She gave me a blissful smile and said, “I think I can leave her here now.”
I stood up from Titli’s side and said to her, “She is everything to me. I lost my mom when
I was very young, then I lost my grandma which was not in my hand. I lost her once and I
don’t have much strength left to lose her again.”
She ruffled my hair and said, “I think it will not be raining today. Like some tea?”
I smiled back at her, “Sure. You still owe me the sukto, remember.”
She laughed at me and patted my unshaven cheek, “You are really crazy…. Go and
brush. Take a bath and don’t forget to shave. From last ten days, neither you have slept
properly nor taken anything.”
I laughed at her, “You also have not left her side Auntie. Don’t worry I will sleep now. I
have to join office so I am concerned as how to keep her alone.”
She said to me, “Why are you worrying so much? I will send my maid in the morning and
I will be here until you return from office. I am her mother. So I have some duty also.”
Titli was gradually regaining her lost stature. We all were delighted to see her in good
shape. The glow on her face was returning, yet her eyes bore few strokes of insecurity.
She was able to walk properly and she started responding to her original name, Titli.
Titli’s mother went back after five days. I assured her not to worry about Titli and she
can come to check her anytime as our houses were nearby. She gave me a hug and said
that she was not worry about Titli but she was worry about me as how would I cope
with her current being.
We were all alone in that house after aunt left on that evening. She was feeling
uncomfortable, as I was the only person in the house. I asked her to sit on the couch.
She felt bit uneasy when I sat beside her.
I asked her, “What are you thinking?”
She gestured at me, “You and me will live alone in this house?”
I nodded my head, “Yes Titli. This is your house.”
She gave a cold expression by gently nodding her head, “Ok.” Then she retired calmly
into the bedroom.
