Chapter 120 - MA... (2/2)

”Yes...ma...I am just so tired” Siddharth said in an inaudible voice and rested his head on her shoulder slowly.

”I know you are...” Mrs.Ray said softly.

”You know Ma... I just need some time alone away from all of these” Sid sighed softly.

”Hmm...” Mrs.Ray hummed softly.

”Ma...I want to propose Polen officially and marry her...I want to give her the dream marriage she always talked about...I want to see her laugh again... want to see Tara to become the most successful businesswoman of this country...I want to take all of them on the vacation I promised them years ago...I want to attain the book launch function of Sumit...I want to play tennis with Travis and Jeff again... I want Sourav to teach me some tech stuffs ... I want so many things but...I just don't have time ....I am always running...I want to stop now” Sid closed his eyes and sighed once again.

”Stop sighing so much...” Mrs.Ray smiled softly and held his hands tightly.

”It's okay if you are still not there...it's okay if you are lacking something right now maybe it's time that you are lacking right now but it's okay...it's okay if you are tired you should not be ashamed of this..it's fine if you want to stop for now” Mrs.Ray patted his shoulder softly.

”Ma...I can't stop now” Sid said in a sad tone.

”I know and you should not stop now too...I know you never wanted to enter the company but on the other hand I have never seen someone as skilled as you handling this company...Sid I know you never choose this but beleive me I can never imagine any other person in that chair other than you!” Mrs.Ray smiled softly.

”Sid you were always my favourite you know why because you never stopped no matter what...you were always that force of nature that made everyone around them live freely...I know you feel very lonely right now but please look around you once more there are many people waiting for you...try forgiving people around you and most importantly try to forgive yourself...” Mrs.Ray hugged Sid softly.

”Maa...” Sid said in a broken voice.

”Hmm...I am here” Mrs.Ray said in a soft voice.

Sid cried for a long time that night seeking refuge in his mother's embrace.

The whole garden was silent and the moon was shining alone in that dark sky, everything was quiet and dark but there too was a hope of a new morning, of the sun and of warmth just like there was still some hope inside Sid's heart.
