The Gift...

Today was a special day. It was her birth day. I wanted to gift her something special. After several days of thinking, I finally made my mind to gift a jewel. I woke in the morning at 10. She stood before me with a coffee like a kid eagerly waiting for her exam result. With no reaction, I took the coffee from her and went out to read newspaper.
She came and sat next to me. I can see the disappointment in her. But I did not want to spoil the surprise. I wondered how she will react to my gift. I know she loves me more than anything in the world. We have always shared everything. There was not even a single secret between us. We had several fights too. There was one fight after which I saw her crying alone in the kitchen. That was the last time I fought with her.
Every day I wish I spend some time with her but I never got a chance to do that. Today she came and sat next to me. I looked at her. She was expecting me to say something. After a minute, I spoke. “Is my breakfast ready?” With disappointment and frustration, she went to prepare breakfast. But still she was not angry with me. I didn’t want to make her wait anymore. This is the right time for me to give her my gift.
I still can’t wait to see her expression when I hand over that to her. I wish she will tell me that she loves me. Even though I know she loves me, she has never told this to me. All words are not special. But when it comes from a special person, it gives us a feeling that we are at the top of the world even though the person who tells don’t realize how we value that.
I slowly went to the drawer, took my gift and went to the kitchen. Hiding it behind me, I touched her. She turned and looked at me. “It’s for you” I said handing over the gift. Unwrapping the gift, she stared at me. With a little drop of tears at her eyes, she gave me a smile that I felt will fill my senses forever. Wiping her tears I said “I love you, Mom” and walked away. Still she did not speak the words that I expected her to. But there are no words in earth that can ever express the way how we feel for others, are they?
