Me and my brother are always the Chamathu kuttys who
accompany our grandmother when the whole family leaves out. Our Grandmother
was very sweet and she would be pleased with both of us when we both stayed
back at home for her. Our mothers would have prepared the dinner and kept ready
for our granny. Our job was just to serve her.
There are few instances where I would have started along
with everyone but later, when everyone steps out of house I’ll just give an am-
not- coming announcement and will pounce at the sofa and watch TV. My granny
would be much pleased with this last minute decision.
That day night after my Papa and Grand Pa returns she would sweetly
say “Only P & S loves me so much. Wherever their mothers & other
siblings go, they love staying with me and taking care of me. I am really
blessed to have such grand children who care me more than anyone in this
world.” My father would smile with a pride (because of the way he has brought
up his daughter…. Yeah! It is MEEEEE!)
All these were 12 to 15 years back.
Lately, when my grandmother expired (3 years back), me and my brother recollected
the memorable moments with her.
Me: Hey! How can this happen to her?
P: hmmmm… I cannot believe this end to such a sweet person.
Me: Yeah. How she used to love us and care for us na?
P: All those moments are still unforgettable de. She used to
give enough of money whenever we stayed at home when she was alone.
Me: She loved us so much that she used to give without our
mother’s knowledge. (As they would scold if we have outside food.)
P : Even when we said we were not willing to have in the
mess she would insist us to have little before our mothers come na? She was
indeed sweet. She never disclosed to anyone that she gave us money.
Me: In childhood we loved being with her because she used to
give money and would ask us to have whatever we wished. But later as we grew ,
we started realizing her affection da. Henceforth we are going to miss her
love.
P: True. As we would send your sister and my sister along
with our mothers , we were so much close with granny.
Me: I remember those days.. Even when they were ready to
stay with grandma we both would somehow convince them and send them out. (As we
did not wanted to divide the money which our granny gave with anyone)
P: She was so much pleased with us and used to tell out
father’s that we were best. Really her loss is gonna be unbearable.
We both really missed our granny and revealed all the
childhood secrets in distress. But then, both our sisters came to know of it and
they disclosed it our mothers too. It was anyhow too late that they came to
knew. So they did not bother much.
Even this day they both tease me &P for what we did 15
years back.
But till date my father doesn’t know this truth. As far as
he is concerned we both are still the same chamathu kuttys who used to care our
granny much even when we were kids. He loves us fot that!!
Closing Note : It is always better to keep few hidden things as
hidden forever.
So better don't disclose it to my father.
