell down while talking to me I am shocked. This is the first time. I think its the first and the last time.Its Sha'ban. You were fasting so maybe.

The lights are on. I feel somebody entering the room. Its you. You wake me up. You seem different. I get up. You lie down. I notice you are not the same. You complain.. of PAIN.. I hurry.. towards Doc's room! I wake him up. He and Dad rush you.. to the hospital. You ask me to stay home. Coz you love me. You dont want me to see you going!

I have to go to the hospital. They say come in emergency department! Heck.. I donno! No-one from my family had ever been admitted before my eyes. How am I supposed to know that emergencies are in the beginning!

I see you finally.. Lying in an isolated room! I am scared. I don't understand whats happening. Its weird and depressing! You take my hand in your drip cladden hand! Its still soft. YOu talk. I listen. I wish I knew this is the last time we will talk like this! There are so many things I want to say, I don't know that time was too short. That a fortnight will pass by! And then no talk.. no faces.. no you!

Sometimes I think deeper than I usually do and its then that it dawns upon me I am so friendless, you were my best friend. You still are, just not around me. Tonight I wish I could have a cup of tea with you Mom... with a baked samosa, or a mustard sauce n beef sandwich. Maybe we could go for a chaat, I drive now, we wouldnt have needed to go walking, not even in a rickshaw. Maybe we could sit in the garden once more, just maybe. We could have bought just one more book Mom.. I shunned books when you left, because you were my driving force behind them  After quite a few years, when I touched a book, I realised that you are more around.. I found my love for books again. Because you made me love books. I wish I could tell you about all the new books I have read..they are all thrillers eheheh but I gu...

You cry when your mother suddenly out of the blue wakes up sick.. Gets admitted in the hospital, stays in coma for 14 days, and then moves on to her final resting place, you cry hard because you had never in your wildest dreams imagined her to go away jus like that, in the blink of an eye... You don't agree, you can't accept.. Your dad tells you shes okay... Shes not gone... Lets you deny the fact till you finally accept it... But what happens when you know that your dad has been struck with a terminal illness, last stage, doctors say he can't live long, he suffers for 2 yrs, he heads on to meet His lord... Dont you cry? Doesnt it hit hard.. It hits hardest!!!! HARDEST!!!! The biggest blow!!! I miss you Pappa!!! In just the blink of an eye, in a breath that we tKe, a breath goes missing, and a person is gone!!!
