222. A verdade



Mãe pensa que na escola sempre estudamos.
Mas não é verdade.
Na escola trabalhamos muito e estudamos pouco.
Todos os dias varremos o quintal, varremos sala de aula, limpamos casa de banho, apanhamos lixo e regamos as plantas.
O trabalho continua, um depois do outro.
Desde a semana passada, a professora de português deu-me uma nova responsabilidade. Cuidar de bebé dela.
Antes de ir para escola, em casa, ajudo a minha mãe. Então, depois ando por uma hora para a escola.
Estou muito cansada.
Quero estudar, mas não quero ir para escola.
Como posso dizer a verdade para minha mãe?

221. Letter

This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 52; the fifty-second edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. In association with Metro Diaries by "Namrata". To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton.


After the meeting; women disappeared fast. Except one.  
 “Come to my home,” the middle aged Rakhama mavashi ordered.

I knew so less about her, that I decided to take the opportunity. 

After a cup of tea, she asked, “Can you write a letter for me?”
I was glad to help her. 

She brought a post-card.
She told me what to write. I wrote.
It was clear that she was writing to her husband.
In those ten minutes, I understood the story of her life.

“Address?”  I asked.
“I do not know”, she said. 

“No one knows”, added her little daughter.
