AN ORPHAN PARENT

-
ROUND ROUND ROUND ROUND”

Looking at the ceiling fan while lying on his bed rajbir wonders, we too keep running round and round and round for money and success but our run never end just like this fan…..
“BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP “
The sound of machines which doctors say are supporting his life are his personal opera, no wonder he didn't choose to buy ticket for this….

30 days of nonstop medications,tubes piercing his body day and night..Doctors finally said he is FINE and will be soon discharged.

But don't know why he dont believe them...Today he is continously staring at fan and  won't turn his eyes even if someone calls him….

He can feel his heart pounding,heaviness on his chest crushing him and tears in eyes running along his cheek dripping upon his shirt….shirt his child brought for him….
“HE NEVER LET US CHANGE HIS SHIRT”
How rudely this young nurse complained to the doctor.
She don't know the warmth he can feel in this shirt which his son hand-picked for him..
He suddenly stopped talking to people around...Staff and doctor panicked..But they found nothing..
They don't know when the soul stops talking words doesn't matters…..

Tears are still dripping from his eyes….all he does is staring at ceiling fan….he turns his head and looks at the brown packet send by his son for his treatment...He longs to touch that packet expecting to feel the touch of his son….
Two months have passed but he didn't come to meet him…
How can we make our parents ORPHAN.
Why we forget that after a age we are their parents.

He can't believe doctors that he will be fine…
He know he is going to die today…..He can't let nurses to take away this warmth..All he can remember is his little ajay jumping in his arms willing to run away but he never let him go...He holds him close to his chest and listen to his heartbeat...And just feels his warmth..Every time this memory rushes through his Mind it comes out through his eyes….
He closes his eyes and his little ajay winking at him whenever he breaks the crockery….thats why rajbir  continuously looks at the fan.

Whenever he gets a medication run through his veins he remembers  how his ajay used to squeeze his eyes whenever he got injected…..And nurses thought it's needles that are painful for him…

An orphan parent was lying today on the bed and was counting his breaths….but wait..You know what he remembers now……….ajay trying  to count on his little fingers.

Rajbir is now tired...Even breathing is tiresome for him now….his eyes are getting closed now..He can't keep them open….he turns his head around trying to get a view of his little ajay….he uttered “peek a boo”...He thought he will trick him out and will see his child……..Even eyes are running dry now and so is his flame of life  but that fan keeps running and running.

LAST sound

"Door thumping" Sound of shattering of vase.... SIXTEEN HOURS AGO Late Mr. Rao's house...it looked so quiet from outside...sound of fluttering leaves.in vranda...inside house climate was not so filled with warmth as outside.....hustle of an aspirant twenty four year old guy can be clearly heard in one of the room of rao's house.....clapping of files....closing and opening of drawers....locking of almirah....and hurried steps down the stairs...... And at mean time there was another room..quitness of which was streaked  by  the coughing of fifty year old Mr's Rao.....an old but hardworking woman who raised that young hulk after seventeen years of death of Mr Rao. Unable to move Mr's Rao on hearing the sound of her child steps.(the only sound of her boy she heard in whole day)..moved her lips to make a inaudible sound to call her boy to meet her...... And then she heard the sound of shunting of door. House was drowned in the silence.....which invaded Mr'

" Naaah am good"...  "You should watch carefully and walk".. Said the girl...  Guy.-" Don't you know big mountains do fail... " Little Girl: you mean fall??  Guy- yes  yes.. What else did I say...
