Swara's POV:
As much as I wanted to plan my life, it had a way of surprising me with unexpected things that would make me sadder than I originally planned. Was not it an irony of my fate? I was preparing to face my real mother after giving my blood samples to laksh for checking purpose. But what result I had got of the blood samples, changed my life upside down. Just like a brewing tornado it came & passed but all my emotions were uprooted like twisted webs of spider.
How could the result even come as negative? She was my mother then why didn't the samples match? Even before I could think much and ask laksh more about it, the ward boy came & said,"Sir! The patient in room no 307 has gained consciousness & wanted to meet her saviour." Laksh nodded & the ward boy left the place.
Laksh said,"Swara! Come, let's go to meet her." In a confusing tone, I asked,"Laksh! Have you checked the samples properly? I mean how can this be possible?" Like me, laksh was also confused & frustrated as this was the fifth time I was asking him the same queries. In a bit angry tone, he replied,"I have checked the samples in front of you, swara! And how can I know; why the samples don't match?? Why don't you directly ask the patient?? She also wants to meet you now." Like a flummoxed soul, I agreed with him & proceeded to face the real challenge of my life.
I entered inside the room no. 307 and laksh waited outside to give us some privacy. As soon as I entered, shomi was staring at me like she had seen ghost in front of her. With much agony & anticipation, I yelled,"Sound sleep na mother!! Oh sorry! Sorry! Mother or a betrayer..." Now I was burning like the volcanic magma which could engulf everything with its ionization capability. She was gazing at me intently without uttering a single word.
In fury, I clamored,"What shall I call you shomi suryavansi? Oops! My fault! The lady who hasn't tried to search for her daughter in all these years, why the hell will she be bothered about my calling of her name? Huh! I am expecting a lot na.. But mother; where is your multi billionaire husband with whom you have eloped? So sad na! He hasn't even come to visit you once.... Oh! Swara .. Again your fault! May be he isn't at all aware about her condition. Not to worry mother! Give me his number & I will inform him.."
Though in a chuckling voice I uttered, but my burning anguish was compiling after viewing her silence. I banged the table and yelled,"Speak up you bloody woman.." Dramatic irony! She was sobbing! And with lots of pain & in a low voice, she said,"I don't have my husband.. He......"
Before she could say further, I snapped back,"Oh! He has also left you the way you have left me. Poor mother! Have you heard the word 'Punishment'.. I guess, 'Yes'. So, do good and good will come to you. But you has done wrong. Anyways for you, do bad & worst will come to you..."
I was a bit relieved as she wasn't enjoying her life lavishly. God had already punished her for her mistakes. But surprising me, she said,"Swara! I have suffered a lot in my life for my only mistake. I have loved a wrong guy.." When I heard my name from her mouth for the first time, I was in fury & yelled,"Don't utter my name from your insane mouth. It is my hospitality that I am not behaving evilly with you. And not one mistake mother! Your memory has faded with your old age. Minimum two mistakes.. The mistake of leaving your infant child.. What's my mistake if God has conceived you & implanted me in your womb. I have no control to it, right. Then why me?? Why??" & by saying so I struck the table again.
This time, she said in a bit louder voice,"Enough swara! Enough! I have never left you as you aren't my daughter & I am not insane but these situations have reflected me such.." What! What I had just heard.. I wasn't her daughter. Was that the cause of the mismatch of blood samples??
In a confusing state, I said,"Huh! At least have some guts to accept me as your daughter. I have never expected of your motherly care. But show some courage to accept your misdeed.." I bravely uttered all these statements to know the exact truth & to eradicate my confusion.
In an ensuring voice, she said,"Trust me swara! I am also a victim in the hands of destiny just like you." I sniggered & said,"Trust! And that to a woman like you.. Ha! Ha! Trust gets smaller with every mistake and you have done a blunder. Still as my mom says,'Every culprit must get a chance to prove her innocence & honesty.' So, go ahead.. I am listening.."
Just after that she narrated to me all the incidents happened with her & before concluding her sayings, she said,"If you don't believe me then go & ask your mom about it and I am not feeling sorry for telling you the truth because I believe, you deserve to know it by now." I was stressed and unable to handle all the truths at a time.
Till now I was living in an illusion. My mom, Annapurna Suryavansi was my real mom. I loved her from the core of my heart but she had broken my trust. Now I got the cause of my mismatch of blood samples as she wasn't my real mother rather my foster mother was the real one.
Now I understood the cause of hatred of shekhar suryavansi for me. Who would shower his affection to an illegitimate child of her wife? He was absolutely correct at his own place. And Ram Prasad Bijlani.... Somewhere I heard this name but where?? I focused in my memory lane & suddenly remembered him as sanskar's father. It meant shomi was the lady with whom sanskar's dad had extramarital affair. But he could be any other man as well. Might be this Ram Prasad wasn't the same person though situations were similar.
To confirm my doubt, I asked,"Who is Ram Prasad Bijlani? I mean you have said that he is in a relationship with you despite being married. Just for conformation, can you please tell me about his offsprings?" Shomi nodded & replied,"Yes! He has a son named as sanskar." What!! S..A..NS..KARRRR....
Looking at my surprised appearance & fumbled voice, she asked,"Are you alright?" I reacted positively & asked,"As you have already said that his wife has known about you and this affair but does sanskar know about you?" I already knew that this time the reply would come negative as sanskar had himself told that he didn't know the lady with whom his father had extramarital affair.
But breaking my hopes, shomi replied,"Yes! Before some days he has confronted me & he has known this truth & felt sorry for my condition." Now this was something for which I was totally unprepared.
Every life was complicated, every mind was a kingdom of unmapped mysteries and like always I was at the receiving end. Breaking my thoughts, the door was opened & the nurse instructed me to move out of the room as the patient needed rest now & the saline bottle needed to be changed. I complied & moved out of the room.
Life had pounded me down & thrashed me around. Time and time again, but I always got right back up because I still loved life. But not anymore. I couldn't handle this betrayal. The lady whom I had been hating since my childhood was at no fault & my closed ones betrayed me. My mind was jammed & my vision became blur. My head was aching & I couldn't walk properly & collapsed on the floor. Everything was blacked out, just like the center of supermassive black hole....
