As i sat in the tube, muddled in thoughts after a recent conversation from home, I saw a mother and child sitting across me.The child seemed to be having a cold and was leaning his head on his mother who seemed emotionless and scolding the child and telling him to wipe his nose clean. The train licked its icy tracks to reach the next station i saw the mother kissing the boy's cheeks and the boy holding on to her. As the doors opened with the speed to match the London crowd , the boy got up and as he was near the door , he cast a glance at his mother again who was still emotionless and said bye. Being in London no one can miss " Please mind the gap " whenever the tube doors close, i saw the mother shift from her seat into the seat where the child was sitting before and look out through the frost covered windows of the tube into the crowd for her son, for her last look at her son for the day , a protective glance to see if he got past the crowd to be on his way. As the train departed I noticed the mother clench onto her bag and she looked past me into the window behind me , I knew that pain on her face...it was a very similar pain..the pain of missing someone you love...and there it was ..the most beautiful love I had ever seen.
I miss my girl ,pradz as I call her a lot today , Love you girl , you are a star :D
