THE FEAR

What is my fear? Talking to a stranger? Naah...Giving a speech in front of hundreds of people? Naah...My death? Naah... Let me tell you...

Coming back from school , school bag on my shoulder as a ten year old boy ringing the door bell and neighbour comes out to give me the keys "shourya your mom is not at home she has given me the keys you can enter home now." What! Where is my mom ? I want to see her and my heartbeat starts increasing...I enter the home search everywhere for her and then makes a phone call..."Mummy where are you I am very hungry please come back home fast." Hungry? Huh...At that time , time was still , brain stopped working and body got chills...Waiting for her in the balcony roaming here and there just waiting to see her shadow coming...Finally she is back home...I hugged her tightly telling again that please give me lunch but at that time my heart was so relieved seeing her face that my hunger was gone forever...

Few days later

"Mummy where is papa? Isn't he late today?" 

"He already came back home then went to hanuman ji temple in Connaught Place."

Again that ten year old boy shocked and scared , again waiting in balcony to see the headlight of scooty in the street. Many vehicles passed every time giving me hope it's my father but I have to wait long...Making ten to fifteenth phonecalls asking him where are you? His phone got switched off...that moment was like my heart stopped beating. Mom used to say don't disturb him he will be back he is with a friend he is safe. That thing relieved me not because of he was with a friend but because now I can call on the friend's mobile. Making two or three calls on his number finally papa was back... I hugged him tightly like I want him always be there in my arms..."Papa where  are the sweets you bought from the shop?" Sweets? How can I have sweets at that time...That was just a line which I said to change the environment of house , but inside I was broken and relieved at the same time....

Other fears are nothing in front of loosing your lifelines.... Respect that you have them in your life...I can never express how much I love you mummy papa I'll always try to become a good son in your eyes.♥️
