Nimmi.. a person I came across in my life. She is my close friend and was an ex-colleague at my present company. She moved to another company to grow her carrier. Well, she is of my same age somewhat, has a younger brother who is now studying and got a semester to complete. Her mother is a working lady, as far as I have heard she works in a hospital.
Today just like the other days, I get dressed up in my best dress to office. Trying to look good and the next day is our team outing. All is going good and fair. I reach my office and move to one of my friend's bay. I have a couple of gossips and chat. My friends ask out for a treat as I am likely to get performance bonus. I agree and walkaway to my cube. Tis 9:45am and I move to my bay to take up work.
I reach my seat and just as I have a stable position, my friend Lijo from behind tells me ,
"Da... Nimmi's father is no more...."
" what!! but how??", I am shocked
"He had a heart attack.. not much details clear to us..This was told to Kannan".
I sit there shocked and trying to realize what is really happening, to realize the truth that my dear Nimmi is facing a loss. The loss she suffered was her father. Her moral support and her idol.
The day goes by and I plan to get to Nimmi by evening along with Lijo and another colleague of us. We leave the office at 5pm and reach her house by 6:30pm. There, I meet Nimmi after couple of months.
Her eyes with tired eyes of weeping. She was not in her best dress. She was lost in a world of brutal reality that she has lost her father. Her mother was laying on bed in the bedroom which was visible from the place we were sitting. Nimmi asked whether we would like to talk to her. We refused, rather we suggested her to take rest. After few minutes we hear Nimmi's mom crying badly. I don't have words to explain that. I just wished to run out of there somehow but I wanted to console Nimmi. I wanted to talk to her personally which I couldn't do. We returned back.
All the way back I just asked myself, "What wrong hath she done, the person so innocent I knew to be, that she hath to take this loss?"
There is only one universal truth, "It is God's will to giveth and taketh life... We are born with a purpose, when our purpose is served then tis of no more importance..."
