All Alone
DM was tired, it had been a long day at the office. When he reached home, the house sounded quiet and the lights had been dimmed. 'Baa! Babuji!, Moti Ben!' Is Anyone at home??' Champakali!! But no-one answered he went around the house thinking that the family were playing a prank on him.
Feeling frustrated he walked into the angaan and just then heard the phone ringing..
He answered the phone, it was Kaddu.
'Hello Dad, it me Kaddu.
'Hello dear what is going on, noone is at home? He asked worryingly
'Dad, today it was Santu's birthday, so everyone has come to my house... Even though she isn't near we still love her and this is the least we could do for her, Nanna and Nani have held a pooja at my house. They didnt want to hurt you. Sorry Dad.'
Without saying goodbye, DM put the phone down...
How could he have forgotten? It was this day 3 years ago they had expressed their love to one another. How could have not remembered the date...
He walked over to the table and started to serve the food that had been made for him... but he lost his appetite. He left the plate and ran up into his room and locked the door behind him...
He fell to the ground and cried, he was in pain and agony because she had walked away leaving him and now he had realised that he truly loved her...
Enjoy
