I can sing long odes to you my friend…
I can think numerous possibilities, in which I could have saved you,
But that precious moment has passed….
The moment of truth lingers, with its cruel smile!
Whatever I do now…
You will never come back…
The feeling makes me shiver…
But you will always be where I stand…
In my thoughts and in my heart…
It was a lazy afternoon today... first day of my semester holidays and i was lying flat on my bench, listening to an audio-story, least bothered about what was happening around. The doorbell rang... somebody came... i did not bother to even getup, still listening intently to the story... wilderness overshadowing everything!
Then... my mum and my house maid went hurrying to the balcony... my mum said something loudly and hurried downstairs... They had felled a really thick branch of our most loved tree.... I jumped from my bench and ran over... Oh God!!! I could hardly bear to see the sight... It was like I lost my most precious thing... this was one of the trees my grandpa planted... it has been there for more than 50 years!
It is a very rare tree!!!... a beautiful tree. I was in tears. Its branches touch my balcony. I always used to think this tree as something my grandpa left behind as him. I used to shake its branches as if it were my grandpas hands... many a times I have whispered joyous as well as sad things to it. It has seen every season of my life. It used to look over the progress of every activity in my house as if my grandpa was watching over and shake its head in approval.
...as my mum questioned my watchman... the reason came to light and it makes me feel even worse. Instead of cutting just the extra twigs... this dumb watchman and the tree killer (feller) had cut the entire thick bark... now my tree will never come back!!!
He said numerous sorries and apologies but... Will my vibrant, beautiful, green tree... a sight of unknown joy ever come back... will it?
I hate him forever...
What to do now??? The truth has to be accepted.... but I cannot.... my tree... it will never come back... I want it back...
***Why should the principle of life be... to lose certain things, which we would never get back???***
