Mom had me completely flummoxed with her ingenious act today and I would remember this for long long time to come. Early this week my parents had called me up and asked me to come to Guntur for weekend for my first debut (the details of which will come soon). Keeping mote's points in view I agreed as food is a major weakness for me. Since mom is staying at Guntur while dad is in Eluru it was decided that both mom and I are going to come to Eluru. Mom, a highly devoted worker, was very much reluctant to take leave on Saturday and top of that Saturday being only half a day, there was no point in taking a holiday.
She told me that she would be coming by Saturday evening. On Friday with all the packing done, I first phoned dad to find out if mom had taken the laptop away to Guntur as I was planning to do some work on it. He said no and that the laptop is still there. I then asked him about what he had for dinner and which movie was coming on t.v. It seems that he had a nice pizza with veg puff for accompaniments and he also told me that he was watching 'True Lies' and then we cut the call.
After 15 minutes I got a call from my mom. As I was really busy packing my stuff I didn't have time to pick up the call and only phoned her after reaching to the pick-up point near Keshav Reddy sweets. I told her about the huge baggage of clothes that I was bringing and also told her that as planned we would be picking her up on her journey mid way back to Eluru at Vijayawada to have a nice wholesome lunch. I again talked to her for 10 more minutes asking her about the dinner plans and what she was doing. She also told me that she was watching 'True Lies'. I immediately quipped "Arre nanna kuda ade chustunnadanta. Manchi movie maa" and I cut the call and told her that I would give a message once the bus starts.
Time moved on, I went from Madhapur to Nampally, pickup point where there is another 1 hour waiting time. During this time nanna called and asked me about where I was and I told him it doesn't look like bus is gonna come anytime soon. He in his usual tones blasted all the private road transport folks for harrassing people and then told me to give him a call once he reaches and he would tell the directions to take by auto. Got in the bus, enjoyed the movie, came to Eluru, got down, came home and cow-a-bunga! - Mom was already Home! Awesome mom! I gave her a tight hug and told her this was one of the best moments I would cherish. Even though it wouldn't have mattered waiting till 5 but I always wished she to be there to spend my 2 whole days. THE best surprise indeed. Now I know the WHOLE meaning of 'True Lies'.
Big cheers to my mom and dad for playing his role well!
