"mom i don't remember any of these things. but i an also present and i didnt see u anywhere. but i feel much heaviness in head. why i feel like i forgot much of my past?
Sheela turned on the video again and paused in a marriage sequence.
" I know these are not in your memories.. This is marriage function of my brother-in-law's sisters"
"But i feel like i do know them. and i didnt see you anywhere."
"dear, you will not see me, but this is your mother's and father's marriage tape. This is my sister and brother-in-law"
Sheela pointed out to the people standing near in the visual.
"mom? wat are you saying?". she stood from bed. Sheela hold her and sat her near to her.
"you are a matured woman now. some day you have to know all these. i am actually just a far relative to you as blood relation is considered. but fate made me mother to your younger brother just to feed him and made me live like what i am now. but its a long story to tell."
"mom, tell everything i want to know everything"
"dear, i don't wish to remember all but you should know at least way fate has played with us. But you should be patient and must tell when u fee ant stress in your head."
"sure mom, but finish it all today else i cannot sleep"
She hold Sheela's hand tightly ant put her hand on her hands "tel mom"
"ok dear i wil tel. you dnt remember all because of the accident happened 8 years back. i became you mother after that and we became orphans in this world. "
"oh mom. you r always my sweet mother."
" i am not your original mother. but i am sure i acted that role upto my level best. but i do love you as my own."
"mom..."
tears started falling from tinu's eyes. Sheela wiped them and CONTINUED
"you and your grandparents met with an accident where i lost my close friend, your grandmother who were my last blood route in this world. but before that also i was taking care of your younger brother as his mother."
" i cant relate all. actually you are my father's second wife? tell me from beginning". Tinu looked her in very serious way.
" no, i am comming to that only. you and your grandfather escaped with injuries, but he had heavy body injury and yours a shock to brain which made you loose your memories. thats y i told it in begining. i wil start from my life begining k"
"k mom, but i never have any such thoughts. even i dont remember my grandfather"
"You were in coma nearly 7 months. by the time we shifted to this villege area and your grandfather also passed away before you recovered to normal life. but you lost your memories. all became fresh for you. me , your name. but study and intelligence remained same by luck"
"Oh god, without that i may be like 7 year old girl."
" ya may be. let me start."
"Ok mom"
" i was born in a good joint family a long after my sister was born. My father was the eldest in family and your grandfather was friend of him.
my only one sister was 12 years elder than me. so she was more like a mother than a sister to me. but by the age of 7 we became close friends. your father and my sister were childhood friends and his sister was 6 years elder to me but we also became close since my father and your grandfather were doing joint business and were neighbors.
when my sister Latha became 20, she agreed for marriage with your father Ram which was fixed long years back and was blocked by my sister since she have to finish her MBBS. your father was into business and was supportive to Latha since they are so deep lovers.
Ram's sister also joined as junior to my sister but specialisation were different. i was very close to both of them. She actually loved me very much more than a friend. but not possible to go further na.
Ram and Latha got married when i was 10. but she was consuming you by that time. You were born in 4 months after marriage. but you didnt get the luck to be feed by your mother much because she was so deeply in love with her studies and left to Germany for higher studies.
And your father too went to expand his business there leaving you with us."
sheela wiped tears from her own eyes. tinu was listening and was in deep thought. she put head on Sheela's legs and lay on bed looking to distance.
