25th November, 2015 at 01.05 a.m. She came
in my life and for the first time I felt such a beautiful touch in my life;
which I had never experienced before that day and that time when she entered in
my life. She was as soft as cotton, as beautiful as fairy and as pious as holy
temple. Time passed so fast; piousness of her heart I realized when she started
her schooling and when she wiped my tears for the first time. Simultaneously
she was also teaching me a simple meaning of this beautiful life.
Khushi who is my 10 year old niece. I live with my
niece alongwith my parents and unfortunately to say she lives with me without her
own parents. Still, I always tried my best to make her comfortable with me
while sharing any sort of her part of story. Buddy parenting is not that easy
part of parenthood and I can stand by this statement because I am the one who is facing such
situation in my real life. I am a girl
of 25 year old; "lawyer by profession, blogger by passion and guardian of my niece
without any hesitation".
Life was not so simple when I was handling my niece
when she was just 2 year old and started living with me and my parents without
having her own parents. I was adult eighteen when I accepted to love her and be
like a mother figure for her. Life was going on with the flow of time and my
Khsuhi had to take admission as she was compatible enough to start her first
pace towards life.
One fine morning I visited a school alongwith Khushi; which
was nearby to my residential place. Khushi did like the school but it was tough
to get the admission over there and she had to clear her pre –admission test as
well. I was really nervous when her interview was going on with the pre-primary
section’s principal but I was sure enough that she will clear her life’s first interview
and it was so true. We all were excited and started preparing her mind towards school.
She was also looking bit excited as she was not like other kids who generally
cry, scream and shout but luckily my angel was confident enough to go to
school.
With the time she was being very mischievous. Her
teasing style, her laugh, and her happiness really filled my life with great
memories. Back to back she was filling
my life with some new incidents sometimes fight with classmates, friends, and
colony friends and sometimes with her own best friends. Each day she used to tell
me her new story which caused her pain or happiness.
I remember one incident when she wanted to participate in
her school’s annual function but her class teacher refused to take her as she
was not regular in her class due to her ill health. That day she came to me and
asked me if I can help her to solve such a grievous problem of her life.
Well, it
was not that serious in nature but I could understand her elegant 8 year old
heart. I decided to meet her class teacher in order to sort out her life’s tiny
trouble but important too and subsequently I met her teacher; somehow I assured her teacher that she
will be regular and will be practising properly
for annual day’s dance performance. Her teacher agreed and noted my word but it
was a time where I also had to struggle with her to make sure her health should
not get affected. Successfully she performed during her annul day and for the
first time she made me to feel proud on her.
I remember her
second incident when she was teased by one colony’s 8 year old boy and due to
that incident she decided to not to go out to play with colony friends. Well,
it was really tough to make her understand that people will always mock about
you but it doesn't mean that you will hide your face due to that fear. But my awesome
angel understood this complicated rule of life within few days and I got her
smile back once again with full flow.
I remember when we both used to eat Maggie and Kelloggs
Chocos and we used to fight a lot. Kelloggs' Chocos 10 rupees packet used to make
our day great and all thanks to Kelloggs' team because of that she started drinking
milk atleast. Now she is 10 year old;
her innocent activities taking technological pace and she is getting attracted towards
laptops, mobile phones and tablets but I really miss her when she was not aware
of these technologies. But still today; when she sees me with the bowl of milk
and Kelloggs' Chocos, she jumps and try hard to take the bowl from me. Though she
never succeeds; how poor she is!! :P :P
Whatever the life is but I always have tried to
understand if you want a real kid in your kids always understand them and think
from their point of view because they have huge imaginary world and sometimes you
have to stand in their shoe to understand their imaginations.
Be friend with them and trust me you will get best
friend in return.
