Her son passed his exams and was going to pursue his further studies. He required to stay in a hostel and so away from home. He loved his home, he loved his Sis, he could have never imagined to leave his Mom alone.

Since the death of his Dad things were hard. Everything fell upon her shoulders. He remembered how she had strived to feed them, to fulfill their needs. She was sick, but never gave up. And now, there she was to drop him at the hostel.

Her heart sank. She wasn't going to see her child for months. Pictures of him growing up since a baby unfolded before her eyes. Her child's smile. His favorites, his dislikes. How was he going to stay without her? She wanted to take her child away. Away from the unknown to keep him safe with her. Time was rude to her, and so was life.

Then, it was the hour to leave. He walked up to his Mom. Looked at her. He remembered how she used to keep his room tidy everyday. "Dont worry Ma, I ll take care of my cloths from now on." he said with a smile. Mom stared at him trying to read his eyes, hers almost blind with tears. "Sure son,", she said smiling back,"God bless you."

The car drove away from him and he kept tracing it untill out of sight. He knew, the tears and those moments were too precious, and yet his Mom the most precious of all. . .
