Beneath His Breath

Love knows no boundaries, but when it's not true, It's a destruction for both....... Sorrow and pain is life, as believed by Iva, She is a self attained girl, a lady of her own... He loved her until he got off with his terms - Iva's lover c*m husband, Rick. Tears and loud... MR. Roger is no more. He was not well for the past few weeks, as he had heart related issues. And at late night, yesterday, he met a cardiac arrest and passed away. All their close friends and family assembled to pay him their last tribute. Iva.. Mom, where you have been so long? I thought you went back home. All are their at the graveyard to say the last good bye to Roger uncle. Are you not willing to attain? I asked silently. Yes, Iva.. Coming in a while. Ok, Mom. Come fast... I saw a middle aged man, with light brown eyes, crew cut hairstyle, resembling of being in Army, stood in front, trying to hide himself from me. I gave him a short glance and went ahead. It was the time, every ritual of the funeral went fine, I asked my mom. Mom, who was that man, standing beside you when i came to call you? Is he someone whom I know? She replied, with a yes, and said, Iva you know Rick? He is his father. Mom, I don't know them. I replied. They are our family friends dear. Mr. Adam is an official. He always stays out of the state that is why, you haven't seen him often. You would be familiar with Rick's mother Mrs. Paisley, She is also well established at her farm. Oh, now I get it mom... We reached home, at past 11 at night, had some food and slept. Iva, darling wake up. It's past 10 morning girl, have your breakfast, it's on the table. Okay Mom, coming in a while, I replied from the washroom. I went up to the dining table, having a cup of tea in one hand and a fork in the other. And suddenly, my eyes went on a letter. Iva, You know where is your dad? I haven't seen him from the morning... His phone is switch off, nor did he leave any message... I am worried now. She called me... Mom, Mom... I called her. What happened Iva? Is something wrong? She rushed towards me hurriedly, scared at the same time. I handed her the letter which was left on the table. She read " Rachel, I know this letter will torn your heart, but I am left with no choices. I just was there for our Iva, now that she is grown up and can take care of you both, I think it's time for me to leave. I have left anything behind for you all... I hope you two remain happy in your lives. Take care of yourself and Iva. Good Bye". With tears falling down her cheeks, I assumed something went wrong. She torn the paper into small sizes and threw it outside. Wiped her tears and said, Nothing Iva, It's just that you can't make a person fall in love, nor can you stop anyone from leaving you..... You have to stand for yourself, for your living and fate. What is meant to be will happen. I didn't had any idea what was happening. Though never attained, I knew that my dad had an affair. He never loved Mom. It was all because of me that they stayed together. And now that I am a little grown up, can take care of the family and mom, he left us. But he left us for whom? No dad you shouldn't have done this... You shouldn't. Love is blind, it knows no boundaries, no age nor relationships... All went dark in a pinch over. 18 years of a marriage had no importance. And that made me self reliant and developed crude harsh feelings for my dad. My mom, wasn't able to bear my expenses, my school fees and our daily meets, so she decided to shift me to an orphanage. Darling, don't be sad, We will surely meet at the earliest. I am searching for a good job, whenever I get settled or will be earning a handsome amount of money, I will bring you back home. Don't cry Iva. We will stay together, just give me some time, I will makeup everything. With this, she left....... I was left alone, No one to talk to, to share my feelings with, To laugh with... I was shattered, day after day from inside. Days kept passing........
