Why had they got her here? Yes she sometimes felt a little out of control and out
of herself… But did that warrant bringing her to a mental asylum?
All the people here were so vague. They stared vacantly at her – she was not
like that. Why? Why? WHY?
The doctor hadn’t even said till when. But no point in panicking now – her
daughter and her husband had said they would meet her tomorrow itself. She
would know more then.
What if they didn’t meet her?? Does that mean they had just left her here for
good? More panic. She could not let herself think that way. They would come
tomorrow – she was sure.
As she looked out of the window – she saw them walking away. She knew that if
she was with them, the pace would be a lot slower. Her husband walking ahead
very fast, always imagining he was going to miss some bus (even though they
had a car for years now) and her daughter keeping pace with him.
She saw what she knew she would – her husband not looking back ... he would
not even have expected to see her if he had – always so pessimistic, her
daughter looking back but at the windows on top for some reason – somewhat
misguided as always … looking desperately but always just a little away from
where she would find what she was looking for.
She laughed to herself – and they thought she was the crazy one! Oh but how
she missed them. She couldn’t wait till tomorrow. They would be there tomorrow wouldn't they.. they said they would...
