It's about to rain...rain after a long summer...no leaves danced for us...really hot...
She told...."it will rain soon..."
I felt happy to hear that...
Then a big flash accompanied by a roar happened....
"Let's go inside dear...come..."she said
I went with her...
A very dark night....power went off....
I laid on grandma's lap...she moved her fingers in my hair...
"Do u know dear....why thunder and lightning happens...?" she asked me
"I don't know..." I replied
"It's something that God remind us of heaven and hell...." she said
"Really!?....."I was amazed and wondered!!!
I asked...."how !?"
"Thunder and lightning are from hell..When fire is poured in hell...,people there cry aloud...!"
She said and breathed deeply....
"Then how he remind us about heaven....?" I asked....
"The rain poured to earth with some magic seeds in it reminds the heaven..."she said...
"Magic seeds!....what's that?" I sat straight and asked her...
"Have you seen mushrooms after rain, dear...?...."she asked...
"Yea....with sparkling eyes...I answered...
"Those are the seeds thrown from heaven....!!They are alive...can hear and talk to you..."she told
"But we see lot like dat...."I said
"God is always naughty...we should find among, the real heavenly one..."
Grandma is thinking something else....
It rained....angry rain!....
"Grandma..." I called her...
"What is the fortune of that magic mushrooms? "I asked eagerly
"They are the angels who come to us...God has sent them to us
Those seeds come out as beautiful mushrooms and they fly invisible from it to whom they need....
Millions of angels are here flying around now...."
"Can we see them grandma....?" I asked
"Why not ?u can surely....close your eyes and sleep well now...dear...."
My eyes filled with lot of flying angels......some dressed in white with crowns,some in pink with handful of flowers....
It's still raining....fragrant rain after an interval...
I felt the coolness that grandma told about rains in her stories...
Next morning....
I looked to the mirror...
Wrinkles on my face...I looked similar to my grandma...her smile I saw last night , I saw that in the mirror in front of me....!
How come years passed so soon....I thought....
No...!....it was a dream...!
Maybe...I whispered to nobody...
I heard the steps coming forward..
She came with a tray of breakfast and some medicines along with it...
My maid...I like her..not like my daughter...she smile always...
Yesterday's sedative made you sleep like this....you will be alright soon...have this food and let's have medicines too...she was not stopping her talks...
I was not stopping thinking about grandma...rain...mushroom...angels....
I saw a big street down my window with cars in a long queue...
Green light!...Suddenly the cars moved...
I told my maid to get me a mushroom....!
"A red one with golden dots...!"
She told me..."we will get it...But before that ,have these medicines...
I nodded...thinking I could find at least one angel!!....
