Shattered and lost he walked amidst the crowd of strangers. It's been two years since he smiled or was seen happy. Last when he smiled was on her birth day. Since she left, his life's happiness and light has been snatched away from him and he was pushed into a dark evil valley where one sees different forms of cruelty. He was confused and is still confused on the way life has slapped him. He cursed himself for being the less fortunate and wished her life's all happiness. She left or fate took her away. There wasn't a single person who knew where his wife was. He digs himself deeper and deeper into solitude and found solace in her memories.
He, Kabir Jaiswal for the world was a tough rich handsome business man, but inside he was a shattered lost soul. Two years before he went for a business meeting outside the nation, his return journey marked an unforgettable day in his life. Each step he took that laid back a mark of remembrance. He opened the doors of his house expecting to see his wife jump in with joy seeing him. But all he saw was total isolation and endless silence.
There was no one to receive him, all deserted and lonely. No one was around. A note near the table said him where his family went. A sigh of relief he gave but then suddenly his eyes fell on the bottom line of the note "Aditi will be there".
So Aditi hasn't gone with rest of them, so where is she, he wondered. The whole house he swept in but all searches went in vain. He couldn't find her. May be she went outside he thought. Hours and hours he consoled himself, finally when he lost his patience he left in search of her. Whole day of tiresome made me worn out and weak. He felt could no more make a step forward. So he subdued himself and since then never did he come out.
Now two years passed by, he was living his life like a machine does, his tears dried up and emotions evaporated but somewhere deep in his heart lays a feeble hope of meeting his beloved. Closing all doors of his heart he masked a face of coldness and walks around with an air of aristocratic pride not letting people like him or appreciates him.
His world was Aditi but she is no more with him, his world is no more with him and he is no more there for himself.
