why?

She left behind a boy who has just started to utter 'Mama' and who would be searching for her by evening to be fed and to sleep blissfully in the crook of her arms.
She left behind, her long time boyfriend and now husband of 2 years and 8 months with whom she had taken the vow.' for better or for worse, I do' to love, to share, to cry and to grow old with.
She left behind, a good career, family, friends and a lot of questions unanswered.
smart, pretty, gentle and successful.
Mrs. A, my boss's wife left Mr. R a widower at 30 something with a small kid to fight alone.
What could have compelled her to take such an extreme step?
I have known Mr. R for almost 2 years now. Seem to be a good husband. Appreciates her a lot and is a doting father.
We were asked to close down the office for a few days. He couldn't bring out the lines properly, 'My wife expired'
Wouldn't she have liked to answer all the whys, hows, whats of her little one?
why????
If I had a kid, I would have killed but not given up my life.
May her soul rest in peace and may he find strength!

Calvin said...

not wanting to judge people.. but it must have been something drastically huge for her to take such an extreme step.. our prayers are with Mr. R, the kid, and yes, Mrs. A too.

It is really tragic. We never know what is going on underneath those black tresses.

Every "WHY" in world has the answer, but Death is not in any one's control. I Have only one request to death, "Agar, muje chumna hai, tho abhi chumle, not when I have small kid"

Arunima said...

yup, Anamika.I feel the same.

Hima, we are not able to put the question forward right now. heard, she was depressed. over what no one knows. she had stopped working to get married and then started recently after having the kid. yes, but she switched 2-3 jobs in the same number of months. Was last a production manager of a Famed Magazine

I hope she rests in peace, but I'm angry at her selfishness. OK, maybe it was just that she became insane. But there are tens, hundreds, thousands of people every minute who deserve life, yet are dying from accident or disease.

And she takes her gift, and just throws it all away.

Maybe there are extenuating circumstances. I hope so. I'll try to forgive her, and hope her son manages too.
