So, there I Was in the middle of a lonely road...No people,
No friends. No one but just one person, Myself.
There was cold breeze everywhere.
As I took some steps ahead, All I Could feel was a cold
nostalgia rolling in my senses. I was petrified because I Was all alone. All I
could think
was how do I Get home, to where I Belong. Tears had been
floating in my eyes since a long time, may be even before I got lost in here.
I was abandoned. There was hardly anyone to accept the way I
Was. Just another joker for everyone. With such thoughts gripping my mind, I
kept on
walking and finally I Saw a way. The way passed through a
forest which was to my left. I Could see
that the way ended to other side of the
forest where probably I'd find a way back to my home.
So What do I do ? How Do I Make my fear vanish ? How Do I
gain courage ? How does a teenager like me do it ? Alone ?
I couldn't hold on those tears for long. I felt the need to
get back home.
I looked up to the skies, it was windy all around, I was
about to collapse in front of my fear when..
Someone held the palm of my hand. MOM! How did you get here
mummy ? She didn't answer, instead she looked at the way and smiled at me with
those
eyes holding hope like every single time.
It was a cold and stormy night when I ventured into the
forest.
We began to walk, slowly. I told mom that I wanted to go
home. She Said "I Will"
There was moonlight spread all across the way. The storm was
getting stronger. I'd held mum's hand as if it were stuck. I Could hear the
sound of night insects, our own footsteps,
sound of dry leaves getting crunched under my shoes and
finally a wolf crying. I was shocked, Spooked and even speechless.
Mother embraced me in her arms tightly. Her hands tenderly
moving in my hair. Clearing the tears on my face, she said, "Don't
cry"
I felt alive with her words, I Felt there isn't anything
that can give solace to me other than this woman.
Again, holding her hand, I started walking. The way was
about to end. I Could see one of those lights coming from my native. Finally
fear had took
a step back. Finally,
I felt I'd get home soon.
I held the smallest finger with all my fingers as i'd learned
to walk minutes before.
I looked at her and said, "We're getting home,
Mumma"
She had tears in her eyes, She nodded saying "I'll be
there", and I Could hear thundering.
And there it was, The way ended, I could see a small fence
and beyound that, my home.
I was on cloud 9. I yelled "I'm back home! Yohoooo
!" I left Mum's finger and ran ahead to see how close we were. We were
almost there.
And then I looked back...
She was gone.
She wasn't there. My innocent eyes were searching for her everywhere...everywhere..
I fell to the ground. Hitting my hands to the
road..crying..yelling her to come back. Come back home.
I wanted her back. I never wanted her to leave me alone in
this world. Why Did She..?
Why Did She Die..?
Now, I Wish the way never ended. I Wish I was still on the
other side. I Wish she'd take me back home.
I looked up to the skies, screaming "Why did you go
mumma ? I Can't live here without you ? Please come back Mommy! Your baby begs
you. Please!"
And..
It started raining...
