My Unknown Cousin

chapter 4

Flash back

As my amma made her way towards outside every one seeing her as she made a crime. My mom just ignores that stares and she just focus on her priorities.

"Anitha, her husband just died 2 months back and see her how she shamelessly roaming around with out any grief"! Meenakshi aunty exclaims .

"Vammo really Meena akka (sister) how she shamelessly walking around with out sitting in the home and mourning."anitha aunty said.

My mom listens to them but she didn't want to bullied by others and she knows once she gets bullied this thing continues .so my mom made her way towards me . They are continuously watching my amma .

"Chaitu ,close the door ma dogs are barking here . Just ignore the dogs beta most times dogs are more loyal than human beings right Anitha"! My mom said.

"Ha haaa". anitha aunty awkwardly went towards her home.

After listening to their talk I feel like "women are only biggest enemies for another women". They didn't even once think that how can a single mother and her daughter survive with out food.

That day I see another version of my mom .she always talk less and she didn't even feel to reply others . But that I understood that now onwards she take place of my dad who usually protects us .

I went to my room and lay down on my bed.once again I lost in my memories .

When I was in third standard my nanna wants me to learn cycling.So he made me sit on the seat and he titly hold the back seat .He teach me how to peddle a cycle. He teaches me like that for 2 days.On third day while teaching me he just leave his hand. I thought that my nanna was there with me but when I see my back my nanna is far away from me and I alone riding my cycle. I got panicked and suddenly I fell down.

My nanna rushed towards me and he saw the scratches on my hand and leg and my tears rolling down my eyes. His eyes welled up and he decided not to teach me cycle and he daily drop me at my school till now.

My tears are rolling down on my face and the worst part is my father is not there with me to wipe it. It hits me hard .

End of flash back

Everyone In our lives will have a last day with us and we even don't when it would be. I sigh heavily.

Time may pass ,the place even change but the memories are still fresh and they are with us forever.
I don't know when I get sleep while thinking all those memories.

Next morning me ,amma and sanjana are busy checking for acceptance letter from college.we both got an accepted letter from Vivekananda University which is top most prestigious college in India which is located in Mumbai.

We check about the fee and I have to pay only for my accommodation as my rank in jee is quite good. While sanjana have to pay money according to her rank . She is willing to pay because we both are going to be study together.

Amma congratulate me and made payasam ( a sweet dish) to both us . We ate happily and sanjana is planning about how we roam around the city and how we are going to enjoy our college days.

"Sanjana stop blabbering. We don't even know how it's going to be and there and here you already are deciding how to enjoy". I said to her.

"Chill papa(child) . Why are taking unnecessary stress. Don't think so much and enjoy raa." She said while looking me.

"I don't know ra". I said while getting up from my bed.

"I don't know how I'm going to live with out my amma knowing that she always worries about me" . I said to sanjana

"Hey don't worry ammamma and tatayya ( paternal grandmother and grand father) are coming to stay here with amma right "! Sanju asked me.

Ha Sanju amma call them 10 days back to inform them that to come and stay with mom while I was away from her to study.

"Then what's the issue ra "?. She asked me

"Nothing". I Said to her

I don't know what future holds for me and how I am gonna face it.
