In the funeral
There were those too in the crowd that came here to
be part of this ‘event’ to take a ‘selfie’ a post it on their social site. The occasion
didn’t seem important to them. They never seemed to understand the gravity of
such situations. For them, it was always about taking photos or videos and
posting it. The number of likes decided their ‘happiness’ and ‘confidence’
levels of that day. They lived in the bubble of their own that seemed so
fragile that it broke every hour. No doubt their ‘worthiness’ was as baseless
as their ‘concern’ of life. Did we as a generation lose touch with reality in general?
Radha and Shyam had been married for a year and half
now. There were more fights than anything between them. They had married after
having waited for 5 years. And yet today they regretted their decision. There was
complaints, arguments and more complaints between them. They had proved their
families right who had argued that their marriage wouldn’t work. Both Radha and
Shyam were part of this procession. Films were something that brought them
together. This celebrity was their favourite. But today each had come with
their friends.
“If we are suffering her death so much, we can’t
imagine what her spouse is going through!” said one among them. This was
general point touched by all there. Both Radha and Shyam heard it. They both
stopped in their tracks “If they lost the other to death?” this simple thought
crossed their minds and they froze. They felt their world torn apart. They lived
the emptiness that situation provided. Arguments, hurts, expectations,
complaints, words, disappointments and all had pushed love into abyss beyond
the reach of heart. Now this emptiness surfaced the
love that was buried deep
down. And fear shook them and they turned and ran towards their homes to right
the wrong. Now nothing mattered. These little things seemed frivolous when
compared to death or losing the other. Tears rolled down their cheeks. They weren’t
aware of their eyes crying. They were running and knew not that. They had to
meet the other. Nothing, nothing else mattered. The crowd moved in one
direction and them in the other. No one noticed them. And neither did they.
