Niyati flinched the moment Shukla aunty left her house.
She hastily walked towards her room, trying to avoid any cross-questioning from her
mother.
‘Niyati,’ her mom called.
Niyati turned to look at her mother, feeling nervous. ‘It doesn’t matter
what others say,’ her mother said. ‘I trust you, completely!’ Her smile
reflecting warmth. ‘Come here.’ Her mother settled on the sofa.
‘You know
what, criticism is inevitable. Take it as a challenge. It encourages you. It makes you strong.’
Niyati gaped at her mother, she could feel her tension melting. ‘So I
managed to fool you.' Niyati thought as she forced a smile.

I detest that woman, trying to pull something over on her trusting mother. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteSometimes we loses a friend, but when you cannot confide in a mother you lose much more than that.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to have someone who trusts you and believes in you when the world out there is pulling you down!
