Malaysian Airlines MH370

Thermonuclear astrophysics , time travel , black holes : these words are so damn fascinating. We endeavor to unleash the abstruse secrets of the unseen. But still we are so paralyzed against the natural forces. There are uncountable number of examples where we have been proven just as equivalent to a toddler trying catch the stars. The simple truth is he cant. Latest archetype being Malaysian airlines MH370. Can you believe, we failed badly finding a plane of colossal dimensions on our home planet. Well i am a very negligible entity where countries like China and USA are involved. But let me take you to the mind of two people : one sitting in that plane and the other in Malaysia waiting eagerly for any news.
 THE ONE BOARDING THE PLANE :- That night he did not sleep or rather he was not able to sleep. Because every time he covered the eye with the super-cilium , the same anticipation came rushing to his brain which opened the way for a new estuary to flow down his cheeks. "Who will take care of my mother. I must not leave her. But then where will the money come from . How will i pay for the operation." He got up from the bed to assure if his mother was in sleep or not. He kept standing there for a while. She was the person who devoted her entire life to him. Being a single parent the burden was double. Now the estuary has turned into a flooding river. He sat near the feet of his mother , lowered his head and took hold of her heavenly feet . He closed his eyes. He did not know exactly when the sleep embraced him. Just resting your head on a mothers feet can do such a charm. It was time to leave now. He still dint want to go. The same age old war between heart and mind , logic and love. But here logic has to overcome love. " passengers boarding the plane MH370 report at the check-in " . His heart beat was thrust-ed by the release of adrenaline . He was putting an increased effort to breath normally, pleading his eyes to wait for few more seconds before letting it go. It was very hard for him to take hold of that document briefcase now. He put on his goggles for some cover. But lost to the human-ness . Just as he turned away from his mother he broke up. But succeeded in his promise of not shedding tears in front of his mother. His mind was continuously presenting facts and the result of this action to calm the heart and it succeeded also. Its very easy to falsify your heart. Just after two hours of flight , an emergency announcement was made " passengers are requested to put on their oxygen masks and seat belt . The plane has encountered some problem ". His worst fear flooded his mind. Will i be able to see my mother again. How will she pay for the medicine. Who will take her to the doctor. Will he be able to sleep in her lap again. There was nothing he can do now. He took a paper and wrote something on it and put it in his pocket. The pilot himself came to announce this time " its over now. No possibility left for safe landing. We have to crash land the plane in Indian ocean." you know what is it like to be informed that you are gonna die. Your complete life flashes in your head in seconds. Every thing you did , everyone you love. He was not sad because it was over. He was sad for the helplessness of his mother. She would not be able to hear this news. The time came. Blue Waters was everywhere. The impact was so hard for everyone but for him it was nothing. He knew the wait to meet his mother will not be very long. Every part of the plane broke into pieces. There was that piece of paper also floating , written on that " please don't skip your medicines mom , your son " . The man knew that paper will not reach up-to his mother and it didn't.
 HIS MOTHER :- Frightened by the very cogitation of living without her son , that night was very hard for her to pass. She was just changing positions from right to left to right. There was no one by her side to share the pain. She just wanted to embrace him as she did when he first took his breath in the world. She heard something in the corridor and closed her eyes swiftly. It was her son standing there at the door. After a while he came close and sat near her feet. It was very hard to control now. She covered her face with one hand as in sleep. He slept after some time in that very position. She did not sleep the whole night as to accidentally wake up his son. She stood at the entry looking at her child. Thinking of stopping him " son please don't go ". But knew it would just make things worst. So she controlled emotions which were forcing to hug her child till eternity. " passengers boarding the plane MH370 report at the check-in ". Her blood pressure was at peak though it was very bad for her health. But the promise of not crying in front of each other was barring her. She knew his son was also putting efforts to do the same. She broke up as he turned , came down to her knees. She knew he would not turn now. The salty water made way through the face and down to the soil. But before this drop of tear touched the ground the angels around her and in the heaven dropped their tears and it touched the ground before hers in the form of rain. They knew what the future was. BREAKING NEWS - MH370 went off the radar. Just as this news flashed . The white angel of death knocked on her door. Its harshly painful to loose someone dear . But imagine the condition of people who still don't know where their loved ones are. Someone's brother ,someone's son ,someone's father ,someone's friend. We can just pray to the lord to give them patience.

The Guy Who Made The Angels Wait..

The last bullet entered his flesh, finally meeting her sisters and the disciplined blood ooze out to felicitate their meeting. The uniform was rejoicing the divine bathing. This uniform made the angles and their heaven wait for so long and finally God getting ready for the meeting with the brave. The man of steel tried to make paradise wait further but the the limitations of human body exceeds his soul's strength. He is one of the few individuals who cry while going to the heaven. His last words entitle him with the word martyr, he asked the mother land for apology for his short tenure of service. After filling the hell, angles get the honor of taking his soul to the paradise. At his funeral his coffin gets wrapped with the tricolor, the spokes aligned in such a direction that it seems they have joined the saluting regime. The sound of the salute firing seems so melodious as if the armory is singing the good bye song. After few days his mother receives his belongings , the first privileged thing is his uniform as it gets the opportunity to feel those hands which have nourished the steel body . The dam of strength breaks apart which  hold gallons of tears. She noticed the cap and feels it, it was like the hairs of her son which she used to comb. The badges and medals reminds her of his school days. Then she spends hours talking to him, understanding his feelings through a window named diary. The sentence "I love you mom" serves as a mirror of his love . The great soul resting in God's lap seeing this gets restless and asks God to send him to wipe her tears. But God explains the laws of nature to him. The mother sits with her eyes closed so that she can close the window of nostalgia. The only reward she gets is the title of martyr's mother in exchange of both red and transparent fluid.
