| 15 | + - best gift for life |
| 16 | +description: |
| 17 | + She gave me the best gift without even knowing it—she made the impossible happen. Just for a moment, just in a dream, she placed me right beside her. But reality… |
| 18 | +--- |
| 19 | +It was almost too late. I was running like crazy, trying to reach my classroom before the bell rang. My heart was racing, my breath uneven, but none of it mattered—until I stepped inside. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +There she was. Sitting at the last second bench. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +Everything else faded. The noise, the people, even their faces—I couldn’t see anything except her. I somehow found a seat, but I couldn’t see her properly. I kept shifting, adjusting, trying every possible angle to catch a glimpse. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +Then suddenly—my mom walked into the classroom. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +Damn. Is she my class teacher? |
| 28 | +Ahh shit. I was cooked. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +Before I could process what was happening, she came straight to me. “Take your bag,” she said, and in the next moment, I was sent to the girls’ row. To sit beside her. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +Right beside her. Like bench mates. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +She started talking, and I… I was just staring at her. Like a crazy fool. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +That feeling—it was enough for this life. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +I always hated the fact that my mother was a teacher. But this time, she was an angel. She gave me the best gift I could ever receive—she made the impossible happen by making me sit beside her. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +But then… |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +I woke up. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +It was a dream. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +Or was it? Because deep down, I know something similar happened in my childhood. Maybe not exactly like this, but this moment—this emotion—had been triggered again. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +And she was the reason. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +She sent a childhood snap yesterday. It was her photo, but that [child—Harshi](https://github.com/ekrishnachaitanya2004/Krishna-Site-Doc/blob/main/27JUL2023/1fc47516-4cd6-4f1a-85bf-73c205d487da.jpeg?raw=true)—belongs to me. I take every part of her childhood as mine. Every memory, every glimpse—I make it mine. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +Yet, after waking up, I felt happy. |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +I do get nightmares sometimes. But it’s different now. My mind isn’t haunted by fear—it’s haunted by her. A name, a face, a moment—and suddenly, she’s there in my thoughts again. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +But I can’t make it real. |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +My mom is not an angel anymore because she is the reason I missed her this much. She was the one who stopped me from joining SRM College, and that decision changed everything. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +She’s gone. |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +I just… missed her. |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +But the pic she sent—it’s epic. I’m gonna keep it with me for life. When she left for the first time, I searched everywhere for a photo of her. I searched… and searched… tried every possible way. But back then, there was no social media, no way to just scroll and find her. |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +And honestly, I love those days. The time I spent with her was the only time I was truly happy, truly smiling. Maybe everything I do is for her. Maybe I live for her. |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +Maybe… I’ll feel the same way again after marriage. 🥰 |
