Yesterday my wife sent me across this snap of Alishba (I edited it for this blog post) and I instantly started questioning her
- She looks a bit lost or in thoughts or very gloomy , is her health alright? isn't she feeling well? had she just cried? etc. etc. And my wife was like yes, she is looking a bit lost today, don't know why, maybe she has just recovered from a cold or it might be the medicine.
We were not sure what it was, but we definitely felt she was not at the peak of her mischievous best. Yes because if she is in a normal mood, she will always be running around, doing mischief, continuously doing something or the other.
So the day passed by yesterday and we really were unable to figure it out.
This morning Alishba wanted to talk to her papa so she picked up the phone and took to her mom and said "Ibba papa se baat karegi" .So for all those of you who do not know, my darling Alishba has now graduated to calling herself "IBBA" from just "BA", I guess the day is not far when she will clearly speak out her name. So that was the demand she made this morning , and I even guess its not long that I will be getting about 20-30 calls from my wife which would be actually dialed by my darling Ibba , so its just a matter of time when she learns to dial a number on her mom's mobile. Anyways I had put my phone on charging, and it was in a silent mode when Ibba's request was initiated. And since my mobile was in silent, I didnt pick up the phone ( Whenever Shazia dials me , she puts it on speaker always because Alishba HAS to talk to me in any circumstances if Shazia has talked to me, it looks like she must be saying to herself "Why should moms have all the talks :P ?"). So since I didnt pick up the phone, Shazia told Ibba that "Papa nahi uthaa rahe phone". As soon as she said this, Ibba ran to the bed , climbed it and hid her head below the pillow and started crying and from underneath the pillow she was shouting "Ibba gussa , Ibba gussa" .
Then what Shazia did was she dialed this time on my mom's mobile and that is how she got me over the phone, so now she took the phone to Ibba who was still crying (a mock one though) and told her "Lijiye Ibba papa se baat kijiye" to which Ibba replied "Ibba papa gussa, baat nahi karegi". I was like what , did she say that she wont talk to me and she is very angry with her papa? Shazia said YES, why didn't you pick up the phone when she first dialed you? . Today Alishba was searching me since she woke up and nearly every hour she wanted to call me up and talk to me.
It is the 3rd week now since Alishba has been to her granny's place and she wasn't searching me as much as she did today. She I guess was experiencing separation anxiety, a delayed one though.
The snap that I shared above is clearly indicating that she was in lost thoughts , maybe searching me :) , or maybe I am making too much out of the snap since I am really really really missing her now. To make the things more difficult for me, Alishba said this on the phone this evening "Mumma, Ibba Appe Ghar Jaayegi, Papa ke paas". 2 weeks look distant to me, very distant. I wish my darling Ibba pass these remaining days without much anxiety.
