His Chaste Bird

SiyaRam🧡

21 May , 1995

A 17 years old girl , standing in front of lord Ram's idol , chanting the mantras nervously. Her long eye lashes covering her deep brown eyes. The soft glow on her face , was making her more beautiful. Her eyes opened when she heard someone calling her. She looked the idol briefly , bowing her head she ran towards the hall of her house where her family was sitting. She looked her father with lots of hope and he smiled at her. His smile was enough to tell her the answer of all her questions. She jumped in excitement but quickly composed herself and feeling everyone's gaze on her only. Her aunt walked towards her and said , "Today you make us very proud. We knew it." She smiled more widely and hugged her aunt tightly. Her uncle too caressed her head lovingly. Her father walked towards her and spoke , "I am proud of you , ladoo. Congrats." He said and went out of the hall with his uncle.

Tears welled up in her eyes but she immediately soaked them in her eyelids and thanked him. Her cousins ran towards her and hugged her. Her sister spoke excitingly , "Finally ladoo. Now did it. I love youuuu"

"Ladoo. Look I made your favourite sweet dish for you. Now open your mouth." Her aunt fed her lovingly. She excused herself and again went in the temple.

"Thank you so much. I am very happy. All because of you!!" She said smiling in front of the idol.

A 17 years old boy , stood in front of the mirror and glanced himself. His honey brown orbs , sparkling. He smiled confidently and adjusted his collar properly. He walked downstairs and hugged his mother. She was surprised by a sudden hug and rotated his ear.

"Maa!!" He whinnied and she smiled leaving his ear. She brought a morsel near his mouth and he gladly took it. They both sat on the dining table and she fed him lovingly. Both were talking to eachother , when his father cleared his throat for attention. Both mother-son smiled and his mother spoke , "You started again!" His father sat beside her and said , "Why not ? Your son always snatches all my attention." He complained like a child and they both laughed on his complaint.

"Then go to your daughters." His mother said ignoring him and he sulked like a child and said , "Ok. Once my daughters will be back then I will tell you both."

Once again a laughter erupted at the dinning table. He stood up from his place took his school bag and hurriedly left seeing the time.
