Mother.

Feelings are so strange that they make you wonder about the complexities in the human brain. Feelings are so weird and absurd that it can make you feel two things, right at the same time.

I am settled here in a new city now.  Everything that you need to do by yourself. From the teachers speaking about selection every single moment to even washing your own clothes; it reminds me how hard my mother worked and how I always took her for granted. 

I often used to feel irritated when I did not have my things straight, just at their right places, unable to understand how monotonous and hard it was for my mother to keep them perfect, every single time.

And now, even the thought of doing all that by yourself, throw shivers down my spine.

I was a stubborn person. I had fights with my mother. I did not like her at a certain point of time.

I desperately wanted to leave home.

However, the scenario is the complete opposite now. 

I feel dull when I wake up in the morning, since, I do not have anyone to talk to. 

Or call me up. 

I do not have anybody to listen to my nonsense 

or listen to my songs.

Or simply talk to me. 

I do not have anyone to share everything that's going on with me

NO one to ask if I am hungry or full

I feel homesick

I feel the need of my mother now. 

I remember how I used to pester her for the silliest of things, never even thinking of the this day.

However, Karma turns its wheel.

And so has it. 

It is so weird to feel the complete opposite for a person, whom you used to practically hate, maybe, months ago. 

They say," Distance makes the heart grow fonder", however, it has made me desperate to mend many ways. 

And it hit me even harder when I fell ill a few days ago and did not have anyone by me. Tears accumulated in my eyes when I had called my mother, and she, staying thousands of miles away, tried comforting me just the way she did at home.

And I could not cry. All that crossed my mind were the moments when I had taken her care for granted. 

Last day, when I told  this to my mother, all she said was" This wasn't out of compulsion. You would understand all this when you be a mother".

Be a mother. Give birth to a child. Reproduce. 

Maybe, this simple natural phenomenon of reproduction to keep living things existing on Earth gave mothers the power to understand and feel everything that is going on in their child's mind. 

Maybe, it gave them the art of performing telepathy!
