Joy?

Chintu sat down staring out and wondered on the happenings.A chill passed in her spain. Is it possible that there is evil in her look? She questioned herself.It has been her experience that her joy invariably ended telling her not rejoice.Morning she saw her child well clad in full glow.She felt it was a gift to her on the festival day.She did her work in joy.she visited her mother in law. She received special blessings.She had planned nice things for the next day. She was home in the thoughts that made her feel light.The evening was warm and the talk was sweet.The door bell rang as if to say donot beam the end of joy is in the offing.When she opened the door she saw her child pale and low. She didnot meet her eye.she spoke monosyllables that had the sharpness of a knife it entered slowly into her heart cutting it softly ,Chintu said'oh,no no'
