THE UNCERTAINITY OF
LIFE
I really really wanted to have an ice
cream,I was craving for it.My husband has just returned home after a hard day’s
work and I did not want to bother him.But he sensed that I was wanting something
and talked me out into divulging it to him and when I told him,he was up on his
feet to get me what I wanted.He has taken special care of me since the news of
my pregnancy.Both of us are elated and eagerly awaiting the birth of our first
child.3 more months and we would be blessed with a beautiful and healthy
child.I hope that he looks like his father,the person I love the most and have
loved for the past seven years.It wasn’t easy for us to convince our parents to
get us married as we belonged to different communities but v were adamant and
ultimately they had to give in.The memories of our wedding day flood my mind
when the phone rings.I reach for the phone and see that it is a call from my
husband.I wonder that he must be calling to as me which flavor I wanted to
have.I take the call and an unrecognizable voice speaks on the other end,”your
husband has had an accident,he died on the spot.We are taking him to the city
hospital.”
And I could not believe what I had
heard.I tried to register it all in my mind as tears flowed down my face.my
happiness,my love,my husband,the father of my child, my life had benn stolen
away from me and I could not brin him back by any means.as I dropped down to
the floor I felt as if someone had stabbed me right in my heart.And yes I
wanted to die ,to go to the grave with him,I wanted it all to end ,my life had
ended,my existence had ended…………..
But it does not.Life does not end
with the loss of a person or thing.It goes on and we are forced to live it
without that person.Easy or difficult but we continue to go ahead with our
life,wake up each day and sleep each night,eat and work.Nothing stops
,everything goes on as it should be.
But how much can we trust our life or
for that matter the lives of our near and dear ones.With so many young people
having heart attacks,increasing accidents and natural calamities ,the life of a
person is nothing but left to chance and luck.It is a gamble and people can
place bets on whether I will be living tomorrow or not.
I do not know what happens next with
me,whether I land up in a hospital or at d gates of the lord begging mercy for
my sins or life just goes on as routine.It is this unertainity which keeps us
on our toes,which makes life exciting and thrilling but on the other side of
it,it is this uncertainity which when strikes can devastate those close to us
,can bring about a major change in their lives and force them to alter the
course of their being.
We cannot do away with this but we
can try to make what little days we have happy and beautiful for ourselves and
those around ud.Live our life to have no regrets,take calculated risks and
bring smiles on the faces of people around us.Take each day as it comes nd try
to make it memorable,do all that we love to do and love our life.This is only
what is in our hands as the uncertainity always lingers on anything and
everything we do and we have no choice but to keep living with the uncertainity
of our life…….
