Us samay main bahut chhota tha. Meri maa ka dehant ho chuka tha. Mere paas maa ka pyaar aur sahara nahi tha. Papa roz kaam par jaate the. Jab bhi mumkin hota, woh mujhe apne saath le jaate, lekin har din aisa karna sambhav nahi tha. Mujhe sambhalna aur kaam karna, dono ek saath unke liye bahut mushkil tha.
Kuch saal baad Papa ne socha ki mujhe ek maa ki zarurat hai, jo mera khayal rakh sake. Isi liye unhone doosri shaadi karne ka faisla kiya. Ek din Papa aur unke saath kaam karne wale ek mazdoor mujhe cycle par bitha kar ladki walon ke ghar le gaye. Papa cycle chala rahe the aur main unke peeche baitha tha. Wahan sab logon ne baat-cheet ki. Dono parivaron ne ek-doosre ko pasand kiya aur rishta tay ho gaya.
Waise main apni nayi maa se pehle bhi mil chuka tha. Papa jis jagah kaam karte the, wahi meri maa bhi kaam karti thi. Us jagah bahut dhool-mitti hoti thi, isliye wahan kaam karne wale mazdooron ko har hafte gud (jaggery) diya jaata tha.
Kai baar meri maa mujhe cycle par bitha kar gud lene dukaan jaati thi. Woh cycle chalati thi aur main peeche baithkar unse baatein karta rehta tha. Bachpan ki woh chhoti-chhoti yaadein aaj bhi mere dil me basi hui hain.
