Adi was her first born. He had brought her joy, pride and
attainment the moment, the nurse had put him in her lap. That feeling was one
its kind, something she had never felt ever before. The love she had for Adi
was selfless and unconditional …or so she thought.
She wanted the best for him; she had dreams for him, dreams
that overtook her love for him somewhere.
When Adi confessed her love for Rukhsaar, his eyes reflected
the undying trust in her mother’s love for him. He knew she would never ever say
no.
But so he thought.

This post is written for the 100 Words on Saturday on Write Tribe. This goes for all those parents who somewhere forgot to draw a line between their dreams and the dreams of their children. Their dreams should not and cannot be a condition for their love. Its true that mother gives life to his child, but still it is his life. No one owns it ..no one should expect to.
how true! often dreams do overtake love for a person and unconditional love becomes conditional. Nice take Apoorva :)
ReplyDeleteParents have unconditional love... but situations like this arise too :) Nice take!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post. Parents love is sometimes selectively conditional, sad but true.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... Food for thought there. Even parents sometimes cannot love unconditionally.
ReplyDeleteLiked the way you end this - "But so he thought." Very nicely written!

Hmmm.... but they say if it's conditional, it is not love!! Nice story there!!
ReplyDeleteEverything should be in moderation - even unconditional love. Good story.. and very well narrated :)
