memories of my child hood ‘’ [24 ]

One fine
morning ;like a sweet dream ,pottanammachen arrived with a smile..to take me backto my mum.He held my face in his palms and looking at my eyes
sympathetically ;told me ‘’get ready …..pack
your things…we will go to your mum ‘’.Aunty helped me to put on my dress and pack
my things.By the time ,Vergheese uncle,one of the friends of my dad came there
in a car and we started to Bharatheepuram ,where my mum was at that time.On the
way
we stepped
down at Dr.Thampy uncle’s clinic to show the festering scabies and swelling at my legs.He examined me and gave medicines for internal and external use.We
reached there by evening.When we reached there mum was waiting for us in the
drawing room.She came forward leaving my younger sister
behind and
held me tightly to her chest.In the warmth of her chest I forgot the pains and enjoyed a feeling of love and
care. Within a few days I became energetic and scabies started healing, On
weekends dad used to come to the estatehouse.Then I heard them discussing
seriously about my education.
There were
no schools in the estate area.
One day my
eldest sister and her husband who was trapped in Singapore because of the 2nd world war,came home from
Nangiar ku langara. She was very fond
of me.So was I .She said
that she would take me with her
and some how would get an admision in the convent nearby.She stayed th us for a few
days and went back to Nangiarkulangara with me.She
secured an admission
for me in
the preparetary class.In those days there were a one year class in between the fourth and fifth standard.From the second
term I started going school. It was run by nuns…they were very strict,but soft
spoken.The premises were quite clean.My class teacher was a nun ,Sister Slowmo… Every one in the class ,got
individual attention. I liked the school and the atmosphere very much.I liked
my sister and her motherly affection towards
me was a great help to concentrate on my lessons and I did
well in my studies.
