Shanaya was pleased to see her mother when she arrived to stay
back with her for a week. After hugging
her Shanaya tears dropped, this was unusual as Shanaya and her parents lived in
same city and would meet often. Shanaya’s
mother Madhulika sensed something was not right with her daughter. Madhulika
was a lady with a strong aura and was leading professor of soft skills before
her retirement.
Shanaya’s son Yuvin made Madhulika visits her daughter more
often these days, but this visit was not for Yuvin it was for Shanaya, as she
could make out that Shanaya is worried over something and was not sharing.
Madhulika was waiting for the right time to talk to her daughter. Shanaya very carefully prepared meals for her
15-month-old toddler and instructed her helper for each task with minute
details. Her mother knew how perfectionist is Shanaya but some thing was taking
toll on her.
When Yuvin was taking afternoon nap Shanaya
sat with her mother to chat and simultaneously switched on laptop to book tickets
and hotels for their upcoming vacation with her son for the first time after
Yuvin was born.
Madhulika asked Shanaya, “What happened Sanu”, she called Sanaya
Sanu with love.
Shanaya took few seconds and said “Nothing Ma”, and peeped into laptop
with more confusion.
