OS : Mother's Day
" Mom! Get my bottle.", Aarav called out.
Khushi quickly filled the bottle. Arranged the tiffin & ran to his room.
"Mom! Where is my socks? ", he asked.
"Ooh! Aarav. I asked you to keep everything properly. Wait! I will look for it. ", Khushi said, while looking for his socks.
"Here you go! ", Khushi said, while giving him his socks. "Beta, you still didn't comb your hair. Come, let me comb. ", She said, while picking hair brush from his table. Aarav sat on the bed, and wore his socks...while Khushi combed his hair.
"Mom! Pls make my favourite dish for lunch.", pleaded Aarav.
"Yes sweety! ", Khushi said, & kissed his forehead. "Come", she continued.
Aarav entangled his hands with her & went downstairs, where Arnav was waiting for him.
"Lets go champ!", Arnav remarked.
"Drive safely Arnavji.", Khushi waved both of them.
Arnav drove Aarav to school. " Bye Champ! Meet you in afternoon!", He kissed him & drove away after assuring that he had gone inside the school gate. As, Arnav's car faded from sight, Aarav came out, someone came & took him.
*Afternoon*
Arnav was waiting in his car for Aarav to return. It had been 5min since school got over.
' Teacher must have stopped him', he thought & kept waiting.
10 more min passed by...still no sign of Aarav. School was empty now. Arnav got worried & made his way to Aarav's class. While he was going there...he crashed with his teacher.
"Oh! Sorry ma'am! ", Arnav apologised.
"Mr. Raizada! Good Afternoon! What happened to Aarav? Is he unwell today? ", she asked.
"Aaarav?...He...why?",Arnav got confused.
"He didn't came today... that's why I am asking", Teacher replied.
Arnav went numb. He, himself dropped Aarav to school! How can he..? Did someone kidnap...No! , Arnav didn't knew what to say & hurriedly went to the car...ignoring the calls of his teacher. He sat in his car, wore seat belt and clasped the steering. Where he can go? How he must be? And...and...what would he tell Khushi, who has been calling him even before Aarav's school got over.
All the thoughts were killing him...he was really tensed. He remembered the day when Aarav hid in freezer of restaurant...what if this time...due to some reason he did sa...No!! Arnav started the engine, when...Khushi called again.
What he should tell her? Should he lie? No he can't...Khushi would know in minutes. With heavy heart he picked up her call.
"Arnavji! where are you? And where is my champ? Pls come fast...his lunch is waiting for him", Khushi said...while stirring happily.
"Kh..u..shii...", Arnav said in hoarse voice. Khushi got scared.
"What happened Arnavji? Did anything happen to Aarav? I AM ASKING SOMETHING!!", Khushi shouted.'
With heavy heart he poured out that Aarav was missing. Khushi was shell shocked. Spatula fell from her hand. She too went numb.
"Khushi...Khushi...pls don't worry...I'll find..."
"Arnavji! how can u be so careless! I told u to reach there on time. How can you?? He is just 6...and u?? You..!! What if anything happen to him? Leave it! I am coming...we'll have to find together", She said, while shivering & hung up. She was in tears. Where he could go? Was he angry? "What ifs " made her more n more tensed...her tears weren't stopping. Khushi somehow reached school...while looking for Aarav. She joined Arnav there n began their search.
*Evening*
It was 7pm...in still there was no trace of Aarav. Both looked for every place, where they could spot Aarav...but no luck. Khushi had been crying since afternoon...and every failure made her heart sink more n more...She was in verge of fainting. Seeing this situation of Khushi...Arnav drove back to home.
As they opened the door, whole RM was dark. Khushi was tired. She was crying...totally broken. All kind of negative thoughts were covering her mind...when suddenly, she saw a little figure under a spot light.
"AARAV!!!" It was Aarav standing there...neatly dressed in 3 piece suit...his head down. It was, as if someone has given Khushi an electric shock...She, from somewhere got energy & leaving Arnav at door ran towards Aarav. She gave him a tight hug & kissed his forehead...still crying bitterly.
"Where were you?? Don't you know how much tensed we were?? Did anyone scold you?? Are you angry with me?? ", Khushi asked in one breathe.
Aarav smiled...kissed her cheeks. He entangled his hands with her's & whispered, " Come mom"
He took her to a seat & made her sit. Then, there was blackout again. After few seconds, spot light was again shown on him. He gave a broad smile to her and said -
"This one is for you MOM! Love you! "
Main Kabhi Batlata Nahin
Par Andhere Se Darta Hoon Main Maa
Yun To Main, Dikhlata Nahin
Teri Parwaah Karta Hoon Main Maa
Tujhe Sab Hain Pata, Hain Na Maa
Tujhe Sab Hain Pata, Meri Maa
I never tell,
But I'm afraid of the dark, o mother
I don't show it,
But I care for you, o mother
You know it all, don't you, mother?
You know it all my mother..
There was a screen...where every moment that Aarav spent with Khushi was projecting. Aarav stood there, looking at her mom's Awe stricken face. Song continued...
Bheed Mein Yun Na Chodo Mujhe
Ghar Laut Ke Bhi Aa Naa Paoon Maa
Bhej Na Itna Door Mujhko Tu
Yaad Bhi Tujhko Aa Naa Paoon Maa
Kya Itna Bura Hoon Main Maa
Kya Itna Bura Meri Maa
Don't leave me in the crowd like that,
I won't even be able to come back home, mother,
Don't send me so far away
that you cannot even remember me, mother
Am I so bad, o mother?
That bad, my mother?
Arnav was still standing there at the door. He was taken back by this gesture of Aarav. He never thought that this small kid of his' could think of all this. He smiled...wiped his tears & leaned on the door.
There was something written on screen :
" I didn't knew what Mother means...how she looks...how she loves until I found you. You know mom, when I used to see other children, with their mom, I felt jealous..I felt that emptiness. I always stood outside that private school & watched other moms caring for their children...thinking that one mom would come & caress me like she is doing to her own child...but No one ever came. I kept on standing there...cursing God, who never gave me my mom. You always say, I am God's favourite child. Yes Mom! You were right. I am his favourite child...and as a gift he gave me YOU!
Jab Bhi Kabhi Papa Mujhe
Jo Zor Se Jhoola Jhulate Hain Maa
Meri Nazar Dhoondhe Tujhe
Sochu Yahi Tu Aa Ke Thaamegi Maa
Unse Main Yeh Kehta Nahin
Par Main Seham Jaata Hoon Maa
Chehre Pe Aana Deta Nahin
Dil Hi Dil Mein Ghabraata Hoon Maa
Tujhe Sab Hai Pata Hai Naa Maa
Tujhe Sab Hai Pata Meri Maa
Whenever dad pushes me hard on a swing,
My eyes look for you,
(thinking) you would stop me o mother
I don't tell him, but I feel fear o mother
I don't let it show on my face,
but I am afraid in my heart, o mother
you know it all, don't you, mother?
You know it all, my mother...
Song ended. Every member was silently watching it & weeping simultaneously. Khushi was not left with any word. She got up from her seat...tears welling up her eyes. She sat on her knees & kept her hands on his lil shoulder.
He sweetly greeted her : " Happy Mother's day Ma! Sorry, that I made you sad...but this was for you! I don't know if I would be able to return this love of urs...but this was just a small tribute...a small thank u...for making my life, this family's life like a heaven. Thank u Mom!"
Khushi now broke down. She could not control herself & hugged him hard. No one can describe what her heart felt that time...it was indescribable. That pleasure! That proud feeling to be His Mom!
In this whole session, except Khushi, did not notice Arnav...who made his way to store room. He sat down & opened his childhood album...lovingly spreading his hands on his pics with his Maa. His eyes were filled with tears. Khushi came behind him & sat down beside him.
"I had everything in life...and still have everything. But, still I am poor. Poorest of all...'coz I don't have most precious thing in my life...My Mom!". He said this & wrapped around Khushi, crying bitterly...Khushi caressed his head, & cried with him.
I love you Mom! Whatever I am its 'coz of you! Thank you Mom!
Love,
Gazal
