Kashmir

It’s a way of life it seems …one life ends the other redimes..

He was still her age, and little they did know about fate’s major game.

Studied in school, and then out of college were falling in love with not just the climate

He did know her, but knew little about her dad

A Colonel in the Army was still enough to scare you apart…

He was popular for little gimmicks with terrorists apart,

And a President Medal was still stuck upon his wall….

Living with the highs if the Kashmir valley,

They didn’t realize this love was going to come down so heavy…

Her dad was not aware, and it was all fine … but the moment of truth didn’t suffice

 He tried to persuade, pressure and even bribe their love… but nothing gave in to this

Beautiful trust….

So, She was one day summoned to office to show her the real truth ….

The truth was never known, until he was also declared a terrorist on-roll….

She broke away like fire from ice, never knew he could do this for any price

He knew something was going wrong, for now he got arrested for something so small

They kept him under wraps for months, till then she was told he had done using her….

Disappointed she left for her London school, and still awaits the misery intold…

He was back, and he was still looking for some clue…someone told him of what her

father had done……

He brought it up to face with this father, and in a duel begged him for his daughter

He refused say the name of her drool, and even refused to un-tag his terrorist role…..

He begged to let his family go, and on one condition that she may never be told…

Then revenge took over the plate of the armour , and soon enough he was never to be heard off..

It was just two years to this tragedy that the same colonel was found murdered in his house alley….

Declared a terrorist attack, without a spot of bother… no one ever really knew the reason for this horror.

And when everyone was flying, with 24 bullet salute did the colonel die…and his only daughter came back to cry….

He left her a old note on his desk, saying things he never meant….

Dated 5 years back, but never posted to her address,

Love and care and a note of apologies for all that was forgotten…

Now, it all became clear and also the reason for this frame…..

She wrote a final letter addressing her once lost lover, for the last time…

Asking for apologies to his grandmom’s address…..

And knew there was almost no response left….

But there was another twist in the tale, as she got a reply …within some days

This letter had a writing which was familiar…..

It was the letter, she had hoped she never got..

As he wanted to apologize for her dad’s murder

and asked for anew start….cause it was an even “bark”….

She went to his father's old  home

Just to meet him...just to tell him.. this once and for all

“I am sorry for what happened with you and your family,

I have seen the shadow pass away, from his heart….”

I loved you for all that you were not him; I loved you for what you were….

Now I am here to tell you, that your effort was a waste of time, as my father didn’t hate

You all this time….

There was a reason, and He told me he had been threatened for my security….by some

People of your very own family, they asked him to become the devil !!!

When he was just father just trying to protect his lil daughter…

Thinking about

 the life, that could have been if we had understood his pain,

 in the end, we all  had our our anger and rage,

But my father was the loser, even when he was not to blame

Now the time is lost, and the blame is bought…

So before I say goodbye I just wanted to clear his name of your bad thoughts

 When the next time you try and blame

 Always remember, Its all about the prospective that you claim…..”
