I honestly don't know what I have written; just something that came to mind and I jotted it down without giving it a second thought! Requires major editing but due to lack of time, I wasn't able to do so; please ignore the grammatical errors! Comments/Criticisms are welcome! (PS: First attempt of writing something on Jeeman)
Lying in your feet & Living in your arms
There she was,
sitting on the bed with her eyes closed and a pillow in her lap; she
had isolated herself in a dark room after the conversation that she
just had with her sister. Each and every word of that conversation
echoed in her ears; it was an expected reaction but still deep down,
she hoped that she would understand. If not her, then who will? Tears
continued to roll down as she recalled those words of her sister,
"Di, aapne mujhe zindagi nahi maut di hai"; just the word 'maut'
managed to send shivers down her spine yet again. Did she really do
all that for nothing?
Manvi's silence and anger in return of her
sacrifice almost made it all seem worthless; yes she saved her
sister, but in actual terms, she lost her. She handled all the pain
without uttering a word but this- her silence- was killing her more
than anything; she knew Manvi would express anger, but now that it
has been almost a week since they have talked, it is becoming
intolerant for her. She knew Manvi's anger is more than just that;
her anger really mirrored her love, her concern for her Di, but Manvi
really needs to understand that I couldn't have just sit through her
cancer knowing that I had the chance to save her!!! While she was
immersed in her thoughts, she twitched her foot slightly as she felt
a droplet on her foot, and just as she opened her eyes, she saw a
pair of hand resting on her feet.
She quickly
leaned forward and held those hands as she looked in her eyes nodding
her head to forbid her from what she was doing. Manvi quickly got up
and sat next to Jeevika crushing her in a tight hug and they stayed
like that for an eternity; a room that had pin drop silence few
minutes ago was now echoeing with loud sobs. Jeevika rubbed her back
and carassed her hair to calm her down but it seemed like a dam over
filled with emotions had broken down; those tears were words of
Manvi's guilt, her gratitude, her devotion towards her GOD and for
Jeevika, they were tears of her acceptance and forgiveness , her
breakdown, her joy of getting Manvi back. Jeevika slowly pulled
herself back stroking Manvi's hair and placed a soft kiss on her
forehead.
Could words have done justice if Manvi was to express her
apology to Jeevika for hurting her during all these days, for not
understanding what she must have gone through dealing with a loss of
her baby, for not being there for her when she needed her the most;
Could words have done justice if Manvi was to express her gratitude
to Jeevika for saving her- how does one thank their GOD? She opted
for something that she felt couldn't have been more perfect; She
seeked solace and forgiveness as she touched her feet with a devotion
that one ought to have towards their God- a GOD that she can proudly
claim as one of her own, her own blood & her God-Jeevika held her
in her arms, protecting her angel from all the harm!!!
