Answer:
Title: "Rishi, Are You Really Okay?"
Rishi had always hated his mother. He couldn't stand the way she looked, with only one eye. He was constantly embarrassed by her and wished she would just disappear. So when he turned 18, he left his mother behind and moved to the city to start a new life for himself.
As the years passed, Rishi forgot all about his one-eyed mother. He was busy building a career and making new friends. That is, until he received a letter inviting him to his school's alumni reunion.
Excited to see his old classmates again, Rishi made the trip back to his hometown. After the reunion was over, he decided to visit his old house. As he walked up to the front door, he saw his mother lying on the cold ground with a letter clutched in her hand.
Rishi was shocked and saddened to see his mother in such a state. As he read the letter, he learned the truth about his mother's sacrifice. When he was a child, he had been in a terrible accident that left him with only one eye. His mother, not wanting her son to suffer any more, had donated one of her eyes to him.
Tears streamed down Rishi's face as he realized the depth of his mother's love. He had been wrong to hate her all these years. From that moment on, Rishi made it his mission to make up for lost time and show his mother just how much he appreciated her.
Explanation:
Answer:
My mom only had one eye. I hated her… She was such an embarrassment. She cooked for students and teachers to support the family.
There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to me. I was so embarrassed.
How could she do this to me? I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school one of my classmates said, “EEEE, your mom only has one eye!”
I wanted to bury myself. I also wanted my mom to just disappear. I confronted her that day and said, “If you’re only gonna make me a laughing stock, why don’t you just die?”
My mom did not respond… I didn’t even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I was full of anger. I was oblivious to her feelings.
I wanted out of that house, and have nothing to do with her. So I studied real hard, got a chance to go abroad to study.
Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. I had kids of my own. I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts. Then one day, my Mother came to visit me. She hadn’t seen me in years and she didn’t even meet her grandchildren.
When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I yelled at her for coming over uninvited. I screamed at her, “How dare you come to my house and scare my children! GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!”
And to this, my mother quietly answered, “Oh, I’m so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address.” – and she disappeared out of sight.
One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity.
My neighbors said that she died. I did not shed a single tear. They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have.
“My dearest son,
I think of you all the time. I’m sorry that I came to your house and scared your children.
I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you. I’m sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you were growing up.
You see……..when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn’t stand watching you having to grow up with one eye. So I gave you mine.
I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye.
With all my love to you,
Your mother.”
