Sindhu called from college. " Amma I am not quite well. Am heading home. Am in Dadar station. Will be home"
"Ok. Come, I would get your lunch ready" said I.
Plans rolled up in me about what to make. Together came this question whether I should have asked her to take a cab and travel safe. Anyway she has already taken the train.
Was in the midst of chanting, hence finished the round and went up to cook.
Dialled her number to check where she has reached and how she felt. She didn't pick up. Called again. Didn't pick up. Called again. Not taking. Now started feeling little worried, why she should not be picking up phone. Made some 10 futile attempts and went to whatsapp to see whether she is online. Texted her, yet no reply.
Kept calling non stop now. Called up hubby to say this is what it is. He said, (What would he say but to keep trying) "when she picks up call or reaches home inform me."
Sent a lot of prayers though praying for asking something was against my principle. Was getting worried.
But I can't get frantic. Balance is the rule of the mind. Should apply that right? SO thought if at all she gets too sick to walk or something (worst scenario) some soul would definitely help her and help me too, by connecting her to me. Where has my faith gone? Reaffirmed that Krishna my pet Lord wouldn't let anything wrong happen to my daughter if I believe He is my Protector.
Such varied emotions whirled inside me, but sure it did silence me, with whom would I anyway share this. I would only share the worry and leave them permanently worried about Sindhu.
Lot of things and with this worry, the green leafy vegetable got cleaned and cut nicely and was getting cooked along with other dishes for lunch, when this girl calls me from the door... Amma..
Relieved yet exasperated emotionally.
My greeting tone made her sense something sore. She took out her phone and saw 30 odd missed calls from me. She smiled and said," Amma after the recent mobile lost incident, I don't walk or travel with mobile in hand, I put it inside the bag"
I didn't know whether to chide or acclaim her. To be a mom, is like solving a Chinese puzzle.

Have you not informed Mani still?
ReplyDeleteDone immediately.
DeleteReally interesting, though it is a common thing happens often. We pray our favorite God and believe that HE only helped us.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes.
DeleteIt often happens with me. Vridhi calls and gives msg and keeps phone safely in bag so she don't loose it in auto and I keep on calling and worring how she can't pick up her phone just after few minutes of talking.
ReplyDeleteI too call up my sister and husband but now noted by doing so we just pass on our worries.
Just sending prayers is best option as rest is to be done by Lordships.
True.
