THE BABY WAS THROWN WITH THE BATH WATER

Mother: A divine gift

A newborn was rejected and dumped by his own “mother” immediately after birth as guided by a “faith healer” having had opined her to terminate the foetus inside the womb.
The baby being cursed might have brought misfortune for her.

The inlaws and the husband protested and she delivered the baby boy in contempt.
But refusing to nurse him in protest.

The tender baby was deprived the right to suckle and distanced from the very feel of his own mother.
The mother left the baby with her in-laws and the helpless hubby and departured for her paternal home for years ahead.

The baby sans nursing was raised by his father despite all odds.
He grew on baby foods then available in the market.

Suddenly father got transferred to the distant Ladakh heading an Institution there.
The baby boy a toddler accompanied him on the high altitude place.
Somehow the baby survived the scare.

Years passed on and the boy grew up and went to school while there was sudden thaw in the estranged relations between the husband and wife.

Father resettled with his wife but the boy struggled to mingle with the other elder siblings…. a sister many years older and and a senior brother.

Alas like the mother the other two siblings rejected the boy now in the school studying alongside his siblings yet kept apart in contempt.

Strangely at home in seclusion the little boy was regularly and ruthlessly beaten and traumatized by his own mother on every pretext and without provocation only hellbent to end his existence.

Somehow the boy grew up….as parents separated….this time for ever.

But the scars both bodily and psychological remained for posterity.

The boy lived with a broken nose, teared down ear and randomly visible stitches and scars.

With the numerous bodily scars consequent to the beatings of childhood the boy reached manhood.
He grew up alongside father more as a friend and a fellow to combined injustices.
Live moved for better and years passed.
Day of judgment arguably came nearer.

Tail piece:-

(BEWARE)
Don’t commit this sin of unjustly dealing with your own children.

The Prophet of Islam (SAW) himself warns of the Allah’s wrath if you as a parent are biased and unjust towards your own child.
(Sahi Bukhari & Sahi Muslim)

Yet in the same vein how lucky the child would be who though in manhood vividly recalls the atrocities of his “mother” as with his own growth grew his bodily scars.

THY NAME IS MOTHER
AND YOU ARE TO BE AN EPITOME OF LOVE
