          So Alisha was cooking in kitchen,she was so lost in thoughts that forgot to watch clock.It was just about time to serve their dinner.She turned because she was hoping that Tony must be sat on dinner table by now.But when she turned it was shocking.Tony was not there.She began to call him.But he didn't come.She was so confused just few hours ago.Tony came into kitchen to make many sort of plans and he was so excited about it all.Alisha was so confused.Tony was just in their room.She was hearing all that voices which he was making while packing.Then she remembered for few time.She didn't heard his voice so she ran to bedroom.Then she saw that Tony was fallen on ground.She was so shocked.She tried to move him.She screamed.But he was not waking up.She ran out of her house and she began to call for help.Their neighbours came running from all flats.There was big crowd in their flat now.Then she finally heard that some one was about to call Doctor when some one said that Tony was dead.She began to scream that it was not possible.Her Tony was perfect few hours ago.She was not ready to accept it.She was just crying and couldn't stop her tears.Finally Doctor came and announced that Tony was dead.Then she just sat quietly beside his body.She was watching it for last time.Many people came near her and tried to console her but she felt nothing.She just sat their.Her kids were called.She saw that her kids came with her grand children.She cried once again when she saw them.But she could feel that her sorrows were not over.She just didn't know that how did she manage her life without Tony because her life was revolved around Tony.
         For some days kids stayed there with Alisha.But they couldn't stay with her permanently. They came in Alisha's room.Alisha was still wearing a suitable dress for widow.She was just observing around.Her son"Mom we are going back to our home."Alisha just looked them.In Alisha's heart she no longer felt that sorrow which used to feel when her children used to go back home earlier.She was just lost in her thoughts about Tony.She was remembering every moment.She was no more interested in any thing else.But they were talking to her so she had to answer.She just nodded.Her daughter "Mom do you want to stay with us?I mean instead of living alone here.You can join us."Alisha"No.I will stay here.You can go now.You must join your jobs."Alisha saw that her children were not happy with her answer.Her daughter-in-law"Mom you can at least come for some days.""No.I am okay."Alisha knew that her daughter-in-law saw upset about her attitude.But she couldn't help it.She didn't want to change her home now.They all tried to convince her.But it proved useless.So finally they went away.Alisha felt so relieved when they left.She wanted to be alone. After saying this she just kept looking at some unknown point and they tired to convince her for long time.But Alisha just kept ignoring.Finally they went away and Alisha was left alone with her memories of Tony.Then after that day she decided to spend whole time in thinking about Tony.It was making her depress.But in her view her whole life was finished without Tony.Her phone always kept ringing.But she didn't care.She just picked it up and tried to keep her conversation as short as possible.At first her children used to phone her weekly.But then she noticed that after some time it turned into daily.Even her daughter-in-law started insisting on her to visit them.Until now her daughter-in-law never showed much interest in those visits. Alisha just didn't understand her attitude.Then one day suddenly her friends called her.Nita "Alisha we have organized a charity function.Why don't you come?""No.Nita I don't want to.""Come on, it is six months after Tony's death and still you are not going anywhere it is just charity function not any fancy....""I just don't want to come.""Then when do you decided to attend functions?"Nita asked this with strange determination.Alisha was confused.She never thought that way.Alisha "May be after one year?""My god it is to long.""I have decided that way.""Okay.But after one year you must come."
         Alisha thought that this matter was closed.But thing didn't turn out that way.Next day Nita came to meet her.Aisha hated to Nita there.Nita literally screamed with shock after seeing her house.Nita"Alisha why don't you burn those light?Why are you staying in dark like this?"Alisha was so confused. She didn't notice any changes in house until now. She suddenly remembered once her maid mentioned the darkness but she ignored it.Alisha"I like this way.""You like to stay without light!!I don't remember your that type of choice until now.""I told you.I prefer this."There was strange anger in her words.That Nita decided to keep quiet.She thought that if she act this way.Nita would leave her alone.But that didn't happened her friends kept coming to meet her.She hated to see them.Alisha who was always most talkative in all friends suddenly started to be left alone.But still her friends kept coming.One day Alisha was so upset by all this that she straightway told them not to come.But after that her children phoned her.Slowly she began to hate their phone calls so she stopped picking up that phone.She just pulled out that plug.She just sat in her room in darkness with dreams of Tony.She even told her maid that she didn't need her.Since she was alone now.She could manage.One day her door bell rang.She thought that it must be some of her friends so she decided to ignore it.She just kept sitting in room.When she heard small voices of her grandchildren.They were calling her.Until now doing their last visit,they were never came near her much because they were crying due to death of Tony.This time their voices forced her to enter back to their world.They hugged her.Then she saw that her daughter and daughter-in-law stood behind.
       Her daughter "Mom we need to take you for routine check up.""I don't want to go.I am fine.""But after what happen with Papa.We can't take that risk."Her daughter-in-law"Come on.We are not taking you to some function.It is just visit to Doctor and you said that after year you will going out and year is completed."Alisha was blow up with anger when she understood her daughter-in-law was spying on her."You were spying on me?How dare you act like that just leave my home!!"Her daughter "Mom are you out of your mind?How could you speak like that?She was not spying on you.In fact she phoned you many times out of concern when you didn't pick up the phone.She was forced to ask Nita auntie and she told us every thing.Mom why are you doing this?Why did you told all friends not to visit you?"Alisha started crying."Because I wanted to be alone."Her daughter-in-law was also crying now.Alisha apologized to her.Then her grand children who were observing this, spoke "Grammy please go to Doctor we need you."When she looked at their faces,she had to agree so she finally went out of that house.She hated it but they forced her.Then they took her to Doctor.First they did her physical check up.Then Doctor told them that she must go to psychiatrist.Alisha hated that idea.But she was once again forced to go.They took her to Psychiatrist who talked to her in friendly way.Slowly she told every part of her sorrow to him.He listened to her with kind heart.Then he told them"She is from Adjustment Disorder due to which she is leading to depression.It is common disorder when person suffer from post traumatic stress like sudden death of loved one.There is grieving process for about a year after that some person adjust with life but some people will go in depression and can't able to cope it.I suggest that you should take her to visit your homes.""We tried to convince her but she is not ready."Psychiatrist" Why don't you come here for some time and take her to places?She loved her grandchildren.""But we don't live her.""Then take her with you until you are here.Slowly she will start showing interest.Then she may like to come with you."It seemed impossible to them.But still they agreed.Then they started taking her out every day with children.At beginning she didn't show any interest but children forced her to show interest.Then finally their vacation was over.They were returning back.They were tense regarding Alisha but they had to go away.They phoned Alisha's friends to come out and continued with visits.But after some months when they phoned Alisha. They received first shock when she first decided to visit them.She agreed to visit her daughter and she stayed longer than planned.Then she visited her son.Even there she enjoyed every thing.Then finally she bought that same tickets of tours for her which she planned with Tony.But this time she took all her family with her.She smiled and cried at same time.In her thought she felt that Doctor was right.Tony must had wished same way because his grand children had some of him in every one.One had eyes like him.One had hairs like him so when they were together.She felt that Tony was watching with her and enjoying everything.She was happy once again in life.
