A phone call ringed and I answered the call. After hearing the news I was totally shattered. She was 10 years old, I didn't even stayed with her for long time. Her childhood went in waiting for me. Still we were happy with our innumerable smiles. Yes she is my daughter! And today my dad said she is found positive for corona. I'm her single parent. I lost my love in an accident. I raised my child and I saw many dreams for her..
But as world got in danger in the threats of corona. I have to stand with everyone as I'm a Doctor! Before it gets severe I dropped my girl near her grandparents and assured her safety. I worked in hospitals for 24×7 I hardly communicated with my family whenever I got the time. I missed them so much and I was always tensed. like other mothers even I wanted to take care of my girl but I was helpless because many eyes were looking up to me with securing hopes. Daily I saw people dieing in the wards. Cases increasing and we are getting more stressed and extra alert. Many dead bodies didn't even had their closed one to take them for their funeral. Kids lose their parents. Somewhere families roots got broken. Relationships got destroyed. Everyone losed their close ones. And today my heart got cracked when it came to my own daughter. If a mother gets weak ofcourse a doctor will lose the battle so I stayed strong and worked for everyone. In few days my dad called me and I felt like dieing there itself because I lost my girl. I don't even got the chance to meet her last, forget about meeting not a peaceful conversation with my daughter. Only the last words I remember, she asked me that where all this is going to end and when you will come back! And I replied that, I'll be back soon take care. The condition was so devastating for me. My tears were not ready to stop. I felt like a failure because I didn't saved my child. My child waited for me I didn't went to her. I missed her last smile, the warmth of her hug, her innocent face,my only lifeline. I felt completely collapsed as she was my last hope to live. I was crying in the corner cursing myself. Meanwhile a lady came to me thanking that I saved her child. The happiness in the eyes of mother made me feel light because I not only saved that child but a mother. Till a moment new patients were into the hospital and I have to attend them immediately. My body was not able to support me. My hands started vibrating, my mind stopped to work for a while. Losing my daughter made me too weak. It felt like someone took my life away. But at the end of the day I have to settle my emotions as corona cases got a huge increase in its number..
I remember my daughter was always proud about me. And I have to show her that her mom is not best but a promising doctor and she will fight.
- Doctor.
