Gone with the water


It was a matter of few minutes, when the flames engulfed her in its arms. The purity and charm that had cast a magical spell on everything around her disappeared, leaving a large vaccum. The word, ‘Life,’ now ceased to exist for her and became a memory for her near and dear ones. No, not memory, rather memories because she used to spread love in a way which would never erase from anybody’s mind.

Her son, whom she believed was the only source of happiness and a medium to express her grief was numb as he saw her lifeless body. He carried the pain of her non-existence for 3 years, but that day torn him apart. The inconsolable mind was curious to find a source of relief, but time and again it was transported back to those moments it passed in love and care. He couldn’t hold it for long as tears rolled down his eyes thus helping him to vent out his emotions.

And then came the final time to bid adieu.
 

There was nothing. Only a few ashes were left. Ashes that had no meaning now; they flowed away with water leaving behind ripples of pain.
