SARAH POV

“I AM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS”

That’s it

That’s it finally my worlds shattered into million no zillion pieces.

I don’t know how to react or what to say. My mind and body have stopped processing. My entire system has shut down.

Nancy hold my hand and did something, maybe made me sit somewhere.

I don’t know how much time has gone and I am still sitting here.

Again I felt some movement around and but I don’t know what’s happening. It feels like I am frozen.

I could hear some mummers but nothing is clear and my vision is blurry. Why can’t I hear anything or see anything? I guess I need a doctor.

I felt a shake on my body first it was slow and then it was too strong like someone wants to hurt me. Now I was looking here n there to see where I am and I guess I am at the cemetery.

I saw a coffin in front of me and saw my Granny in it.

Why granny is sleeping here?

And finally, my mind started processing,

She is bidding me her final goodbye.

She is no more with me.

She is leaving me forever.

I officially become an orphan

I went towards her and open my bag, took out the gift I got for her, and kept it nearby her.

I felt some snow on her hand and lookup.

It’s snowing

I touched her cold hand for the last time, “Merry Christmas Granny, See white Christmas as you like” I said with a smile on my face I know how she used to get happy like a kid seeing white Christmas

I shall see you on another side hopefully soon till then rest in peace and say my Hi to Grand Pa and Mama.

I left her hand and let her go.

It’s late in the evening and I was standing at the same place, looking at the whole process. Everyone started going, I felt a hug I guess its Nancy.

She said something but I don’t know what. She opens my hand put something on it and close it again, and left I guess.

I look around and find only myself and my Granny.

I sat on my knee and said “so finally you also left and made me officially orphan?”

“You were the only family I had and now god has to snatch that too” After saying this I started laughing like a manic.

Granny, can you do me favour? Can u ask god, what sin I have made to get this life?

Why happiness never knock on my door?

You are the only one I had and that also gone.

Granny, I also want to come to you, I don’t want to live here alone.

I never tell anyone but I get scared alone granny please don’t leave me alone like this please granny, please. Finally, tears started flowing from my eyes.

First Mama left then Grand Pa now you.

Am I that bad?

Why did no one want to be with me?

Why everyone hates me?

Tell me, granny?

I cried for I don’t know how long.

I hug her grave, I felt I am hugging her I sob like no tomorrow, my eyes my body, and my heart was paining like anything.

My eyes started getting heavy and I was feeling sleepy finally.

I felt someone is shaking me saying, Miss? Miss?

But I don’t want to hear anything or anyone anymore I want to sleep with my granny I want to sleep here in her embrace.

This is my peace.

Finally, I fell into a deep slumber.

******

I got up with so much headache and my body aching like a bitch.

I sat on the bed holding my head and yesterday’s event come in front of me and I again got teary eyes.

I started laughing and said Good Morning Orphan

Well, this is my new reality and you can’t run away from your reality. Can you?

I left something on my left and I open and saw a pendant. It’s my Granny’s

She used to wear this and I used to love this beautiful tear-drop diamond pendant.

She used to tell me she will give me one day.

I closed my palm again and cry my heart out.

I don’t know how long I am laying in the same position on the bed.

Finally, I got up and saw the time it's evening.

I went to the washroom to take shower.

After a shower, I made my coffee and sat in the same place again, and started looking outside.

I felt some movement and look up, found Anna giving me the same creepy smile.

“What you want Anna?” as I was not in the mood so I came straight to the point.

“Oh nothing mam I just came to check on you,” She said in one go

She has somewhere started getting on my nerves. Before I say anything I again heard the irritating voice

“Aunt Anny can you please make some coffee my whole body is aching”

 “Why she has to come down all the time”? I look up and she was wearing an extremely short nightdress and I can see lots of marks on her neck, or at least say love bites.

Well, I might not be experienced but it does not mean I am stupid. Romantic novels have given me enough knowledge.

Please make double-shot black coffee for Sean and my expresso I am sure he must be tired too” She said while playing with the belt of her nighty belt. 

“Oh my god, what happened to you on your neck darling,” Anna said in her fake concerned voice.

“Oh come on aunt now don’t tell me you don’t know what it is,” She said while making a shy face.

And that’s it I lost it.

I spoke “Anna thanks for your concern but I am fine you may leave now and next time if see your bloody face in my area, I will take out every plastic that fits in your body nicely. Now get the fucking out of here both of you” I give them killer look and saw them running towards the staircase.

I again look outside “so my dear husband has all-time for the world but he can’t even ask me about my Granny.

As I don’t believe he has any idea about her demise. It must be big headlines in today’s news.

So when I am crying mess he was enjoying this piece of shit. Well but again why this expectation, We have no relation between us.
