Death, stood outside the IT firm with
a smile in his face, then looked back, to see her face. To a surprise to him
she still has that calm subtle smile on her face.
Now Death becomes a little bit confused.
“How can she be so affect-less now? After all she knows her husband is going to
die in minutes and her kids are going to be alone on Earth”
It was almost 1 year back Death was
ready for the first time to take her husband’s life. Death took her to his
place two years before that. Death was impressed by her behavior after death, she
was so composed and dedicated even after death, never complained or worried about anything that in
their place or on Earth. She kept her presence always nice.
So when one year before Death went
to take her husband’s life, informed her that she would be soon join by her
husband. She gently asked for a favor by Death, and Death agreed to that. And
because of that Death hasn’t succeeded in bringing her husband to Death’s place
yet, but Death is very sure that he is going to do that today. Her husband is
going to be so happy today, he has done the project work good, presented it
well, going to get promoted, got his loan and his daughter has got admission
for medical already. So, he has to be happy.
That was her request; only take her
husband’s life when he is happy for more than 1 minute. But for the past 1 year
it never happened, but today he will be overjoyed of his achievements when he comes
out of his office. He is now in his office to take his promotion letter. And
Death is waiting for him outside the firm, and Death brings the lady so that
she could see how Death is going to win; Now this is a prestige issue for
Death.
Ten minutes passed, her husband came
out, his face was dark with sorrow and anger, murmuring words like he lost
everything, Actually he is not happy
with the way his boss congratulated him. Just that, that made him a complete
loser and he is gloomy now. He looked devastated.
Death looked at his wife with embarrassment,
she still has that smile. And then she whispered “If he could be happy for a
moment I wouldn’t have with you (Death) now”
