Lets meet again as strangers

PRESENT

At 02.00 am, still HM is laying on the couch with teddy and all the past things are running in her mind, along with her guilt

"Stupid"

"Stupid"

HM gets up from the couch as she heard her mother's voice, she moved near to her photo, while keeping the teddy in her hand

"Why are you like this? Don't worry about anything. You didn't do anything wrong. Just I am overreacted after seeing my grand child crying. Now, Go and Sleep" NMS said

"I am worried Ammi" HM said

"Ammii, then you are worried for sure. Tell me, what is bothering you now?" NMS asked

"What if, she ask me to return Ziddique to her" HM asked worriedly

NMS looked at her and her hands which has teddy, and said "So, you are thinking only about her"

"No,, and yeah, I was thinking and I am thinking to move to kolkata again. As I don't want to stay here anymore, which affects my peace" HM said

"Why are running away from everything like this, you doesn't meet her right. Even you don't know, you will meet her again or not. And also, if you meet her by any chance, I don't think she will remembers us, because if she knows us, then definitely by this time she tried to meet us right" NMS said

"May be, she doesn't know, where we are, because we completely shifted to kolkata, right" HM said

"So, I am right. You are thinking only about her" NMS said. HM starred at her

And NMS continued with a smile "Don't worry about anything. Because your worries can't change anything which is going to happen. So, face anything whichever comes in your way. I am here for you. Just keep only one thing in your mind, you are not alone, you have your daughter with you. For her, you have to behave well"

"Now, Go and sleep with my grand daughter. She is sleeping alone in room" NMS said and looked at teddy and said "Before going to sleep, put this teddy above the cupboard or else your daughter will take this, then don't blame her, if you want to safeguard this, you have to keep this safely"

HM smiled at NMS and left from there

NEXT DAY MORNING

HM wakes up from her sleep and looked at her daughter's legs which is on her stomach. She caressed that for sometime, and took her and made her lay on her stomach and started to caress her head to wake her up

"Good Morning Baby" HM said, while waking up her daughter, who already wake up from her sleep, but in no mood to respond to her mother

ZNM just buried her face more into HM's stomach, so that she can avoid her mother

"Aww.. My baby is very much angry on me, she doesn't want to show her face to me" HM said, while continued to caress her head

"Okay baba, I am sorry, I don't repeat this again. Now look at me" HM asked

"Okay, no issues, if you don't talk to me, then I will ask Rani Maa to send you in school bus, to your school"

"Even, I thought of buying some big teddy, that too three numbers for you, while dropping you at school"
