“Mommy mommy” her five and a half year old daughter Sanya is
calling but she is not even looking at her. Priya is not here ,
lost somewhere deep, deep in her thoughts , thoughts about her past , thoughts
about her dreams, Thoughts about her true love which was so pure, so inseparable
but now a memory only.
Little Sanya this time pulls her dupatta and at the same time
pulls her out of her trails of thoughts. “Mommy Mommy , look here na " . Being
in a fit of her memories Priya tries hard to smile "Yes my darling baby, tell
me what you want to show mommy " “Mommy look look , you have got two grey hair
on this side” Sanya points out her cute little fingers towards her hair “Mommy
r u gettng old”. Another blow of despair hits Priya this time really hard, “M I
growing old , but I have not even lived my life properly, the way I wanted
always . My dreams were destined to be fulfilled but now” and she again loses
herself to her memories.
Priya is a thirty two year old, very well educated lady married to
vikram who is posted as a highly paid and respectable manager in a Europe based
company and Sanya is their only kid, the only reason for them being still
together . A nine year old relation has hit the rocks hard , breathing its last
few breaths. Few months more and everything will turn to ashes. Priya has tried
everything to save her marriage for the sake of her daughter Sanya but Vikram
is as admant as he was nine years back. Nothing seems reversible now.It has to end
one day, sooner or later. The day Sanaya leaves for her Bording school in
Nainital , Vikram will leave Priya too. She will be left alone with her past and
some Forbidden memories.
It's sad, and the forbidden memories might haunt her forever, but sometimes that's the best you can do :-)
ReplyDeleteForbidden memories serve the very purpose you mentioned...they haunt till either you break or refuse to break
