Why Am I Alone?

Why Am I Alone?
Bodhisattwa Parekh



A fresh morning.
Life begins afresh.
Today is Sunday.
A special day, a holiday.
The day for entertainment.


Today we will go to a picnic.
It is the extreme spring.
We will go to a famous garden.
We will enjoy the whole day within floral fragrances.
When will she come?
She is already two hours late.



It is afternoon!
I'm still waiting for her.
She doesn't come.


What happened?
I call her.
It is ringing...
She hasn't picked it up.
Very surprising...
I try several times.
The result remains unchanged.


I am getting tense.
What should I do now?
I decided to call her home.
Her parents got nervous.
What happened?
Doesn't she face any accident?


The police officer was helpful.
He intimated to me that only three accidents happened.
The first two resulted negative.
I thanked God.
This is the last one.
I prayed to God.


But...
I lost my sense.
I was admitted to hospital.
How can I live without you?

Two years passed away.
I can't find her replacement.
So I remain alone.
