What Happened?

I am feeling as if my body is heavy but somewhere in green place I am sitting and waiting. I don't know what happened and how I am here. He came towards me to sit where I was. I am feeling the green ground is pulling me down. It pulled me so hard inside like swallowing me. I am back again where I was sitting and he is weeping now. 
Without knowing what is going on or where I am, words came from my lips, "Wha.... How are you, now? "
He looked above  blue but cloudy sky. 
"And after passing years it seems like nothing happened. Everything is fine. " 
I felt warm drops of tears on my cheek, but I don't want to interrupt him and he went on. 
" Looking back all I see is darkness as if someone just clicked lights switch off and all at once went blank. Not fading, no, just went blank, like nothing was there. No one was there with glittering beautiful eyes and smile and blushing face. Hmm Feelings, nothing. How fool I was and still I am  to look back. Just wanted to get glimpse of sweet memories that went into the darkness, although I know there will be nothing but pain. Like a dark mirror, neither I can see what was there nor what is there. Seems like nothing existed, not even shadows, which once meant a whole world. Only if you could enter inside my head and see what I am feeling right now, you will never ask again that question." 
I opened my eyes and droplets of tears were on my cheeks. Some 10 years ago, I saw a happily married couple, new in the semi-urban. After  few months, I saw they were changed. They were like strangers to each others. I never wanted to cross their path. But during their happy days, they invited me as a neighbour's child who will have some cookies. He invited me. Both were nice to me. Something happened and he died. I could not digest it. Few days before the sad news, he gave me a package. He trusted me with it. 
"What happened? "
"..... you will never ask again that question. " 
The package is still with me, safe. I don't know what is inside. And I don't want to know. I am curious but I gave him words to open only when it is needed. 


After returning with the letter that day, I didn't dared to open the letter but may be I should open and read. I was already lost, the letter won't make any difference. I am already done with whatever happened. But I wanted to know what really happened.
