The story of boy1

The year 1991

This story starts from the side of the same railway track, Kamal is the main character in this story, Kamal is the same child whom Preeta left on the side of the railway track.

The story begins. In this story there was an old woman named Kamala, she was 70 years old, her husband had already passed away, she lived in a slum, in a broken house, half of which had also collapsed, which she had covered with grass thatch and tarpaulin, during the rainy season water dripped from there. She used to make a living by selling peanuts on the train, she would earn very little by selling peanuts but the amount she earned was enough for her.

One day when she was selling peanuts on the train (then the train was very slow) she heard the cry of a child. She saw a child was crying lying on the side of the railway track. When she saw this, she immediately stopped the train by pulling the chain Due to which the train stops, she immediately gets down and goes to the child, after a while the train moves forward.

She stands there and looks at the child lovingly for a while, then she looks around to see whose child it is but she does not see anyone, she lifts him in her lap and silences her. After a while, she asks people passing by about that child but no one knew anything. Now she starts thinking about what to do with this child, she decides to give him to the orphanage but she could not do so because she knew the pain of being an orphan, she knew this because she was also an orphan herself. He had lost his father in his childhood.

So she decides to keep this child with her and takes him to her broken house. The child was crying, again and again, he was not keeping quiet, Kamala understands that he must be very hungry. So Kamala immediately rushes to the shop to get milk, when she had gone to the shop, she had left the child in the house itself. Hearing the crying of the child, Champa comes there in the meantime, Champa was Kamala's friend, she lived in the house next to Kamala's house. Champa tries to pacify Kamal until kamala arrives.

When Kamala comes back from the shop with milk, she sees Champa in the house who was taking care of the child. Kamala thanks Champa for taking care of the child. Seeing Champa pacifying the child, she immediately goes to pour the milk into the bowl and brings it to the bowl with a spoon, she takes the child in her lap and tries to feed her with a spoon. He was small, he was not able to drink milk on a spoon, but he feeds him a little milk as soon as the child is calm and starts sleeping.

As the child falls asleep, Champa gently asks Kamala from where did you get this child, Kamala tells her in detail about the child. Champa asks Kamala that what name will you give to this child, Kamala thinks a little and then says Kamala's kamal. Then there is a voice for Champa from her house, Champa wakes up and goes to her house. Kamala does not go to work that day, she takes full care of her child. That's how that day passes.

The next day it's time to go to work again but she thinks about what to do with Kamal then she goes towards Champa's house. Right now Champa did not go to work because her work was closed, she reaches Champa's house with the kamal and there she asks Champa that you will keep the kamal with you. Champa says yes and asks her to sleep on the cot. She makes him sleep in the cot and goes home and brings with him the milk and the bottle of milk which he had bought yesterday. Kamala takes a look at Kamal and leaves her at Champa's house. She takes a bag of peanuts from her house and goes to the train to sell it, but her focus is on kamal. she does not work all day but comes back by noon. 1 week passes like a day before.

But now Champa's work was also going to start from the next day. So from the next day, Kamala takes Kamal along with her and goes to the train to sell groundnuts. She ties him with a cloth by putting it on her chest and does her work, she now always starts doing the same way she used to leave him there, the day Champa was off.

One day, while Kamala was doing the calculations of the month sitting at night, she found that since Kamal has come into her life, she has started earning more, he has proved to be auspicious for her.

One day Kamala forgets to bring the ticket with her and on the same day, she is caught while checking the ticket, on train that day she has to give all her earnings to the ticket checker because of which he did not even have any money that day. She comes home and borrows some money from Champa and brings milk for Kamal. She goes to bed hungry that day.

Similarly, 3 years pass, sometimes she had food and sometimes not, but Kamala used to do something or the other to get food for her kamal because she loved her child very much and she could not see him hungry. She loved him so much that she would do anything for him.

Like I told that now Kamal was 3 years old when he saw the children going to school, he would talk about going to school. He tells his mother that he also wants to go to school.

Whenever he went to sell peanuts with Kamala, he would see a school coming on his way and he thinks that he too would study in this school. But Kamala knew that she would never be able to teach him there because her income was only enough for living life.

Whenever Kamal would say that when he will go to school, Kamala would tell him that you are 3 years old now, when you will be 5 years old, then you will go to school. Kamal kept asking this question often and every time Kamala would give the same answer. Saying this she would take him every day to sell peanuts with her .
