Ch.45 chapter 45 - Sanyog - A Coincide...

Sanyogita was literally shivering after she received the phone number of Suparana â¦ I made her seat on the couch â¦ Ma brought water â¦ she drank the whole glass as if she was thirsty from ages â¦

Then she asked â¦ Sameep â¦ wonât there be any legal complications if I call her â¦

I donât think so â¦ and in the afternoon â¦ I have talked with the lawyer â¦ so, donât worry â¦ dial the phone number â¦

She nodded and pressed the buttons with shaky hands â¦

Yes â¦ this is Gurukul school and hostel â¦ the lady on the other side replied â¦

I am Sanyogita â¦ Suparnaâs mother â¦ I wish to talk to her â¦ she spoke the whole sentence in a single breath â¦

The receptionist lady said â¦ sure â¦ I will call her â¦ hold â¦

Expressions on Sanyogitaâs face changed suddenly â¦she was happy to receive the number and positive response from the reception counter but now she was anxious whether her daughter will be ready to talk with her â¦ if her father has influenced her so much that she will deny the call etc. I could read all these thoughts in her mind from her facial expressions â¦ I pressed her left hand and assured her that everything will be all right â¦ after a pause of almost two or three minutes , we heard the ladyâs voice â¦ madam â¦ are you there â¦ Suparana is here â¦ I will hand over to her â¦

Heart beats of all of us were speeding â¦ Sanyogita gathered the courage and said â¦ Hello! Beta Suparna â¦ wish you very happy birthday â¦ how are you my dear â¦ have you celebrated your birthday?

I once again pressed Sanyogitaâs hand â¦ to give indication to stop and let Suparna speak â¦

We all were very much eager to listen to our babyâs voice and reply â¦

And to our surprise â¦ Suparna replied happily â¦ thank you â¦ we noticed â¦ she avoided to say Ma or Mumma or something â¦

We all were happy and excited to listen to her reply â¦

I said to Sanyogita â¦ speak something else â¦

Sanyogita asked â¦ how was the celebration of your birthday in school dear â¦

The innocent child replied â¦ very nice â¦ teacher has arranged for cake and daddy has also sent me cake and toys â¦ further she added â¦ you did not send me anything â¦

Sanyogita was dumbstruck â¦

I said tell her â¦ its on the way â¦

Sanyogita gathered courage and said â¦ itâs on the way beta â¦ a big surprise for you â¦

Really!... Suparna exclaimed â¦

Yesâ¦ dear â¦ how could Mumma forget your birthday â¦

Hammmâ¦ Suparna hummed â¦ but why didnât you call me â¦ have you forgotten meâ¦ she asked

With these words â¦ Sanyogita lost her balance and burst â¦ and started crying â¦

Ma patted on her back and said control yourself â¦ you were so much eager to talk with her â¦ so donât waste time â¦ speak up â¦ all your emotions â¦ let them flow â¦ donât hold anything back â¦

Sanyogita said â¦ Mumma miss you a lot beta â¦ but I was caught in some work â¦ so I couldnât call you â¦ but now onwards, I will call you regularly â¦

Mumma â¦ when will your gift will arrive â¦ what have your sent â¦ Suparna was asking â¦

The innocent world of children â¦ the child has forgotten everything about her reply in the court and Sanyogita was afraid she might lose her childâ¦ itâs all the problems of the world of elderly people â¦ I thought â¦

Mumma has sent you many gifts you like â¦ Sanyogita replied â¦

Chocolates â¦ books â¦ am I right â¦ Suparna asked â¦

Correct â¦ but more than that â¦ Sanyogita said â¦

Let me guess â¦ frock â¦ or something else â¦ Suparna exclaimed â¦

Oh! You caught me â¦ Sanyogita said happily â¦ now she was relieved â¦ the dayâs stress was over â¦ after listening to her dollâs voice â¦

We all were very happy for her â¦ at last she smiled by heart â¦ and now she was confident that Suparna hasnât created any bad image of her in her mind â¦ what happened in the court was temporary issue â¦ and it can be resolved â¦

I asked Mayank to open the online gifting sites and order for chocolates, cakes , toys and frocks and what not â¦ I said to Sanyogita â¦ are you happy now â¦

She blinked her eyes to say â¦ yes â¦

Ask the receptionist â¦ postal address of the hostel â¦ so we can send the gifts â¦ I said â¦

Sanyogita nodded â¦

Mumma when are you coming to meet me â¦ I am bored over here â¦ Suparna said innocently â¦

Sanyogita looked at me happily and said â¦ very soon â¦ but first you tell me â¦ have you had your dinner â¦

I was eating in the cafeteriaâ¦ when teacher informed me that someone called you â¦ Suparana said â¦

Oh! Babay â¦ go and finish your dinner first â¦ we will talk again â¦ Sanyogita said â¦

Postal address â¦ I shouted â¦

Sanyogita said â¦ please give the phone to the teacher â¦

Yesâ¦ Suparna said â¦ can I go now â¦ she again asked innocently â¦

Sure beta â¦ eat your food well â¦ once again happy birthday and lots of love and blessings from Mumma â¦ Sanyogita said affectionately â¦

Thank you so much â¦ Suparana took a long pause and at last said â¦ Mumma â¦

Sanyogitaâs eyes were overflowing with the tears of happiness â¦

Mayank noted down the postal address â¦ when teacher told â¦

Madam but â¦ Suparanaâs father had instructed us â¦ not to disclose about her whereabouts â¦ but we canât hide information from mother â¦ so I told you â¦

Thank you very much â¦ Sanyogita said â¦ itâs very kind of you â¦ but please donât tell anyone that I called â¦

Ok Madam â¦ the receptionist said â¦

And the call was cut â¦

â¦ Mayank said â¦ Madam I have short listed these items â¦ please choose so we can place the order immediately so Suparna baby will receive her gifts till 10.00 pm â¦

Oh! Mayank â¦ thatâs so nice of you â¦but I will pay for the gifts â¦

Ma shouted â¦ is she not our grand daughter â¦ what are you talking Sanyogita â¦ donât waste time â¦ and select the gifts â¦

Everyone was speechless before Ma â¦ including Sanyogita â¦
