THE DRAMATIC LOVE AND HATRED

Chapter - 22 - Mother's Love

Steev's POV :

Happily with tears in my eyes I said, “Thank you for showering me with lots of loving and caring words. I am blessed to hear them.” “These are not just words, I really mean them.”, Said Shika.

“Yes I am sure about it Shika.”, I said. “Yeah me too.”, John added.

There was a emotional and silent environment created where we three stared at each other with emotional and sentimental manner yet with lots of love and care in our eyes and heart.

“Okay now let’s move from serious talks and head towards some enjoyment. What say?”, I said loudly.

“Yes obviously, let’s have some fun now.” John said. And Shika nodded her head and agreed with me.

“Here is the dish which I prepared it today by myself. Please taste it and tell me how was it. Give it to mom too.”, I said while giving the packed tiffin box in her hand. “Yes sure. Thank you for this. You came all the way here to give me this, I am very happy.”, Shika said with a cute smile on her face.

“Let us all sit together and have food come let us go to the dining room.”, Shika added.

“Yes sure”, I said and we moved towards the dining room. It was a beautiful room with decors and the table was arranged with yummy looking food as well. “Did you also prepare food.”, I asked.

“Yes I thought that we can have food together so I also prepared some things.”, she replied.

“It was not necessary, Shika.”, said John. “That is alright. Let us not be formal and just enjoy the food.”, Shika said. “Sure, thank you”, John replied. As we all sat down to have food Shika’s mother also joined us. It was so good to see her joining us. After Shika’s words, I started seeing my mother in Shika’s mother. I got a motherly vibe while I saw her mother. That feeling was a special one. That exact feeling of mother when she is close to us. Not every person gets to feel and knows to appreciate the importance of mother and her love. It can be explained only from a person who misses mother’s love and touch. However I was on cloud nine on that day about many things.

“Hi Mom!! Look I have prepared a dish today and I brought it for you and Shika. Please taste it and let me know how does it taste.”, I said to Shika’s mother.

“Wow great my dear son, I was very excited to taste it from the time when Shika informed me that you are going to bring it for us.”, Mom replied. “Thank you for calling me your son, Mom.”, I said and tears started rolling down from my eyes. That was a very special moment for me. My mother was everything in this for me and I felt that I met my mother. “Steev! What happened ? Why are there are tears from your eyes? Please tell us what is the matter?”, Shika showered her questions as she was very much worried. “Shika calm down. The tears are happy tears. He is happy to listen your mother calling him Son.”, John explained Shika. He knew me so well. He would understand me just by my actions. “Oh I see, ha ha.”, said Shika. “I am happy to know that you are happy.”, Shika added.

“He is a cry baby. Isn’t he?”, John said and laughed out loud. “Yes yes indeed.”, Shika joined him. And then both of them started laughing. I forgot all the tears and I too joined and started laughing with them.

It was a very beautiful and amazing day. Such amazing days are something which we can never forget and it permanently stays on our mind as beautiful memories.
