She was sitting in the office trying to hide her grief behind an unconvincing smile, wishing people a happy new year. People poured in her office to wish her a very happy new year, her eyes welled up in tears and she blinked faster to prevent them from showing. Wondering at futility of wishing happiness for someone she thought , how elusive it was.
Questioning the ways of the world, questioning the ways of God ,she sat staring at the walls thinking why was she chosen to go through the worst crisis of her life alone and vulnerable on this day when the whole world celebrated the coming new year……………..what was her mistake and if not why was she suffering………….
Her office has run short of space for keeping the bouquets and her table is filled with diaries and calendars, her mobile has not stopped ringing, her inbox Is full of messages……………..her outbox contains just one message and every time her mobile rings she hurriedly picks it up expecting ………………may be he would wish her too, ………………….and again someone walks in and salutes and wishes her and again she puts on her façade , façade of happiness…………
