Raindrops of Love and Loss
As the rain poured heavily, Lavita found herself seated alone in a quiet corner of her veranda, gazing out at the cascading droplets. Just moments ago, her front yard had been dry, but now, after the torrential downpour, it had transformed into a glistening meadow.
As she watched this swift change, a wave of memories and thoughts flooded through her mind. It was on a rainy day much like this when Lavita had first encountered her beloved husband, Punit, at a bus stop. She had been patiently waiting for a bus when Punit, a friend at that time, had kindly offered his umbrella to shield her from the rain. What began as a simple act of kindness blossomed into a profound connection, and they started meeting more frequently, eventually falling deeply in love. After six beautiful years of courtship, they tied the knot.
Both Lavita and Punit were teachers at a college, sharing not only their profession but also their lives. Two years into their marriage, they were blessed with the arrival of their precious daughter. Lavita's workload increased significantly, prompting her to leave her job and become a dedicated homemaker, nurturing their little family.
With Lavita no longer working, Punit had to shoulder the financial responsibilities on his own. However, his salary proved insufficient to meet the growing needs of the family. Determined to provide for his loved ones, he began offering private tuitions to students from their locality, despite the added strain on his schedule.
Then, one fateful day, as Punit was returning from work during a storm, tragedy struck. A mighty tree collapsed onto his body, snatching him away from Lavita and their daughter, leaving them heartbroken and shattered by the sudden loss.
The heavy rain mirrored Lavita's tears as she sat on the veranda, reminiscing about their journey together – from that first meeting at the bus stop to the happiness and challenges they embraced as a couple and as parents. Though her heart was now heavy with grief, Lavita found solace in the beautiful memories they had created and the love that would forever reside within her. As the rain finally began to subside, she knew that life would never be the same, but she was determined to cherish the legacy of love that Punit had left behind and find the strength to carry on, honoring his memory with every step she took.
