The night was silent as the cold winds blew across the window to the room. A a mother and her daughter were on the bed of the daughter's room.The young girl was in a dilemma about the questions swirling in her mind from her mother.She slowly shifted a little on her mother's lap and finally decided to try.She spoke in a low timid voice,
"Mumma what do you think is love?"
Her mother, Rutvi looked at her with a certain gleam in her eyes as she spoke in a trance,
"Love? It's the most beautiful Tragedy of life Hiya. It has the power to make you experience both heaven and hell on earth."
Her daughter looked at her with curiousness evident in her eyes and asked quickly,
"How did you fell in love mumma? How did it feel?"
Rutvi looked at her daughter and furrowed her brows. She was amused by her sudden questions so she ended up asking her,
"Hmm you wanna know?"
Her daughter eagerly nodded her head and let out a small yes. She raised her brow and teased her child saying,
" Aren't you too young for it?"
Hiya shook her head in denial, not ready to agree with her mother on this and said she's in her twenties now to which her mother agreed finally defeated.Missari asked her again,
"So tell me, how was it falling in love?"
Rutvi looked at her daughter. Time really flows away like water. Her little daughter has grown up but she still sees her like a little child. She looked at her and replied,
"Its a sweet pain which is really addictive, you know we stop people from having drugs as they are addictive but believe me love is much more addictive than those."
Hiya was confused now, she asked her mother how is that even possible to which her mother replied,
"People usually misunderstand love as liking someone or lusting for them sometimes they even think caring for someone is love but no dear, prem ek Boht anokha ehsaas hai, na usse zyada kuch gehra hain na pavitra."
(Love is a very unique feeling, there's nothing more deep than it nor is anything more pure than love)
Hiya was even more confused at her mother's words now, If it's not all these then what is love?. She made her confused face, her eyes squinted as she looked at her mother questioningly. Rutvi decided to her help her and said,
"Love is when you feel all of them at the same time for the same person. When you love a person you care for that person,you like that person and desire for him or her only. Even their flaws attract you, their mistakes..you forget their mistakes just by their presence. You forget everything else when you're with the person you love every wrong too feels right by being with them"
Hiya was done with this now she frustratingly said,
"Mumma it is very much complicated for fu- god's sake."
Rutvi immediately spanked her head and said a little strictly,
"Don't use god's name when you wanna swear you stupid girl."
Hiya tried to cover up her mistake by saying,
"Actually woh I wasn't gonna swear."
Rutvi chuckled at her innocent lie and said,
"Baby lie to the wall not your mumma, I know it all. Actually it's not even you're fault its your dad..I'm going to give him a good lesson about this"
Rutvi was giggling while Hiya felt kind of embarrassed at her silly tries, she tried to divert her mom's attention and said,
"Ughh mumma tell me your love story stop laughing on me."
Rutvi replied in a humorous way,
"Ohhh my love story? Hmm okk but you'll not disturb me in between by asking questions I don't like it when someone interrupts me in between."
Rutvi complied to her mother and agreed saying,
"Okk okk so tell me when did you fell in love actually?"
Rutvi felt herself getting hot and fumbled a little while saying,
" I, well I was 18 that time hehe."
Hiya smiled evilly seeing her mother so affected and almost screamed,
"MUMMA!!! You're blushing huh? "
She smirked shamelessly at Rutvi who felt embarrassed infront of her own daughter. Rutvi quickly took control over the situation saying ,
"Ye Yeah now shut up lemme say and stop with that smirk you look crazy like your dad."
Hiya knew her mother was shy and burst out laughing at her. Rutvi started to move away to leave her daughter but then Hiya stopped her and said,
" Ok I'll stop now tell me I'll be shh..."
She kept her index finger on her lips imitating the finger your lips gesturing to be silent now. Rutvi started her tale finally,
"Good, so let's start"
