MIRROR

It was a morning time unaware of the birds chirping ... A very expensive car was passing from the dull back alley of Mumbai, the city of Osho and Isha, the son of a wealthy father sitting in the back seat of the car and he was talking with someone by keeping their phone in speacker


Isha has a habit to sit in front of window . He feels natural air on his face, after that take  a small mirror in his hand and looking his face in it. Everything is going very quietly. There is a small child suddenly come in front of his car and the driver stop the car hardly.


Suddenly, the mirror sliping from Isha's hand falls out in the car.


"Driver uncle, drive a little carefully and what are you doing, my mirror was broken down..." Isha says ...



"Sorry little boy. little baby was came suddenly in front of car..." the driver replied


"Good good now take care ..."

Isha speaks with a smile.


Isha went ahead in the same car but the mirror was lying on the ground .. Seeing this, the little girl picked up the mirror and started looking at his face surprisely in mirror .. Since he had not seen anything like this in his house, the three-four year old  The child's surprise was reasonable.  The mirror was broken from middle but for this child living in poverty, the experience of seeing his face in the broken mirror was no less than a treasure. Happy, he runs to his mother go to play and save this mirror.



His Mother was not more in age but it was clear that she was suppressing her dreams under the burden of responsibility and compulsion. She takes the mirror from child's hand and goes to her room and close the door.  Tears welled up in his eyes as she thought about her poverty.



After a while, she put the broken mirror in front of her face, opened her eyes and started seeing her reflection in it.



"How many days have passed, look at your face !! Oh my God, I don't even think that I am still well applied !!

Hey Maitree Chandlo can do the same !!

If you look at the face  in the broken mirror, it will be ominous ...

Let it be pop .... I was wrong with this, the one above is my loser !!

How beautiful I was as a child ...

Ramli kaki tell me that I'm the most beautiful ... ha ha ha ha 😅😅

It's time for everyone to like me ...

But look now ... Haru is not even ready to give a lost job ...

If I had working a little harder, I would have been earning a good living by dancing ... Mawdi is still ...

I dance the best .... What Dharmesh say...... I LOVE DANCE ... but now age has passed ...

Okay ... what happened if I couldn't become a dancer ... a mirror can only be bought ... oh no how expensive is that Baba !!  It will cost a boy to eat in the circle of one of my mirrors ... who will spend so much !!

Let's go to work soon and even today's food expenses will be eaten up by this mirror ... "


Then she looking in the mirror, and thoughts that came to her mind started running away from the horse at a fast pace ... This broken mirror refreshed so many unspoken memories in the mind of a friend who worked all day and took care of herself  and her children ... after a while  Putting the mirror on the closet, he quickly went to work ...




Today, as I got more work during the day, I came home happily even through the night, she is satisfied with her salary.  While she was cooking, her son came ...


"Why are you wandering!"

Maitree speak..


"That's fair tonight ... I heard all things are cheap there ... take me away ..."

The little boy spoke enthusiastically.



"Good good ... talk at night .. let's wash your hands and mouth and sit down , may you be hungry ..."

Maitree looked at the boy and said ...


Instead of working, she looked at the money she  had saved ...


"If there is a fair, if someone gets a job on a lorry, she will collect the savings and take a new mirror.

Yeah All that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like BT aint for me either.

How much fun will it be ....

I can see myself every day ....

I will put a mirror on the opposite wall ...

The house will also look cool then ...

Let's go home after finishing work ... "


As she watched, she got lost in thoughts again ... The mirror that fall from the hands of Isha, who was partying on Amir Bapa's money, had started to sow the seeds of many hopes and dreams in the mind of the friend who was living a dull life ....


It got dark in Jyot Jyot ... and Maitree's boy insisted on going to the fair again ... Maitree took her boy to the house with the boys on the left and went home and collected the money from him.  ..And went out to meet the boy ...



In the first shop of the fair, she gave currency notes to a casual shopkeeper and took currency notes in return.

The casual estimate turned out to be about six hundred rupees. Going further, he put the boy in a toy shop and went to a vegetable shop at the fair and started asking for work for an hour, but he could not find any special job as fast food was sold everywhere in plastic-paper utensils.  Being a woman, it didn't seem possible to get any other work at night ...





There was no other way but to persuade her to go back ... Sadly, she overtook her boy ...

When the fair came to an end, he finally saw a home decor shop and for the last time she decided to go there and ask for the price of a mirror for peace of mind ... The shopkeeper there seemed to be asleep due to meeting a special customer ...



"Brother " speaks maitree


"Yeah huh ... tell me what do you want?" Said the shopkeeper a little hesitantly


"Brother, show me this mirror," maitree said


"See sister .." the shopkeeper showing the mirror "


"How beautiful it is ..."

There is a gleam on the frustrated face of Maitree speaking so much.


"Didi, there are girls like you who look in a beautiful mirror."

The shopkeeper spoke in praise.


"How much it is?”


"So it's 700 but for you it is 650”

The shopkeeper answers



"Six hundred and fifty ... show me something cheap, brother, it will cost a lot ..."

Maitree speaks with the desire to lower the price in mind


"Well, if you say, brother, it is special for me but for you it is just 500 rupees ,but I can't afford it ..."

The shopkeeper lowered the price ...


"Good good brother pack ... 😊"

Maitri smiled and said that she was happy to get a mirror in her budget




But his happiness disappeared in an instant when she looked at her wallet ... there was only 300 rupees in her wallet ... thinking she remembered that she handed the wallet to the boy and went to work when the boy threw money from his wallet in a small temple nearby.



The money collected from the earnings of the night of friendship has fallen in a temple in the name of God.


Eventually she went home with tears in her eyes.  At the end of the day, she decided to go to bed.  Seeing her reflection in the water falling in the bucket for bathing, thousands of emotions arose in her mind .....



In this life of Maitree full of poverty and compulsions, another dream was shattered or she adapted to live with one more deficiency ... There will be many other people in India who do not know about friendship like this, who are making new adaptations every day ....




THANKYOU SO MUCH
