Part of growing up is moving on and leaving something behind which can only offer pain. You don’t pass it. You just get used to it over the time. A quinquennial later. A warm feeling of sun entering the atmosphere that day made him to smile widely. He stretched his hands sitting on his bed with his eyes still closed. “Zorro” he heard a squeal and opened his eyes immediately and the smile on his face disappeared.  “Oh shit” he glanced the clock and pushed the quilt aside and ran to the washroom and walked out after freshening himself.…

Sanskar combed his wife’s hair and tied a neat ponytail. “How do you do that so perfectly? “she looked up at him through the mirror of the dresser. He placed a soft kiss on her side of the head. ” I just have done it with Ani’s doll so many times” he placed his chin over her shoulder. Ragini smiled looking at him. “So what are the plans for today? ” she turned to him. “Um. How about first we take a walk in the garden?” he rubbed his chin with his fingers. “Sounds good” Ragini stood up and immediately…

Annapurna glanced at Ragini while she placed the mangteeka fitting her hairline. Ragini returned a sweet smile to her mother in law. Annapurna placed her chin over Ragini’s head and looked at her with love. “You look beautiful” she took a pinch of kohl placing it behind Ragini’s ear. Ragini smiled while her mother in law embraced her. “Ahem” they heard someone clear their throat and turned to the door. Sanskar stood admiring his mother doting his wife and that smile on his lips stretched more. “Oh  did I interrupt you?” he walked to them while Annapurna nodded her head.…

Ragini took one more breath. “No” she stepped back. Sanskar did not liked the expression on her face. He moved his hand to touch her and she raised her hand to stop him.  She looked up to meet his eyes with her tear filled eyes. “NO” she said sternly. “You can’t back off now” he nodded his head. “I very much can” she wiped her cheeks and turned to reach the car. “Once just once for god sake see him. Once just see him what he had made himself” his words stopped her and she closed her eyes letting…

Sanskar could not understand whether he was dreaming or not when he opened his eyes and the tears were at the bay ready to drop. Meanwhile he felt Ragini’s presence very near to him. “I…” she gulped in suddenly feeling her dry throat. “I am sorry” her voice had the high pitch but less intensity. She sure was broken beyond repair. And he very well knew it. But he was so helpless that he could not mend her and heal her wounds. He so badly wanted to do it. But the thing only he could do was watch her suffer…

Mother is not just another person or relation. It’s your emotion of peace. It’s your emotion for the soul when nobody stands by it. Ragvi wiped that tear again and pressed her lips against each other. The curtain flapped but she did not blink her eyes. But nothing really helped. She felt a hand on her shoulder and closed her eyes recognizing the touch. “No… Don’t ask me to move on please” she said painfully. “I will never ask you to do so” Sumi’s voice broke her and Ragvi turned to hug her mother. She burst into a bitter cry.…

Sanskar held the juice glass and struggled to place it in the tray beside the bowl of cereals. His face had no emotion. He stared blankly for a moment before inhaling. Pari who was looking at him controlled her emotions. She surely could not see him like this. He licked his lower lip and held the tray up and walked towards his room. He stood watching the door for a brief. He brought that painful smile on his face and his eyes twitched and the tears stopped at the bay making his eyes twinkle. “Hey…” he whispered as his voice…

Forgiveness before repentance is the biggest punishment for the concise which struggles with the guilt. *the words in italics and bold are from the past. That night was usual. The same cold breeze blew and the moon light illuminated the earth. But someone the meaning of usual was going to change within some moments ahead. He looked at his phone for one more time and the maps which pointed the destination he himself typed. If it had the consequences clear and the heart to feel may be it would have never let him to reach there. He pushed the brakes…

The sun had kissed the earth good morning and Sanskar opened his eyes slightly. He looked beside him and realized Ragini wasn’t beside him. He scanned the room but she wasn’t there. He heard the shower sound and relaxed understanding that Ragini was already up. His back hit the bed back. Ragini walked out wiping the hair strands and stood near the dresser. “You’re early” Sanskar rubbed his one eye glancing at his wife. She smiled through the mirror and walked to him. “I knew you will forget” she gave a small pat on his forehead and he moved a…
