I saw her in my friend’s college. She was his batch mate and his professor’s daughter. I started visiting that college frequently. Then came a day when I convinced my father for marriage only with that girl.
We got married. Firstly I thought she was shy. But I was wrong. She actually ignored me, or say avoided me.
One day when we were slept. Suddenly she screamed and stood up. She was all wet, and was breathing heavily. I touched her shoulder gently. She turned and put her arms around my neck.
I don’t know what to do. I was also in shock.
I put my hand on her head slowly and calmed her down. I really didn’t want her to get back. Instead of this I fetched a glass of water. She told me about the dreams.
From that day she was changing day by day. Everything was going fine. She started loving me. I still remember. How she had behaved like a girl who was not my wife. It was like first college love. Sometimes I had to thought, were we husband n wife?
How she got flinched, just with my touch. How she had to smile and ran away, when I caught her, seeing me.
After one year my Bauji expired. I was totally broke. She built me up. Her care, her love.
Her words, those she told me that night, when I was shattered.
Sameer… Our dear one comes and leave. Life never waits for anyone. I know you never saw your mom. All you had was your father. But we can’t change anything. If it is possible in anyway, I swear I make him come back. Whatever it cost. Because your smile is everything to me. You are my strength. But life must go on. Don’t make him feel bad. If you cry for him, how could he would be happy there. Does he ever want you to be sad just because of him? He was your father. He tried his best to be your mom n dad both. He loves you most. Don’t make this difficult for him. My dady says, never cry for dead people. They can’t go to heaven. So let him free, let him go with smile on your face. I’m with you and I always will. I will never leave you alone. Not till I’m dead. I never said this, but I love you and love you forever and ever. And she hugged me with wet eyes.
I’m really missing her. The women who was sleeping in next room, wasn’t my wife. She was not my angel’s mother any more. I had to leave her. I had to free her. I had to let her go with smile on my face. Because I loved her, I love her and I will always love her forever and ever………..
