Reel Of feelings ( D- Delightfully Disappointed) - #A to Z challenge
I stood there alone for the whole night . I didn't want to
dream once again of her room , soft cushions , smell of her hands ...nothing at
all. I remember walking away with Hakim Baba for the one last time , holding my
tears and blaming the cold wind for any accidental drop.
He never came into my life again and she never left me .
Rose was all who I had, she broke my silence, forced my laughter , loved my
happiness and embraced my tantrums. Years passed by when one morning there was
that similar knock on our door. Rose and I barely peeped through our bedcover
when Hakim Baba told that someone had come to see us. Guess he read it in my
eyes and he immediately added , not anyone you know already , someone who wants
t know you forever.
Not understanding much of what he said , I turned to Rose and
hugged and reminded her that it's her birthday and she turns 8 today. It was
never easy to skip her eyes but I somehow managed to get her those chrysanthemums
( pink in color) that she always loved. Hakim Baba's reentry was very energetic
,he lifted Rose , swept her high and with tears in his eyes told that she would
be having a Mom and Dad now and will no more be called an orphan. A flash of
thoughts of all those promises of never getting separated from each other ,
staying together vows ran in front of my eyes . All I did was look at her and said
that now I will have a place to go for vacation. I was delightfully
disappointed.....
