Reason to Love

"The sign of great parenting is not the child's behavior. The sign of truly great parenting is the Parent's behavior."-Andy Smithson.

As soon as the video ended she could not hold the pain back anymore she sobbed miserably burying herself into embrace of her aunt who also cried silently for the girl in her embrace.On the other hand Sridhar was crying inwardly not showing his grief to his lovable ladies in order stay strong for them.He still could remember the day when his sister brought a bundle of joy in her arms returning from vacation,he can never forget the happiness and satisfication the couple held in their heart and the twinkling of love and joy in their eyes for the baby was immense.Being an orphan was a painful and vulnerable if not for his sister who acted as a mother to him after his parents death he could not explain how would he have survived. He never felt his niece as an orphan who was like a pleasant rain in a dry desert, he forgot the fact that Aadhira was an orphan until seeing this video even though it will not change anything in their relationship.

He looked down at her who was crying her heart out in his wife's lap he slowly took his hand to her head and caressed it.After sensing his touch she immediately threw herself into her uncle's embrace. He whispered soothing words while hugging and caressing her hair.

After few hours,

Aadhi excused herself from her uncle and aunt that she wanted some rest and alone time and they obliged her.She laid on her back on the bed staring nothing particular at the ceiling.Everything rewinded in her brain such that she has her own recording and screen of that video.She did remember each and every word of her parents she couldn't help but her tears seemed in no way to stop right away.She is unable to accept the fact that they are not her biological parents she wish it could be some nightmare but possibly it is not,hearing it from her parents she cannot deny that she realized somewhere in her heart that it is the truth,may be if she did know this truth from a stranger she would have definitely thought that the person is manipulating her.

Whatever the reason is she cannot overcome the love for them, they are the best parents one can ask for,they gave her colours, they provided her with wings of freedom, they taught her all the ethics and values for a better life,their endless love had brought strong determination into her that they will remain the same for her whether they are her biological parents or not. She is going to get rid off from that real fact, for her and the entire world she is their one and only daughter.

But...she also wanted to know her biological parents,are they bengali or from some other place?How would they look like?Did they search for her?Do they miss her?she has now numerous doubts flowing in her little brain.Some where deep she wanted to see them and know them.She is completely depressed by this sudden blow in her life but she is not going to remain the same as she was for these past six months.

Yes! she had realized it because it will make her parents happy if she move on, she is going to take her effort to make her loved ones happy.
