Finding the Lost Souls (Watty 2018)

A PROMISE ✔

Hey Amma, look at your grandsons. They trouble me a lot, just like your son in law but I know they will love me the way your son in law does. I can't believe how days passed Amma, I'm already a mother of 20 days old twin boys and the feeling is beautiful. As I became the mother I started to understand your concern behind your scolding, I know if you would be with me you must have said same. The feeling of being a mother and getting a mother is incredible.

It's true that I miss you a lot today, I miss having you at my back especially in these days but Amma my mummy Ji is no less than you, her care and concern makes me feel like you're with me. I never get time in the past due to my health and babies but today I want to congratulate you on becoming Paati.

Ishayu and Iaan ki Paati.

Ishita wiped her tears looking at her descended mother frame, it's more than a decade she lost her mother, the circumstances made her used to live without her but sometimes she couldn't help to think about her, remember her and today was one such day. In the rainy evening, alone in her room with her sleeping twins her heart couldn't help but think about her mother whom she lost long back. She doesn't have anyone left from her parental side and the void prick her sometimes. She wiped her eyes looking at her sons sleeping next to her, the two who fulfilled the vacuum of relations which they had lost. They gave her everything which she wished; a mother in form of her mother in law, a father in form of the father in law and her husband, the best man she can ever wish to have. She became overwhelmed recalling the days after her marriage and her eyes filled with tears of happiness. She scooted herself close to sleeping babies and she wounded her hands protectively around there little bodies, continued to admire them. She softly caressed Iaan tiny fists with her forefinger and he wrapped his fist around her finger making her smile. Her little Iaan is just like her husband, impatient and short-tempered, hates to sleep just like his father, demands constant attention if he is not with his father other side Ishayu is a calm boy, just need her mere presence. A calm and composed boy, the one who just mirror her characteristics.

She smilingly placed her cushion near there bedding, closed her eyes briefly started to think about the important event which needed her attention.

"Do you know what we have to celebrate tomorrow? It's something special. It's about Papa's birthday, Ravan Kumar birthday. His first birthday as Ishayu and Iaan Papa. Right shona...will you help Mumma?"

Raman birthday is nothing less than a celebration for her and she loved to make his birthdays special for him, with passing years they had faced so many ups downs but nothing had affected there love. Started as a stranger they became parents now, the journey was short but extraordinary in its own, each hurdle strengthened there to love and respect more.

And this year it's more special, the presence of Ishayu, Iaan, Mummy Ji and Papa Ji going to make it memorable. She was thankful for Mihir who listened to her request and going to keep Raman busy till night, providing her sufficient time to prepare for the day. She kissed Ishayu and Iaan softly and called Neelu to help her. She decided to keep the decor simple for the celebration. As Neelu came into her room she took her in the nursery and they started to prepare for the celebration.
