Who was She?


Day before yesterday, I was celebrating my weekend with my friend, Benny. The festive seasons were not ended yet. We decided to celebrate the festival at his place. His place is very interesting, that is in between the graveyard and the Masjid, and he is a Christian. We celebrated, the night became darker and my place is too far, hence I decided to stay there. He arranged my bed in his bed room and his too.

I slept on the cot and he arranged a bed near to the window. Night had grown up as like every night. In the mid night I felt thirsty, but it is January and this year it is a little cold. Therefore, we had covered our faces with blankets. When I felt thirsty, I removed my blanket and took the water. Then I went to the bed again. This time I took another bed sheet and covered me well, because I felt the blanket was too thick. I was about to sleep, I found something there near at the window, which dragged my attention. I found something unusual. I had a thought of shouting but remained silent.


Even in cold, I was sweating. I did not dare to uncover my face. I saw from the bed sheet, a fair, white dressed lady was at the window. My friend's house is at the third floor and how could a person climb till there? But, that was true. I could not believe for a moment but that was happening. From her out fit she was looking like a lady. She was continuously gazing at my friend, Benny. I was terrified then. I became only the spectator. Because, she was not looking like any human being, she was something different.


Soon, she came from the window, without opening that. She came and sat near to Benny and looked at him with adore. She turned his head toward me and looked at me too, but I prevailed as if I am sleepy. She genteelly rub her hand on Benny's forehead and smiled. She then looked at me and then disappeared. After some moment I got up. I could not buy the sleep then. I could not even ask Benny about that lady, because my asking might gave him a fear. But, she left a pleasant feeling in me.


I went out. Saw at the graveyard and the Masjid as well. Then I looked at the star, they were blinking as obvious. I saw, a star, as if that waving its hand. I could not sleep that night and till now I am thinking, "Who was she?"


She may be anyone, but not a human being for sure. Whoever that may be, that was not a threat, I guess. That was blissful and full of motherhood. May the creator has sent her to look after us. But still, the question is alive, who was she?
