THE EULOGY

Love just happened between us. It was not a love at first sight. We were together for a long time and during that period it happened. No formal words were spoken, no questions asked, no answers given. It was not long before we decided to tie the knot.

We couldn't keep our eyes off each other. Each day was new to us. We were happy that everything was so monotonous. Nothing ever happened to change the situation. The love between us grew more and more as each day passed. She used to go the office for work, while I worked from home. Even those few hours of separation were too much for us to take. I used to long for her to come back from work as just her presence itself at home, used to fill my heart with joy. The joy of having her in my life.

Then, yesterday, as usual she was leaving home for work and as she always used to, gave me a kiss and whispered in my ear, "Miss me". I missed her while she was gone. She didn't come home at her usual time in the evening. At night I got a call from the police, who told me that, there had been an accident, where a bus had overturned. All the passengers in the bus survived except one. That one was her. But the police were wrong. She was not the only one who died, she had inside her, our baby, who was due in a coupla months' time.

She was the best friend, partner and would've been the best mother, anyone ever desired. She never argued with me ; just gave me her opinions and suggestions and if I acted too uncomfortable while listening to her opinions, she would know where to stop. She would then take me in her arms and cuddle me, would treat me like a baby.
She would never get angry, even though I have been angry at her, have shouted at her. But, she never uttered a single word in return and would just keep her temperament and allow me to cool down. Then she would explain as to why she did / said something which she had and at the end of it all, I would realise that she was correct in saying or doing so.
She was a brave woman. Even while I was paranoid about certain things, she always had the courage to face the boldest of the situations. She pulled me up when I used to be depressed, filled in for all the incompleteness in me. She was always THE ONE in my life and will always be. There can be no other to replace her.

I hope she is happy wherever she is. I know she would be. She used to feel extremely happy when I used to tell her that I miss her, when she was at work. She used to feel happy because she knew that this separation was temporary and that when she returned home, we would have the sweetest of the moments. Moments filled with love. I miss her more than anything now. And to my unborn, " Sorry my little one, I couldn't do anything to stop all this from happening, couldn't bring you to this world........"

Thank You
