A page from the book that is life........
This June it will be three years, three years of life without her. Three years of struggle to survive. I never thought I could exist in a world that does not have her. Sitting now besides my window, when I look outside, I see thousands of stars, I try to find just one face but I can't, I know everyone say purvi move on let go, but how, how to let go, I don't know, I am torn, my heart is torn in two, one part want to give up, it does not want to struggle, it bleeds for the loss but the second one, wants to fight back, to live for my family, to live for those who loves me. I am torn.
I still remember in vivid details as if that day is playing in Technicolor in front of me. I still remember ......
People say watch it before you open your mouth to speak, for one spoken word can never be taken back, now I realize how true those people are, how true, each words out of my mouth slice me now, I regret every moment of that day when I lost the meaning of my life when I lost my world, when I lost my life, my Mother
"How could you do this to me, how could u lied to me ??? "
"Pari baby listen , I beg you listen once, please "
Tears were falling down her face but I did not care, all I cared about the lie she spurned around me, I hated her in that moment, how can you hate your own mother, who gave you nothing but love. How can you not see the tears of the one person's eye who mean a lot to you. But no , I could, for the selfish person I am, I could, and I hate myself for that, I hate every freaking second of my life but still I cannot have her back, regret is all I have now.
She came towards me to soothe me, to take me in her arms.
"don't! Just don't touch me, I hate you mumma, I hate you, why did you lie to me. You took away my family from me..... "
"Am I nothing to you pari, I love you baby just once listen, I did not wanted to lose you, I could not lose you"
"No! No mom you did it because you...you wanted to have everything. I..I can't believe .I..I..how could you Mumma...how could you ?"
"Please baby, just once try to understand, just once" she was crying like a kid, but me, I felt no remorse, I felt nothing, I felt empty, I didnot wanted to be in that place for even a second.
" I am going away mom, away from you, I am going back to my dad."
I moved away and took few steps, she was begging me to stop but I did not, all I said was " you will never see my face again!!! Ever" and I left.....
All day I thrashed like a animal, throwing everything I could see, my friend Hussain tried to reason with me but all I did was curse, just curse, I called my dad and told him I am coming back, and book a flight for me, even he tried to calm me but I was gone too far... Just too far... I told him "papa! Book a flight or ill sleep at the airport, I am not going back there, I am warning you, book or ill find my way to come back".
They booked a flight for me and I left within two hours, Hussain was with me all the time, it wasn't his fault I was walking time bomb, ready to blast, we reached airport and I took my luggage out, I was about to go in when.... I heard my name ...... But....
All I heard was scream, sound of glass break, screech of tires, I don't even know when I turned, but there were people gathered all around something, I couldn't go there ...I..."I can't go there , Hussain...Hussain," blood was trailing around the feets of people standing there, everything was red, few people moved and all I heard a scream, I tried to search for the source and realized it was my own. She was lying there, I could not make out what colour her dress was.Dark Red was everywhere , I don't even know when I dropped to my knees... I don't even know who called ambulance, but they came and took her... On a stretcher, fully covered, only her hand was visible, and blood was dripping, trailing from her forearm to her palm then her finger...and drop.....everything went black......................
When I opened my eyes, I was told we lost her, but didn't I already knew that before ?, I wished it all to be a nightmare but wishes can never be granted, so weren't mine. I closed my eyes and pleaded to god to take me away too. I lost her....I lost her forever.... I felt as if destiny was laughing at me, saying "you wanted this, you told her she will never see your face again, and it happened, even while going she could not see your face". She did what I asked her to, she left me before I could.
From that day till now I see her die everyday, everyday as I close my eyes, I live that one moment, this is my punishment for being a selfish daughter, this is my punishment for turning away from her, this is my punishment for abandoning her.....
I still remember the twinkling of her eyes, the way her face would light up seeing me, the way she would smile. She loved rain, I used to ask her, Mumma why you like rain so much and she would say "pri feel the drops on your face, when I will not be here, stretch your hands and welcome them. You will feel I am hugging you," I never thought that day will come so soon, I never thought I would beg for rain to come. I feel her when drops caress my face...I feel her around me..... Many say, why are you hurting yourself purvika, your mother wherever she is will be upset seeing you this miserable. Hussain says, your mother is sleeping, she is resting, till the final day. But I have spent days and days wanting know can she see me, can she feel me. But everything makes me more and more desperate....
Today, I am struggling to breathe, battling, fighting against fate, racing against time, for my family. For those who loves me, and wants me back....
My dad doesn't know that I know, he doesn't know that I have heard what they were talking, I plaster a smile on my face when he is around, for he don't know that I know, for he don't know that I heard what doctor said, there is risk, not just after surgery but risk while too... For my heart may or maynot bare. For my heart is more weak now...... For I may not make it........
I have promised a lot of people to come back, but will I really be able to keep my promise I dont know , if I can't make it back.... Please you four people.... Yes you four.... Each one of you know am talking about you...... Please forgive me for not keeping my promise..... And always keep me in your heart..........

Frosty...
No matter what, you here. In me.
No matter what, ill always be here for you
No matter what, you'll always be a part of me
No matter what
I know, I just hope
For you to come back
I await that day
That day when we'll really meet
Two souls bound in a cobweb of fate
Everything that's happened
It's all so crazy
The way we are
They way have been
I cannot look at myself
Without my mirror
Love you Frosty
You will be back
You have to.
As the tears silently fall down my face now
I'm screaming within
Cursing at destiny
Cursing effing June
I've lost enough
Now no more
No more
you cant leave ussssssssssssss :(:(
I grab my book and hunch my shoulders as much as I can without breaking my back. My main goal today, is not being seen. Across the yard a group of loud adults stands, consisting of aunts and grandmas, lead by my own mother. Not far away, my cousins and siblings lounge on the lawn, chatting, sharing exaggerated stories, and texting on cell phones. None of which I feel the need to join in, and even if I did, I wouldn't be welcomed. Confused, I glance around the yard, then I realize it, all the men and most of the boys are inside watching football, or doing some other manly thing. With one last look, I sneak away from the clearing, and escape into the trees. On a day like this, they're my only friends. A contented smile warms my face as I approach a very familiar tree, one that feels like family to me. Its limbs are slouched with wear of the years of wind and rain. It's bark is greyed from the years of drought. Most of all, it's warmed with the lingering thoughts of thankful children spending refuge in the worn, but strong branches. Once in my own spot, I pull out my book. It's one of my favorites, Moon Over Manifest, a book that you can lose yourself in, block out the world and wash away your own troubles and cares. I lean against the rough bark and open to page one. This is yet another special memory, spending time with my family, reading in the lap of my own Grandpa Tree.
@#14, it is NOT my entry.. jus' saying.

FamilyFamily is there for you when all others fail.
If one can not receive support from their family, then whom can they receive it from?
Without family the greatest man would stumble and fall,
Never to regain his dignity from the pits.
Family is what we need to survive through hard times and rough storms.
Family is what we need to patch us up when we fall and get hurt.
Family is what we need to save us from the long, dark road.
A family needs a good mother and father to hold it together.
A grandmother to spoil and grandfather to teach the old ways.
An aunt and uncle to spend time with, a cousin to be with.
A sibling to make mischief with and keep from harm.
With family we will never be alone or lost.
With family we will never stray from the good and be lost to the bad.
With family we will always be loved, no matter our sins.
With family we will always have a home to return to, no matter how long we have been gone for.
Family is the building blocks of our society and without them it would crumble and fall into dust and ruins.

Remember the day you were born Tiny little eyes on tiny little face
Twinkling and red.
She holds you keeping in mind
First the neck and then body.
She fed, cared and embraced you
Forgetting every pain from which she went through.
Looking at you sleeping happy
She cry and wonder she call you.
Remember the day you were born
Tiny little eyes on tiny little face
Twinkling and red.
He is scared to hold you, afraid to drop you
But your magnet pull attracts him
Next you in arms, he wanders here and there.
Teaching you, "this is a dog" and "that is a fan"
Being sad when you sleep.
Thinking about your future, school, collage and carrier .
He holds you and weep.
Remember the day you were born
Tiny little eyes on tiny little face
Twinkling and red.
You were stranger to them
And they make you own .
At five, you thought they know everything,
Sixteen said, they don’t know anything,
Twenty five, you ask something,
Thirty five, you have no time to ask anything,
And sixty five, made you sad,
And wish you had them.

On to more pleasant subjects though!
You guys are the most depressing jerks I've come across. Your writing. Jeez. I love it.
Another reason we took so long is because Fang and I had a hard time deciding between y'all. Really, really great writing here.
Without further ado though, our winners.
Numey has won our contest for this month with Heartbeats, and bonds with Time. - One, and only One. We really loved it. Congratulations Numey. We'll contact you with the details for your prize.
In second place, and very touching, was Dreams Nitemare with Liberation.
Again, it was tougher than ever to choose the winners, so congratulations to all our entrants!
The the.. o.O
Congratulations, Numey!! :D
Thanks you XD AND to you too :D
Gah. Mine was so depressing. Yours is beautiful. :)
I dunno, I don't think everyone could understand mine, because it was sort of abstract XD
