thE timE iS runninG

It was a lame morning when i woke up hearing didi's scream 'Bhai uthe por', i really wished to stay at the sleep-dream-broadcast-channel called "BED", we had to reach at Netazi Shubhash Cancer Research Institute within 10'O clock and the dumb red plastic wall clock was showing it's 8:45 in the morning.

Manik Jethu was ill and did some tests according to the Doctor's reference, and we have found lung cancer which has already spread in liver and other areas. According to the doctor it is the last stage, family has decided not to inform Manik Jethu and hence, all the medical reports came with didi yesterday, so that Manik Jethu dont get a chance to see that huge white plastic full of medical reports.

We rushed into the Cancer Research Institute where Manik Jethu is now admitted, everyone told him he has got terrible pneumonia, and he didn't even know he is in a cancer research institute.

When i entered and came into the waiting area, i saw a pillar and behind that i saw jethi was just sitting by Manik Jethu, and when i saw his face, he looked like a normal man who's not aware of his nearby death and eventually very calm, and there is no sign of tension in his face, i have seen plenty of people in my life who know who's gonna die very soon and as usual they carry their faces with all the sadness and tension at a time.

i was confused what to say, so i offered a shoulder action which symbolize i don't know what, and i gave a red plastic full of those medical reports to Manik jethu's daughter Mam Di, and came outside for a cigarette.

Somewhere, i found this very heart breaking news, but could not realize a normal innocent face of my Jethu will give me this much shock, we really can't even get how the time is running and passing, it is not so easy to think about our own death, but i thought, we never know when we will die, so we usually are normal and calm,

i really hate the way i think sometimes, but its true, see your watch, there is tick tick tick tick.....means time is running, we have spent 4 more seconds of the remaining i-don't-know-seconds.
