“Chali re…
Chalire…. Zunoooo keliye…”
Was
hearing to my ears…. It took no time for me to recognize.. was my cell phone….But who could call me so
early….. I had slept late night.. so it took me minutes to pick up the call.
Screen was displaying the name.. I dint bother to see it..swiped the green
to receive the call…
“ Dude…
Mom is Serious!!!!!! Doctors have given up… I..Dn…….”
The
neurons and nerves inside me took seconds to react for this… I was stunned..
dint even bother to listen who the other person was.. Nothing worked inside my
skull, for fractions I was dumb…
Oh God..
How can you be so cruel, How you can make my mom so serious…was next point
blinked in my mind….
The stale
used pant of last day’s late night party was hanging over the hanger, Grabbed
it, wore it. Took out the T shirt from the heap of used dresses.. …..of course
I am a Hostellite!!!…and rushed towards the central bus stand carryin no Ideas
in mind about how to go…..
Only My
mom… My mom’s beautiful face was gleaming to my eyes. Mechanically I had
climbed a bus.. With all and one intention to rush to my home town!!!!! I
managed to get a seat, the co-passenger was a lady with a Baby!!!!
My mind
started thinking the flash back.. when did I call her last time?… Oh no..!!! A
week ago… Crap I was.. Didn’t even bother about her for Last one week.. am I
not a fool who considers enjoyment over affection!! My father had warned me
last time..” Look my boy, I don’t worry if you call me or not regularly.. I
know you have less time for us.. But never fail to call your mom… she cries in
vain each day if you don’t …” Yes my mom is sensitive, she cares for me too
much, what to do my age never recognizes it.. but now I am repenting!!!!
“God.. I
will never repeat such carelessness… Please do survive my Mom… I promise you”..
I prayed what else I can do?.. By this time bus had already started and was
moving on a medium phase….
The baby
in the other seat was still asleep, but the lady half asleep, caring now and
then to see if baby is comfortable… this took me back … Yes My mom’s so caring…
Many a
times she used to say… “ Boy I am getting tensed, when its exam time for you… I
have the faith that you will make it… but still, I don’t get sleep….” I was Ignorant for her claim, bothered about what
she said nor did I look in to what she did late nights…once when I got up after
reading late night to have a cup of coffee… Mom was sitting in the Hall, half
asleep… getting up now and then, I asked what happened, she replied, “ nothing
dear, was waiting here to see if you are asleep, I could wake you up so that
you can complete your studies!!!!” when entire world was enjoying their sleep,
my mom was caring for her baby….
Now she
Looked like an Angle to me…. God I want to care her throughout my life.. Please
don’t take her away….
Jerk!!! In
the bus brought be to the present.. looked at the other seat, the lady was
showing outer world to the baby, through the window pane, Baby looking once at
lady.. once outside with enthusiasm… Dint my mom show me this world, dint she
teach me all new things, dint she understand my dumb language and reacted
without any mistakes….. She did She did…. Patience in her deserves Hats off…
“My boy….
Please teach me how to operate this new cell phone… your dad has a complaint
that I am unable to answer properly to his calls on cell phone… No one else
calls me anyway, atleast teach me how to make calls, and to receive calls in
this”… She had asked with all interests one day, when my dad gifted her a cell
phone.. well I taught her in ignorant manner… twice, anyhow she couldnot
catchup… Then I was impertinent, started scolding, “ Mom, these gadgets are not
for people like you.. Fools cannot try to become wise any ways.. please don’t
waste my time…” What to do?! I had said the same, She was a fool who could
recognize when I was sad, She was a fool who recognized when I was depressed,
She was a fool who knows who I Am?!.... Am I not a sinner
I remember
her tears were at the edge of her eyes, never did she show me her pains, She
went inside the room hopefully she cried to the depth.. but she dint scold me..
or even she didn’t remind it next day…. God I am sinner, give my life portion
to my mom!!!!
A single
phone call of my mom’s status had put me fully in vain, don know what would
happen if I see her in this condition…..What if my mom had not bothered for my
Pains… what if she had not saved in many of my critical conditions, what if she
had not fed me when I was hungry… What was it if She had denied giving birth to
me with only reason… she can’t bear my weight for nine months or she can’t
tolerate the pain on letting me out of her world... to see this world?!?!?!....
I would
not have seen this beautiful world… heart said single thing….World is nothing
without mom… Mom is world…!!!
Mother has no similes.. my memories flipped as
if I was opening a book … this was Living Legend.. on death bead!!
The lady
on the other seat was now feeding her baby…. The Elixir… god had filled in her…
to feed the lucky baby!!!!! I was also Lucky enough to get the same….. at some
times back
The very
thought of Mother feeding milk made me fade myself into miser…. Oh god…. You are
in the form of mother… well I don’t remember the scene when I came out of the
womb.. I don’t even remember the tears in her eyes… at my first look my mom shredded…
I don’t remember her satisfied face when she poured all her love and affection
on my hunger… I don’t remember her tears that blossomed on every vain I suffered…..
But I am
feeling it now…!!!
Things
which I dint even bother to see… is creating emotions in my heart… this is
called relationship… this is what Motherhood means!!! Am I not the worst person
to ignore the god in front of me!!!
“GOD….
NEVER LET ME ALONE… PLEASE STAY WITH ME FOR EVER”….
My journey
towards destiny was almost over with all these thoughts in mind… I got down the
bus.. Without bothering my surroundings… took an auto.. Rushed for ma home… it
was 4.00 evening…
My soul is
not still ready to accept that my mom is under worst…. I came near the gate of
my home..
.
.
.
.
A lady
opening the door of my home!!!! She is my Mom….!!!! Rubbed my eyes twice.. My
mom is fine.. She had returned from school… she was a teacher though!!!....
Nothing
did my brain… rushed at her… Hugged in satisfaction, pleasure…. All the
feelings in my heart blushed out through my eyes… I cried… she did the same….
My heart beat explained her everything…She dint even ask me what had happened….
She was so eager to see me I guess…I am sure ….
All this
had happened just through a phone call... Now I remembered it and took out my
cell to know what the matter actually was…!?.. “Bhuvan” name flashed on call
logs… one of my friends... I called back to know what the matter was…
“Hello”
said the other side… voice was of a lady.. “Sorry sir, Bhuvan is busy with
funeral ceremony of his mother… She died an hour ago!!!!!!”…
God!!! Miscommunication
made me realize something more than important… now my friend had lost the
utmost pearl… I rushed to console him…
