Having been a part of our lives for almost 20 years, you
have embarked on a new journey of life today .It is said that humans these days
are more attached to material comforts than other humans and I don’t mind being
a part of the herd in your case. We have been through the life’s journey
together and there is no one in the family who has not traveled in you
When your new owner came looking for dad we dint know he had
come for you. In a few minutes, dad came in and declared that ‘you were ready
to go’ . He had held onto you like
his dear friend. Though he had driven more luxurious ones, we could say he was
too fond of you to let go. He said only one thing after his small ‘talk’ with
the guy- “Today am letting go my Lakshmi”. Don’t know if he feels the same the
day he marries off his daughters
I couldn’t bear to see you being taken away so I went to the
small-house (as we generally call it) on the pretext of ironing the
clothes. All I could hear was the guy trying to bring you to life and
that you wouldn’t budge. After some time I came out only to see the empty space
where you stood . I rushed inside
and told mom that you were gone. She had a smile on her face as she told me
that you were standing outside. I rushed back to check if you were there
and that was when dad asked the keys of access and bro’s Yamaha. By the time I
returned with the keys, dad was not to be seen. I stood near the gate to get
the last glimpse of you and saw the tow vehicle arrive to take you away, afar
from our lives.
Tears started pouring in yet I kept staring at you till I
couldn’t see you anymore. Then dad came and said ‘she’s gone forever’. Inside
the house, mom was looking at you through the kitchen window and as I went in
all she said was- ‘see her going away in pride’. I could just feel the pain she
had.
Now after returning from office, I don’t get to see a grey
Premier Padmini standing near the gate eagerly waiting for the house-mates to
return after their day’s work
You still remain in our hearts today and will be forever. <3 you
