CHAPTER 55

Srilaxmi comes to meet Ram

Auto stopped in front of the house. Driver showed a visiting card to the security. “Is this the house of Commando Ram?”

Security was surprised. “Yes. Who has come?”

Driver said, “His mother, it seems.”

Srilaxmi got down from the auto. Security was surprised but happy to see her.

“Please come, madam.”

Srilaxmi gave money to the driver and followed the security. “Is my son Ram at home?”

Security said happily, “Yes. He just arrived. Please come.”

He opened the door and entered.

Security approached Rahim. “Sir, your mother is here.”

Rahim was shocked. He observed her enter. She was very happy to see him.

“Ram, I could not stay there any more. So I came looking for you.”

Srilaxmi came near and took his hand. Rahim kept standing like a stone. Then he recovered and smiled. “Come.”

He made her sit on the sofa. Then he too sat next to her.

Srilaxmi kept staring at him and caressed his hand. “Only you are left for me.”

She opened her bag. “I have brought something you like very much.”

She removed gulab jamun from the bag. “I had gone to Kashi. I brought gulab jamun for you.”

She took out a spoon.

Rahim stopped her by saying, “I will eat later.”

“No. I want to put it in your mouth.”

She put a spoon full of gulab jamun in his mouth. Rahim eat helplessly.

Srilaxmi got up and said, “I want to see the house.”

Getting up, Rahim said, “Yes. Come”

Srilaxmi started moving around the house. He followed her.

“Such a nice house.” Said Srilaxmi happily.

She reached the kitchen. “Everything is there”

Then they sat on the sofa in the hall. Srilaxmi looked at the family photo.

“Poor girl. They poured petrol on her body and burnt her alive.”

She started crying. “Your sister. Your father. The scooter burst into flames right in front of my eyes. What did they do to those terrorists? Don’t they have sisters or wives? Don’t they have any heart?”

She started crying.

Rahim closed his eyes in a shock. He started feeling very bad. He caressed her head. “Please don’t cry.”

Srilaxmi recovered and got up. “I will have bath and cook something for you.”
