Embeded

I sat on the window sill, looking at the final stages of the sun setting. The birds flying back to their nests, children in the muddy playground shouting and kicking the ball to the net and people rushing to get out of their offices; the usual hustle. Everything still the usual, but nothing amounts to what my heart feels at the moment. Does not seem, I just buried someone six-feet in the ground, someone who had been with me when my own parents kicked me out, someone who had been a support to me her whole life, who hugged me when people pushed me calling out stinky, somebody who always went ahead to make me happy, whose single smile could make me the happiest man alive; my Amma.
