I love You

It has been a week since I put Prateeksha, my wife in flames of fire. But it seems that it has been years since I lost her. If she would be alive she must be celebrated our 30th marriage anniversary next month.

Today after putting lot of efforts I managed to come to the park. But nothing seems to be interesting. Everything is gloomy. Old as well as young people are walking to keep fit. Children are playing, their mothers are chatting, as well as keeping sharp eyes on their kids to protect them from any misfortune. The park is crowded but it felt like I am the only one who is alone in this world. In past 30 years there was not even a single day when I came alone in this park. I want to shout, I want to cry as well but the effort is in vain.

"It has been some time I am sitting here, let me go back to home", I tell to myself. People are also looking for empty benches to sit. A small girl may be of 8-10 years with her father is coming directly towards me. Might be they are coming for the bench as well. As that little girl comes near to me, she reminds me of Prateeksha. She have the same eyes, big and black.

That little girl stop in front of me and said, "Thank You for everything you and aunty did to me. I can also see now". This remind me of Prateeksha's wish of donating eyes to someone after death. Drops of tears were making their way on my wrinkled face but I am smiling. It felt like I am not alone anymore, Prateeksha is somewhere near to me, watching me, smiling as always and saying "I Love You".
