LIFE : A LOVE TRIANGLE

LIFE : A LOVE TRIANGLE
Beautiful days of life, no matter how much you get of them, always seems less and end soon. The day Amilia met George was one of her fondest memories, a day that started with simple worries of rent, bill payments and her job but ended well. She ran into George at her visit to Bank and he asked her out for dinner, her answer was yes.

Both of them had a lot in common, they liked and kept seeing each other, fell in love, became an important part of each other's lives. Amilia loved and cared for him so much, something that was missing from her life got completed by being with George.

Three good years of their lives passed, three happy years indeed. Being with him, she got changed, more sensitive and long lasting relationship with him was what she was looking forward to.

Later in mid of their third year together , they got engaged and married at the end of that year, with high hopes for upcoming happiness and adventures in their life. Their marriage was a happy occasion with their families and friends. 

As they took each other as husband and wife, Amilia knew it was one of the happiest moments of her life so long till now.

They made great money together, with time passing by, they thought of having a baby. Exciting it was to have and even think about a little addition in their family. They started trying and after few months with a successful effort they made it. They were warm and excited about their baby and it was part of their almost all afternoon, midnight conversations. 

Amilia took off from work due to her nauseous situation. She started to shop for their baby that was not yet actually with them but was her part and she always felt she knew how he would be like, she was his mother ----- happy to have him, mother.

Life has a property called temporary, every grief goes away one day when its time to go comes same is with happiness, a gift that came in packaging with its expiry date hidden from its reciever.

Unfortunately, She had to keep her baby with her for six months only and gave birth to a premature baby who was too sensitive to be hosted by this world and left them.

A setback, a woman can never recover fully from, her part growing inside her body and a permanent part of her heart left her with scar on her soul. She stayed in bed for countless days with all her energy drained. George stayed by her side all the time and managed to convince her to get out of the house.

In next few appointments with doctor, after getting counselled, they decided to try again, they hadn't had to wait long and they were blessed again. Both of them were very careful this time. Even with another baby in her body, she had same feelings about what they lost.

Every cloud has silver lining, she and George were more close and connected at another level than they ever were, their suffering made them each other's constant and even more beloved . This time, it all stayed together and they made it uptill nine whole months. But Life gives surprises and they are neither good nor bad ones every time.

The day she gave birth to Emma, George left her in a traffic accident while on his way to hospital, she could not even meet him after Emma's birth, her life was startled, her heart stopped for some time, at least she felt it , world stopped where it was.

Only thing she could think about was his husband, she still kinda hoped he will come out of some room smiling at her. She almost forgot about anything and anybody else, about Emma too. Her mother, Elizabeth, looked after both of them, tried to counsel Amilia but nothing could get her out of disbelief and her detachment with Emma.

Days, weeks, months passed by, Amilia's grief stayed like first day with added hollowness in her soul.

 One ne day when picking up newspaper at their door , Amilia saw a little boy walking in hallway holding her mother's hand. A wave of anxiety rushed into her heart, she stared at little boy and felt tears filling her eyes and silence filling her heart. Whole day she thought about her feelings at that moment, some guilt was adding pain into this.

She went to hallway for next few days more often and saw that same boy few times, she knew that something was killing her inside, but she could not find courage to show her feelings neither to her mother nor emma which was three months old now. Next day she got to had  handshake with that boy, she grabbed and hugged him for no reason and started crying.

Elizabeth took Amilia into the Apartment, hugged her. She knew the reason of her outburst, before asking anything she holded Emma to her, Amilia looked at her mother, "she knew about my guilt", Amilia thought. Elizabeth patted her back and left her Alone with Emma.

She was kissing Emma all over, holding her near to her heart with intentions to never let her go with her guilt and grief of her  separation from her daughter coming out of her eyes, in her sobs. Elizabeth saw this reunion with wet eyes, she was relieved .

Putting Emma for her nap in cot, Amilia looked up to picture of smiling George hanging on front wall, she smiled back and looked at sleeping Emma. She knew  her husband was  with her,  in form of Emma, as a part of love they shared, which touched her soul, will stay with her forever.

A gush of peace was rushing into her heart, opening doors of gratitude with a new perspective to look up to and live a worth living life. God heals life's sufferings with planning indeed and it takes time and patience.
