"Mummy what should I do, I can't face and bear the guilt. So I am going. You take care of Smit. Educate and make him a big man. If he does mishchief and backfires on you, I will not leave him, but you don't cry. Please Padya don't leave this home and go anywhere else, as it has my memories inside. Tell Smit you are my chotu and my padya. I love you mummy and Smit. Please go and see my exam paper and tell me seeing my photograph. And when you go to school mummy don't forget to tell 'May I come in Madam'. Tell me whatever happens in the school. If anyone shouts or tell you anything tell me. Mummy please dont forget to bring Ganesh Idol at home. Please mummy bring it."
