Z to A in 26 Days – Nov 15th – N is for Neonate

I showed the mobile to her, “dear, I love you so much. I wanted to live with you forever. Now I am dying… Will you…” she read that half-typed message of Riti’s. I with tears said, “Oh my God what a fool I am, I didn’t even feel her love for the past eighteen years… I am a fool,” I repeatedly mumbled these words. I saw my contact image embedded with the words, “I love you, I am mad on you…” I opened the drafts folder and found many-saved messages addressed to me, most of them expressing how much she missed me and loved me… This made me shed tears like a waterfall, “How much she loved me, I am stupid, fool, idiot”, I also saw her photo that she took wearing the saree I gifted her for last birthday. I opened her diary and read the poems she wrote for me. I couldn’t control myself, and that is when Isha came near to me, hugged me and said, “Riti will be with you forever in your thoughts. I don’t have any issues for that, I hope we will have a wonderful life,” she sounded little upset, I hugged her little tightly and said, “I miss Riti, my Mom and everything I had in my life. Now I can’t afford to miss you, I want to live with you forever.” I don’t know why I uttered those words but I feel that she is destined for me. Like a neonate, I wished to start my life with Isha.
