Last train for the night!

She opened her eyes slowly and to her surprise she found herself sitting in the corner quietly on a train filled to its capacity of people still struggling trying to enter eagerly. Confused in a corner she looked right around to find some sort of a familiar face to help her get atleast one answer but sadly due everyone else on board hustling with such pace she unfortunately ended up staying in her seat with no new found ease and still so much unanswered questions which kept her far away from finding any peace. Finally the train whistle blew and the doors closed instantly causing all the passengers to leave their chaos aside & taking whatever available seats. The train moved faster than lightening but the ride itself was as smooth as silk, then out of nowhere appeared an elegant lady well dressed in what appeared to be her uniform handing out drinks out of thin air to the plentiful mix of panicking and peaceful passengers.......then when the thought to be hostess approached shy Sanj in her corner, she smiled at her and said would like a glass of milk? Sanj smiled back and said “thank you but I haven’t any money to pay you” the hostess giggled, snapped her fingers and the waiter’s tray she was holding suddenly disappeared. She then magically made the one glass of milk she was left holding turn in two and she handed one to Sanj, as she said to her “it’s okay, cheers, we will share.” Sanj managed to let out one her special “Sandy smiles“ which without any doubt definitely caught the train’s waitress eyes as they both began exchanging introductions. “Hi, I’m Sandra” ,  “hi, I’m Anne” and after a few small shy sips of what was a wonderful cup of warm milk, Anne then asked Sanj “you’re scared aren’t you, it’s okay there’s no need to fear, you’re safe here and once we get there you’ll be so happy, you wouldn’t have any care” This which was said to comfort the somewhat loss Sanj left her in tears leading her to ask that one question she didn’t dare. ”Am I .......?” Those were the only words Sanj could get out till Anne stopped her before saying “there‘s no such thing as those things here my dear, but do take a good look around and you’ll see this train isn’t going forward my friend, it’s going upwards”. Hearing those words Sanj eyes caught a hold of the closest window to her comfortable little corner where she saw the soaring height of train and with each passing cloud she passed by she put up a little less of a fight and lost a lil more of fright. Then came the first stop for the train that turned a lot of the passengers insane when without any warning the train’s door started opening and people started falling. This continued throughout all the other stops, each stop leaving the train all the more emptier. Finally, an announcement was made “all passengers left are to be upgraded to first class” and with one blink of her eyes Sanj found herself there sipping some holy water of wine in what she thought to be the most beautiful glass. She was no longer in a corner surrounded by strangers but she was now in her own cabinet being visited one by one by friendly and familiar faces life had force her to become estranged with. Sanj was greeted with all her long lost loved ones from her friendly neighbour, to her sisterly friend, to cousin, her uncles, her never-met-before mother in law and father-in-law to finally the one she was waiting for to walk through her red door her very own mother, who she immediately hugged like she did no other. ”Ma” Sanj cried as her mother wiped her eyes and smiled. They held on to each other till the  silence broke and her mother spoke “Sanj I know you have a lot of questions and I know you’re as happy to see me as I am to see you too but I also know you’re worried about everybody, probably even angry to leave the rest of your friends and family.......it’s okay you can feel all that you want to feel but please just listen to me. There comes a time when we enter the train of thought concerning this illusion of time that takes over our mind until life is ready for us to hop aboard another train, this last one that flies faster and higher than any other rocket or plane.......for us to go where we meant to be, so are you ready?” Her mother put out her hand in front of Sanj who just couldn’t understand. Sanj was listening to everything her Mother was saying but she was also hearing her daughter crying “Ma, where you? Ma, come for me na? Ma, I missing you! Ma, come for me na? Ma, i need you! Ma, come for me na? Ma, how can you leave me here?” This broke Sanj’s heart as much as her daughter’s heart was breaking causing Sanj, herself to breakdown in front of her own Mother. She said “Ma, I do love you more than you know, but I can’t leave my daughter!” Sanj mother held her down and lifted her head up, looking straight into those innocent eyes and said in the most humblest and gentlest of tones Sanj has ever heard “I know babygirl, it hurts, you didn’t think it hurt me too on my train ride when I was hearing you? Sanj, I had to let go because it’s wasn’t time for you too, dont you want to see what you’re daughter is capable of doing, all that she, herself can do, that’s what I wanted with you and believe me my baby you made so very proud. Don’t worry Sandy even if things get bad, whenever my granddaughter gets to sad I’ll teach you a trick I do whenever anybody ever got you mad and you’ll be glad. If you trust that the “love between a Mother & a daughter is forever“ like my granddaughter boasts it’s the truest truth you ever taught her then you’ll leave her physically and have faith in your bond with her that you’ll never be apart emotionally or mentally“ Sanj smiled and said ”I know she has had a lot of failure Ma but she has my strength deep inside her and no matter what anyone thinks I know she‘s my warrior!” Sanj then stood up the same time train came to an abrupt stop and stepped out walking out to the golden gates that opened up. Hand in hand with her Mother she walked from cloud to cloud watching down on her daughter every step of the way till her Mother said “I’m going to make you your favorite dinner, I’ll leave you here and you’ll come find me after you’ve met our creator“ Sanj was left speechless as well as anxious and she started plucking away at each and every star she could reach making much too much soo much wishes for her family; her husband, her big son and her baby daughter as she continuously watched down on them all the whole time wherever they were till eventually the moon came in too soon and blocked her view. But before she could get furious she found herself noticing all she had yet to notice surrounding her. She became amazed  of her surroundings that only by the bright the light of the moonshine she could now see. She found her lost self in middle of the rarest of red orchids in a greenest of fields almost completely covered by the whitest of dives flying above, standing in front of a cozy little shack with two rockers out on the porch facing such a peaceful lake while smelling her mother’s fry chicken frying. Then with any sound the man with the master plan arrived, Sanj like a deer caught in headlights looked at him in awe from head to toe; his golden colour and curly hair, strong posture and pleasant smile. He hugged with a warm safe embrace and then walked her over to lake and started softly speaking “i know you miss the rest of your friends and family there, the same way the ones missed you here but do look at the water in the lake right under the bright light at night under the moonshine and watch whenever you want to see your loved ones you’ve left but you’ll never leave behind.” Sanj smiled eagerly as she started watching the water which to her heart’s content in it she found smiling back at her was her lost daughter. And then Hanuman, her creator said to Sanj, I’m here with you, Krishna is there with her but from time we do switch places for we do not sleep and work shifts back to back so we’re both back & forth but for now will you please stay here with us, be happy and safe and enjoying the peace please for your own sake till it’s your daughter’s time I promise you, I’ll carry you with Krishna too when we go for her to take”
