Prayer

The water in the lake used to be blue in colour when I used to come to the lakeside with her. The lake always gave me a sense of peace and joy. But now I see the water has turned brown in colour full of dust and dirt. My thoughts are automatically redirected to her because of all the memories we made right here.  I was standing all alone on a friday evening tired of my work. My driver, wanting to go home himself, started honking, indicating me to sit in the car again. I sat back in my black coloured Jaguar. We arrived at the main road. It was a busy evening, I was getting calls every minute, making me increasingly irritated and frustrated. I received a call, an important one, which made my busy evening take a horrific turn. I rushed to the hospital after I answered the call.
                               An old doctor walked to me and explained to me about the complete accident. It was her in the ICU. I sat down in the lobby. There was a god's idol in a corner. A little girl was praying, probably for her father's life. It was her who had belief in god. I never had belief on god.After the miserable incident of my friend's death I lost belief in god. I never went to temples.
But that day I began to stare at the idol and began to express my thoughts."She was the one who loved me better than anyone could. Her smile is the most elegant smile I have ever seen. Her smile could even heal the deepest sorrow in my life. She knows me better than I know myself. Those long walks with her in the park, those late night talks were the most memorable moments in my life. She has a very beautiful world full of love and full of happiness. She promised me that she would never leave my hand. But I broke the promise. The passion towards earning money made me lose her. I never wanted to lose her but I ignored her , shouted at her, got angry with her. I couldn't even spare time to go for a walk with her. She never complained, instead she walked alone on the lakeside. She didn't disturb me after some days. I was so occupied that I couldn't even realize this. Processionally, I became very successful. Little did I know success doesn't guarantee happiness. That moment when she needed me I was not there for her. This moment when I realized that life would be impossible without her, I don't know whether she would be there for me or not. All these days I just survived I never lived. There was no love in my life all these days." I heard my phone ringing, I just dropped it and  went near the idol and prayed to god for the first time in my life for her.I prayed with everything I had. After some time the same old doctor came out of the ICU and was walking towards me. As he was approaching me my heart beat was going up, he slowly removed his surgical mask and said "The patient is ......................."


I won't tell you because I don't want to change your opinion about god.
