Thank you so much friend. They suited so well for the plot.

Hope you like them.

Happy Reading.

Main Character's POV:

9 years back

"Can't you delay your camp? There's a meeting in his school. You can go there and then to your camp?" maa suggested to him as he was packing his luggage. He is a general physician in government hospital because of which he has to roam to different towns from time to time.

He didn't pay any heed to her and continued with his work. I was standing at the door, fidgeting my fingers. He never attended any of my school events or cared much about what's happening in my life. I don't know what is the problem with him. 

I looked at maa with puppy eyes and she assured me through her eyes that she will talk to him again. She went ahead and sat behind him and placed her hand on his shoulder and before she could begin anything, he jerked off her hand and stood up.

"Listen, I don't have time for all this nonsense. Go if you want or who cares. I have my own life and work," he yelled and stomped out of the room. While passing by he gave me a disgusted look and went out. 

My head automatically bowed down as he passed by me. I regretted asking him to do something for me even when I knew the answer. Maa sighed and closed his luggage zip and came to me. She bent down and lifted my chin and smiled at me. 

"What if he doesn't come? I will be there. I will talk to your teachers, ok?" she asked me and tried to lift my spirits. 

"No need to come. You stammer while talking and they will give me cheap looks. It's ok," I said not realizing the impacts of my words at that time. 

"Listen, I am your parent and I have every right to be there. And you are studying in an English medium school not me, so my English should not be a problem for them and I will talk to them about these looks too," she replied harshly and left me. 

"Maaa...." I whined and followed her back as she headed to the kitchen.

That terrified me about another humiliation over there so I went after her for the whole day and tried my best to convince her to not come.

*****

Present  

How badly I wish I had convinced her that day and she wouldn't have to come to my school. 

That one visit broke our lives like irreparably.

Right now am standing outside the central women's jail waiting for maa. She would be out by 7 'o'clock. I have been standing here for the past one hour, leaning on my car. There are quite a few people, who are waiting along with me.

Maybe many are waiting for their mothers like him or the most important person in their life. Then I heard the shrill sound of the iron door being opened. The sound echoed in the still atmosphere, but his heart became more uneasy.

I saw few women coming out wearing worn-out clothes. Then it struck me that Maa doesn't have any clothes. Have to get her a few, actually many. 

Though many thoughts are my eyes were fixed on the entrance. Then came out my Maa. 

She is not the same Maa who went in there. She has changed. She changed so much in the past 10 years. I have witnessed that horrific change through my own eyes. She kept becoming weak and weak and now she is nothing more than bones, with some flesh. 

As soon as she came out from the gate she slipped, hitting the gate. I immediately rushed to her and held her in my arms. She barely weighs anything. 

"Maa....." I called. Tears formed in my seeing her so pale and week in my arms. Any son in this world would like to keep his mother like a Queen and here I couldn't do anything for my Maa. 

The tears which I kept storing for so many eyes. My 'Unshed Tears'. The tear from my left eye trailed down my cheek and fell on her forehead. That's when Maa looked at me. She fluttered her eyes because of the early sun rays. 

I slowly made her stand up, still holding her firmly so as not to let her fall again. All the time she didn't even blink her eyes and kept looking at me. 

"Kanha....." she called me so dearly and placed her palm on my cheek, checking my face closely. I missed this comfort and her soft touch all these years. There is so much happiness and pride in her eyes. Even immense pain. 

"Welcome Maa," I said with a smile of happiness and hugged her. I felt the right side of my shirt get wet because of her constant tears. Even she is crying with tears of happiness. I felt so safe and heartfelt after many years. 

Finally, the lost happiness and peace are returning back to us.

So how's the chapter?
