A Last Night with My Grandpa
One day, I walked into my room and was shocked to see darkness all over as, when I had left for my tuitions, I had switched on all the lights. I understood that the lights had gone as it was raining very heavily outside and also there was a huge storm in the afternoon.
I somehow managed to go to the kitchen to lit the candles. After sometime, I found them and I lit them. I went to my room and was shocked to see a long thin man sitting on my bed. I became afraid and asked who's there ? The man looked at me and it was my grandpa. He told me that he came to know from my grandma that today my mother and father had gone to Delhi for some work and do he came to look after me. I told him that why he took so much trouble to come here in such a rainy and stormy weather. He just smiled at me and told me that I'm very late today. I saw the clock. It was 10:00pm. I told him that today I had two tuitions.
While returning from tuitions, I bought some food with the money my father gave me in the morning. After we had completed our dinner, we went to my bedroom to sleep. It was still raining outside. I told my grandpa to tell some stories. He told me different types of stories and I felt very drowsy. I slept on his lap.
Next morning, I woke up with the ringing of the phone. I received it and it was a call from my mother and I was startled to listen that my grandpa had made his way to heaven last night. Suddenly to my colourful world, came painful obscurity. I became very sad. I ran to my room my in search of grandpa as I thought that they were joking with me. But, I found him no where. Then I thought, it might be a dream but, suddenly I noticed grandpa's umbrella and coat. I felt very nervous and words struck into my throat. Is it possible ? I asked to my myself.
Till now, I can't understand what really happened that night.
But, I always pray for my grandpa that wherever he is, is very fine .
I miss you grandpa!!!!!
