The promise and the pain of...
It was time of summers. I had a very great time with my elder sister and parents. We weren't rich but can afford a pleased life.On Sundays , my mother always took me to a park where we usually spend hours and hours talking to each other . Of course,she was a working lady and stayed busy at her work. But I never felt alone because she makes me ready for the school and pack my bag as well as the eating stuff , every morning.
Years passed away, I was 6 years old now.It was friday,25december.I woked up and looked all around the room .I was all alone .Then looked at the time -it was 10.00pm.There was a disturbing noice which was coming from the hall.I just peeped out there and saw that my parents were going somewhere with thier friends .I ran to ask my mother that where they are going but by the time I can ,they left the house.
My sister was sleeping in next room.I went to her and told that we are all alone in the house as mother and father are out .She didn't trusted me and was saying that mother must be in the garden and father in the kitchen as they can't leave us alone without informing us.I asked her many times that you can go and see that they are not here.As she was asking me to get out the room and let her sleep.But at last for making her trust on me ,I took "mother's oath ".She just ignored that and shouted on me. I was afraid of that mother's oath .I sliently moved out of her room and slept in my room with lots of strange dreams.
It was Saturday,26 December.I woked up.As I was very happy because tomorrow was my birthday and forgot yesterday's stuff.I took bath and got ready for the school .My school bus came in front of the house, so i was running as fast as i can. My tiffin was not yet ready and there was no one in the dinning hall.So I left out for the school by shouting "mother I am going".It was a strange morning for me .I returned home.When I entered the house ,I said"mumma I am back ".
But there was no reply.I shouted again "mummi where are you .See I am back .Again no reply.I just throw my back as usual on the sofa and went to my mother's room.I tried to make a knock on the door and whispered "mother,are u there.But there was no
response .I opened the door.
For the next moment, I was in a slient mode and saw my mother lying on the floor.My mind was full of negative thoughts but I tried to distract it.I got closer to her and kept my palm on her head.I woked her many times but she was not answering me.I said "mom sorry,for all my faults and from next time I will never take your oath.And my eyes were full of tears .I cried a lot.
There was a voice downstairs and many people were coming with a bed into the room.My father was crying and he made me aside .I was holding my mother's hand tightly .My father asked me to leave that hand but I refused.He shouted on me and that hand loosend forever. Then,my mother was transferred on a bed and I understood the situation .I went to my bed quietly and cried as much as I can because I thought that it was all my oath's mistake .
Next morning,it was Sunday morning and my 7 th birthday.There was a complete silence in the house .Then I went to the park where she always took me .I sat on the bench with my head down on the knees.
After 5 mins,I felt a cool breeze and a eesence of relief.As "what I saw in front of me was really amazing for me.It was her. She wished me happy birthday and said that do not keep any pain of that promise.She went forever with a smile .
