Mom said “its ok, I am sure you might have experienced it also”? Uma said “yes mummy, but my husband was an animal so I experienced it but did not enjoy it”. Mom in a soothing tone said “I am sorry to hear, don’t worry. I am sure you are over it now”?
Uma said “yes mummy, one good Samaritan helped me escape from that nightmare and now I am here”. Mom asked “I hope you plan to get married and settle down again in future”?
Uma said “no mummy, I don’t want to again have another nightmare. I am fine the way my life is right now so let’s just leave it at that”. The massage helped and mom was feeling fine again.
Mom said “your massage did wonders. I will sleep for sometime now. Thank You”. Uma came out of the room and went straight to the kitchen. I was perplexed seeing the expression on her face.
I so much wanted to go and talk to her sensing something wrong must have happened between her and mom but I could not go because dad had already given me a big list of things to complete today.
It was time for me to head out, so I went to Uma in the kitchen and said “I will be back by 6 in the evening only. So I will eat outside. You take good care of dad and mom meanwhile”.
She nodded yes, I asked “is everything ok? Why are you looking so down”? She said “no nothing Krishna, you carry on. I will take care of everything”. I gave her a quick smooch and left.
When I got back in the evening around 7pm, dad was looking cheerful watching TV, he was in his normal house clothes. Mom was resting in their bedroom and Uma was not to be seen.
I went to my room and locked myself in my bathroom. Then I called Uma on her cell, she answered in a groggy tired tone. I asked “where are you Uma and what happened”?
