Once, angels of God, Raphael and Gabriel visited our country for their duty. Raphael was deeply upset.
Gabriel was curious to know the reason.
“Hey! Raphael! What’s up bro! This is the first visit to India.. Why are you not enjoying its beauty?" asked Gabriel.
"My duty was to find people who live in love and harmony with their family and report it to God. But I came to know that I have nothing to do.
There is something called Facebook and WhatsApp which people love more than their family."
"C’mon bro.. I even wanted to use it in heaven so that I can put in my Facebook status on who comes next" giggled Gabriel
Raphael remained silent.
Gabriel hummed and said, "Fine bro. I was just kidding. What’s wrong? What did you see??"
After a pause, “I’ll tell you exactly what I saw. I saw two families. One was Husband-wife and the other one was father-daughter” said Raphael.
“I saw that wife yelling” Raphael continued,
“Raj… Are you there? I am calling out your name.. .. Raaaaj!! What the hell are you doing?? I am cutting vegetables… Why can’t you come and help me.. Am trying to make your favourite dish.. but you are not bothered to help me??? Raaaaaj…!! This is it. I’m gonna come out and see what you are doing that busily. “
“I saw her yelling from kitchen. She was wearing some kind of glass bangles. I do not know what it signifies in Indian culture. But I felt pity for her. She wanted help. Do you know what her husband was doing?”
“Bathing? Sleeping? Working? “, Gabriel kept guessing on the various options.
“Nope.. He was playing. He was playing in his smart phone some stupid silly video game and his ears were deafened with headsets “sighed Raphael
“What happened then? What about the other family? “, asked Gabriel.
“That daughter was in 12th grade. I saw her studying. Her dad came and sat next to her and said, “I saw few kids selling toys on trains without anyone to take care of them. My heart was melted… We are not alone dear. I have you for me and you do have me to look upon always.. “
“What did the girl reply??? “, Gabriel was curious to know.
“OK dad. “, said Raphael.
“Are you kidding me bro??? Was that her reply?? “, Gabriel became furious.
“Yes!. And she had a mob phone inside her book and texted someone “Dad went to sleep. Can text freely”, fumed Raphael,” And I saw his dad going to sleep thinking that she is busy studying. I could not see the sadness in his face. It was disappointment. It was loneliness. It was love. It was trust. He had trust and went to sleep”.
“Relax bro. People are the same everywhere”, comforted Gabriel.
“That wife prepared dinner amidst all her difficulties and brought it to the dining table. Her husband took a picture of it and uploaded in Facebook saying “My beautiful wife made this beautiful dinner” . I don’t understand bro. How can a person never speak with each other but just publicize as if they are intimate and happy?? “, doubted Raphael, “ And just click poses as if they kiss each other when in reality they do not even spare time for each other.?”
“Next day morning when that husband woke up yelling for his coffee, I saw a note lying on the same dining table where they had dinner. It said “Thanks for everything”.
And that daughter’s dad was in coma in ICU and I saw her crying, stating the same words,“I have you for me and you do have me to look upon always”
“Bro..! Wait! Where are you leaving?? Are you gonna punish them both??” questioned Gabriel.
“Why should I punish them? They’ve got their punishments already.. “,said Raphael and flew back to heaven.
