A Proud Mom and Son

She was a very strong woman.Her husband died 25 years back in a war,Fighting for India.He left behind his memories and their son with her.She was not sad but proud that her husband sacrificed his life for the good of the country.
He was only 5 when his father died.Then onwards,she was his father and mother.She wanted him to be a proud soldier of India following his father's footsteps."I will more medals than him".He used to tell her when he was in 5th standard .She would become so proud that,it would bring the memory of her brave husband that used to fell down as tears.

He Joined Army after his graduation.She had become old by then.She was alone in that big house.But still she took the courage from the pride that her son is fighting for the country,protecting its citizens.

But world turned upside down on that day when she heard that news.Her son is captured for a fake encounter and killing 5 people.He was caught along with 5 other people.Circumstantial evidence was strong enough to make even the mother believe it.It was a drama scripted by his supervisor who got jealous by his remarkable performance.In fact he had some enemity with his father also--That too played its part.But nobody knows it except those 6 people who were caught.Supervisor was experienced enough to create evidences without any loopholes.

She was looking at those medals all through the day."I will get more medals than him".That 10 year old boy is no more in the frame.But why did he do it?.They say it was for money with evidence.

Next night,they talked over the phone.He was unstable emotionally and he didn't know what to say to convince her mother.She was strong and firm in her words and was speaking as though delivering a final verdict to the murder convict.

She died the very next day out of mental stigma.Coincidentially or what,verict came the very same day.

Our principle of Judiciary,We should not punish a single Innoscent person even if we leave alone 1000 criminals,once again won the battle.He was acquitted.

After the verdict he came to see his mother for the last time.His emotion was not sadness but he was feeling guilty even though he was acquitted.He couldn't convince his mother of his Innoscence before she left the world.

He saw those medals once gain. "I will get more medals than him"..He wanted to say it loudly.He looked at his father's picture,he might have left with the world with the satisfaction that his son would do the Job for him.Then he looked at his mother's body and she?.She left the world seeing his son..?.

Sona,his uncle's daughter came the next day only.She went to meet him at his house.She was not sure how to face him.

He was lying on the floor and when she ran to him she could see blood dripping down from the left side of his head.It was all over the room.
"He is dead Long Back"..

There was a note left behind which said "mom,Defnitely I will win more medals when you are there to see"

Late to Bed....Late to Rise!!!

Today I Have to wake up @ 9 am.Yeah I know its early,but can' help it.I have to be in office at 11 .My friend is already bathing.Their office timing is from 10.30.Not much difference .Ha ha! everyone enjoys life.2 of our friends leave home by 7.30.Ho!That reminds me of yesterday's hard work.We prepared the lunch and breakfast by 3 am and in fridge by 3.30.But we enjoyed it,infact we are enjoying it.During my college days also I used to sleep at 3 and can't sleep till then.The chit chat and cooking till 3 is really funny and the best part is you can go to bed with no fear of alarm with everything in place even the ironed dresses.I reach office by 11.30.

She might have reached by 11.What should be our plan today?hmmm lunch outside.I pinged on messenger. "Lunch outside?" She pinged back "You didn't bring tiffin today?". I replied "Who cares?".Lets go out.Some of you might have raised eyebrows.Who is she?.I wont tell you atleast now."So whats the plan after office?We will go to beach or film.Today some new movie is released."She was looking like she liked both.We are good friends.I can read even her slightest gestures.So we went to beach.Cool breeze was blowing.Nice evening!All evenings are nice ever since She is with me.I brought a red rose and gave it to her.Yeah it was so casual as my words.I don't know the exact number of roses I have given her but I always the remember the first time when I gave her.My hands were shivering.One or two petals fell down I guess.Everytime I smile thinking of that and everytime she gives a romantic smile in return .I feel like she gives 100 roses everytime.

Life is not hectic.I don't know why people always love those things which we can't get even if that is as weird a term as 'hectic'.Yeah truly I would love to understand that term

My day starts at 7 when I look at Clock and see the time and go back to sleep again.Then in office ,longing for lunch with her.Then Lunch with her.Again wait for the evening.Together we will wait for the auto rickshaw to beach.Lovely evening with only that rose in between two of us.After that Ice cream.I am not sure whether I enjoyed my college life this much.

Sometimes she scolds me as if I am a kid.Sometimes I advice her as a father.Or sometimes we mimick each other like friends.We argue each other like a sister and brother.But among all these things the sure thing is that red rose.That will happen before we catch the auto to our home.

We have to reach home by 8.By that time the other two friends might have come back after tution.Yeah,We have 2 kids :one is in sixth and one in 1st.After preparing and eating dinner.Its time to prepare everything for tomorrow.Seemingly hectic but funny work till 3 after finishing the movie.

So its all set for tomorrow,Everything is in place.No alarms,No Worries.I will wake up @ 9 and she,I think 8.30 !!!:P..Anyways she is late ,she reaches by 11 only.
