Tinu yelled loudly.
" it's already 7, i m getting late"
Y she is going this much early? she know well that i takes time to get ready to go to farm.
"oh mom please do fast, y this much to get ready in that working DRESS don't know how to wear this, mommy.."
What she knows. it takes time to be an any dress. She just had the habit of jeans n tee shirt or skirt n tee shirt. but today what's wrong in there?
I hurried to her room. i am also getting late.
"ha ha, hey what's happened? m i dreaming?"
I couldn't control my laughter after seeing my daughter in half the way to dressing in a DRESS which she hates and made fun of.
"y are u looking at me like seeing first time? ah.."
Tinu felt sad since its mom's dress which wore in traditional functions or worn by young girls while going to temple. It was the birthday gift her mom bought on her 16th birthday. The "Dhavani dress (half Saree)" is very traditional Hindu wear to show the girl is matured and not yet married. But due to Tinu's hesitation to wear and made mom to wear many times.
"mom its very important day today.i cant be late. please; please help me."
She came close to mom and stood in the skirt and blouse holding the shawl.
mom looked her pretty daughter. "What is the matter for today? i never thought u wil ever touch this dress"
"aah? its my dress only na. i just not using. the rest of story i wil tel later." tinu told while mom arranging dress in proper way around her hip to shoulder.
"u look very pretty dear, boy will fall on u today"
"i dont want any boys to fall. Today shrein's B'day. i just want to surprise her."
seeing her happiness Sheela felt happy. but some words made some doubt on her daughter's words. my daughter always talk about her dear friend Girl only! Its the age to have at least a boyfriend.
"oh so that's the matter. So what else plans? you two only? or anyone else?"
"no mom, Just me only. Today no class. going to her room. Then to hilltop to give surprise gift."Tinu shown a small ring to her lovely mom. They didn't hide anything that happen between.
"ok we will talk in evening am also getting late. k dear drive carefully.tie that scarf before putting helmet k else my baby's hair wil look ugly"
They both went out locking home door. Sheela was in her working DRESS a pant and shirt and a coat for dust protection. farm in downside of the hill they stays. They have 25 cows and other crops and grape wine making system.
Sheela waved her hand to Tinu driving in her scooty pep. "my daughter has grown up ". She went down to farm.
Their major income is through the by-products made by cow milk and grape wine.
No one will tell that the mother and daughter gone through a very tough tragic past. They don't have any relations.
day passed so fast towards night. It's Already 7 over. Sheela called her daughter many times and she didnt reply. Its been nearly one hour since she was in door step. She saw Tinu's scooter approaching slowly to home.
"what happened dear? y dont u pick mobile? Y so late?"
Tinu looked so dull. she didnt answer for any questions. she came near to mom and hugged her. Sheela felt tinu's eye drops falling to her shoulders while her daughter hugged this much tight after so long time.
"what happened dear? Y tears in your eyes? go freshen and come ."
tinu understood the seriousnes in her mom's words.she know well that her mom will not bare to see tears in her daughter's eyes. Sheela never made any situation to make tears in tinu's eyes.
Tinu didnt say anything.she went to her room got freshened, changed her normal short skirt n tee shirt and came to kitchen. she felt much relief when near her mom.
"tinu tell what happend today that made u cry?"
"mom i went to see Sherly to wish for her birthday. but she was not alone. one guy was also with her whom she saying her cousin, but never mentioned before. throughout the day he was with us."
"did he do something wrong to you?"
"no mom but either in my birthday or hers, we used to be only two in past 6 years that u know very well. and this time.."
her eyes started to wet again. Sheela felt something more serious in tinu's emotion.
"tinu, tel me what exactly disturbing you? you are hiding something from me"
"mom..."
"ya, tel dear i m listening"
Sheela turned towards her whil cocking.
"i went to propose her. but, it didnt happen."
"what!!"
"Mom, i loved her, i cant live without her, please mom u know well i hate boys"
