" See you next year" , He hollered,734Please respect copyright.PENANA94rrLMPF8I
glancing onto the moving car, wiping tears from his eyes with his finger.734Please respect copyright.PENANA7DiG3klJ22
734Please respect copyright.PENANAVGW3euWAFC
Now he is just left alone in his big house, two storeyed modern house,white painted, Inside was largely open, a floating stairway leading to the upper floor, and every floor was smooth polished , named as "Nest house" . 734Please respect copyright.PENANA5Jb2rJtwTW
734Please respect copyright.PENANAXKAkcjzNh8
"This is our nest house, Its filled with love and laughter " he reminisced his wife's words as his fingers rub across the name plate.734Please respect copyright.PENANAeLJf2jBX6p
734Please respect copyright.PENANAUVS1wzXP9i
He calls himsef as a 'good Actor' for pretending as he prefers solitary dwelling by faking a happy smile on his face, But the truth loneliness is the most terrible poverty. Its been 5 years since he is all alone living in the nest house, Life seems to be very boring , mentally exhausted. He longed to remarry, But he did not had enough courage to discuss about his remarriage with his children, thinking that his children would express scorn and contempt. But he had always wished if someone could volunteerly come forward and present to his children on his behalf. He had not taken any initiative action , instead he decided to bury his feelings deep inside himself. Befriending with lonliness was the only choice he had. 734Please respect copyright.PENANAASTjXSDRFU

Few months passed, he decided to start the business again As he was very bored with his life , And also to put an end to his awkwardness when people ask " Are you into business now?" , Usually his answer would be "No, I sit at home". 734Please respect copyright.PENANA2u5NvigypA
Next question would be ", How do you kill the time then?" My mind will be blank to answer this question because I just want to scream and say " I am terribly bored" , instead I would keep silent.734Please respect copyright.PENANAa9vrzlXIHz
