The Accident, and the Aftermath

Dear Eliza,

                  It's long since I have written to you. Had it been normal circumstances, you would have been very angry with me , and you would have had every reason to be so. But now is a different time, and now you will no longer be angry. Partly because you have not written to me in a long time either, and hence committed the same crime just as me. And partly because...

                    I am haunted by the incident every single day of my life, Eliza. And each time the incident comes to my mind, I cannot blame anyone but me. Had I been a bit more careful, had I listened to you for one time, had I not driven so recklessly and so fast, the accident would never have happened. And we could have been together, Eliza. I could have seen you everyday when I woke up, when going to bed with you, pampering you, loving you. And now, it is all over dear, and you know nobody responds to me anymore, when I call by your name. Can you respond to me darling, for once, at least?

                   You know Eliza, I had never believed in afterlife, the idea that there can be something even after death never seemed logical to me. See the game God has played with me, Eliza... because now I must.

                   Darling, can you do one thing for me, please? Because wherever you are now, you are there all alone. And therefore you must learn to live by yourself dear. No matter how much I wish otherwise, I cannot be there for you anymore , I cannot take care of you when you are sick, neither can I force you to eat and forget your daily diet plans anymore. Death has snatched all my authority on you I guess, and left me helpless down here. Baby, can you please promise me that you will take care of yourself? For me?

                 But you know Eliza, what is the only solace I find these days? The only consolation that I give to myself after what happened?

              I thank to God everyday, that He had just taken me that day... and that He had saved you... 

                                                                                                                                From

                                                                                                                      Your late Husband
