The Haunting Tear (Short Story)

Well, you might be wondering why the title sounds so weird.......well, the story itself is so weird and myterious, that its till to-date, an unsolved one........so we leave the tough job to you

..............SOLVE THE MYSTERY......................

It was a Sunday mid-morning. A funday for any kid, and the it was the same for me. Little did I know that this day would endup being the weirdest sunday of my life. I never saw it coming because it was Diwali(Indian light fest) the next day and Eid was fast approching.

Me and my mom were at the market, shopping for some dress materials for the festival. As usual she found the prices high and she started bargaining and as don't like listening to my mother bargaining, started gazing around the market place. Many people, unlike my mother were quietly talking business and some like my mother, were bargaining at the top of their voices. Suddenly out of nowhere, I saw a lady, she was very beautiful. With her fair face and dark hair, she looked like an angel dropped from heaven. But she looked very sad. Then she looked at me, straight in the eye, and I looked at her. We were like this for nearly ten minutes.
It was then the worst happned.......A tear trickled down from her brown watery eyes and her face. She never wiped it off and it gripped my heart. Questions started flooding my mind....What might have happned?, Why did she look so helpless? Was there no one for her?.........Who was she??....But my mother's voice broke into my thoughts. She was calling me and I had to go.
The face.....it was still on my mind.

That night I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking of the lady, her face, her watery eyes, that tear, and for the first time in my life, a tear ran down from my eyes, for someone I didn't know.
Suddenly the tear of the lady and my tear seemed to have some kind of a bond. A bond of understanding and love. A bond, which was formed all of a sudden.

But one thing still haunts me till today. That tear, I felt some how, responsible for it!!
As if it was all my mistake!!As if I could help her and I delibrately did not.

Till today, I ask myself only one question with a small tear trickling down my cheek.

"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THE TEAR, THAT STILL HAUNTS ME TODAY??"

THANKYOU ALL!!

You with Me (Poem)

It was I who
Got you all together
Thats what is you all told me,
You thanked me
And told me that "we owe you,
our lives."

Every second your words flowed with the essence of joy,
"Its all because of you" is what you all said.

Every minute you all celebrated with happiness
"Its all because of you" is what you all said.

Every hour your eyes glowed with love,
"Its all because of you" is what you all said.

Every moment of your lives, you all prayed together,
Hand in hand.
"Its all because of you" is what you all said.

You know I felt so blessed
Whenever you told me "it was all because of you".

But fortunately or unfortunately
A day arrived when I felt
Nothing like a blessed person
But a one who was cursed.

There came a day where
Every second all your words were gripped with anger.
Every minute I saw you all sad.
Every hour your eyes were filled with sorrow.
Every moment of your lives,
you all prayed seprately, leaving your joined hands.

From then on every word you said, pierced my heart
Like an arrow.

When you all were together, you blessed me abundantly.
Today that you all are separated you curse me endlessly.

Curses!With the only words.....

"JUST BECAUSE OF YOU...."

Life and Love (Poem)

Life is not all love
it is not all hate too.

They say a human
without love is a stone
but I know a human with hate
knows what life really is.

They say first love is unforgettable
but I know, first love is
always forgotten........
specially from the
betrayer's side,
wether it the girl or the guy

They say it is good to
forget the past and
start a fresh life,
But I know that memories, moments and
things once stored in the heart cannot be
erassed.....
Just like how you can't forget your childhood.

They say, think about your future,
but what if .............the past doesn't leave U??

Why? (Poem)

When I, for the first time started walking and fell down,
I wanted you to come running towards me
Instead you just walked away to your room
Why? I ask
A mocking laugh is the reply I get.

When I, for the first time called you
I wanted to see an excited and a jumping person in you.
But you just increased the volume of the radio
Why? I ask
'I can't hear you' is the reply I get!!

When I came home from my first day of school,
I wanted you to help me do my Home work
You just picked your story book and started reading instead,
Why? I ask
"I am am not bothered" is the reply I get

When I became a teenager and fell in love
I wanted to tell you first
but you just ignored me
Why? I ask
"I have to go and i am in a hurry" is the answer I get

When I graduated
I was waiting to see a proud face
But you were never there.
Why? I ask.
"I am in a meeting" is the reply I get.

Whenever I felt lonely
I wanted someone to hold my hands in the darkness
Instead you folded your hands
Why? I ask
An ignoring look is all I get

When I was diagonsed with cancer
I wanted someone to come and support me
But you were very far.
Why? I ask
"I am tired and want to go home for resting" is the reply I get.

I never hated you
But you always hated me.
Why? I ask.
A bland reply is all I get.

Today I am resting in my grave
And finally I ask you to drop a rose on my grave every morning
And you give me a YES!! , which come out filled with love and care
Why? I ask
Because it is now that you remembered me calling you "DADDY"
For the first and last time in our life.

If There is light in the Soul,
there will be beauty in the Person,
If the there is beauty in the person,
there will be harmony in the House,
If there is harmony in the house,
there will be order in the Nation,
If there is order in the nation,
There will be PEACE IN THE WORLD!!
- A Chinese Saying
