Time is omniscient and omnipotent. There is no one in the entire universe more powerful than time. We all should and must function according to the time.
"Time and tide wait for none." as the proverb says, time cannot be stopped or intervened. We must function with respect to time. We must be convenient and adaptable with time.
I am the time and now I will narrate this story which is full of adventure and implicitness. I was there when Shina faced such trouble. I am here when Rita is facing such a problem in her life. Though I cannot help or conciliate, I am always there observing the activities that are occurring around her. I will now address the feeling of Rita and explain the situation from my perspective.
Rita after explaining the situation to her relatives and leaving Shina at the hospital came back to the house for packing her stuff. In the meantime, there is a turmoil of thoughts within her. She constantly thought that how she imagined her life to be, and how is it now. She even didn't hesitate to grumble about her father.
"It's all his fault. Why did he do these kinds of stuff? What is adventure? What sort of personality is it? All these things are the causes of the problems that we are facing right now."
Rita kept on saying," Not only Dad, But Ma is also one of the major causes of her own and my problems. Why didn't she take an action against the decisions that are taken by the Dad? Why did she fail to understand that husband and wife are both faces of the same coin, two wheels of the same chariot? Both of them have equal rights towards themselves.
No one is superior to another. Then why did she fear Dad? Why did she not objectify the situation? As big as it's dad's fault, It's Ma's fault as well.
She was thinking and packing the bag at the same time. There was this strange tussle of thoughts that were going on in her mind. She was in disbelieved that these things are actually happening to her.
Rita then remembered the beautiful maternal bond with her mother.
" Rita, never give up in your life. Life always is not beautiful as it looks. Even for Kings and queens, life is miserable sometimes then what are we? Never lose hope. I know that there could be some circumstances in your life where which could be as dark as a scary night but the night signifies the occurrence of a beautiful, bright morning."
Rita was constantly remembering her mother and that sheltering, comforting, and protective nature of hers. She was not only recalling her mother's memories but also she was weeping understanding her condition now.
Rita while packing her bags, found a special diary. It was her mother's diary and she never let Rita touch it. Rita always wanted to read that diary but she was never given that chance.
But now was the chance. She opened the diary and started to read. She peruses every word written by her mother.
The first page of the diary stated as follows. " I know how adventurous and silly you are my little one. I know once you would obviously open this diary. So here I am. I know that in your life somewhere, you will come across the mystery of our life, and your father's death and other various confusions will tingle your head.
So I want to say that you will get answers to all the questions that you want in Nepal and on the pages that you will turn."
Rita then turned the page and In bold letters, there was written "Open only when you reach Nepal."
Rita then completely zoned out for some time. Due to the constant heaviness and roughness, she didn't even have time to sleep. So she passed out thinking about her mother and what would she do when she would reach Nepal.
The telephone rang and It was Lily. "Rita, are you ready? Have you packed up? We have a flight to Nepal in a few hours."
"What? Noway, Oh shit! I was sleeping. anyway, my packing is all done and yes I am ready for whatever comes for me in the future now." Rita exclaimed.
There was this different sense of confidence and a positive aura that was clearly visible at that time. The environment around Rita was completely changed by her commitment. It was due to Shina's belief in her and the power of selfless love that she gave to her.
"Yes, You completely needed this. But you are not alone, we are also here for you always. Now stop this melodrama. I am heading to the airport and Jacob is meeting us there. So hurry up and reach the airport." Lily added.
"Yes, I will reach there in an hour. Bye," Rita said and concluded the call.
I, the omniscient time, was also surprised by the change that was with her.
Then she packed that diary inside her case and went out of the house towards the airport.
What will be there on the diary's next page? Will she get all of her answers? Let's find out in the next chapter.
