Episode 3 - Maa

“I’m moving to Mumbai” I told Ma, one day.
Ma made me sit next to her and traced the lines on my palm.
‘Arey’, she exclaimed.
There was a nip in the air,
a comforting sun looked over us.
We were sitting in the verandah.

I asked her, “what happened?”
She sighed, and said,
“You don’t have a fortune line, my son.
You’ll have to toil a lot.”
I started rubbing my hands, almost in reflex.
Mom said, “This won’t help.”
“But there’s one good thing, here.
You have the hands of a labourer.”, she said.

That moment, a beautiful butterfly sat on her shoulder.
Does the butterfly remember that it was a caterpillar once?
Does a bird ever seek its fortune in its palms?
Thinking this, I shrugged my shoulders.

And left.
