Girl in the shadow:Be the reason of someone's happiness

“Maa chai Pilo” a sound striked in my ears I just looked back shipra was standing with Tea and some refreshments.She was approaching me.Then asked “Maa aaj khane mein kya banana hai”

I said “jo tumhe achha lage”

 I am sharda wife of a very rich businessman.I have two children Nancy and shaurya.And she is shipra she is not my own child but she is more then that.Everyday she is with me in happy or sad hours.I took the cup of tea as she offered me.My memories ran down to the past when I adopted her.It was almost 23 years back.

A child was walking through the streets, singing and dancing in the rain,she was lost in her own world.She stays in near by slums.I used to see her everyday on my way to office.Some times she's happy when she is full of meals or some ones gives a token of pitiness like money or food.Sometimes she doesnt have any of them still she plays with the kids around.

She is always in a happy mood whenever I saw her I felt as if life is not all about how we treat the good and the bad times.
The way i was leading a life with some hectic schedules,packing for outstation,running for my family,money was flowing ,good sources of income for both of us well settled life.But some thing was missing.I have lost my self somewhere.I have lost the real me.I have lost the kid in me.

My life just got saturated to my family my kids my husband and the people around.There is no time where I can sit alone and can give time to my self.The girl which I saw every day made me realized how happy she is although she doesnt have chunks of lavishness or the fairytale world But the happiness,that smile always run through my mind.She has that sense of satisfaction on her face.

I have all sources of materalistic happiness ,I was in search of that satisfaction that trueness that liveness which I have missed in the past.Passion for success,money,a good hubby,a high profile life with all luxuries.I have two children but they lived in their own world of money and making new friends.

One day I decided to met that girl and wanted to know the reason of her happiness.I went to that slum found the girl.I used to give her chocolates everyday and sometimes clothes of my kids
I found the time for her she was happy.Slowly we were good friends.She used to call me “Amma” I laughed so much then I asked to her guardians,her parents in an accident.She was sent to mandirs and other places by them to stand and ask for money.I was not feeling good seeing her in such a condition so I adopted her.

My family was against her but I supported her made her educated.My daughter never asked me how I am.She got married to an MBA graduate with whom she was studying in London and she settled down there.

My son was like his father involve in his business.Shipra was the only person who gave me new reason to live a new life.I was brought up in middle class family and I wanted to give those good values to my children but belong to high society.Shipra became my aim of life.I treated her like my daughter I gave her all good values.She also learnt them well.She completed her studies.Iwhen she was in colleg she used to share each and every thing with me.When she grew younger I found a suitable match for her and she got married.She took a flat on rent in my near by building.I taught her to call me "Maa".

But she used to sat most of the time with me.She cooks food for me.She spends most of the time with me.She was the girl who was in shadow.My husband is on tours with big deals and dealings.No time for me.
I and the Shipra sitting besides my window sipping cup of tea.She was with me when my own were no more for me.She has a small family with few necessities.She sits besides me everyday talking about her family her kids and we laugh together,gigles,enjoys.

She is no more shadow.She is the light in my room when there was darkness of loneliness.She is only the reason to keep me brighten up whole day long…….I just waked up from little nap I heard she was asking me for the dinner menu…it’s all where my story gives a new beginning to my life…… !!!!!!!!

Life is not all about earning lots of money name and fame.Life is all about what you earned at the last moments of your life,the love care and the quality time of our near ones......Give time especially to parents when they are old and they need you at the most !!!!!!
