Oh! Life has become so difficult in the wake of the lock-down. How many days have passed now but I can't understand anything. I am upset sitting in my balcony with a cup of tea. Everything looks different. It seems like they are testing us how long could we cope up and live with this dreaded situation. everything seems new.
This years old fire tree just in front of my balcony with bright red flowers, although it attracts my mind, but corona, makes it look like full of blood. The red color now disturbs my mind. But the problem is now that nothing else is even visible from where I am sitting right now.
There is silence all around. Whom should I talk to? Even without thinking for a moment I asked the flame tree, "How are you brother"
I was not surprised listening to him maybe he was as board as me since no one came and sat on the bench lying underneath him.
"Hey what should I be doing, I am perfectly fine, just a little bit unhappy. A girl that used to come to visit me every day, talked to me and even watered me, is no more today. This Corona has taken her away from me. She is not among all of us."
"Oh, I am so sorry to hear that but why are you so sorry for her and how did you know her?
"She came to me one day and said can I come to you every day?
"Oh, Can I do something for you?" I sympathized with the flame tree.
"Oh yes, but what can you do for me?" The flame tree said.
I can sit with you for as long as you want me to. See I am also alone and missing all my friends and relatives that have left this world due to this disease.
