Tears welled up in the eyes of some until the widebody landing of Nepal Airlines flight number 416 landed. Because what they had been waiting for for years was turning to ashes. Flying with the unlimited hope of earning money, they were confined to corpses and belongings that frustrated themselves.
Lok Bahadur Shahi of Dullu Municipality 13 went to Malaysia three years ago. With the dream of earning to keep his wife and two children happy. Abroad, he got a job as a security guard.
Worked hard Khatan endured. They have also earned some money. Meanwhile, an outbreak of the coronavirus spread. So I kept planning to come to Nepal on vacation and meet my family. The 12-year-old son kept asking on the phone - when will Baba come? Also, the question of the 14-year-old daughter is the same - when will she bring us, new grandparents?
The son and daughter had agreed to leave as they could not speak. He also promised to come after the next Dashain Tihar.
But, exactly 32 days before today, news came from Malaysia - Lok Bahadur was found dead in his bed.
The reason is not known. There was no disease or illness. No one thought that his life was insecure while working for the security of the company. He slept for a few hours to rest and never woke up.
Nana, Papa, and Mrs. Pushpa Shahi, who pay for the house expenses, did not receive any money. They returned as objects in the royal wooden box. Lok Bahadur's family came to take care of each other and help each other. They left the airport for Pashupatinath carrying the dead body and tears in their eyes. For cremation.
They are returning to Dailekh today after dumping their bodies in Bagmati. Now Lok Bahadur's children will not dream of their father's return.
Where is the effect of this unpleasant destiny on only one family? The bodies of 24 people including Shahi and the remains of 3 people were brought to Kathmandu from Malaysia today. Those who had planned to return home with a box full of money and relatives for Koseli came packed in boxes themselves.
