" See you next year" , He hollered,799Please respect copyright.PENANALQNmS6jF3L
glancing onto the moving car, wiping tears from his eyes with his finger.799Please respect copyright.PENANAhaBWAldF7J
799Please respect copyright.PENANA7Mlud4SDtO
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" . 799Please respect copyright.PENANAOHVgKmLxiC
799Please respect copyright.PENANAqZaKWe6CUJ
"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.799Please respect copyright.PENANARv3iJieyzR
799Please respect copyright.PENANAymlYgX8W26
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. 799Please respect copyright.PENANAMcC24XdcDn

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". 799Please respect copyright.PENANA0w2Gtx5Qb6
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.799Please respect copyright.PENANACQ2ir2Tgnq
