Dear Diary:
I am feeling a little relieved tonight. I have assigned the duty of delivering Miriam’s letter to me (on my grave) to Laxmi Das. I have given him all the money I had and asked him to promise me in the presence of Allah. My moments are numbered now! I can breathe my last any moment.
Life could be so unpredictable, I had not imagined in the wildest of my fancy! Such a sharp hairpin bend on the road of life, and I fell down the precipice! How can life be so cruel? My only daughter, whom I nurtured so lovingly left me so all of a sudden! I was left alone! I have been living a forlorn life for five years. Every moment has been a moment of excruciating anguish. The pain of separation has made me wiser also. In retrospect when I ponder over my past ways of life, I feel so ashamed of myself. How cruel and insensitive I used to be. I killed hundreds of partridges and hares. How many families of those birds and rodents I devastated. I know within my heart, God has punished me rightly for my sins.
I have an instinctive faith that she will either write to me or come to see me once before I die. Though living hundreds of miles apart the tender bond of filial affection still connects us. But I may not be alive to receive her letter. Oh God, have mercy on me! I pray to you to deliver me out of this painful existence!
