It has been three days since the meeting and two days since priya came back. We went to her house which we already have keys of and as soon as she opened the door, me and radha sprayed water at her while she stood their in her drenched shirt fuming. Me and radha were laughing so hard at this. Even her husband was laughing and gave a high-five to radha and me while saying ' hilarious- wheezes- you- wheezes- must have seen - wheezes - your face'. She remained like that until i said sorry and then she went to shower and hen came up to us hugging and saying " i missed you so much ".
We stayed like that for an hour and then we cooked together relaxing entirely and then gossipped. While my son advik and priya's children arnold and bella played together with Frank supervising him or more like playing along with them. We just spent that day totally enjoying ourselves. We gossipped, we joked and then we cried sharing each other's thoughts about this society which is day by day being destroyed cruelly by the hands of ourselves. The people in this present society is totally fake that we don't even when a smile is genuine or fake. And people are destroying others with their words.
They say that ' words have the power to heal or break a person '. They repeat that sentence everyday. Every person in this society knows about this but then why again are they speaking without a care in the world and destroying people and hurting them. Today in this community people have more mental issues that physical . People are mentally tired of this. Why can't everyone just spread the love?
We discussed about this endlessly and then hugged each other giving support and strength to face this world. Because we have to fight our own battles but we also have to know that there will be always atleast a one person who care about us and they may not fight for us but they did have our backs.
It is surprising to say that it has been two days since that and now I am in my office thinking about this instead of doing work. So, I shook away those thoughts as I finished my company management and taxes paperwork which lasted for a two and a half hours. As I was about to go to lunch due to my loud roaring in my stomach. Thanks to god no one was there. I got a call from the team from Italy which I have sent on the work to Romano company.
I immediately lifted the call and momentarily forgetting about the food for a few minutes. We exchanged pleasantries and finally they told me for what they were calling.
"Mam we have problem with some technical errors in this building and we are really sorry to say this but you have to come to Italy mam'' they said.
I thought about it for a few minutes before agreeing to it because I know that the time limit is very short and this company's deal is a huge project for us. But the only problem was that I couldn't leave advik alone. So I decided to leave advik in priya's house. Because if I take advik with me he will the school and I couldn't let that. And I also know that in priya's house he will be safe and has someone to play with.
Even though it is a huge relief that Priya was their and their assurance on his safety, I couldn't help but feel sad and even despair. Because I don't when I will be coming back and so I also didn't know when I will be seeing him. I know that we both have separation issues. I feel anxious whenever he is not around me. Like I already said he is the only ray of Hope in my life. The only light in this abundant darkness of a life.
And now for worrying for my child the society called me pathetic. Then the society be damned because I love and care about my son so much to care about this distrustful society.
With that deep despair I made my way to my home. As soon as I opened door with heavy difficulty due to being in a wheelchair I heard his laughs and giggles. This immediately brought a smile on my face.
I made my way to his room to see him playing with the fishes in aquarium. Their world is much better than ours. With their thinking that being in that aquarium and thinking that it is the only world is much better.
Maybe that's why they say ignorance is a bliss.
A true fact indeed. As I made my way to him I gently brought him to me and kissed his forehead. This is love. The eternal and unconditional love. And I strongly think that this bond is much stronger than anything in this world.
" Advik, mama has to go to Italy tomorrow. You will be with Aunt Priya. Don't get into trouble. Don't avoid your academics and other than that you could do anything. " I gently but sternly said to him.
He nodded his head than told me to come early. I nodded me head and kissed his forehead. He always proves me that blood doesn't makes us family. He made me realize the fact that blood makes us relatives and not family. Family is something that we create. A irrevocable trust and an unconditional acceptance irrespective of our appearance and an eternal love until the last minute of our life on some people is called family. Those people are the one who is family.
So after that we cuddled with each other and then fell asleep with him in my arms with one thought that is that here I come Italy...
