His life was like a sad melancholy! Deep wounds surfaced but when he dig he could see the beautiful fragments of his life, something no one would ever have, one such beautiful fragment which weaved his life was his Radha ma and he Radheya!
A faint smile crept on his face, his moist eyes were dreamy, and he kept his head on her lap and hugged her close as if never want to leave her.
Strange fear stirred in as he looked up the sky and saw a shooting star! Since childhood shooting stars used to scare him up, he feels as if the star is flying away, far and far away from its mother!
A bad omen it may be called, he never believes in such superstitions but today an unknown fear, the same childlike fear embraced him, making him embrace his mother even tighter!
"Radha ma! Don't leave me" he whispered!
There was pain in his voice, a deeply wounded pain, a kind of fear, fear of being separated from his mother!
"Why would I leave you" she said ruffling his hair affectionately
Yes! Why should she leave him, no one and nothing could separate him from his mother! Havocs happened, his world went upside down, ceaseless emotional turbulence continued to irk him yet his mother was always Radha ma who were by his side!!!
She sang a lullaby! The same lullaby which used to make baby Vasusena fall asleep!
Her soothing voiced was like a balm to all his pains! All those insults he bear throughout his life could only be soothed by her... all those emotional conflicts he faced...nothing could soothe his restless mind to peace except for his Radha ma!
He closed his eyes and let himself get lost in the melody of her song!
This night was most peaceful, most serene!
As he drooped off a tinge of unhappiness lurked in him! He wanted his Radha ma to ask something from him, a wish, a request, an order, something, she never wanted anything from him and today he longed her to want something!
He felt as if he would not be there again!!!
A long sigh and a deep pause!
Today, comfortable he slept like a baby wrapped in his mother's hands!
