Sitting by the corniche on ledge I enjoy the warm summer evening. The sun setting in as it lights up the sky in a orange hue, the fisher men bring in the catch, I am lost in a dreamy world.

I watch a silhoutte of couple and am mesmerised, like me they are lost in the world of their own.

I am taken to another world I am with my hero, he comes on a spaceship and circles around me, am bedazzled as I never expected to see him, he lands few feet away from me,

I stand up and in awe watch him come out the ship, in his hand is a bunch of silver colored flowers he comes straight to me, holds out his hand towards me I reach out for

his hands, I look into his steel eyes but there is warmth as he takes my hand into his palm, my heart beats faster, he says to me "I am come to take you with me"

without any hesitation I am delighted and go with him. He lifts me into the space craft

and gently places me on a couch next to him. He straps the belts and ask's the capitan to take off.

As we are into space I watch the planets and the countless stars, he asks me if I would like to go out there - I say no and that I want to spend time with him and not leave him for a second. I have no idea what the time is as we approach the moon he asks the captain to make a halt.

The spaceship comes to a halt, he asks me to remove the belt and holding me in his arms,

he brings me onto the milky planet............ there are other people there and as they see us coming out, they all come towards us and greet us by bowing their heads, I feel like a queen, we walk through rows of people. In the center of what seemed a hall a lady comes to me and takes me away from him, am bit alarmed but the smiles and asks me to go along with her.

She takes me in and asks me to change into a space gown, I get dressed and come out,

she is not there my super hero is there all decked up. He takes my arm and we along and we walk back to the hall. He surprises me by asking me the long awaited question "he asked if I will marry him" I say yes". He puts a big moon ring on my finger, hold up my chin and give me a peck on my cheek. I am in a trance, my hero, my life finally I am with him.

I reach out to put the ring on his finger..................

a sand storm disturbs us, the sea gets rough, the waves hit against the ledge, I am woken up and find no one and nothing just me alone on the ledge, I hear the police siren warning all the beach goers to head back.

I sigh,

I look around no superhero and up at the sky, no spaceship, no stars, just a dark night, with the wind howling,

I picked up my bag and went away.

One day I met a friend and she told me that she had lost her husband and she was depressed. I said to her -

“I am with you for I lost my husband four and half years back on 12 August 2010”.

It’s been a very lonely life for me for I still cannot figure out what to do without him.

We were happily married for 19 years, and have three lovely children and before that I had courted him for six and half years It’s been a good 25 years that we had been together.

Just last night that I sat and watched his funeral pictures -

Oh my god I said to myself - he looked like as if he was sleeping in a coffin and playing a trick on me I watched the entire slide I sighed and cried bitterly

I felt terrible but I know that I could not do anything for he is gone to never come back to us.

He passed away with a massive heart attack within 15 minutes of the time I left for work that day - that was the last I saw of him. His last kiss on my neck I can still feel it. His embrace and that look in his eyes, I can still see it.

He had a smile on his face, when he died in peace in the ambulance while on the way to the hospital that last I saw of him.

I wasn't with him that moment, but, still cry just thinking that maybe I could have saved him, but alas he is gone to a Peaceful World!

I know he is watching me from up above with every step I take,

I dream of him and feel him at times when I am sad and lonely.

I have turned strong for I have three children and they are my fort.

With his love so strong that keeps us moving yes hoping to meet him one day again!

I miss my husband, my sweetheart, my friend, my everything

If only if it was not for that evil one who was so jealous about us,

who could not bear our togetherness, our love and the love we shared with our children! I hate him and hate this evil that can come to suddenly and from nowhere and just take you away.

He is that evil one who came one day all of sudden and took away my sweetheart, my lover, my friend, my husband.

He was none other than the Angel of Death! Someone so cruel he is so unexpected, so sudden and so uncalled for that there is nothing that anyone can do to stop that evil one from coming to disrupt your peaceful happy life. You may try as much as you want but that evil one when he sets his foot into your lif you are gone forever, and taken to a different world!

Death is an evil winner in his stride!
