She was looking at me straight into the eyes, and I could really feel the sadness in her voice and I swear, there was something in her voice and I swear, there was something in those lovely yet lonely eyes… She got up and smiled at me, lovingly. “Tomorrow morning, please come and visit me, my family” she said and gave me a piece of white linen paper. I read what was written and when I looked up, she was gone. The following day, Christmas, I woke up early and excitedly readied myself,thinking of her. There was a lovely snowfall out there. I hurriedly went to flower shop and bought a dozen pink roses – for Piya. They lived in an exclusive subdivision. Upon reaching their house, I told the guard who I was and that I was looking for Piya. The guard stared at me, sadness and amazement in his eyes and told me to wait as he called the owner of the house. As I looked at him while he was going inside the house, only then I noticed that the house was brightly lit. A woman went out and walked towards me, smiling sadly. “Hi, I’m Jyoti, Piya’s mother. Please come inside, Vansh.” While we were walking towards the mansion, she explained to me why she knew me very well – Piya had always been talking about her friend, Vansh. I hardly understood what she was saying. I was busy thinking why Piya’s mother was crying while talking to me????? ♥
