chapter 16

Kavita turned on the radio and a beautiful melody of lata Mangeshkar came from it. Kavita starts humming the song and then starts doing her work.  Slowly she is entirely engrossed in the work while humming the song playing on the radio.  In no time he emptied the whole cupboard and put the clothes on the bed. After vacating the cupboard she uses a broom to clean it and then she changes the plastic sheet that was placed on the shelf of the cupboard. After cleaning the almirah she started sorting the clothes from the pile of clothes on the bed. She was doing her work but then suddenly her eyes fell on something buried in that stack of clothes.She took it out to take a proper look at it. It is a plastic bag that has something in it. She opened it and pulled the item outside. When she looks at the item that she takes out from the bag, a big ear-to-ear smile appears on her face.  with great pleasure, she slowly began to turn its pages.It is her and Prakash's wedding album. Kavita softly turns the pages of it and starts glancing at the photos on that album. She is looking at them so passionately like she is trying to revive all those moments and all those wonderful memories.  She looked at all those photos in which both of them were looking very gorgeous in their wedding dress. Everyone was very happy at that time like them. Unhurriedly and lovingly she turns the page one by one and soon the whole album is over, but for her, it is as if the journey of her past has begun to start floating in front of her eyes. Some sour and sweet memories  of her and Prakash, their love-filled arguments, love, quarrels, laughs, and cries, everything....... everything  starts flashing in her mind one by one. And a  lovely smile is all left on her face.Instead of coming out from all those beautiful memories, she remembers something. She hurriedly got up and started looking for something inside the heap of clothes. In no time she found what she is looking for. It's a file comprising the most precious thing in her life.  Kavita opened it emotionally and start turning its pages one by one with great love. It's a collection of handwritten letters, a very precious possession of hers. She starts reading those letters with wet eyes and a smiley face.
