Forgotten Anniversary

On Monday, 26^th August 2013, I opened my notebook after a week of an intensive official works. To my surprise, the message reads as follows in my wife’s timeline (Facebook) posted on 22^nd August 2013:

“Tomorrow will be my happy anniversary with the one i love so much. I hope every thing remain same although life is so much carried away by ups n downs. Do u knw frends even harsh words n the unappopriate words spoken to us vanishes when u think of those happiest days. For me i treasure the day more than anything. So when u are so upset try to remember the happy day u ve gone through and things will be alright soon”.  

Another line reads (posted on 24^th August 2013, 11:32 pm):

“Frends, m extremly sorry to make u all wish for my anniversary on 24 august. To tell u all frankly my lovable person seemed so ignorant of the day i mean i was the only one who cheered the day. Dnt u all feel funny of my interesting day. I almost felt like hanging and suicide there tey ha ha... Life is so interesting some times”.

After reading the messages, I felt bad and disgusted, dumbfounded and blank, in drawing any imagination. I was guilty myself. I have never realized that I was too engaged  to office works and even forgotten to wish my 11^th anniversary with her. I commented hesitantly the following on her facebook status:

 I am extremely sorry!!! I have not noticed my self how busy I was for last one week had you not reminded me of our anniversary. I know i have met special person in my life to celebrate each moment with specialty. I always love you.

While I know I was busy with office work to fill my tummy, it was so ridiculous of me to not to have a minute-break to think back of family life. I regretted for not been able to give a special attention to the special person in my life on special day. From there, I promised myself to  set an alarm in my heart for the same occasion. Nevertheless, I always cherish each moment I live with her.
