That night was quite difficult for Leena as her beloved mother was about to die. Last 10-12 days everybody in the family was worried. Her mother was suffering from Cancer which was detected at the last stage. Doctor had given answer that anything can happen any time. It was quite difficult time for both Leena and her father. Last 12 days, many visited their house to see her mother who was in coma. Most of them had come first time to see her mother when they came to know about her Cancer. And yes, those days were last days of her mother. Leena was under a shock since the cancer was detected but she had to hide the pain through which her heart was passing. She used to keep her face either expressionless when anybody ask her about her mother's health as she did not want anybody should pity her.

Now the night had come. They thought that since her breathing has stopped means she passed away. But doctor said that it cann't be confirmed until a vain in the brain stop vibrating completely. She had seen the reality of our life that how a human body decay slowly. Doctors are used to such deaths but when it comes to death of our beloved person it is heart breaking. That night Leena, her father and two more relatives were waiting..........it was so painful..........but there was no alternative. After every 10 mins they had to check the nerve in the brain by touching it. At last around 3.00 a.m. in the morning it stopped. Everybody confirmed calmly. They decided not to give trouble to doctor in such an early morning. They waited till 5.30 a.m. Leena called the doctor and informed him that "She is dead".

When her mothers deadbody was carried from her home she couldn't cry. She was just looking at her mothers deadbody with cold eyes. It was actually a shock for her which she thought she had controlled. After a year, when she was abroad for her studies, she realised that though she was looking outwordly in peace but inside she was really in pieces.
