One day my mother and I went to a shopping mall. We both were in women's apparel section, suddenly I realized that 70% of mall is closed and probably rest of the sections will also close soon. So in a hurry I bought a wallet for myself, meanwhile my mother was seeing some Kurtis for herself. From a far end, a security guard was watching us with his perennial insight. At first I felt uncomfortably intrigued with his gaze, but suddenly a thought came to my mind that I should rather visit some other sections of the mall, which are downstairs. I went close to my mother and conveyed my willing about the same. I came downstairs, saw one bakery outlet from outside. It appeared that the outlet has just been closed for the public, but since I am an avid bakery lover I remain stood outside the bakery with all the fascination. It was nothing but a glass wall separation between us, so I was trying to capture each and every inch of that bakery in my eyes as if a little child is seeing a toy shop. I was in another world in that moment so I didn't realized from how long I was standing there. Then they closed the outer shutter of the bakery as well. So, I collected myself from there and brought back myself to the present and left the world of bakery. I realized that most of the outlets which were open earlier are being closed due to unknown reasons and some outlets have placed their mannequins outside as if they have started selling things outside the shop with reduced price tags. A lot of people started returning from those stores so I thought perhaps Maa will also be returning. Since crowd was huge I went outside the mall in a thought that I'll meet her there. Meanwhile I thought to pass the time in the shops which were just outside the mall. After a considerable amount of time, I thought that I should call and know Maa’s location. Her phone was out of reach, the very moment my child side came in the forefront and I started being anxious for Maa. I went inside the mall, where not even a single outlet was functioning, my anxiety got multi-folded. I tried to reach the outlet where I and Maa were standing some time ago, as if she would still be awaiting me there. The same security guard forcibly stopped me from going there and started misbehaving as if he desperately wanted the money. He found the same wallet in my bag, which I was owning from just a short time span. He took my wallet out, I fought back and snatched it with all my force. In the back of my mind I was thinking that without money, how Maa and I will reach home. With that thought I took the money out of that wallet and handed over the newly bought wallet to the security guard so that he can have money after selling it. I suddenly noticed many of the security personnel who were from national security agencies. I became extremely anxious to think about Maa's whereabouts. I headed in the direction from where those security personnel were coming and started screaming Maa… Maa… loudly, didn't realized whether I was screaming in my head or actually to the outside world. I saw a lady at the gate of a small room and 4-5 people were sitting just outside the room as if all were waiting for their turn to go inside. I was trying to recognize that lady who was standing there in the middle, I thought I really know her as if I have seen her somewhere. Leaving all my thoughts behind, I started enquiring about my mother to that lady, she was not in the state to understand my broken dialect. Suddenly I realized my Maa was the one sitting there to wait for her turn and to my surprise I saw that they all were rehearsing some dialogues and there was some audition going on for a movie. The very moment my anxiousness for Maa turned into a sense of proud that finally she has started chasing her dreams.
