I was not alone

aaaaaaaaaaThis question arose every second when I faced them and I kept reassuring myself though falsely that I was not alone. But after a few moments I had to accept the fact that I was indeed alone. Now I had no other option but to run away as fast as possible and the very next moment I was on my feet. Not knowing any ways and thus conceding defeat to those daemons I struggled hard. Every step and turn I took I could see three shadows rushing towards me. Tears started flowing as I screamed at the top of my voice, but the more I screamed not a single voice was heard. As the tears completely covered my vision, my legs hit hard on something on my way and the next moment I had tumbled down. As I had no energy what so ever to get up I could see the three daemons closing on me. Helplessly I tried to move with my hands but in vain. I screamed hard for help, but as those dirty hands came close to me I closed my eyes, to feel them on me. I waited for long but just could not feel anything on me. What had happened was not known and I didn’t want to know. I didn’t have the courage of opening my eyes and facing them once more. But then suddenly I could feel something on me. Yes indeed I could feel it, but it was different. It was a sense of caressing. What was it? I started feeling that some one was indeed answering my question. I opened my eyes to see one of the unbelievable sites of all times. I could see the three daemons getting away from me but with a scare on their faces. Why was it? Why were they scared of me? I was just a helpless lad in front of them. But indeed they were running away from me and it seems they were running for their life. But as I saw them going back I could still feel the caress on my head. I couldn’t wait any further to see what it was. As my tears vanished and as I started getting back my vision I could see someone very familiar standing with me with a hand on my head, even the smell was familiar. I rubbed my eyes to get a closer view of who he was and to my surprise and to my hearts content and happiness I could see my father wishing me with that great sweet smile of his “Good Morning dear wake up”.

“You have driven me to tears.” I was never put to sleep alone; never had I to face daemons. I am not taught to be scared of responsibility nor do I fear of loneliness. Because I can still feel those soft hands around me that protects me from every existing daemon. I can still feel that wonderful smile that overflows with love. I can still feel his warmth that wipes away all my worries. But I dread to remember those happy days that I used to dine with my family that was so complete. I can’t stand the memories of those moments with my father. I can’t look at the Mickey he presented me for my last birthday. I can’t bear to touch the snaps of my marriage. Because I still believe or rather wait or more correctly crave for his call at 11 when I am all alone at home.

Hi Arjun,

Good going with the blog! Looks like you've got a thing for writing eh?! I too gave blogging a little try (http://randomjots.blog-city.com) but could never find the discipline to do it consistently. Right now there are more "Keep Alive" entries (i.e., pseudo blog entries so the website doesn't close down my blog!) there than actual ones!

You keep blogging away.. And I'll follow along wherever destiny takes ya :)..
