A Teacher's cry !

Few years back a student of mine, whom I used to teach

English, came to visit me. She was around 16/17 years old

when she last attended my class. Her father was in Railways

service (probably an officer).     He occassionally picked up 

conversation and we spent some time together. He was not

only in service but had his own business in export too. He

fared quite well but often worried about his daughter. She

was his only daughter who would have to look after his

business in future. He found his daughter quite immature

and unfit for such responsibility. His wife too was not up to

the mark as far as maturity was concerned.

It was after Durga Puja (Bijoya Doshumi) when she suddenly

appeared after a long absence. She has now turned into a young

and extremely beautiful lady. Her mother accompanied her but

she looked old and worn out! In the meanwhile her father died 

and lot of things have changed. She was no longer an immature

little girl but a fully grown up young lady with 100% maturity.

A lot of questions crossed my mind - especially about her father's

business and her present Guardian. Her mother repeatedly asked

me and my wife  to find a suitable match for her marriage as her 

maternal uncle was not cooperating willfully !

My wife immediately plunged into action and there were some

talks regarding her marriage. Somehow and for some unknown

reason the talks failed after several phone calls .

And slowly and steadily she along with her mother vanished into

the thin air.

May The Almighty give Peace & Happiness to them !
