THE WIDOW
"LIFE, a journey that is beyond of our imaginations and the way which depends on us either to make it easy to walk or hard to move on" Life is something which is very far from our calculations so defying life is hard with a certain reason. Life brings many ups and downs in the journey. It can't be defined with any particular meanings of life as it varies from person to person. Some sees life with joy of nature whereas some feels like an ocean of sorrow which never ends with pains. Some smile with the life by gaining something very important of their life and some keep on crying due to many obstacles faced in the journey of life. Life brings many circumstances in anyone's journey that is why it is called life and therefore we call it is the life.
RADHA, who was threatened and robbed by the time in the journey of her life, is a girl who is just in her 22.
She is sitting in a corner of her bedroom thinking of her past life which was full of color. She had a very colorful life till she grew up, fell in love and married even it was interclass the family of her husband easily accepted her without any hesitation challenging the whole society. She was very much fortune to have such family and her own family member were also happy even after daughter married to the person whom they did not allow for the first time for her life but later on looking after his dedication, determination, love and care for her daughter they allow their daughter to choose him as her life partner. Everyone was happy because they knew that he can make her happy.
Society has always pressurized everyone in the name of social norms and values so obviously they were not happy with this interclass marriage that has been conducted between Radha and her husband Krishna. Radha was from higher class of family whereas Krishna was from Middle class of family so the people from both communities were not happy with the family of both love birds. They married with the support from their families but not with the agreement from the society.
Who care if families are happy then who else will take responsibilities to make all happy of the society after all society is only mean for backbiting. The fact of the real society is society will never praise you in your any success as by saying this was kind of a simple work and anyone can do it to achieve this success and if it just get any small point to show your fault then there is no doubt it will spread your spread your mistakes and faultiness more faster than the air. To pull your legs if you are in the path of success it will not leave its any energy to do that and that is called the society even it is hidden fact of the society as in front of all we only see the happy faces.
It's the early morning in the month of January. The cold environment outside was compelling not to leave anyone's warm bed sheet in the hilly region of Nepal and freezing wind was making people to stay around the burnt firewood warning warm woolen made but fancy clothes in the Kathmandu valley of Nepal. Many were in their bed and many have started their household work to make ready the morning breakfast for their family members. Radha was in good sleep in her bed. Then suddenly she hears someone calling in her dream.
Radha! Oh! Radha!
"Radha, did you wake up?"
"Dear Radha! If you are waked up, please come down." Then the voice lowered and vanished.
Oh! No, its' not the dream. Her mother in law was calling her from the down stair.
Yes! Mother, I am coming.
She then woke up taking deep breath from her warm bed sheet. There were many changes in her bedroom. There used to be fragrances of her loving husband Krishna when in morning she used to wake up from the side of him.
But now, the time is not the same as it was in three months ago.
Three months ago, the time when her only loving husband died in an accident, she was just thinking all those things in her mind. Then she heard the alarmed sound of her cell. She went to the bathroom and became fresh then Came out and changed her night dress. Just was near about to leave the bedroom to go down stair then her eyes went in the big sized photo of her lovely husband but unfortunately it was decorated by the big garland as the size of the photo with pretty smile in his face hung in the perfectly colored wall of room. She once gave glance to the photo and went downstairs.
Radha went towards the place form where her mother in law was calling for her.
"Dear Radha, you came now" Said by mother in law.
Yes mom. She replied.
Where are others? Radha asked.
Oh! Father in law has gone to buy newspaper and Kathrin has gone out for jogging. May be both are on the way to home.
Oh! Dear Radha well! I am in great desire to have a cup of tea. If you don't mind can we have a cup of tea for me?
Ok! Mother I will bring by making tea. Mother in law had a cup of tea then both of them got busy in kitchen mean while father in law enters in the house. After few minutes of arrival in the house,
Oh! No, he whispered.
What happened, the wife asked to him?
I forgot to buy newspaper. He replied.
Oh! Why you have to see newspaper as there is not any good news. There is always printed the news of accidents and deaths. Mostly covers the news related to political issues and the disgusting thoughts which we even don't think to be happening in our real life. Early morning must give us courage with positive vibes to make the happy day but nowadays the newspapers are ruining the morning and the happiness of people and make us think in a certain topic for the whole day. So, I don't prefer you to read such nonsense topic in the early morning.
Ha! Ha! Ha! Whatever; it is my habit to read newspaper in morning time.
Better I will call to Kathrin and asked for it. Then he deeds the same. After five minutes Kathrin enters in the room and handovers the newspaper to the father.
Father and Kathrin sit on chair around the dining table. Radha brought a cup of coffee to father in law and hot lemon to Kathrin.
Thank you dear Radha, says Kathrin and she smiles.
Father and daughter have good conversation in current situation on the basis of printed newspaper.
Then father in law went for his particular work whereas three of them got busy in kitchen works. At 09:00 am in the morning the dining table was full of morning breakfast. All gathered together and started to have nice talk.
Father in law started the conversation, "Kathrin I heard the news that your holidays is going to be started soon for final exam of Master in Law"
Yes dad, after three days onwards my holidays for exam preparation is going to be started.
Mother smile after hearing it. Wow! Such great news, now I will have full company of my dear daughter.
There was huge laugh of family.
Radha was there listening to all of them and spreading her smile although all knows she is little broken from inside after the death of her beloved husband.
Then mother said I was thinking about something.
What? Father asked.
What is that mom? Kathrin said.
If you all agree, I have something to say. Mother said.
Now tell me my dear, we all are eager to know that. Father added.
Oh dear mom, don't keep on suspension. Tell us now. Kathrin added with her smile.
Radha was there just looking after all of their eyes with curiosity.
Mother added, as the holidays are going to be started of Kathrin, why not to send Radha to her House to spend quality time with her families.
Radha became awkward after hearing it.
Wow nice idea my dear, father said.
Umm! Great thought my dear mom. Let's think of it as well. It's been so long Radha has not been to there since the death of my dear brother. Kathrin explained to all.
Radha was there just listening to them as she has nothing to say coz it really was many days that she has not gone to meet her father, mother and only brother who always call her without missing a single day.
No mother in law, right now I am not thinking of going there. She said to them.
No my dear, it's been so long you have not been there and the holidays of Kathrin is also going to be started from after three days. She will help mother in household chores and I am also here then you don't have to worry of all these so you can go. Father in law said.
