10^th August

Dear Diary,

It was 7^th August and nobody in this house had prepared for the birthday. It was Mamma's birthday. But where was she? I was screaming myself hoarse but nobody seemed to understand. I banged my head yet it was all useless. The kind lady showed me a photo from the fallen suitcase. It was Mamma's photo. But I screamed even more. This was not going the right way. Vikram Uncle came and tried to pacify me. But I was beyond reasoning. I was screeching now. My throat was hurting, my head was paining and I was getting tired by the minute. Didn't they know what was done on a birthday? Had they never celebrated a birthday in this house before? Where were the festivities? Vikram Uncle guessed that a cake was needed. So Abhi's mum rang up Papa and told him to buy a cake.

When he came home, I was still weeping and yelling. He tried to calm me down. But I was in no state to listen to reason. Finally the lady started to sing. Huh? What was it? It sounded familiar. I quietened down somewhat.

"Happy Birthday to you……"

I stood up and went close to the table. I stopped screaming and stopped crying. The refrain was very soothing or was it the lady's voice? After everyone stopped singing, Papa cut a slice and offered it to me. Papa can really be funny. I don't like cake. So why was he offering me a piece? I turned my face away. I took the slice from his hand and held out my hand to Mamma. I blinked and saw that Mamma wasn't there instead it was the nice lady. But it didn't matter, she was the next best. She opened her mouth as I fed her the birthday cake. Next I smeared it on her cheek.

Visions of bygone days…….of happy days came back. Joy had returned and peace had been restored in my heart.

The past wasn't really a complete blur

Something on this day had surely occurred

It was Mamma's birthday, it was no mistake

But why couldn't I see her blessed cake?

Good night Diary, it been a rather tiring day……..but it ended well for me.
