I remember I was seven or eight years old, I was ill and my all body was full of heat rashes.

           In the big dawn, I could not sleep more so I with my naked body, gunky eyes and falling boogers from my nose went to the kitchen where my paradise mother was baking breads. As her eyes noticed me, she stood up from her blessed place and with her massive love came to me and kissed my forehead and cheeks and exclaimed with love, "Oops! Why have you come out? I am always sacrificed for you; I am always available for you my love." 

I said nothing and she took me in the kitchen and there I felt sleepy, I put my head on her lap, I felt relief and she then started singing lullaby, after some minutes as she ended baking breads. With her pleasurable hands, she touched my head and she kept my head on her chest and took me outside near the tap where she watched my gunky eyes and falling boogers. After that she asked, “Will you take tea?" I nodded my head for "No". 

I was actually feeling totally energy less. She took me to the kitchen back and started doing her usual activities, doing her domestic work she also was praising me as a groom "The day is near,

My beloved will be a pair".

My mother always praised me and always compared me to a groom and she was comparing me to a groom at that time as well so I asked my mother with sorrow, “Mama!"

She turned her attention toward me, "Yes dear!" She exclaimed with love. “Mama! You always compare me to a groom but when I see the mirror, I am so much ugly and horrendous."

Mama smile and replied,"

Leave mirror, it tells lie."
