Living in Memories It was the first Monday of the month of April and I was laying on my bed with my eyes looking out of the window. I could see the river flowing proudly without any artificial appearance. The hill, crowned with wood, was a beautiful object. Every disposition of the ground was good and I looked at the whole scene, the river, the trees scattered on its banks with delight. This wonderful scene made me remember about my dad. He have chosen this place because of my liking it. I recollected the afternoons I spent with dad on the riverside after he came from military. He is a soldier who is proud of his country. Suddenly, the bell rang and I jumped out of the bed. My mom has gone to the market but I’ve stayed home. When I looked out through the peephole I saw my mother and some men in army uniform. I thought my dad have came back from vacation and I excitedly opened the door. But all my joy vanished when I saw my mom crying beside a coffin. I felt as if the world was breaking around me when I realized my father’s body laying motionless in the coffin. I could not see anything around me as darkness filled my eyes....... The funeral ceremony were done by army officers and I kissed my dad for the one last time. Tears blurred my vision but I was afraid to close.My eyes for the tears will start flowing. I saw the military head officer and with tears in my eyes I went to him and said “I want to be a soldier and serve my country” and this now I’m living in my father’s memories Rana Basheer 9 K നൊച്ചാട് ഹയർ സെക്കണ്ടറി സ്കൂൾ പേരാമ്പ്ര ഉപജില്ല കോഴിക്കോട് അക്ഷരവൃക്ഷം പദ്ധതി, 2020 കഥ
