John's age is just a number

It was raining in banglore, John, who turned 64, still fit, captivating white hair, with wrinkles lined up on his forehead , despite wrinkles he was still looking handsome in his own way, small black eyes which showed lonliness , standing on the door side, bidding bye to his children and grand children.  901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRBEVzUK75

" See you next year" , He hollered,901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ933vhxMGt8
glancing onto the moving car, wiping tears from his eyes with his finger.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17LP5zFmzN
901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdIss1n53J
    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" . 901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LcQZ63z8O

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. 901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHe6G6lSan

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.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yVzTxNKas
