Okay, I'll do that.
No... It's okay
Yeah sure...
Okay... fine
Yeah..I'll call you back
Hi Anshuman ji
Oh!
Hi Saachi
Hi
Come sit
Yeah
By the way, just call me Anshuman. Okay.
Alright
Coffee.
Thank you for coming here to meet me today.
How are feeling?
I am fine now.
Actually I was in two minds, should I meet you or not?
But, when I spoke to you a few days ago, when I heard your voice that made my decision easier.
Actually, if I was in your place even, I would have felt a little hesitant.
But, I'm so glad you agreed to meet me.
Please
Actually, I needed to know something from you.
About Faatima mam. Like about her persona?
Who was she? What kind of a person was she?
Saachi, it's not possible to describe mother's personality in words.
Perhaps every child feels that their mother is the best in the world
But I am quite sure about this.
How were your childhood days with her?
Very pleasant, full of carelessness and innocent mischief.
Today I am married and we have a beautiful little daughter.
Neither I nor my wife 'Priyanka' can think of raising this child alone.
But my mother was a single parent.
Yet in my upbringing, she did everything that is possible.
So, today you are a successful writer.
Did you achieve success easily or did you have to struggle for it?
Saachi, I believe that there is no existence of success without struggle and failure.
Yes, in those days whenever I felt that I was lonely and surrounded by hopelessness in this city.
Then... Then I used to talk to mother
So, did you tell her about your grief and shared your problems?
God has given such a heart to woman that she can feel the pain of her child by herself.
Okay
You asked about mother, you have asked about me. Tell me something about yourself?
So, I am a final year student of 'Bachelor of Mass Media'.
Here, I live with my parents and my younger sister 'Preeti'.
You know
Earlier, I used to get annoyed very quickly. I would get into an arguments with my loved ones.
But now I have changed.
I try to be happy most of the times. In fact, I have started caring about the people that are close to me, more than ever before.
That is really nice.
Anshuman Ji
If you don't mind. Can I ask you something?
Yes go ahead
Your mother's name is 'Faatima' (Muslim Name) and your name is 'Anshuman'...
I mean, 'Anshuman' is a Hindu name. Right?
The mother that gave birth to me and my 'Faatima' mom were very good friends.
My mother was often ill after giving birth to me.
And, after a few days she passed away as she handed me over to 'Faatima' mom
It seems that God took me out of one mother's womb and gave me a place in another mother's heart
Seeing your success, she must have been really happy?
Mom's happiness knew no bounds.
She would distribute sweets in the neighbourhood and tell everyone about the book I wrote
Then after a few days she fell ill.
Whenever, I used to visit her at the hospital, she would ask me to read a few pages of my book.
Later, her health improved a bit and we brought her home.
But, one day when I returned home, I saw that mom was signing some document.
Mom, why are you doing this?
Son, your mother and my friend was a heart patient
I thought when I leave this world, at that time if I can give life to someone, my soul will get peace.
Do you still remember her often?
'Saachi', mother is like a rose that is kept in my book of life...
...The fragrance of her love and emotions makes every day and every moment sweet for me.
You said that you have a daughter. What's her name? You didn't tell me about her?
'Faatima'
The name that is closest to my heart. We chose the same name for our daughter.
So, what's the age of little 'Faatima'? And, how is she?
She is just five years old, but she speaks like elders.
She says "Papa if you sit in front of the laptop for a long time then, you will have to wear thick glasses."
Do you want to see her photograph?
Yeah...
One minute, I will show it to you.
Here it is
Wow! she is so cute
You know. From what I have heard from you. It seems that 'Faatima' mam has come back in your life.
Maybe this is what we call "circle of life"
Oh! Excuse me sorry
It's my daughter 'Faatima'
Hello, yes dear
Papa is coming in a little while and we will both go together.
Sure I promise
Okay bye. Love you.
'Faatima' was calling as we needed to go shopping together. To get a gift for her mother for 'Mother's Day'.
Oh! I am so sorry, I forgot.
This is for you, 'Saachi'
For me?
Oh! Chocolates.
I am sorry 'Anshuman' ji. How can I accept this?
Please
It's a request
Okay, if you insist so
Thank you
Thank you so much
'Saachi', I am so sorry but I have to leave. 'Faatima' is waiting for me.
Yeah..sure
But, it was nice to meet and speak to you.
Same here
And, I would also like to meet your family and especially like to meet your little daughter 'Faatima'
Definitely. Whenever you would like to meet, just give me a call.
Okay
All the best
Thank you
Be careful!
Son, be careful!
I thought when I leave this world, at that time if I can give life to someone, my soul will get peace.
