The sunset

"The sky dusked and the shadows got long and hard"

I don't know for how long I stood there in front of my dad. He was lying peacefully, it looked he was sleeps and will wake as soon as I will call him daddy get up and he will open his eyes and say 'my princess woke me up from my sleep' like he used to tell everytime when I used to wake up. But he won't.

My heart was not willing to accept the fact that my mind already knew.

I remember someone took me inside the house where my mother and other women were there.

My mother embraced me and I buried my face in her lap, I could no longer hold my tears and cried for long time untill I became unconscious.

When in regained my conscious I saw my mom holding me to her comforting me, though she was going through lot of emotional trauma herself. My mother know what my father was to me and she was scared that I may not be able to bear the sudden trauma I had.

After a long time my mother said, Sia eat something but I was not having the appetite. Sia your father will feel sad if he see that his little princess is not eating. Eat so that your father will be sleep peacefully knowing that his princess will take care of herself in his absence.

After hearing this from my mother I ate, because even though he was no more I won't do anything that will upset him.

It was our ritual that after sunset funeral should not done, hence my father's funeral would take place next day. No one from my family slept that night, every one was sitting near my father.

Next morning I remember priest came and rituals were taking place, after a bath me my mother and my brother were called to have a look at my father for one last time, pay tributes and our final good byes.

We need to stay in my uncle Cary's house for 13 days because as per our rituals untill 13 days we should not leave the place where our father's body was kept. Some sort of rituals would take place every day and our presence was required. On the second day all my cousins who stayed in different cities came and they tried their best to distract me from the sorrow and they were pretty sucessful too.
