Finally the day had came... deepti n me were pretty nervous... we never been in to that situation, atleast one will be there... it was another cold and cloudy day... i did complete my offshore calls with very short span of time... deepti is done with her kitchen works.... with daily struggles, the mornin drink, bathing and so called breakfast also over.... it was 8.40AM... we decided to leave the house.... we started walking slowly... jus kept on sayin only positive words and sentences.... slightly we made the situation normal and bit happy for us......
we reached the destination at 8.55AM... i was takin the pictures of that location for memory sake... we went in and deepti was tellin n typin the password and unlocked the door... there were lotz of rooms and in each room there were many kids.... i was slowly loosin my confidence level and deepti was becomin more dull.... being a husband i was givin the confidence from mouth.... a lady came and deepti said hai to her and introduced me... i was introducin me and she was in happy mood.... we kept the bags and jacket in one hanger... it was written as PRAAPTI PRASANNA.... i was thinkin that it should be PRAAPTI PRASANNADEEPTI... while thinkin, another lady came and introduced herself.... she took us to one room where all the kids were standing in a circle..... still i was not very sure how it will be.... but i have too... i looked deepti... she was in the verge of cryin....
IT WAS FIRST DAY FOR PRAAPTI at SCHOOL.... after 2 months of loooong discussions we decided to put her in school. though we thought it will be good for praapti as she will get lotz of friends... we didnt think from our perspective... we never let her alone... always deepti will be there for her... now we are in to a situation where praapti will be out of the house, without both of us for 3 hours, thatz 180 minutes.... oooppsssiiii... how shez goin to manage without us.. more than that how me n deepti goin to manage it....
at school... we decided to leave praapti in that room... till that moment she was happy in seein everything.... but that moment she also felt that something goin wrong over there.... she started lookin at us... one of the incharge took her from us and requested her to stand in the circle made by other kids... she was confused... lookin at us and rest of the kids.. we both left the room... deepti went to meet the incharge of the school... i was standin at a distnace, from where praapti cannot see but i can see her... she was still confused and searchin us around the places,poor baby dont know what to do with other kids.... one of the inchage took her in her laps and started singin songs with the kids... now i am not able see praapti's face... dont know what to do... suddenly tears started.... yeahhh... i m an emotional guy... can pretend that i dont cry (by hidin the tears)... but that day i was not able to control tears...
deepti was busy in talkin with the incharge of school and explainin her what are the words that praapti speaks, she wrote it in paper and gave it to them... wowww... what a thinking... shez damn good in all these stuff... we both decided to leave the school... i was lookin at the class room, praapti was still in the laps of the incharge.... slowly walkin towards the house... deepti was tellin me that she gave the mobile number to them so that they will call us incase of too much crying... i was tellin her that the mobile is at house, she told me to walk fast... we reached hosue and saw the mobile.... there were no missed calls.... we both didnt talk anything... house was very calm... no sound... the hall was full of toys.... we jumped n walked between the toys.... deepti brought breakfast and tea for both of us... we ate it without talkin... deepti asked whether she can call the school and ask them how praapti is doin.. i told her not to do so... we finished our breakfast... dont know what to do... it was just 9.30AM... we need to wait another 2hours and 30mins to meet praapti....
i started surfin the net to read papers... but not able to concentrate... started to think about all these days that i spent with praapti... the thursday when i saw her for the first time.... the second night of praapti at hospital where i was there to wake the nurse to help deepti for feedin...the first 100th day of praapti.... the first time she was tryin to turn upside down.... the first air travel for her... first trekin at yelagiri with her... the first time she was tryin to walk... the first unreasonalble cryin in the evenin times... oooopppssiii the time went very fast.... shez now 2 yrs 9 months.... came to present world... deepti started readin the book... she called her mom to get conoled, but her mom was busy with work... so she tried to console her by sayin somethin.... i was also respondin without any idea what i was talkin... complete mind was at school... thinkin what she will be doin....
it was just 10.15AM... i also started readin the book... got a call from offshore on a issue (one thing that will never stop....:-() now deepti again tried callin her mother... her mother became free now... hmmmm now deepti will be free from all worries for next 20mins to 30mins... i started readin the book... i was readin it like my semester exam specific book... nothin was gettin in to mind... started lookin outside thro' window.... nothin much interestin.... time was 11AM... deepti asked me to prepare tea... meanwhile she called my parents to tell about the first day at school... i also spoke to them.... asusual they were tellin its all nothin... my mother started tellin about her experience with us.... we started havin tea.... deepti asked me whether did we take wrong decision by sendin her school now itself... but i was sayin that at anypoint she needs to go school... let it be now...
meanwhile i got a call from offshore... some meetin need to happen... they want me to join the bridge.... it was 11.30AM....we both decided to leave house at 11.40AM.... i joined the meetin over phone.... durin the discussion we both left the house... it was pretty cold outside.... the discussion went in depth.... we reached the school... i asked deepti to get in to school and i stayed outside due to the call.... bein in the call, was lookin in to school... except praapti everyone else were comin... finally praapti came with deepti... she was comin with a big smile (her special) and runnin towards me.... i was still in the call.... i hold her hands and started walkin slowly... deepti was askin/tellin somethin to praapti and she was respondin to it... finally the call got over.... immediately i lifted praapti and asked how was the school... she was tellin "its good appakutty"... deepti was tellin that praapti didnt cry as per the incharge... but by seein her eyes it seems she would have cried.... but still she was happy at school and njoyed bein there....
our biggest worry was gone, first 180 minutes without praapti (especially for deepti) went on with lotz of struggles for both of us, soon deepti will used to be.... our babies are good at managing the situation... if you tell them how to. On the way to house, as told by deepti's mom we got chocklate for praapti... she was more happy now... we reached home... the first thing i was tellin deepti was... SHEZ NOT LIKE HER FATHER, WHO USED TO CRY A LOT TO GO TO SCHOOL.... immediately after that i sent SMS to all my brothers n close relatives....
Though on the forthcomin days... praapti cries a little at school i gained lotz of confidence on her and i am sure that she will be alright in school in upcomin days... was tellin same to deepti n consolin her (one good thing that i do with everone in the world) :-)
