She wants to live

Labels: ,
Post views: counter
The night was dark and there was a slight drizzle. She stood there shivering in the rain. "If only she had listened to her inner instincts" she was intruded by deafening wailing sound.

She was bewildered as every one around were crying and shouting. She made an effort to ask every one, but nobody responded, she saw her mother was shedding tears, her brother smashing his head against the wall, her small child was gazing the wall, he was unaware of the incident but was sure something's going wrong, she could feel her mother's pain, she wanted to wipe her brother's tears, protect her mother, cheer up her child, but then she realized people were not aware of her presence.

Mansi was reminisced with an incident, she was driving on Glaltula Highway, challenging the speed wind so that she could reach home before 12, she wanted to be on her son's third birthday, she was chasing cool breeze, if only she had to die to reach there, she would even do that, It was almost 11.23, she had to cover an 46.2 km in just a span of 30 minutes, suddenly a very glary head light blinded her way, she lost her control and dashed the huge trailer.
Mansi understood she wasn't alive; she no more belonged to this beautiful place. Being a spirit she couldn't have feelings but water was dripping from her eyes, she couldn't die anymore but she died endlessly seeing her son, if she was alive after other half's death it was only because of her son, she wanted to live not for her but for her son. She cried aloud, but she knew the pain that she left for her son, the pain that she left for her mother, the feelings that she left for her brother, but there was no one to share her grief, although it was nothing in front of her beloved's pain.

She wants to live further, not for herself but for her son, she wants to live.
