Dad to Mom: For the wedding we needed to attend in the evening, we would go along with a friend of mine. He got two vacant seats in the car.
Mom: Ok, I will be ready in time.
(She planned her day accordingly, takes her time in getting ready and just before she was ready to change in the sari for wedding I walked up to her and enquired)
Me: Are you guys going to the same resort that people say is awesome and has so many cool facilities?
Mom: Yeah, you want to come along?
Me: Nah, just enquiring. Anyway only 2 of us could go ...so no problems.
Mom: Ok
(I went out looking for friends to play)
After 10 mins dad came rushing to me: Why are you not getting ready? Your mom doesn't feel like going.. I think she is not feeling well. She said I should take you instead. Hurry up!! We gotta leave in 20 min.
That was probably the first time, a 10 year old had understood what really had happened there. God knows how many times such a thing would have happened before which I didn’t even realize. Also that was the first time I could not help but shed tears for that unconditional love that a mother has!!
