Missing Mom: Scary days

One day Arya told me that he is scared.

I asked "Why Arya? Did you see any horror movie?"


"No pa, Amma is not here with me. You will also leave me soon. So I am scared."


I was shocked hearing this. It took some time to settle in me to get some words.

"What??? Who told you I will leave you? I will never leave you. We will be together always."

"No, only because of Corona you are with me now. Once Corona is gone, you will go to office. You will not be with me."

I understood to some extent what was going through in his mind.

"Don't worry Arya, I will get special permission from office and work from home even after Corona."

"Even now, you are full time on calls, you are not spending time with me. "

"Ok, I will try to reduce the calls. Are you happy?"

"Yes, but I will be more happy if Amma is with me." I am yet to find a word to console him.
