A smile that held me along!

Woke up at 10 on a sunday morning, all worried what will everyone say. Expected were those early morning scoldings , but hardly anyone noticed.
Immediately freshened and decided to begin the routine work. But everything was already done, anything rather nothing was required to work upon.
It's been years this has never happened, though was relieved but was missing being busy. Unable to find someone to talk, finally made plans to go out.


Walking past the door was the sense of satisfaction that was rare emotion to experience. This was the day where everything was available to do yet couldn't seek something good enough to do. Tried to work on thoughts and gather the reason for such unusual happenings. But wasn't able to move to a conclusion and decided to confront him.


He was the only person who mattered the most and only he could resolve all the queries. It all got burst out, "what's happening, why suddenly all this, did I commit any mistake, tell me, talk to me!" He said I am enjoying a holiday from my tiring office work, so I am trying to give you freedom from yours, as I'm already guilty you are lot more worth to what you receive. All she said was thank you while a tear rolled down her right cheek. It took her minutes to immerse into the emotion, she recollected every moment when she cursed her life is so unimportant, she cursed the people who didn't care if she dressed properly though did notice if the dinner wasn't tasty enough. It had been days she was losing interest in herself and now she was sure he still cared about her and he still loved her.


Days passed along, calendar turned a few months ahead and suddenly the phone rang, it said its an emergency please come to the hospital. Rushed without bothering about the bruises along the way and tried best to look into doctor's eyes but it was all blurred. The doctor pointed "hold your tears, gather yourself and go in." The distance from the door to bed was longer than silence after the call. As a miracle a fragile hand rose, it looked so weak because of the long suffering illness, it requested to come closer, she gathered the strength to say "thank you again for that one day holiday, it was enough for this life, I would wait to meet you in next life." His heart filled with pain and stammered to question her "but, this life?" She just smiled and closed her eyes taking a deep breath, that look on her face gave him the satisfaction that she was happy even on her death bed, he exclaimed!


When he looked towards the person he was narrating this to, he smiled and said "this is enough for this life!"
