| MY EMPTY HANDS...!!! |
Every morning, I
want to take tea that is served by my Mom.
My day starts from the sip of tea. I
take tea on my bed, move window’s curtain and enjoy the scenery of a beautiful
garden. Here I see sunrise. She has been my favorite’s personality from my
childhood. She is a wonderful cook. Sometimes I think that my life would not be
the same without her. She is treated as a most important member of our family.
She is talkative and sometimes shows rude behaviour to others. Actually, she
obeys her own father’s orders than my father. My Grandpa’s name is “Halter”. Actually, my Mom sent me to Mr. Halter’s home for better studies. Because there is calm
atmosphere for studies and he lived there lonely.
In Mr. Halter’s home, there is
a separate room for study, which was reserved for me. There every one gave me
respect because of Mr. Halter’s pleasure. Sometimes I took lunch from my uncle’s home. Here
I was very happy. My Mom wanted to
make my future prosperous. I recall
to my mind all these memories of my past.
However, today my mood is very well. Today I am
going to meet my friend “Jim”. I became excited when I
came to know that he is going to Australia for studies. Actually,
it was his dream that came into reality. He was so glad to go there.
I was shocked when I come back to my home, here my Dad was shouting on my Mom loudly. I ask about the reason then my Dad said to me “Your mom wants to fix your wedding with your cousin”. I became so angry because she wanted to please her father not me. My Dad asked me about my opinion; I rejected this proposal of my cousin. Therefore, my Dad also gave that answer to my Mom. To hear that answer from my side, my Mom started crying. When my Mom conveyed this message of rejection to Mr. Halter. In the reaction, he expressed his rude behaviour to my Mom. When my mother came back to home she told us what her father said to her. She says that my lovely father said to me:
“If you will
not fix wedding of your son according to my wish, I’ll leave you forever”
After listening that, I came out to the garden. Here I started crying a lot because I loved Riana since my childhood. That time I thought about my mother’s injustice instead of knowing that I love Riana very much and all times I think about my first love. I was thinking that how can I live without Riana and can tolerate any girl as my wife except Riana.
‘‘No need to
worry about her now but if it would be again…then she must be dead, so make her
happy ever till her life”
When my Mom came back to home after recovery, I asked my mom that I am agree to marry with my cousin happily. After listening this good news, my Mom recovered soon and gave this good news to her father Mr. Halter.
After some days, I got married to “Samara”. After my wedding, my Mom and my wife were happy except my cute sister, my brother, my father. These days I realized a lot that Riana still my first love. Actually, my wife Samara is not much attractive as Riana is. My wife does not know about cooking. Often whenever I look in Riana’s eyes then some tears fall from my eyes. Furthermore, I think about my Mom’s injustice what she has done with my life.
My Dad was angry to my Mom since my wedding because he was not agreed. One day, my caring father left our home suddenly. The Next Day I saw that he was not inside his room and I was searching him everywhere but I couldn’t find him. I loved my father than my Mom
I was sitting on a bench of garden with tears and recalled the last night conversation with him. My sweet Dad loved me so much therefore last night he called me from my room and asked me to walk with him to garden. So I went with him, there he said to me;
“I
know that your mother forced you for marry with Samara. That’s why you get
marry In spite of loving with Riana…..I can’t see and even can’t bear your pain,
dejection and isolation that you are facing now”
Now, his words are announcing in my ears. That night he was continually crying.
However, I had not any idea that he would leave our home. I saw my father that winter night last time. This incident left a deep effect on my Mom’s health that my Mom dies because of repentant that she has done with my life and my Dad’s disobedience.
My Mom was dead. But, I am suffering up until now… just because of my marriage.
My Mom was dead but she gave me painful life…
After my mom’s death, my wife took her mother to my home to live here forever. Both my wife Samara and her Mom are living in my home. Both are honors of my home and I am nothing for them. They don’t care for me.
Now I just go to my office and then my home is like a hell for me….
Now I am just passing days of my life…..with pain, tears and harsh memories of my life!
