I didn't forget the fiasco of her life. My mom called me, dear lucy come for invocation. I begin my prayer, I ask God will my Grandma come home.


My grandma's life begins with a catastrophe. She was born and at the same time, her father deceased in an accident. Devoid having Lily in his hands. His hands were anathematized. Her mother died of brain tumour, a critical illness when lily was 8. Lily serves forlorn. Her relatives didn't show up any concern to coddle her. Lily questioned herself what makes me live?. She decides to relinquish the niche to not to become a burden to anybody else. She promenades on the boulevards and sleeps, near the trees. Devour if anyone gives if either she sleeps with an empty abdomen. She was now 12 years. In these four years, she faced more sexual abuse than having some proper food and a bed. On gloaming, while she was dozing, she feels that somebody clasp her. She was stared at her. she was an old woman running a sewing shop. She bid her some work to do. Lily was astounded. She abides with her. She pronto learns sewing in a few days. She triumphed the skill of needlework.


      She thought God has some mercy towards her. But God doesn't want to give her right. After all the hurdles she faced, she was entering the married life. Her hubby is righteous she thought. But he has many affairs. How the naive lily might know it. She was dawdling to meet him. They were married on a great day. The old woman expired a few days later. Lily believe her spouse to the standard level. Many say that he is not good adequate for you. But she never hearkens to anyone. They are blessed with two children.


After a few days when Lily returning from the market, she saw the main door got locked. But she listened to some noises from the room. From the window, she saw a lady in the nude along with his husband. After a feud, they applied for divorce. She started staying away from him. Many times she cried for this sin, Which is as deep as the sea. And as vast as mother's love. Her children becoming grown-ups. She makes their existence good by taking sewing as her career. She also started some designing course. Encourage employment opportunities for the needy. Make all the children study.


After a few years, her children expected to marry. She married her son to a poor girl. She thought that the poor girl will be delighted because her son is considerate and breadwinner. And make his wife's life cherish. And daughter to a rich boy so her daughter should not lead her awful life.

       

After a few days her son thought why I haven't married to a rich girl like my sister. And my mom have done it with a dramatic notion. Lily went to her daughter's house she said stop. Her situation becomes stalemate. Her daughter says why you come here. This is my house. What you gave me is nothing. Don't spoil my rich and vibrant life. Go to your pretty son's house. She didn't uttered a word and gone posterior. When going to her son's. Her son said why you return back here from your rich daughter's house. Go there.


      She has no discretion to go anywhere. She went to an old age house. She was forlorn. Before I knew everything.

(Few days back)


For an event of my school I went to an old age home. There I found ghastly a thing. I saw my grandma for the first time. She was decorated with garland at my home. I want to run to her. I am going near her. I asked her name she said, Lily. I enquired why are you here. She said God showed me this way. I asked her to narrate some stories to me. She said me many everyday. One day she narrated me "The last breath". That is the last day for I saw her. I do not forget this mishap. So I came to the stories rehearsed by her are real-life experiences. Grandma will you come home. I miss you.
