Inspirational: Memories
Another inspirational story since the last time I wrote about Murder and End of A Broken Dream.
The wind was howling madly as he walked past the plots of graveyard. It was past midnight and the moon was covered by the dark clouds. It's been sometime since he has been here. "How about 14 years ago?" he thought to himself.
The sight of burying someone is freshly etched in his mind. 14 years, it has been a long time since then. He wondered, what difference would there have been if she was still around. Would his life be better than the present? Would he be who he is today?
His mind was in a whirl from what has been happening in his life. It seems that he has been plagued by a curse, wherever he goes. His relationship with his wife and children has been deteriorating since ages and was on the blink of destruction. There were threats about divorce and separation, but none has made the move yet. He wondered, why? His career was marred by setbacks after setbacks. His friends and social circle began leaving him alone ever since then.
He wondered and pondered, who is to blame for this? The only person he can think of was himself. If he had study harder and focus on his career, he would have made it big. If only he didn't had a out-of-wedlock marriage, he would not have destroyed another person's future and be her burden. If only, he wasn't an asshole towards his friends and relatives, he would had company and love from others. Now as he walked towards the tomb of the one he cherish most, he wondered... "What went wrong along the way?".
Upon reaching the tomb, there was overgrown weeds all over the place. He thought, "When was the last time I visited her?" He started to pluck the weeds and tidied the tomb. As he worked his way, he thought of the fond memories that they had spent together before 14 years ago. The trips to Perth, the care, the concern, the love and the protection. He regretted not giving her the amount of love, care, concern and protection. He regretted not being about to honour her name.
It took an hour to tidy the tomb to an acceptable standard. He was drenched in perspiration. He sat by the tomb and took out his cigarettes. He lit two sticks and placed one of them on the tomb. He knew that she smoked too. But he guess that she didn't know that he would eventually. He started to talk to her about how his life has been for the past 14 years. The joys, the sorrows and eventually reaching to the present day.
He missed her and loved her. He yearn for her touch again and her smell. Her smile that radiates like a sunshine. If he had the chance, he would like to see her again. But he knows, one day he will... but will today be that day?
He is tired of his life of failures and few successes. His presence seems to be a burden for many people in his life. He thought that his presence was meant to benefit others... however whenever something happy happens, it will spiral downwards to hurt and sorrow due to his actions. He wondered, why?
As he grew more and more tired, he laid at the side of the tomb to rest. He didn't expect to wake up to see the light again. However, he felt the peace and calmness that he have not felt since she left. He felt as though she was beside him now. What a feeling, he thought... what a feeling... As he slowly drifted into a long long time to rest by her side again.
He spoke out his last words, "Mommy, I love you too..."
