My Deary,
Love is blind,consuming and selfish.It makes people vulnerable and often one's greatest weakness.But if love all this why does everyone try this hard finding love?
I woke up and found a note saying "I am leaving for a conference for the next two days,dont make a mess of the house.Love Mom".This was the first time she left town without meeting me.I called her just to make sure if she had already boarded the flight or maybe just to make a converstion cause I was afraid she was drifting away from me.Picking up the phone she said"Ya i was expecting you to call,now listen don't disturb me in the meeting tomorrow,this one is vey important for the company"."Everything is important for you mom except your daughter" I replied in frustuation.She said in a irritated way"Ohh please dont make a fuss of it,if you would start acting like my daughter.,then only you would have earned my love" .I cut the phone without listening to her further.I tried to concentrate on the brighter part,today each pair for the english assignment was supposed to show their hard work or may I say the ppt.Varun did the whole ppt and I hardly contributed a bit of my mind to it.

Debika picked me up for school and soon I forgot all about mum's bitter words.As soon as I reached school I asked Varun about if the project was ready.And he said smilingly"Yeah! definitely we are going to be the best".Now Varun and I knew each other pretty well.He lived with his separated mother.At the age of 2 years his father left them.It was hard on them then but now life was pretty smooth for them.Suddenly he was asked to take a call from his home in princy's office. He came back to class and handing me a CD he said "I have to go.please fill me in,I know you will be fine,bye".
It took a moment for me to process everything.I was completely clueless about the presentation,how could I talk about it in front of the whole class? Morever I was worried about him.So I went running after him and shouted"Hey,whats wrong? and I really can't do this".He immediately turned back and said"My mom needs me but I know you will be nothing but the best" and he left in a hurry.I came back to class nervously."Radhika Ambhore Chatterjee" called out botoxy.I was having a panic attack but suddenly Varun's words came to my ears and I knew I could do this and I ended doing pretty well.
I went to ask his friend about him.He said his mom was in hospital.I went to see him after school.His mom found out about his dad and his family's arrival in town and she was not feeding herself enough.So she collapsed due to low pressure.I asked him if he was fine.But knowing the kind of person he is,he will always prefer to be alone in this downfall.I stayed with him for the next 2 hours.We didn't uttter a single word.We just stared at the floor and occasionaly at each other.Finally he said "you can go,mom will be fine,she has always been a warrior,don't worry".I could see their unbreakable love and I guess this was the only thing that kept going for these years.I replied "No,I wanna stay".His mom had gained consciousness."Varun,you ok?"-this was her words when she woke up.And I left them being unnoticed in their reconcilation.
This was love everyone talks about,be it between a child & a mother or a brother & a sister or between two lovers or two friends.Love is supposed to be unconditional,one never has to earn it ,it is overwhelming but it is the only thing that gives the strength to go through life.
I guess Debika's constant support,love and care gave me that strength.
