Promise

Lord ! I would end up being late again today.....only if this useless alarm worked properly, or maybe it was just that I woke up late..ahhhh what a life...Nothing ever works out for me..

But the dream that I saw was surely something, rather than a dream it would be more appropriate to call it a memory from three years ago and still its so vivid inside me . I walked up to my mirror and god, my face, it looked terrible. Warm tears kept filling my eyes...I guess I was crying all night not noticing it myself.

Of course every time I dreamt about it...I end up waking up with tears in my eyes.

....It is memory of my mother's last words and the promise I made to her. Ever since I was young my mother was the only one who always remained by my side . Though my dad was there too he was always busy with business tour and its only once in a blue moon that I get to see him. So the relation between me and my father was poor actually really poor, though he loved my mother with all his heart.

So my mother was the one who looked after me all my life . She was always right there for me....but everything ended so suddenly. My mother came to know that she was suffering from lung cancer and hid it from me and my dad.

She suffered all alone until she grew weaker and weaker everyday . I saw her suffering everyday still I was able to do nothing that would lessen her pain...even when I was right by her side.

Gradually we came to know about her disease but it too late to save her. During that time she had remain in the hospital with checkups and dosage and every single day I had to watch my mother screaming in the middle of the night that she ended up being afraid to sleep at all. My heart felt like someone was tearing it apart with all their might.

At that time she spared her last words for me, she said " Kara dear, I always wished to be by your side so that you won't end up being lonely.... every time I had to bear this pain your innocent smile comforted me . But now the time has come for me to leave....but before that happens just promise this one thing, no matter what happens hold on to your smile and when the time comes you will find this special someone who will love you for who you are.....so until then please keep on living, promise me , won't you?"

And because of the promise that I made to her that day...I still live on ......
