How're you sis? Missed you loads all these days!
I was busy with all my entrance exams and still am! Finally, at least for a day, I got a chance to come here and read your Beautiful OS, on not Arnav's Mom, but everyone's Mother! You made me cry in this, Rachel...You made me cry and reminded me of how important and loving is our Mother's presence in our Life! I hope Aunty's better now and doing well! Does she have any more sessions now?
Every single moment you wrote down here, reminded me of my own such moments I shared with my mother. Being an only child, at first, I didn't understand why didn't I have a sibling of my own like my friends! Soon, after all of it, one day mom told me that she had wished for a daughter from God, and was gifted by the Almighty, Me! At that time, I was exposed to Female foeticide topics and was thankful for my parents for bringing me in to this World!
I, recently, have understood why she had wished for such a thing... For an only and a Girl child.. It's actually a feeling which can't be described with words and can only be felt. That's what I think and have understood. Even I used to think it that way that when Mom used to scold me, I would think that she doesn't love me anymore and is being very mean! Soon after everything had died down, Mom herself told me as to why do parents scold their children and why are they stern with us at times and why do they burn with fury, which actually is a mask for their fear and pain of the consequences that might follow.
I am very close to my Mother and I love her with all my Heart, though at times I feel angry and lose my temper whenever she scolds me even now, but a small voice in my head, brings back the memory of understanding why does she do it... Because she loves me.
She is one Unique piece for me, as she makes me laugh, cry, everything possible in this world! She acts like a kid younger than me and is uncontrollable, but she knows what to do and when! Every mother preaches the same things, teaches the same things, yet are different from each other, yet the same! Because they are Mothers! Mother...

I wanted to write a Poem for Arnav here, but Time is not permitting me to do so. Exams are still round the corner and even for you! So my best wishes to you, Rachel and others here!
Love you Rachel for writing such a Beautiful OS that touched my Heart and reminded me of Importance of a Mother in this very Big Bad World!😃
A confession to make: I really cannot LIVE without My Mother or My Father... Both are the same for me and hold the most Precious places in my Life! Though how much ever I feel like leaving the house, since I've a very HOT temper and wonder how it would be like to be out of this house and independent, the word 'Lonely' strikes me hard, and puts me in a dilemma and I soon realise that without them you are nothing. You wouldn't even have been born in this world, if not for them!
