The verdict of life

The moment I stepped in, I was quickly ushered by a question, do you still remember him?

I looked over to the frail uncle right across the bed, there was a sense of familiarity. I could quickly tell Maz that I knew that uncle, unmistakenly. He was so thin compared the previous time I saw him a month ago. He was pale and appeared tired.

He put on a tired smile and the wife acknowledged me. I felt him instantaneously. We exchanged a short conversation before I asked him to take care and rest more. Then I moved on. But he was never gone missing from my sight the whole time I was there. I took a peek every now and then.

The disease really claiming all his energy. Merely few months, everything changes for him. He has a tumour in his mouth which was not detected until later, but again he was having unsuspecting symptoms.

I could see the family was worried. But I couldn't figure out what they were thinking. I never knew how to react in that situation. A lil awkward, all I wanted to ask was if there was anything I could do. But I just knew, it's a silly question. Definitely I couldn't heal him with a snap of fingers, then why to mention it when there was nothing I could do.

Life sometimes reaches a point where there is out of option. All we could do is to wait for the verdict to come. Until then, we will continue wondering.
