Finding the love –part 3
He closed the door as quietly as possible and moved to her room. His mother was leaning on the chair and it seemed she had been thinking something.
Putting his bag on the door he moved to her and held her one hand in his hands. “you finally got the time to meet your mother.” lady crossed him without opening her eyes.
“its only 8 ma.”and he tried keeping his head on her lap. “and what is in dinner ?”
Caressing his lush hairs she said, “I hope you are not tired…. And he looked up questioningly.
“I needed to talk with my son.” She kept caressing his hairs and suddenly she sounded……aged.
“mum, are you taking your therapy sessions?” he asked strengthening on the floor.
“she has one beautiful girl, what is her name….it was something like smoothi,soothi,” she tried to remember her name.
“Silki,” he completed for her.
“yeah, Silki…the girl is like that only.” She said like recalling her.
“did you meet them recently?” he asked closing his eyes on her lap fully knowing today there was no escape from this topic.
“no,I was just recalling old moments.” She said. “remember ,it was me who selected Krishna for you back then.”
And he stilled, “why you are saying all that ma?”
“for you she was too meek, too ordinary, one you were not going to even notice if I hadn’t forced?”
“yeah, I was a dumb back then.”he smiled recalling those days.
“I so wanted her to be my daughter in law.”she smiled on that past wish.
“Ma, why we are talking about past, it seriously has nothing to do with present.” He caressed her palm assuringly.
“you came after five days and went straight to meet her,” and he felt guilty. “her girl calls you father, right?”
“who told you this ?” he left her lap.
“then its true.”she sighed.
“I feel good with that.”He smiled.
“Years back you trusted me with your life and when today I again want that only why are you denying,” now he wasn’t expecting this. “Ashna is a nice girl, have you ever noticed how caring she is.”
“I agree she is but you know what I want.”he said getting up.“now if we are done talking about this then lets just eat,I am hungry, and…..he said over his shoulder “ by the way she is still a great girl for me”and He left from there.
“SHE is a great girl Sayyam I know, I have always known but she is broken and maybe it will take her a long time to love you back with the same intensity you do. I only want best for you.” She knew she was breaking his heart this way but she too had experienced this world all these years and she knew about many things which her son didn’t even think upon, all he knew he wanted to mend her heart.

As she kept all the clothes of the day in the bin bag to wash next morning, she went back to one past moment in her life.
“You should wash the innerwears daily and leave the heavy clothes for the weekend, if you wash them all together you can save much of electricity and detergent.” He had said profusely typing.
“And what will happen of that” she had crossed him putting the water hose in the machine.
“This way less detergent to the environment, these detergents are not that ecofriendly.” He had replied without leaving the keys.
“okay, I shall try but right now I have already put the water into the machines now if I don’t wash this would be wastage of water.” And she grinned fully knowing she irritated him this way.
“By the way it looks you have got some new project about resources and development.”she enquired scooping the detergent in the machine.
“Yeah you are right, I am working on this article of recharging zones of the rivers in nearby areas,Prashant has already emailed me the reports.” He said looking to her for a split second.
“So Mr. Editor, would you like some lemon tea to energize yourself?” she came to him.
“Definitely,” his eyes beamed. “but before please think about my earlier suggestion.and by the way there is one more advantage of this.”
“And what is that.” She narrowed her eyes putting her hands on her waist.
“Ummmm, let me show you.” He said stretching his one hand and pulling her lightly to himself. “we will get more of the time to ourselves.”
“Oh,look who is saying this,” she left his hold and making a face said “who is never free for family.”and they both smiled because they knew she was right.
“mumma, are you going to wash my frock?” she was jolted out suddenly And found her girl talking to her.
“no my girl I was just putting them in corner to wash in weekends.” and she turned to brush away the little tears who had already made their way.
“Mumma ”
“hun”
“why don’t we live with Paps ?” came one of those things which were common from last few weeks.
“why,” she looked to her daughter softly. ” don’t you love Granny?” she tried changing the direction. “if we will go then who will live with her,hun?”
“we will take her with us.” Her girl was actually speaking like him and this certain HIM, has turned her rather peaceful life upside down.
“its not that easy my doll.”she mumbled pulling her socks down.
“but Paps said it is simple.” And she thought to call him and give an earful but she also knew if she called he would already start daydreaming and though frustrated she smiled.
