"Cradle To Grave"

Ammi...

KS wiped her corner of eyes and captured that pure moment in her phone which she knew she will cherish her entire life...

KS didn't disturbed the mother daughter duo who were lost in to filling the pain of years of separation with tears & unspoken words.

HM cried her heart out on her mother's lap which she was holding back from years pretending to be strong infront of the whole world while all she wanted was to weep like a kid in her mother's lap.

Ammi wiped her tears and started patting her daughter's forehead, she wiped HM's tears with her dupatta

Ammi : bas bass beta bass...bas bohot ro liya ab meri beti nahi royegi...

HM tighten her grip on her mother's arms more as she wasn't able to control her emotions in that particular moment

Ammi wrapped her arms around her protectively as if she was trying to hide her daughter in her arms saving her from the evil world which she used to do when Haseena was just a mere kid..

Ammi controlling her emotions : haseena apni ammi ko ek bar dekho to sahi..

HM shook her head in no as if she was scared that if she let go of her mother's arms her mother might disappear and her dream will shattered infront of her eyes..

Ammi obviously sense the fear in her daughter's heart afterall she is her mother..

Ammi : ham apko chor ke kahi jayenge Haseena aur naa hi aap sapna dekh rahi hai..

With her mother's assurance HM lifts her head little just so she can see her mother's face

Ammi : Ham yahi hai Haseena... aur naa hi ham apse naraz hai aur naa hi aap se gussa..

HM sobbing : aap...aap..ham...hamse gussa...naa...nahi hai ??

Ammi wiped HM's teary face with her pallu : nahi beta...ham apse naa kabhi naraz the naa kabhi naraz ho sakte hai...

HM was still sobbing with all the emotions flooding inside her making it difficult for her to form a word : aamm..aamii...vo..vo..aabb...abbuu...

Ammi didn't let her complete her sentence : ssshhh...shant meri bachi shant.. apki aami haina yaha..apki ammi apke samne haina..

HM shook her head like baby as if complaining about her father to her mom.

Ammi : bas beta bohot ro liya..dekh me tere liye kya layi hu...tuje mere hatho ki bani biryani bohot pasand haina dekh me sirf tere liye biryani aur kheer bana ke layi hu..

HM looked up to her ammi with fresh tears in her eyes threating to get their way out

HM : bi..bi.. biryani...

Ammi wipe HM's face again : aur kheer bhi...

KS came forward and flashed her toothy smile : ab agar biryani aur kheer ki baat ho Rahi hai to hame bhi ginyega..

Ammi chuckled at KS's remark and whispered so only KS can hear : tumahre liye bhi laye hai bas Haseena ko mat batana...

KS with her evergreen toothy smile : ammiii aap ne to dil jit liya...

HM wiping her tears : ham abhi plates leke ate hai aap yahi rukye..

Ammi : nahi beta tum ruko ham ander se leke ate hai. Aaj ham hi apko serve bhi karege aur apne hatho se khilayege bhi..

HM nodded with teary eyes and a sweet smile on her lips.

Ammi went inside and before KS can say anything HM ran into KS's arms.

HM hugged KS tightly wrapping her arms around her neck so tightly making KS chock on her breath..

KS with difficulty : Hass... Haseena jii..mar jayege ham...
