‘Forgive me God, for I have sinned “
I was sitting in the confession box and now I now I have to confess all what I have done in my life,
I know at the other side of the box a priest or may be no one was listening to me, but I know I can’t stop , I have to confess everything which I have done in my life for I have sinned a lot more than what I can bear
“What is there my child, no one is pure, everyone committed sins in their life “a reply came from the other side.
“There were lot of mistakes I did in my early life Father, more than what anyone can ever do “I said
I was feeling like bursting out everything which I kept inside me for ages, for some reason I acquired lot of courage that time. I was feeling like I don’t care what anyone does to me I will spit out everything which I want to take out of my chest.
“Mistakes, my son is a very complex word it does not tell exactly what sort of things you have committed , you might have done something unintentionally without knowing its consequence or you might’ve done something intentionally without knowing its consequence “ the reply came from the other side
My mind was drooling that time; I realized why people come over here. The priest has a very comforting voice; it’s the tone which is automatically calming me down. I was getting courage to speak out. This was really bizarre for me but I didn’t stop.

“My dear that is something out of the ordinary could you please enlighten me more about it “said the priest.
“Father, I don’t even know where to start, I tend to mess everything up every time I try to recall everything, it’s been years since that dreadful thing happened , I never thought that it would haunt me for so long , Every time I close my eyes I feel a chill inside me , I sometimes even cry unconsciously , forgive me Father but I never believed in spiritual stuffs I thought I am the master of myself I control everything which revolves around me , it was too late when I realized where I stand “ I paused for a while tried to recall what happened .
Fear ,anger , frustration , excitement , love , cry , joy all of these feelings were coming to me as I found myself in the flashback . It’s the house of God anything can happen here.
In the distant I heard a cry and then a shot. I turned around and found that it was the television. I was watching it while someone was offering his daily prayers outside. It was horrible all through my life I lived like an atheist . Did stuffs which people warned me not to do .
Actually it was always like I lived at the edge of risk only the fact was I wasn’t brave I was always like the person who wants to sly out whenever trouble comes into play .
At the other side I heard a female voice . I tried to see where that voice came from but all was blurred
“Promise me that you will always love me the way you love me now “ I tried a lot to think who could’ve said that but nothing came to my head .
Then all of a sudden I found myself …..(to be continued )
