Anusha in wonderland Part -16

Anusha liked playing with her younger sister Asmi who was a little baby girl two months old. Asmi was now learning to recognize the people in the house by their faces and voice. She could recognise Anusha and responded to Anusha’s actions. Anusha now understood what Aaba was telling. She knew that Asmi likes toys which make noise. It must be easy for her to remember the toy. She decided to teach Asmi to recognize doll and other toys.

She would hold the toy in front of Asmi and call by its name. “ This is Barbie”. “ This is Baloon” “ This is Micky Mouse”

She felt Asmi was very much interested in seeing new things and was responding through her eyes.

It was the time for Anusha to attend magic math school. Anusha put on her special dress suitable for her principal’s post. She was about to leave the house when she heard a voice calling her.

“Tai, I want to come with you”

She turned back. What she saw was simply unbelievable. Asmi was trying to stand up from her bed and calling her. Anusha ran to her sat down and laid her back in the bed. She said. “You are too young. You should not stand up. I am surprised. How you can talk?”

Asmi said “ I remember all you have taught me. I also saw you walking and dancing. I practice speaking and standing up like you in my dream, but still I am not able to train my mouth and body to do accordingly.”

Anusha said “ Now I understand, why you are moving your hands and feet whole day. But how come you know speaking? ”

Asmi said “ I was able to hear every noise right from my birth, even if I did not understand anything. After birth, when I opened my eyes there was glaring light. I was afraid and started crying. Now I have trained my eyes to see you all and follow your actions. I could remember your voice and face. Slowly now I am able to remember every thing I could see and link it with sound it makes. “

“ But how you know what we talk? We talk in Marathi and also in English? You don’t know these languages.”

Asmi said ” I try to follow the meaning of what you talk by seeing your expressions, actions and voice.”

Asmi further told “ I meet you all in my dream and for me, dream and real life are one and same thing. Only when I am awake, I cannot repeat the sounds to speak out through my mouth and my body is ignorant about how to stand up and walk”

Anusha though in dream was cautious about Asmi. She did not want her to confuse more with math school.

She told Asmi “ You seem to be very clever girl. You will definitely learn speaking and standing up soon. But now I think you should go to sleep. I will also cancel my school visit. We shall both sleep together and play in the daytime. I shall show you my painting of our magic math school."

Asmi agreed and both slept happily with feeling of new friendship and secret understanding.
