Today all the voices coming from his house were closed.
Whenever he returned home from his work, he used to get some sounds in the
house. Some times utensils, some times washing, and sometimes many kinds of
sounds in the kitchen which would make Sudha's existence aware. From morning to
night, he was familiar with the sounds of all such varieties in the house.
Sometimes when he comes home in the afternoon, he feels that there will be no
voices coming home. Perhaps Sudha will be resting in the afternoon. Then he
would wonder that Sudha would have been preparing to dry clothes on the roof at
that time. When he used to read a book while lying in bed at night, he wanted
to stop the sounds coming from his house, but at that time Sudha was heating
almond milk on gas for him in the kitchen or hot water to take his medicine.
Today the whole house was utterly silent. There are no voices. Sudha had passed for 15 days. Surprise, for the last 25 years, he never appreciated these voices. Sudha was an ordinary woman for him. The one who cooks for him washes his clothes, takes care of him. Just like a servant. he felt today that it was a big mistake for him to consider Sudha as an ordinary woman. All the types of voices that he used to consider in the house were meaningless, her dedication was her worship, he started trying to find those voices in the whole house.
