LOVE PREVAILS...

LOVE PREVAILS...


Gathering all the energy that stalled in me, i strived hard to get back to my hostel room. Food poisoning had killed almost all the rats in my stomach. After which i refrained myself from the unhealthy mess food. My roommate had gone to visit her aunt which was another disappointment for me. 2nd floor seemed like a mountain trek. Each step i took toward my room, it reminded me of my mom who's repeated efforts of making me to learn to cook had gone in vain. My hands were numb,feet cold, and mouth dry out of breathlessness. Darkness had started to overshadow in front of my eyes. This illness had become unbearable for me. i could feel my body heat up as chills ran down my spine.
All i wanted was for someone who could be with me at this difficult moment, who could provide me with all the love and care that i was starving for. cushioned warmth of someone's arms i missed so badly. I felt like a withered plant anticipating for a beam of sunlight. I was standing right in front of my door trying to locate the keys when my sight started blurring. As i opened the door i tried to reach out for my phone so i could call for help. All I can recall is, I had called up on the very first number  that was on my dial list. After a few rings the person answered my call and all i could say was "hello" and then I collapsed on the floor.
When i regained consciousness, i could hear a sweet voice humming. Slowly and gradually the song became clearer. It was a familiar song by a person very close to my heart . I found myself safe and cozy in his arms. With his hand caressing my hair tenderly, he gently kissed my forehead. I looked at him with twinkling eyes. My heart was engulfed with happiness again and with a smile on my lips i enunciated  
 “I LOVE YOU DAD."
