I lie awake on the bed. I experienced the calmness that filled the room. Somehow this had been the day I recalled my past. I felt the linen cloth that wrapped me. I held on to it tight as I felt the raging storm within me. The beginning was just beautiful. The beauty that first crossed my eyes, the kiss that passionately touched my forehead and the warmth of an angel's love that helped me stay alive. I called this angel "Mom"-the reason that I stated as why I came here. She has often told me she couldn't take it alone as she owed me as a prayer of the man she immensely loved. I too loved him and he was worth it all. Dad - often had that nature of being loved by all who knew him. Towers, monsters, pests and most loving brothers, they identified themselves to my life. We grew up as litters left to our world. Nothing changed in 14 years or even more.Sooner each of us marked our ways reaching places that dreamed an imagination that was just so perfect. Perfection mastered by the creator, I truly adored. Life had its own surprises. Sometimes it showed a lifetime full of happiness or drained life out for the sorrows. There seems like nothing I wanted to remember now for the pleasure of life is all I expressed. I had less to cry any longer as the times of a broken heart, friendship and relationships had zoomed past. I wished to stay wake this night. I feared somewhere that tomorrow was a new beginning, a new one that I always waited.I scanned across the room and there he lay half asleep. He had woken up to me the last few hours holding my hand and smiling. I wondered if it was a sign of hope or just the fact that I constantly told him that I loved his smile. But whatever it was, I felt the beat of his love. The day he looked across to me, I got carried away into a world that was completely ours. The ironic feeling had to be when just a day seemed as long as a century in knowing him, and when just a day seemed shorter to be with him. Time struck us through this journey where every second was equivalent to living a lifetime. And it kept me wondering whether it was because I knew time was short or because love had that secret ingredient implanted in it. Life spoke words, meanings and expressions of love, togetherness and companionship. We could walk the waves or feel the heat of the coal with a smile for by then we knew God had control. I pained to realize that everything passed. We saw the blessings of this life grow into big dreams destined to touch the life of millions. We saw them complain, cry aloud for all the attention, laughing and bonding. They were our pride always. We had given our lives to them.Suddenly his face grew faint. A loud beep ran across the room. I then, heard the voice that I loved hearing. The voice that often sung to me, the voice that threw into fits of laughter and cry, the voice that I waited upon and never ceased to love. Rushing into the room came, the same image that described to have held me in the beginning. She caught my hand and I let go. My heart, soul and mind froze that moment and I breathed alas.
