By sitting in front of the picture of her late husband, Mrs. Pratibha Sen cherishes those old memories-those happy memories of the time they shared together.Her husband Mr. Shyamaprashad Sen was a retired Govt Clerk. He passed away just a few weeks ago. Her son Rohit, who is an employee in a big IT company is in London right now.
The house is so small.. They didn't even know about luxury or anything else but they were happy despite of all the adversities.
She remembers the day when their son Rohit was born. He filled their small world with happiness. He was their only hope. Mr. Shyamaparashad Sen's only dream was to make his son well established. He wanted his son to be so successful that one day he would proud-fully say-"Yes ,Rohit is my son!"
But that was not a piece of cake for his kind of ordinary clerk. That was not easy enough to send his son to an expensive engineering college. But however he managed to do that. And one day his dream came true. Rohit came to him and said that he got a job and moving to London.
And then? Everything changed. Rohit was so busy that he forgot his parents.One day Mr.Sen had an accident. Mrs. Sen tried to call Rohit but he was on his holidays.
After couple of days Mr. Sen died. He had been waiting for his son till his last breath but ...........
A common story but a very bitter truth!

Just beside the point...
ReplyDeleteI look at a face..any face..anywhere. And I look closer..inside the face. And I see a story. Good / Bad / Ugly / Commonplace / Vague / Stereotype / Wonderful / Inspiring or nothing at all. And then to think...
That's all of his life he got there! An adjective to a bystander.
