Time passed slowly and silence further reduced its speed.
When I thought I could take it no more, I heard Swetha say “She is crying since
two days and has hardly touched food. Her exams start from tomorrow and hence I
brought her here so that you can put some sense in her”.
“But it was my best friend. How can I not get affected with
her death” shouted back Sweety in between her tears. This girl was hardly in
her teens – just around 12/13 years of age. Poor girl! How can one console her
of her lose? We all were moved. Not that we haven’t seen or experienced death
before but because here a small sweet kid was taking it and we knew her
suffering and couldn’t see her suffering. That’s all!
But Guruji’s face showed no such emotion or feeling. Smiling
she asked Sweety ‘can I tell you a story?”.
Sweety looked surprised through her tears but managed to say
‘only if you tell me where my friend is now and how is she?’
‘Done’ said our Guruji and continued ‘In a certain water body
under the water lived lots of ‘water maggots’. But of late, they noticed that
one among them would become slowly depressed dull and silent and would slowly
move away from the colony. Then after few days that person would climb the
stalk of lily flowers and keep climbing it. after climbing these maggots never
came back. Where and why they went to place that they went, no one knew. Others
were getting worried and confused. So they all called for a meeting and the
smart one among them said ‘let’s make a promise today. Whoever goes next would
come back to tell all others about the place that he went or visited and why no
one came back.” All found it good and hence everyone made a pact.
