That child !!

I saw her from a distance. She seemed innocent and her heart was pure. I could see the purity of her heart in her smile. She was really enjoying her life to the fullest. She didn't had any tension regarding her studies. She was neither worried about her career nor her cut off percentage. It seemed as if it was her last day in the earth. She was not worried about her future at all.

I had a strong feeling that I had met that child before. I was familiar with her carefree nature and indifferent attitude. I was familiar with her peaceful mind and pure heart. But my memories had betrayed me. I was feeling as if time had made me powerless and I was struggling for my existence.

I was not being able to talk to the child. I was struggling hard to solve my queries and then something beyond my expectation was waiting for me. I saw her.. the child's mother. It was her... my mother and she was calling the child by my name. What a confusing state? How is my mother suppose to be here? What a coincidence the child and I share the same name? And when I inspected the child closely, I saw that scar in her forehead. I was in my childhood and the girl who was so familiar to me was me....
