*****
The old lady was repeatedly asking
Dear son, Where you are taking me?
He was silent
and memorizing the words of his wife
told him yesterday night secretly
"Take your mother to any Geriatrics Centre.
Now she is not obedient and worse than children.
Why cant she keep silent and sit aside?
She is a public nuisance"
He kept his silent with a yawn
but she continued
Why are you keeping silent?
Can you do or not what I said?
Otherwise select that lady or me.
choice is yours
I can not manage her further more
wait for while,
it will be decided tomorrow,
he said
His car was running with his mother
Dear son,
How long before we sit like this?
Could you remember,
How much I suffered to fulfill your requirement
when we are traveling like this at your childhood
He kept silent
and looked at her face
and murmured in his mind.
How beautiful she was before,
now thin, dry, wrinkled skin like
a skeletal looks. Otherwise may be
she transferred her beauty to me!
Again he memorized his childhood,
mothers task to take bath him
changing dresses, hurry cooking, Tiffin filling
late eating after school etc, etc.
When I was sick, she spent
her sleepless night with me.
such a nostalgic events
came in his mind
one by one
Dear Son,
what are you thinking deeply?
How many years before
we traveled like this?
We can not get a chance like this again!
Can you remember,
How much talkative you are at your childhood,
when your were traveled with me
Mother was memorizing all his past
in a happy mood
But he was recalling all his past in sad mood
so, his eyes were filling sometimes with tears
Dear son, can you stop the car,
if you dont mind, could you buy
a lime juice for me
I am very thirsty
He requested the driver to stop the car
and he bought a lime juice for his mother.
while receiving it from her son
she asked
Son, had you had the lime juice?
No, Ma.. He replied
Why not? Lime is not available there?....
If so, take it yourself, I am not thirsty much
With a jerking voice he replied,
Ma..., I dont need it now,
that is why I didn't
So, pls drink
He wiped out his tears again
when the car began to start,
his thoughts flashed back again
to his childhood
he was trying to correlate it
with similar things
Ma......
Oh, my son
Am I punish by father?
Why punishing my son unreason?
I had broken his Eye Glass
Really?
Not intentionally,
but accidentaly happened by a fall
Never mind son,
I will compromise it with your father
Dont afraid,
father do not do anything against my son
so, pls take this drink
At that night, anxiously I was observing
their conversation secretly
Your attitude will make him worse
love your son is OK, but dont be over
He would not become worse,
He is my son, never mind about your glass
Broken the glass is not a matter at all
In the car, again she enquired,
Son, Where we are going?
You did not explain yet
He felt that
Such questions will irritate his weakness
So, he requested to put on the car audio,
but it was not listening
****
While the car was slowly
stopping near a Big House,
She anxiously looked out
and was trying to read its
name board with difficulty
"Welfare Geriatrics Center"
she strucked a second by shock
and turned her eyes sadly to her son
Now he can read clearly in her eyes,
someone loosing their expectations.
Suddenly,
she caught his hand roughly and hardly
His thoughts flashed back
to Shakesphere's 'Antony Speech'
"Brutus you too"
Again his memory flashed back like illumination
about his childhood, teenage, youth
upto his marriage
He closed his face by his own hands
and cried in a hoarseness voice
Maaaa........Pardon me
Maaaa....... Pardon me
Wiping out the tears
He ordered to the driver in a terrible voice
Back to Home
Hurry
****
Car was flying back in a double speed
stopped at home with a sudden brake
which made a horrible sound.
Looked to the driver and
he shouted
Bring me a Taxi
Driver left the car while the Radio was
now reciting Quran
He came out the car and opened the door
with an embracing appearence
he was taken his mother to home
When they were stepping to the home,
His wife appeared infront of the door
she weared expensive dresses
with full make up
she asked
What happend?
Why did you return both?
He kept silent while he was taking
his mother to the bed room.
Her room was cleaned and refreshed.
His wife was also following them
She asked again
Could you not hear me what I am asking?
Why you are not left the lady in the rescue home?
He closed the door.
She came in advance
Why are you closing the door?
Reply to my question first?
Then she was trying to open the door.
He looked his wife totally down to top.
Her face was became red by anger.
She shouted again
Reply me?
He raised his Rt. hand up and slapped
her face strongly how heavily he can.
By the force of beat, she fell down.
It was unexpected,
Not experienced before.
She was trying to wake up, but
while she was standing on her knee,
he put his Rt. foot on her back and
Roared
Leave me
Leave my home now
Time is not more to leave
Take what you want from me
otherwise it would be your end.
Taxi is waiting out for you.
Listen
You are not a regular lady,
but a devil from hell
I dont need a devil
to share my balance life
Pointing his finger to his mother
he continued
This is my mother,
My own mother
She is an angel from heaven
She made me, I
I can not live without her
She will share her balance life with me.
I chose you by a mistake
It was my mistake
my own mistake
it should not be happen my life
O, my God, Apologize me
Then he re-footed his leg heavily
to her back and continued
Dont be proud about your Youth
Dont be proud about your beauty
Dont be proud about your skin
Dont be proud about your family
Dont be proud about your wealth
Because
Tomorrow you will become old
Your skin also be wrinkled
Need may be specs and hearing aid
One fever is enough to loose your helth
Richers may become beggers
special care may be needed with sympathy
At that time if you are taken
to a Geriatrics Centre by your son,
He will feel a pain what I am suffering now
you will feel a pain what my mother suffering now.
Nobody can realize its severety now .
So, I never allow to repeat it in my life
I never allow to recur this to my son
Is it happening before in my house
I am kicking an object out.
Oh my God, Apologize me
