Babu and I didn't realize when we reached our home's main door, that she was talking about her convarsation with her teacher.
I unlocked the door and we both stepped inside the house, then locked it from the inside.
Then I asked, "Babu, now tell me, are you feeling some relief after the chat with your ma'am?
I can see your smiling face and I think the heavy loud in your head is gone now, after sharing your thoughts with your ma'am. "
She said," You can say so, first time in my lifetime I found someone, who was listening to me and understanding me as a best friend does, with out passing any judgements."
I took a deep breath and said," Haa, now I am feeling some relief, Since morning I was so stressed out that I think, I did not even breathe properly.
Anyway, Babu, quickly change your dres come to the dining room, I did not had yet."
"Ok, I am coming," Babu said.
Then we had lunch together and enjoyed watching our favorite cartoon show on TV.
But at the same time, we both were aware of each other's mental situations. We(mother and daughter) both have so much on our minds to discuss and make some decisions for our next steps.
After having lunch, we went to our bedrooms for a little rest. waking up in the early morning at 5:00 and now the time is 3:30 in the afternoon, my body is demanding to take rest.
So I laid down on my bed and took a look at social media on my phone. There are reels I was watching, and I found four- to five knowledgeable and useful reels for us, so sent them to Babu's mobile phone.
Suddenly, Babu's voice came from her room, "Maa what are you doing, You sent enough reels for today, please stop it. Are you list Maa?"
I was smiling and sending reels one after another to tease her, knowing that she would come to me right now to stop me and scroll me.
As expected, Within seconds she came into my room and stood by my bedside, she said, "Are you going to stop or not?"
I said with a smiling face," Yeah, yeah, see l already stopped."
She said," Oh God what will I do with my childish mother!"
Then I said in a serious mood," Babu, our discussion is not finished yet, so tell me - what was your teacher's final advice for you?"
Babu said, " I was going to take a nap, Anyway, now I will tell you the rest of the story -..
Ma'am took a deep breath and said, "I understood dear, You and your mom have been fighting your battle all along.
And I know that no one will be able to understand your story or label of pain you are
in because they have never gone through this much.
In a situation like this, I can say that you have a great and positive personality, so don't bother yourself too much.
And you must achieve a successful and happy life in the future.
You are a law student so you know the rules better than others do. Your opponent may seem more powerful than you but you will never lose hope for victory."
Then ma'am petted my cheeks and said with a smile,
"Hrishekesa listen dear I know that you wish your mother's freedom and also a happy life for her and right now you are feeling helpless and so depressed seeing her in the condition she is facing now.
I think she is bearing all the pain and only wants to see you lead a life with great success, joy, and peace.
Please, dear, you have to stay strong eno yourself and also for your mother's shake...d
I know you can do it."
Ma'am was talking, then suddenly the last bell for today's ring.
I said," Ma'am it is already leave time, the last bell rang. "
Ma'am said, "Oh it is! But Hresekesha, I will say you are always well come, I am here to help and support my students. I am always free to hear you.
Do you feel better now? Or if you have more to tell me, we can talk for one more hour. "
I said," No ma'am, I am feeling better now.
And ma'am my Mom will be waiting for me by the school gate, so I should go.
Thank you, ma'am. May I go now?"
Ma'am said, "Yes you can go now but after reaching your home if you feel uncomfortable, anytime you are free to make a phone call to me. Will you remember this?"
I said, "Yes ma'am".
Ma'am said," That's my good girl".
I said goodbye to Ma'am and headed to my classroom, In front of the classroom, my friends were waiting for me with my backpack.
Seeing me coming they were so happy and at the same time were excited to know what was happening, and why I was in the counseling room for two hours.
I only said to them, that I was depressed about some family issues so Ma'am was doing counseling for positive outcomes.
And then they all tried to cheer me up on their way and avoided discussing the topic.
I said, " Babu, you have good buddies, they care for you a lot."
"And I am so happy that, in this school, you meet with your favorite kind of teachers, ".
Babu said, "Absolutely right, I have neve thought that I would have so many loving
friends, and it was beyond my imagination that I would talk with my teachers so frankly.
I swear, I never imagined this happening to me, but I am so happy for the support, love, and care I am receiving from them."
I said, "God's grace"
Our mother has a perfect plan for us, so keep faith in her,
Once again I would like to remind you that without her permission we can't take even a single breath. The joy, the hassle, and the bustle of everything in life will fall at the right time."
