She came...

She came...jumped up & down with joy..he had looked at her and smiled today...she looked at the watch and wished it was school again...ate her food quickly and did whole lot of things, slept, cleaned her room, did homework, watched TV...but she still was thinking about his smile...waiting...for the next day...

She came...slouched on the couch for a moment & looked around...he had strewn away stuffs all around...he never did place anything at its own place...she frowned...she got up to pick up the stuff...then she went to cook dinner...tired after that she sat down to watch TV before he came...she never got any thing to herself...Maybe some day he will change...May be some day he will love me...waiting...

She came...she rolled her eyes...her son has left cold food he cooked for her again on the table...what is the need she thought..He had insisted in the morning...he was already working so hard...he doesn't need to cook too..she ate the food silently and looked at the watch...stood up after a while & went to make his favorite pasta...he might like the surprise...she was tired after that but still cleared his study table to find an invitation card lying there...today was his best friend's birth day party... she left the card there & covered the food...waiting...

She came.. the house was silent...switched the TV on thinking she always gets to watch it alone...but atleast there is a voice of another human being around the house...She looked at the watch and smiled...her grandchildren will call in another 10 minutes...they always did on saturday..atleast her son still made them call her and she could hear his laughter in the background sometimes..she again looked at the watch...waiting..

She came...slowly till the garden and sat on her favourite garden chair...she still loved the breeze after the doctor told her she needed to sit indoors seeing her condition and age...she only wanted one thing now..she looked at the old rusted gate and waited to hear familiar footsteps everyday...no noise...only wind blowing...waiting...

She came...wrapped and framed in a new photoframe...life size...she was smiling...looking vaguely at someone...she hung there...the wait was over...
