My son, I tried to tell you, and for that only I
came to you to stay with you, but when I found
out that you were in love with your love of life
and were struggling for your daily needs... I
chose not to say and not to become any burden
on you, but the same time I wanted to make
sure that this girl would take care of you the
way I did, and I got assurance when she fought
with me taking your side, when I shouted on you
once deliberately to test her, and she passed, I
realized that time, that you are in safe hands
and she will take good care of you, even if I am
not around you, so I chose to came back. You know my daughter.. (she looked at my love of life)..
Every girl is a mother.. but mother cannot give a birth to
motherhood.. in fact a child gives birth to a motherhood..
And this motherhood is a deadly weapon.. by which either
you can make your son's life or can destroy it.
Listen Son !! This is called life, at least I will die
happily, that I saw you both and my grand son
before my last breath... I was speechless !! and
was crying.. 'MAA!! YOU GAVE ME
EVERYTHING, YOU SACRIFICED YOUR LIFE
OVER ME, BECAUSE OF YOU I AM HERE
STANDING SUCCESSFUL, I SAW YOU HOW
SINGLE HANDEDLY YOU RAISED ME!! ? How
can I forget all that which you did it for me? "I
HAVE FAILED YOU MAA", "I WON'T BE EVER
BE ABLE TO REPAY YOUR DEBTS MAA", and I
well repent this all over my life that I did not
take care of you... I did not realize that you
needed me... I did not realize that my 'Maa' is
alone... I have failed you... and I won't be able
to come out of this feeling forever. She looked at me and said.. "My Son".. my love and
motherhood is not a debt on you.. motherhood is never a
debt but a blessings.. And I say thank you.. I was not so
great mother, but you made me one.. because you chose me
and my womb to come in this world and ignited a
motherhood in me.. You complete my family.. (She took a
deep breath by saying this..). I went her close and hugged
her tight and cried like a baby.. she wiped my tears.. and
again took a deep breath.. then she went silent....... I felt
some energy passed through my body and shook me from
inside, then I realized, it was her soul which left her body..
I cried louder and screamed.... The flashes of her images
came in front of my eyes, when she lifted me when I saw her
for the first time in this world.. I was crying and she was
happy... and the irony is that again I am crying and I could
see that same smirking smile on her face but this time more
calm and peaceful..
I just wish and tell you one thing that please take care of my
son and your son too.. raise him so well that he becomes
successful man like his father and achieve much much
bigger goals in life, but I want to warn you that, never bring
your motherhood in between his progress.. Love him, protect
him, shout him, hit him, but don't stop him by dreaming and
make sure he runs after his dreams to achieve it.
My son, don't say like this.. You know, your
father was also brilliant like you, he also had
dream and wanted to live his own life separately
with me and you as one, but the bondage of his
mother's motherhood was so tight that he
couldn't come out of it and he died with that
wish. I decide then only that I won't become any
hurdle in your dreams and your life, but will try
to support you in every capacity of mine. As her last riots were going on.. I prayed to God that.. "I
know you exists".. and I thank you that you brought me here
well before time, so that I could see my mother last time..
but I wish, you could brought me here long before.. But now
I realized the meaning of mother.. but its too late.. Now I
realize, why all the religions have given so much of
importance to a mother? Because, even God's need a
mother to born as a avatar to come in this world.
You have not failed me My Son, in fact you have
respected all the sacrifices done by me and
your father by achieving your dreams and
becoming a successful man. You would have
failed both of us as a parent, if you would have
not achieved your dreams. So be happy and
calm, because I am dying wit the satisfaction
my son. I whispered in my Son's ears that.. I could not do anything
for my mother but My son.. I wish you will take care of your
mother unlike me. I won't stop you to achieve your dreams
but, I will nurture you in such a manner that you will be
better in both. And Remember one thing "BECAUSE OF MAA
WE EXISTS IN THIS WORLD... AND NEVER FORGET
THAT... NO MATTER HOW SUCCESSFUL YOU ARE AND
WHERE YOU ARE..."
