The Only "She"



I saw her on a wedding while she was holding my friends hand and following his instruction knocking her head like his cute child. I, not only admired her but also observed her innocence and quietness. I witnessed a transmitting chemistry and bonding that she had with my friend, and that time my heart felt for her and that was the first day i visited her home. Frequent visits made me to interact with her closely which made a great feeling for her. 

Whenever she sees me visiting her home, she would smile at me first and run towards kitchen, to offer food for me. I directly follow her till kitchen, by not realizing it's someone's home.  She even bought a separate serving plate at her home for me, which I came to know later. I used to get melted, when she comes to me pointing her finger towards upwards and asking “oru small helpu”. 

And one day when i got married, I sensed the changes in her behavior with me as she forced herself to give me respect. Despite trying to change it many times, i failed. The kind of respect that she gave me was so annoying to me that she never use to lay down or sleep in front of me.

But then one day came, she threw away all those formalities which she was following and saw her lying on bed in deep sleep despite my presence refusing to see me, on her funeral L
And today, I wish she pay respect to me by waking up from sleep, get up with smile and walk towards the kitchen. It’s too late now as she was unwilling to throw her deep sleep for anyone, and not even for his beloved Son.

When anyone knock her doors even at midnight, she always offered food with delight. Those hands have been burned for that huge offense. Despite facing enormous pain, she always said I am fine with a huge smile and that heart was penalized to stop for being untruthful. A pure sole, who just, just and just lived for her family, never had any desires for her and always seen smiling despite making fun of her, was induced with a virus and fired for all of her sins (are these are really sin in present world to face such pain?)

Personalities with such characteristics will now remain as a history, as they aren’t often reborn usually. I feel feared that I still have to face such send-off’s in my life.

Should I feel sad for her loss, or feel glad that she had freed herself from all the pain that she faced. Should I keep thinking that she is no more or cherish with past memories letting it to be ON.                         
How much every you say, its not enough to substitute the loss of her.

She is irreplaceable and she’s my Mother in Law.

Rest in Peace atleast now, Radha. 

I definitely have no option now to demonstrate my affection to you, but ofcourse I can give those to your daughter and to the family, for whom you had always lived for.

I burn this letter to see if it can reach you and would assume the ashes as your acknowledgement.


Your’s Son
