It has been 13 yrs now bt still even today whenever she looks at his photo.....she has tears in her eyes and almost immediatly she is taken down the memory lane to the day when she first met him....in 1976....he was a doctor and she was a student nurse...she used to work in the ward just opposite to his cabin...they soon became friendss and unknowingly she used to wait everyday for his arrival exactly at 9.30am so as to have tea with him...he used to love the tea she made for him every single day without fail....and then it became a habit...his day used to start with her and when he went back..he used to wait eagerly for the next day to begin..just to have those few moments with her....
After a few months...the doctor stopped coming to the clinic...she grew miserable n worried as to wht had happened..until one day she found out tht the doctors mother was ill n admitted in the same hospital...she wud go and visit her every day n even wud make food for her often....and then one day the mother died...the doctor went home for the ceremonies.....there,the doctors dad asked him to marry a grl he had choosen for him....he was actually being forced into the marraige when he told tht he was in love with another grl...the reason...the grl was not a bhrahmin...bt the doctor was adamant and even left his home for the grl.....!! After cuming back...he asked the nurse weather she wud marry him..she readily said yes...she was just 17 and madly in love and unaware of all the problems her future had in store for her....they got married on 17th november 1980...and were accepted by the family in 1989....when a daughter was born to the couple....they were a small and happy family....
And then the doctor was detected with cancer....before anything could have been done....he died a very painful death...the woman still blames herself for not being able to save the person she ever loved....and today even after 5 yrs after his demise...the widow still loves him as much as she wud evr have...infact...the love seems to grow as if he comes n talks to her in the night...sometimes she even awaits her death so tht she could reunite with him....it is painfull but love is the way it is....they fought the whole society and their families for their love and the last thing they wished for was to grow old with each other....but she was left alone to grow old on her own.....that is the only complaint she has for god....
This lady is my mother...and the man she always loved....my beloved father.....!!!!
I long to get someone who would actually fight for me in the way my parents did.....so that when i grow old and have white hair on my head n no teeth in my mouth....i would proudly tell my grandchildren about the person whom i was madly in love with.....!!!!
