THE SUDDEN DEMISE

...And she passed away peacefully yet suddenly, after her tedious stay in this life.  When she breathed her last, my mom and I were there, reciting 'SURAH YASEEN' in front of her, she still cries whenever she remembers it! My family and I will always remember her. I still continue to crave for Nani maa’s love as all of mine are no more. Whenever anyone talks about their grand maternal parents; it hurts to know that someone you deeply love ceases to exist.

           My Nani maa was slow to think and do other things, but yet so fast to cry and love. Children (their pota poti) would irritate her to the maximum, yet she bore everything with great patience. I have never seen anyone else being so patient.

            We were shocked when she left us. It was much unexpected. Sometimes I wish I’d known this some way and I could have spent more time with her. But it was heart breaking all the same. I wish I hadn’t had to go to university but everyone was very sympathizing there as well.

            Her laughter still rings in my ears. Her cute little round belly shook as she laughed. Her tall tales and non-stop chit-chatting makes her an unforgettable memory. Oh! How I wish she were here with me. How I wish I could cuddle her like a teddy-bear. Her tears, her laughter and her stories will always remain as the deepest shadows in my life. But alas, nani maa always showered me and Farah (the childhood friend & a cousin of mine) with her blessings “Allah tum donon ki joori salamat rakhay” as these were her last words of our last meeting and to go on ahead in life, strong and determined, never to be defeated.

            I have learnt many things after the death of my beloved Nani jaan. First of all is life is so short and will never give you a chance when you'll be at the last breath. Show your love and care to those whom you don’t want to lose. No one can remember you after death but your good deeds and behavior will remain alive in everybody’s heart!

            In the end, I want u people to read fatiha for her isaal-e-sawab.

MAY ALLAH REST HER SOUL IN PEACE.  AMEEN.
