A Hopeful Soul

There was a faith; a spark of light passing through her shadowy heart towards her soul and a reason to smile.

“My love will compel him back to me; I will wait till my last breath.” She believed.

Time changed! Months bowed into years and years into decades. Thoughts shifted to fears and dreams into nightmares.

She was 11 when he was captured in her eyesight for the foremost time and now she was turning 66. The journey of wait has been provoking a pacific pain in her and with the time the pain was getting deeper within itself. She was transformed into a selfless human, generous, and endearing.

A 66 years old lady; her eyes deep inside her pale wrinkled face, her hair were whitened and her hands were trembling hard. She was lying on her bed near a window. Her voice was lifeless within herself and her sight was fading nevertheless she was staring out of the window hopefully. Her eyes were stuck on her house entrance in the wait of someone.

_It was a cold windy night of December when the main gate crackly opened. Someone gently entered. Smoothly stepping towards the door with eyes widely opened were shining like a star. Slowly he entered the house effortlessly through the half-opened door. He walked up the stairs with calmness and stopped on a door. Taking a few seconds on thinking what to do next, he decided to enter. He cautiously tried to push the door. And on his first push the door smoothly opened. He walked into the room and stopped near the bed where she was lying still. He climbed on to the bed and managed to sit near her.

She was in deep sleep when suddenly she felt his essence just beside her. As she opened her eyes he finally called out ‘meow’.

He was back finally.
