Tell us about the last thing you got excited about.

My mother was very ill, she had started having pains, we all three brothers and sisters were at home, mother was worried, we were also small, I was older, I used to understand something, both my brothers and sisters were playing, I was sitting near my mother. She was caressing his stomach with her hands, but when the mother could not bear it, she said, go and call the neighbor’s aunt.

I made my brother and sister sit near my mother and called Sudha bua, the nursing home was nearby, bua got my mother admitted there after sitting in a rickshaw.

I was also there, they took the mother inside, then the doctor said that the mother’s child is stuck in the stomach, an operation will have to be done, otherwise both the mother and the child will die. The mother’s nails turned blue.

Now hearing this, my condition had worsened, there was no money in the house, what should I do now, even my father was not there, I was 12 years old.

But Sudha Bua said that you go home, I am here only then it was 8 o’clock in the night, father had also come, all the family members had gathered.

I was at home and lit a small incense stick and was praying to God

Mother had prepared some food in the night, we ate it and drank milk, my brother and sister went to sleep but I could not sleep, I sat near the window all night.

No news was coming but I had faith in my God that nothing bad would happen I was positive

Now at 9 in the morning my cousin told me that your younger brother has come here, your mother and younger brother are fine, now I am happy and quickly opened the door and came out.

And I alone reached the nursing home to see my brother, the nursing home was 1 km away, so I walked on foot, but at that time my mother was unconscious. I was not allowed to see them, everyone refused

Both of them were just admitted in a different room. Mummy’s operation was done, it was not allowed to see

When the mother regained consciousness, the nurse said that your daughter had come, now she has gone back.

After three days, he was brought to a separate room, that was the general room, in which there were five women, all of whom had children sleeping next to them.

I was allowed to see from a distance, he was a small, cute child, sometimes he would open his eyes to see everyone, sometimes he would close his eyes, sometimes he would start crying.

After 8 days when the nurse said come take your brother in your lap once but don’t touch him again and again otherwise he will get sick I started looking at my mother’s eyes I was waiting for her signal

She said take him in your lap. She knew that I was anxious to take him in my arms.

And he was just waking up wearing a loincloth was going to take a bath I held him in my lap and I was so happy that I can’t express in words anymore

I just remembered this incident to be excited
