You must have heard this many times- "You only get to know the importance of something when you've lost it" Yes you do and when the time comes, it totally shakes you and mostly if it' the reason why you exist in this world.
My mother - she's beautiful- not the beautiful which catches your eyes suddenly but the one which needs proper examination closely with a conscience which knows how simple things make up the most extra-ordinary things in the world. You need to know why the lines and wrinkles took place on her face
Yes we have a unstable relationship full of debates, laugh and gossiping which just goes on unbalancing moment by moment, but that's what life means right? unbalancing the equation because somewhere you need to gear up with someone to make the both sides equal.
I got to know her importance when I was just 10 years and some months older. She was hospitalized for a fit that she had and I was just beginning to come to my senses. I didn't cry when my mother was at risk 'cause I had my li'l sister to check upon. I had to make her understand what's going on. I never cried! Never! I don't know why but the tears never came out. I was confused at that time- whether I'm being strong or its just my ignorance that I couldn't understand the situation. Things just got finished with a 7 hour operation and I got a chance to visit her in the hospital.
I was shocked, frightened and surprised to see her bald head with her wrinkled eyes smiling at me. I sat a li'l away 'cause I was scared. That's when my tear ducts came to senses and I wanted to cry but I didn't 'cause I didn't wanted her to see her strong daughter cry in front of her just because of a simple tumor.
When she came back home, she missed her long and black hairs. She asked me what can I do to make them regrow. Well, the doctors said there's really a minute possibility that the hairs will come back 'cause radiation does damage the roots which in turn damages the follicles. She told me to search on the 'internet' and find something. There has to be something. She wanted it so much.
But the miracle happened and my mothers hair were regenerating again. she was happy but sad with their volume because it wasn't the same as before. So I used her own line saying -
BE Happy With What You've Got.
Today, she's happy but still keeps on nagging about her hair. and I keep saying "you look beautiful" Luv you maa! Smile always.
