Frozen on the Floor

My name is Amarkant,sharing  an incident of my life experienced in 2011 to 2015.

It was the second week of my First Year of Junior College.The college was new for me and everyone was like strenger.I had taken Hindi language which was tought by Mrs. Chaudhary Mam,She was the most senior Professor in my college.There was only two years were left for her retirement.

It was Mrs Chaudhary Mam’s second lecture,she came to me and said,”Amarkant,Your Parents met me and told about your physical disability.No problem,You don’t take notes in writing.I’ll give you photocopies (Xerox) of written notes.Is it fine?”I nodded my head indicating ‘Yes’.Mam contineoued.”Okay fine,Collect it from me after next two days.

Mrs. Chaudhary Mam was used to be in very simple attire.She was very calculative in spending money.She used to walk till Station which was 15 minutes away.Unlike other professor,She never hired Auto-Rikshaw,Many tines she used to purchase vegetables and fruits from the street vendors.She was only one professor who was travelling by Local trains to reach our College.

After next two days,I went to take notes from Mam.She had already Xeroxed 28 pages of notes.She gave me and said.”20 pages are remaining,Get it from me in the next week”.Mam gave me notes free of cost,but I was not feeling good.I didn’t want notes free of cost.In the next week Mam provided me remaining notes without asking about money.I collected my strength and said,:Mam,I have not paid for notes.Please tell me,How much is it costing?”Mam looked at me as she was hurt by this question.She said.”Why?Have I asked you to pay?” And unwillingly, I had to take notes free of cost.But it  was paining in my heart.In 2013,I finished  with my Junior college studies and took admission in another college for further studies.But whenever I remembered of Mrs. Chaudhary Mam,I used to remember the unpaid charges of photocopies.

In 2015,I got Mrs. Chaudhary Mam’s contact number.I was going call her for the first time after the long period of time of three years.I did phone call which was recived by Mam and conversation took place int following manner,

I: Hello,Mrs.Chaudhary Mam?

Mam: Yes,Who is this?

I: It’s Amarkant,

Mam: Yeah,Remembered,How are you Beta?

I: I’m fine,How are you Mam? (I rembered about Xerox incident)

Mam: I’m also fine,Just backed from my Son’s Home who is staying in New York!!

I: (Shocked) Okay…!!

Mam: I’ll go to daughter’s home in next month.

I: Where does she live?

Mam: Singapore.

I talked for little more.After ending the call,I realized that I had misunderstanding about Mam,I remembered the ‘New York’ and the ‘Singapore’ in the words of Mam.I was silent for the next moment.I felt like,I was frozen on the floor!!
