After a lot of indecent turns and tosses and a
few failed attempts at trying to sleep I finally gave up and was out of the
bed. I took few sips of water and decided to watch a movie. I took out all my
dvds. There at the bottom was “city of angels.” I put it in the player. The
print was bad and it got stuck every minute. Like always, I ejected and placed
it back in the drawer. I knew I wouldn’t throw it away. I moved to the
bookcase. I knew which one was I going to pick and I also knew I would just
turn the first two pages and place it back. For it was the first page that
contained his sign and wishes. I opened my wardrobe. They were still there – I
miss u cards, the silver Ganesha, the black stole, chocolate wrappers,
hand-written letters, dried flowers, tissue papers… How could I throw them
away? Each object reminded me of moments I would die to relive. I must have
stared at them long for when I finally managed to shut it, I could see faint
light of morning sun peeping from the window.
