Unforgettable Days of my life, when i was a learner, my daughter was a teacher.

The long awaited summer vacation after two years. Our plan was that I should leave with our DDs and my DH will join after 15 days are so. Since, he was planning to change his job, he had lot of jobs to complete.
My DDs are more thrilled than us. So, we started to India.
Sitting in the Airport Launge, my DH was telling me, it might not be possible for him to join us even after 15-20 days , as there are lot of formalities to be completed, one among that was we should be back in Bahrain before he changes his visa. Then it would be easier for us to change our visas. (NRIs will definitely understand). But he didn’t want me to disclose to our DDs, because they will be more disappointed. I was so upset, but I didn’t want to disappoint my DDs.
Then, we reached India!!!!!!!!! We went to my second Piranda Veedu (I shouldn’t say, it is my Pugunda Veedu, because, everybody in my in-laws side are so good to me, I don’t feel like it is pugunda veedu). Unfortunately, My MIL (she likes me vvvvvvvvvvvery much) and FIL are no more. Still I go to my BIL’s place only when we go to India.
Two days after we reached India, was my younger daughter’s birthday. I should really tell about her, because the whole story is about her. She is so naughty, talkative, straight-forward and lovable child. She always likes to have people around her. Everybody in my Brother in Law’s family treats her like “Maharani”. My brother-in-law’s son is almost of my DH’s age (4 years younger) because my DH is the youngest in the family. My daughter is her Anna’s pet. So, her Birthday was celebrated in a grand manner, with my Brother in law’s family, sister-in-law’s family , around us and she had a nice time. It was her “ dream come true”.
The same day night, we felt that there is something wrong with her. Yes, We were right, next day morning, we noticed that she was having Chicken Pox. Everybody was so upset, since my brother-in-law’s son has two daughtes and my sister in law has two grand children and my elder daughter was also there. I had to take her to my Brother-in-Law’s another house (they have two shops, one my BIL is taking care and the other one his son) where only my Brother – in – Law stays. Only three of us were there, myself, my Brother in Law and my younger daughter. Everybody can understand how painful it would be for her to digest this, with lot of dreams she travelled to India, she was kept away from everybody, she has to bear the pain also, over and above that she is not a type of person who can sit in one place or keep quiet even for a second.
I felt so sorry for her, and one night,when she couldn’t bear the pain, she cried. I also broke out crying. Here, she is suffering from Chicken Pox, my elder daughter is alone (even though, relatives were there, she was missing us), and DH is all alone managing house and office. My daughter, immediately she got up and she said “ don’t cry mummy, it is not that much painful for me, see I am not crying. In another few days, I will become all right. Don’t cry.” I just broke and told her “ OK, OK, I will not cry. GOD is there with you now, that’s why it is not painful for you, don’t worry. You will become all right”. I just consoled her. From that day, till the 15<SUP>th</SUP> day, she never complained about itching, paining or anything. She had that much patience to bear everything.
That time, I really realized that we were thinking that this girl is so childish, playful and naughty, but the way she spoke really touched my heart. I never imagined about her in that way.
I feel really very proud of my daughter.

After 15 days, she was perfectly all right.
