Tears of Memories:

She stared outside the car window and found that the sight was getting blurred slowly, she thought for a moment may be it was raining outside. She opened up the window glass to look outside, still finding blurred images moving in front of her; it was only when the droplets fell on her hands did she realize that there were tears in her eyes… It was not the rain outside but the raining emotions in her heart that was giving her the hazy images.


As she started her car, her heart was still heavy with loads of memories that she was leaving behind this place. This was her last day in office and soon she will fly abroad to accompany her husband there…


She was part of this company right after she finished her college; she had made many friends, had wonderful colleagues and also had a huge guidance from her seniors. It was both a learning ground and fun place to be in…
The days started with a good morning mail exchanges with her friends, status call of the project, assignment of task, googling to finish them and waiting for the lunchtime, At lunchtime usual playing of pranks, deciding on Birthday parties, planning next trip points and time flew by… back to work and an occasional informal chat with a colleague or an argument ending up on a treat, made the workplace so vibrant ….Evening sunsets and coffee and musings about life.. Then back home after a fulfilling day at work…. Could you ask for anything more from life?


In short she had the best of her years in this place and today was the last she was going to drive this road… As she went to parking lot, and took her seat, she could not start her car and everything that she experienced till now played in her mind and she knew that she will miss all this very much… She suddenly felt that she will never again be able to relive those moments even if she came back…. Because things are bound to change and she cannot control that… May be , that’s life, Time just flies by and changes come into our lives even before we realize it and we have to just accept it and keep moving ahead. She now managed to convince herself that this was the end of it all… and she has to perhaps look for a new beginning somewhere else and will always cherish the time here… She drove back home.


Her eyes were still glistening with tears that were uncontrollable till she reached home. Her Mom read the expression and understood the feelings and did not question her on anything… They had a quite dinner and then finally when they were about to go to bed, Her Mom asked her to stay back. They were soon watching one of their favorite movies. She slowly sneaked into her Mom’s lap and gave way to all the emotions, and her mom only said… “You are not losing anything here, you will carry with all these as memories and they will always remain as fresh as you see them today, you just have to rewind your mind and everything will be back to you. Life is a process of creating newer memories everyday for us and that’s the reason we live to make a new beginning always because life does not end till we die and even after we die we still live by being in someone’s memories”
That night she slept peacefully…and the night remained with her always…….
