Ninety Four

"Maaaaaa....dekho kon aayaaaaaa" Sana's chirpy voice rang through the corridors as soon as they entered his mother's house.

She was like an excited little bunny, hopping from one end to the other.

The driver was waiting outside the airport to bring them home and Sana hadn't stopped talking in the car even for a second.

She was so excited to meet her angel and tell her all the stories from her amazing trip and Sidharth couldn't stop smiling at his innocence. She was literally such a baby.

He had been sitting quietly leaning against the seat, listening to her blabber nonstop about everything she was going to tell Maa.

So the moment the car stopped, she excitedly jumped out of the car, with him slowly walking behind with a soft content smile on his tired but beautiful face.

Seema didi opened the door and hugged Sana, welcoming them inside.

Sidharth had his hands in his pockets and her bag pack hanging on one of his shoulders as he followed Sana in to the house.

Sana was literally running through the corridor, calling out to his mother like a baby.

"Maaaaaaa...we are backkkk" she sang as she went in.

His mother, who had been equally excited and impatient to see her kids had just put her book aside and was on her way to coming towards the door to greet them but they both met midway.

"Maaaaaa" Sana's entire face and eyes lit up as soon as she saw her walk towards them with that soft beautiful loving smile.

Sana literally ran towards her with Sidharth walking behind as she too opened her arms and welcomed them both.

"Sanaaaaa. Agaye mere bachay. Welcomeee" she grinned as she came closer and engulfed Sana in to a hug.

"Mera bachaaa. Kesi haiii? I'm so glad you both are back" she sighed softly as Sana almost suffocated her with the grip she had around her.

Sidharth chuckled and kept the bag on the sofa before coming and standing right behind Sana.

"Maaaaa. I missed you so so so muchhhh. I love youuuu" Sana mumbled, sniffing in her motherly scent and closing her eyes.

It was truly such a beautiful and unique relationship she had with this woman. True, she was his mother but it wasn't just that between her and Sana, that wasn't the only point of their bond.

This woman, she had opened her arms to Sana way before she and Sidharth had found their way to one another.

This woman, had not only understood Sana's heart and her battles, she had also given her the much needed love, support and guidance a girl needs from her mother.

This woman, after knowing Sana truly, had always stood by her side, even if that meant going against her own Son.

She has truly loved and pampered and nourished Sana like her own and Sana was forever indebted to the universe for giving her not only her perfect Sidharth, but this angel too.

She had built her own relationship and bond with his mother, without Sidharth's interference.

She had developed this inexplicable comfort and love with her where she wasn't just his mother to her, but also her own confidante, her guide, her support system, and the mother she never had.

Sana couldn't explain how much she truly respected and valued his mother. She was an exceptional woman and Sana was so in awe of her.

It is very rare that a boy's mother can love and support a girl so wholeheartedly and so fully without that girl even being something to her son and even when there is a relationship between them, it is extremely rare that a woman would truly put the girl at the same level she puts her son at and would support and stand by her side so wholeheartedly and pray and make sure to bring her son closer to the girl.
