The fear of loneliness

Finally, my entire enthusiasm for the play school began to fade away. Sad, but what to do? Mummy was the first to notice this morning that I was visibly down and sad. She sensed the reason and told papa about my state of mind. Thankfully, papa assured me that today mummy would stay with me at the school. And the very suggestion made me so much comfortable and good.

But how long? Ma’am after all has already told mummy that she could not stay with me at the play school for more than a day and that I will have to learn to stay at the school alone. She even told that all the children do cry in the beginning and that I won’t be an exception :-( So, at best mummy will be with me for one more day at the school. And after that, may be from Monday onwards, I will have to learn to live the ‘lonely life’ the hard way! O God! Please give me the strength when I need it the most!

Must mention, mummy was so impressed with the varieties of toys, tools and other learning aids that were there at the play school. She was so excited about all these, but I just wonder if she had been as excited if she were in my shoes! After all, I was no less excited about going to the play school when papa first took me there and let me play while he along with mummy were looking at me. I was more excited when we had gone to the market and bought bag, lunch box, water bottle, dancing gentle man etc. But how could I know at my so tender age that… May be with time I too will learn the way of life and its many associated lessons! Amen!
