A visit to the In-laws
This is usually every girls biggest day and so was mine. I was little nervous.
It was around 6 in the evening and it was a little cold…considering that it was summer back then it was very strange…
We parked the vehicle. There was a guy, who was sitting outside and was selling these very beautiful Aurel Flowers. We picked two bag full of them and then walked towards the gate(as the gate was onto the main road we had to park the vehicle a little away).
And while I was walking and thinking how it’d be to meet them.. there was this chill shiver through my legs and it was a little hard for me to walk…I never was in this situation before and its my in-laws……..I stopped ……..for a minute and and looked at him(who is now my husband)…he said “Don’t worry…I’m with you…” and saying that he held my hand…..we opened the gate and started walking inside…
There were not many people around…a couple of workers cleaning the place, picking up the leaves that are falling off from the trees and clearing the walk way….and they stare at you intensely wondering where you will stop……and then …..we did stop when we reached the right place….
There I was holding his hand and standing in the middle of the Cemetery, nervous, tensed and bereaved. I cannot forget that feeling and will never forget that first visit..and yes both my father-in-law and mother-in-law are in the same grave next to each other. We got the surface cleaned and arranged the flowers and spent some time in silence.
May their mighty souls rest in peace…Amen
