GOODBYE

This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 13; the thirteenth edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton.


 
The sun is setting. And the reflections from the past memories are making their way as the fading red glow of sun through the lucid window.
Five years back, her dad had gifted both of them this house as both of them had the birthday on same day. And since that day this big glass window had been her sole companion living through all difficult times.
That same day her dad had died in the bomb blasts and her mother had been in coma since then. Today again it was her birthday. And today she had finally taken a tough decision to file a plea of mercy killing to relieve her mother from the miserable condition she had been in. It was not easy for her. Tears were making the glass more clear and transparent. Yet she could not let herself shatter.
She got  a call. The doctor said, ”She died”. And that moment broke her, shattered her into pieces….
Again it was a silent goodbye with no last words.
The doctor thought to herself, “atleast the god saved her from one of the most difficult decisions of her life. Atleast  now she would not have to blame herself for killing her mother, may this forever goodbye was required now!!”

  10. It is nice ... you could have paid more detail to characterization too. Flesh out the characters a bit more .... it would have made it more impactful

  17. Megha,

    Very touching. Bomb blast reminds me of a post I had written - Darkness At Noon sometime ago. If you can find time, do read it and give your views.
