“ Oooh so this dog had make a difference in you which we couldn’t ... Right...?”
“ The love and acceptance make the difference... He does not any means to my achievement or failure... All over he is my friend... And will be always...”
Mom feels guilty by her answer... She returns her Puppy and leave the room ...
The whole day the mother reminds the past moments when Saumya try to be understood... She feels regretful and she thought like as a parent she feels fail today... I did the best and want to do best ... Is there anything wrong with this...? She is child ... She can't understand my situation today... But when she will be parent definitely she will be... yes definitely she will be...
At evening Her mother go to her...
“ Saumya really we are not a good parents no...?”
“ You are the best mom” she started crying and hugged her tightly... and continue talking...
“ I know everything you are doing is all for my good but if I don’t feel loved and satisfied what’s the point in it... If now every day I wasted being frustrated and sad ... I will be always like that mom... Do you want that...?”
The tears sprinkled in her eyes, “ I never realised it... we are very sorry my dear”
They both cried...
Her mother allowed her to keep Tommy with her... The stranger who gives courage, love and her parents love back what she deserves...
