Even though it was an usual day, Urvi still was muddled. One of the most talking girl was sitting quite , silently putting her chean on elbow supported by the window of her school van observing the running trees. Today she was not enjoying the breeze . She was in dilemma. She does share each and every little thing with mom but this time..! Her friend made fool out of her. “Look Urvi , we do know your mom is “kinda your best friend “ but that doesn't mean you should share such things to her, now you are grown up now you should now be used to with matters as such” one of her friend nagged at her. She WAS aware of it . But she was even uncertain with this change that being grown up means start hiding things from your parents? And the answer from all around her was YES!
When she entered home, she was into her daily routine, removing shoes,changing cloths, getting refresh . Was trying to pretend to be normal. But Moms are wise enough to get everything. Mom did notice something unalike today. It must be because of hungry stomach she thought. Mom served her chapati-jam rolls. Today Urvi was not even enjoying her meal. Mom finally came up with a question, “whats wrong Urvi? You had a fight in school” Urvi was not at all surprised by mom’s acuity of observing the change in her mood. She didn't respond to her. Mom knew Urvi will talk to her about “what’s wrong” later.
After an hour , Urvi sat near mom. “I wanna tell you something.” Urvi began. Mom controlling her smile said “go ahead” . Urvi still was confused looking into her mom’s eyes, whether she is doing right by telling this to mom, is she grown up or still a child , how exactly will mom react on this? And many more such doubts . She got all her courage, all she knew right now was “i m just going to tell this to her, let's give it a shot!” She took a deep breath n said “ I don't know how to start ,but..there is a guy from 10th std , he said he loves me , he kinda proposed me for dating , some of our friends from his class and even mine were convincing me to accept his “proposal” but I said No. That's it” waiting for a moment “yeah that's it!” looking at mom with puzzled eyes Urvi still was not sure about how mom will react.
Mom gave a smile ("atleast this was not expected" Urvi thought), and said “So?” Urvi got more confused by now. “There is NOTHING to be upset in this, do u like that guy?”( Again an unexpected respond , how can she ask this!) “ NO!” an sudden reaction came from Urvi. “ Relax , why are you getting so upset? It's totally fine. He is in 10th std , you guys are in a age where you may like someone , it's not his fault. It's just that you all should be clear with the fact that, this is NOT a love. It…” “exactly , even i said this to shraddha that this is not love,this is something very bad..” interrupting her mom Urvi was now getting communicative. On this Mom suddenly came up with “Why is this “bad” Urvi? Liking someone can't be bad , its just that he named it as love . It may turn into love but in future when you all will grown-up . But now you all should be friends , you both should be friends. Take it as a compliment . Don't make him feel guilty. Boys are not bad. Don't stop enjoying by being so conscious because of someone's presence around you.” “But my friends are teasing me by his name. I don't like it!” “ they will of course, but that doesn't mean it is because of that guy. And according to your friends this is something interesting to have fun. It's now your job to not let this affect your enjoyment n study ofcourse. If you will remain unaffected, people will stop teasing you.” By now Urvi got one thing in her mind , 'no one is bad’ ! Mom continued “ henceforth you will come across such experiences, someone may like you which is natural, and I know you will take a right decisions which will be right for your age,studies. People may “tease” you even if that's not your fault. And this is how you will learn to handle them , cop up with it, and enjoy it.”
By now Urvi got almost every question amswered, She Is grown up but also a child, She should have enjoyed it instead of being anxious, no one is wrong, She would have remain stupid by worried about this mere “issue” if wouldn't have told this to her Mom . And so most importantly what she got to know was, “henceforth” no matter what experience will be , she WILL share those with her mom, cause mom DOES understands her and has answer for every doubt, grown-up actually means talking to our mom more clearly!
Mom could clearly see the joy of uncovering on Urvi’s pretty face. To break the unnecessary silence , mom went ahead and said “ so someone is looking pretty nowadays , boys like someone , let's hope that this “someone” doesnt turn away from her books!” On this Urvi finally after so long blushed and rolling her eyes responded “oh please Mom!” by saying this she got off the bed and walked out of the room! Mom sat there looking her daughter leaving the room with the mischievous smile , satisfied knowing her daughter turning into her new best friend. She was equally excited in steping into her daughter's new journey of life, her teenage!
