Chapter 2: Mothers

"Choti... Choti wake up... It's your first day to college."

"Chachi... Please five minutes more?"

"No... Wake up... Your college is a long way from here."

Sighing to herself Sanjana woke up. How could she explain to Chachi why she wanted five minutes more in bed? How will she make her understand that she had just interrupted a wonderful dream? It was the same as always. She smiled to herself as she thought about that.

She was walking alone in the woods when he came and surprised her. They talked, laughed and danced till it was dark and she had to go home. He pulled her close to him, leaned close to her and...

"CHOTI..."

"I am coming... I am coming..."

Sanjana quickly got ready and rushed down. She knew her Chachi always liked to be punctual.

"Oooh... What a lovely smell? What are you making, Chachi?"

"Your favorite... Roti and Bhindi ki sabji and yes I made the roti with ghee... And the dessert is Kheer"

"Chachi... Why did you do this much? You could have called me... I would have helped you"

"Dear... Dear... Now don't get angry. Sit down and eat. I would have called you if I had any difficulties."

"Accha... No difficulties? Then from where did this burnt mark come from?"

"Woh... I... uh..."

"Chachi... Why don't you ever allow me to work? You treat me like a princess when I am not even one. "

"You are a princess"

"Uh?"

"You are MY princess, dear"

Sanjana looked at her aunt and her bright eyes filled with tears. She hugged her and kissed her warm cheek.

"I love you, Chachi"

"I love you too, Choti... Now hurry up and tell me how it is"

Sanjana nodded and took a piece of the food her aunt had so lovingly cooked for her. The taste was horrible as usual. The rotis were over burnt and the sabji was too hot to eat.

"How is it, Choti?"

"It's perfect Chachi... The roti is marvelous and so is the sabji. I love it"

"Oh... Thank you. Try the kheer and tell me"

Sanjana tried the kheer and tried to hide her smile. Her aunt had put salt instead of sugar again.

"This is the best kheer I have ever tasted"

"I am so glad you liked it... I have never cooked before you came into my life..."

"Chachi... You are an expert now. Okay... I must leave. I mustn't be late the first day"

"Of course... Goodbye love... And remember... If anyone asks you your name... Tell them it's Rose"

"Goodbye Chachi... mwaah"

Blowing a kiss and waving goodbye, Sanjana rushed off. Merryweather turned around trying to hide the tears. Her little girl had grown up. Now it was only a matter of a year or two and she will be gone from her life forever. She sighed silently and went to throw the food she had cooked into the dustbin. She knew it was very bad. If only she could learn to cook better.

...

"Dadi? Why are you working? I told you to rest, didn't I?"

"Shreya... When did you come? And this... is not work... Only a few small vessels to wash"

"I'll finish them... I could have easily done it... Why did you have to do all this by yourself? You were shivering from fever yesterday"

"Sweetheart I said I am fine... Now stop scolding me and tell me... Anything interesting happening in the castle?"

"Well... Prince Ajay is going to college for the first time today... So the entire palace is buzzing with activity... Take this, do this, bring that and so on"

"That's great... Now that the youngest is starting college, it won't be long before His Highness the King will name his heir to the throne"

"Hmm..."

"What are you thinking?"

"About college..."

"Your dream?"

"Yes"

"You found a way?"

"I talked to Bhushan..."

"Shh... Call him Little Master"

"No one is here now, Dadi"

"Even walls have ears. We must not take any risks. What did the Little Master say?"

"Well he couldn't talk to me... The King wanted to see him... but I am sure that he will find a way as always"

"Yes, the Little Master has always been kind to us... Oh Shreya, I only wish that I was able to do something. If only your parents were here all your dreams would have come true and you would have been happy"

Shreya stopped her work and went to Dadi. She slowly knelt down beside her and took her wrinkled arms in hers.

"Dadi, I AM happy now. And don't you ever think that you did nothing for me. Who took me in when no one else would? Who fed me by going hungry for days? Who worked so hard to give me time to study? Dadi it was you. If I have these dreams then it is only because you taught me to dream. You have done so much for me, Dadi. And you think I am not happy? I am the happiest girl in this kingdom"

"And I am the proudest Dadi in this kingdom..."

A loud bell interrupted their conversation.

"I have to go. Oh dear, I didn't finish the dishes."

"I'll finish them. Now go... I think the Little Master is calling for you"

"Yes... I think so too. Don't strain too much"

Placing a small kiss on her Dadi's old cheeks, Shreya ran to do her duties.

...

Ajay slowly entered his mother's room. It was beautiful yet so melancholy. He looked at the large bed in the centre of the room. He went near it. There she was lying on the bed as she had been lying for the past fifteen years without moving a limb. Ajay looked at her and wiped a lone tear off his face. It was all because of him.

He had been three years old when a war had broken out between them and the Gupta Kingdom. Being very little he had not known what a war meant. He had escaped the nursery and run out to see what was happening. His mother had rushed out trying to catch him and had slipped and fell off the terrace. The memory of his mother falling was still fresh in his mind. The family had accepted that it was an accident but he couldn't forgive himself. And the guilt ate him every day as he had been his mother's pet when she was healthy. No doctor was able to cure her and so she stayed completely paralyzed not able to move a limb.

"I am sorry, Ma. It's because of me you are like this."

He slowly took one of her lifeless hands in his and kissed it.

"Will you get up today, Ma? Today is my first day to college. I need you so much. I want you to get up hug me and say that everything will be fine. I want you to say you forgive me for making you suffer. Oh... Ma... Will you please get up today?"

Ajay put his head on her bed and sobbed loudly as a little child crying for his mother. He wished that her lifeless hands would once hug him and comfort him. But they couldn't. Had he looked up, he would have seen the tears flowing down from her closed eyes. He would have known that his mother was doing what the mothers round the world do when they didn't have any other way to comfort their child. She was crying with him.

Ah... Shanthi... What a lovely long comment *happy sigh*

This was supposed to be emotional 😊 ... Actually I had tears while writing the last chapter 😊 ... The beauty of a mother's love can never be expressed in words...

Thank you for your support... Next chapter will be a little more cheerful 😊

And for making you emotional... Can I give you a virtual diary milk treat? 😆
