Pragya did not know how she got home. All she remembered was running out of the hospital, her vision blurred, and somehow she was here. In her room, her back against her bedroom door, knees to her chest as tears streamed down her face, which seemed like they would never stop.
Saritaben had seen Pragya run into the house and lock the door, all the kids were already in their college. So Saritaben had knocked on the door for a good five minutes, asking Pragya what was wrong. After getting no response from Pragya, she eventually gave up.
Pragya couldn't stop crying no matter how hard she tried. She kept thinking about the events that had taken place. She had met her daughter, her youngest daughter, her baby. She was hurt and instead of comforting her and telling her that everything will be okay, Pragya had run away.
Pragya could never forgive herself for doing that. But in the heat of the moment, Pragya reacted as anyone would. Because as Pragya was stroking her daughter's hair in the hospital, Riya and Abhi's words had span in her mind.
While at the hospital, Pragya remembered how Riya said that she hated her mother, and how she never wanted her mom to come back into her life. Pragya had gotten scared that her daughter would say the same thing to her, that her daughter would tell her to leave, Pragya's heart wouldn't be able to handle that.
While at the hospital Pragya also remembered how Abhi had told her that he would never let her meet her daughter, that she would never get to be with her daughter. And Pragya knew that if she had seen her daughter's face she wouldn't be able to bring herself to leave again. Her heart couldn't bear another separation from her child.
So Pragya had done the first thing that came to her jumbled mind, and she had run away like a coward.
"I'm sorry my baby." Pragya thought out loud.
"Mumma is so sorry. I didn't want to leave you like that. But I was too scared to face the truth. So I ran, I couldn't bear it if you hated me, I couldn't bear to leave you again if I knew what you looked like now. Even if we never meet again, I will live happily because of the few minutes I got to spend with you. I will live remembering the feel of your soft hair which looks black from a distance but has hints of red when you look closely. Mumma didn't forget you and I will never forget you, you will always be in my memory. I just hope that one day you can forgive me for leaving you." Pragya said, her voice cracking with emotion as more tears came from her eyes. Unable to do anything else but yearn for the child she had never known.
