Part17 RK childhood tragedy
RV feeds his mother and than she sleeps on his lap grabbing doll in hand and sings lullaby to it
RV looks at his mother and that torn doll. In 25 years his mom hardly changed 4 to 5 dolls all worn and torn out and secretly changed by RV when shes asleep. She has assumed that that doll is her baby in womb which died 25 years back. RV caresses his mothers hair.
As a 6 year old kid RV had grown up suddenly into head of his family taking care of his sick mother after losing his father and family and their business. Luckily Garima bua went and got them to her home in Mumbai from delhi. From than on RV life was tough getting up at 4am putting papers in others houses at 5am, working in shop as assistant from 4pm to 11pm in Mumbai in school days. This to make money for his studies, school uniform and medicines and hospital visit of his mother plus giving 3k to his uncle for house expenses to stay at buaji house. RV never had a childhood unlike other kids. But atleast he and his mother had roof over their head and Graima bua’s hand over their head.
Pratap uncle and his kids hated RV and his mom staying at their house.Only Yug was loving to Raj and played with him. But not Aliya and Amar or Vijay and ajay. After few years Rima aunty became widow and came with her kids Ajay and Vijay to stay with them. Before they came Pratap and Graima stayed in one bedroom and kids in another. And RV slept with his mom in main hall. After Rima aunty family arrived Rima aunty and Aliya stayed in one bedroom and Pratap and Garima in another. The 4 boys slept in main hall and RV and his mom shifted to kitchen floor to sleep. But Rv never felt bad about being treated as second class over other kids, all he aimed is to take care of his sick mother and study and become a big enough man to destroy the person who destroyed his family.
Garima aunty became his choti ma or another mom. But it was Gunjan who truly considered RV as family and loved him like a true sibling. But for RV,Gunjan was always his baby his daughter who brought joy in his wretched life. Gunjan even loved Savitri aunty, his mother and never avoided her like other kids of family because shes unwell and could get violent sometimes. In trauma she had forgotten everything and her mind remained 25 years back only. Even as 3 year or 4 year old baby Gunjan would be playing with Savitri mom or her telling lullaby to Savitri aunty and making her sleep on her lap or combing her hair or decorating her with biindis and ornaments like little girl babies did.
Gariam Bua took care of Savitri her bhabhi like a sister. Initially Savitri was admitted in a mental asylum for treatment for few years. But later on Savitri came to live with Garima family home. RV got additional responsibility of taking care of his mother feeding her, taking her to hospital and her basic duties too. Instead of Savitri becoming his mother, RV became Savitri’s mother and father both. But RV got another mother in form of Garima, he called her too Mom too. Garima and Gunjan love worked as balm for RV tough life
