Bundle of Joy
You are leading your life desperately but what happened when …
Who I am? Why I am? What I am? No… no… don’t go in deep. It’s enough to start with …
In a small town, I’m living with my endless problems and helpless situations from the years. When I was tired of getting a solution, I accepted the truth. The feeling of being alone is worse than being alone. You might take an interest in knowing how I start my day?
Another sleepless night was over.
I start my day by checking my phone. Spending more time hoping somebody would have called me and messaged me but ending in despair. I know the bitter truth that I’m alone. Nobody cares. In this world nobody is mine…
Before the day moves, I leave for church in the early morning.
To enshrine unfathomable peace in me, I follow this routine without fail.
I was walking on the silent road as if the road was still sleeping. Perhaps she might awaken all night in waiting for someone like me.
I inhaled the morning fresh fragrance to the full capacity of my lungs and moved down the lane.
This road leads to the church. I could hear the ringing bells of the church from this point and felt the calm. But I could also hear the cry. My brain started thinking fast and loaded with uncountable thoughts. I saw around, but nobody was there.
As I was moving down the lane, the sound became louder and clearer, but I could find no one. I engrossed in sound and continued to follow it…
I was perplexed, my breath shortened.
I made a thorough search in the surrounding bushes; when saw a small cartoon, I ran toward it. I felt like my heart stopped beating.
A baby was lying, but crying incessantly.
As the baby was crying, his face became red. I peeped into the cartoon.
Baby saw me with his tiny eyes, started moving his small hands and legs.
I wanted to take him out soon, but stopped and questioned myself first; who had left the baby in this condition? Who were they?
Why are some humans so cruel to this innocent baby???
I perturbed about what to do and what not?
Thoughts started pouring, and I was wrestling with all the coming thoughts in my mind. After churning my thoughts boldly, I grabbed the child and covered him with my shawl.
The baby stopped crying, as he sensed that he is in safe hands now.
I put him on my chest. The baby felt the treasure of my warmth and my deep emotions.
I started melting down in tears. I felt all my suppressed pain, buried deep within me from years and years…, started flowing…
Now the baby was safe, and both hands were full. I experienced deep feelings of completeness.
Twinkling stars of his innocent eyes brought light to my dark universe. I wanted to reach the church fast.
The church bells were ringing loud. It seems like they were celebrating my happiness.
I was not alone! Yes, I was not alone now. God showered his love.
God gifted me with a bundle of joy.
Bearing thousands of dreams in my eyes and holding a bundle of joy in my hands, I started moving…
Bundle, joy, alone, peace, church, bells, dreams, humans, cruel, God,
love, life
