**Mother Of A Drug Addict**

"Poorvi Dutta" as the name read on the postmortem report, "I need detailed information about this lady." exclaimed the Police inspector in his experienced voice. Swimming down the public records they discovered her to be a shadow, without light it's non existent. A lady who existed like a ghost for so long and now came up like a wild forest fire.
'A mother from heart and a loving wife from nature' as one of her neighbours said.
It's only getting worse for us with each passing hour. As the bacterias were grouping up to set  up their colonies deep inside her, a lady just turned down into a body, a name just got lost in abyss and the body? Destined to return back to dust.
Searching her house they discovered she was mother of two and a widow by fate. Moving on they could'nt figure a lot about her neither in photographs nor in the memories of the strangers who surrounded her house. After a deep search programme they discovered her diary.
After returning home he sat on his old rocking chair starring at the celling thinking about everything and nothing, after a long days work it was all that he could do loosening the grip of his tie he opened the diary looking at the pages it was quite clear that these pages have seen buds bloom, flowers dance, hope shattered, worlds devastate. Reading further he discovered her. She was a brilliant lady and belonged to a rich household, childhood for her was a dreamland she used to live in, teenage went pretty well, born studious and good grades was what followed. Then he happened in her life, he was like the sunshine in her life. He made her bloom in a million little ways, she was always a queen to him .
A perfect life' read the last words in her diary followed by blank pages untill the last three pages which explained it all, everything that happened in that doomed room of her. After her sunshine left her widow everything in happened her shattered, hopes doomed, life stagnated around her. After a few months of her husbands death their son started behaving in a abnormal way like he was dead hallucinated almost every time. Like he was dead tired lifeless eyes, hopeless thoughts and one day she discovered the horrifying scene that a mother can perceive with her own eyes. She saw her son lifeless lying on floor with a syringe lying beside his hands, his face went pale yellow and eyes just lost in the abyss. Her son was a drug addict for last 2 months he was surviving on heroin. It was his reality, his everything circled around marijuana and heroin shots. She called ambulance, hospital, every help that she could have got but he was long gone.
It was like the dreadful nightmare that happened to her life and what more reason does a lady gets left out to live?  A leap of faith to the world so different that was all took to her to attain everything she wanted, Peace.
"Mother of a drug addict" concluded the police officer in his final report.
