I was in class eleventh when I parents decided to adopt a child, I was shocked,

'Why? Am I not sufficient'

Maybe my parents think that because my grades are falling I will be a shame for my family, a family in which the everyone is so intelligent, My grandfather was a reputed lawyer and Both my parents are the most trusted doctor in the city, My elder uncle too is a Manager in a reputed firm and his son Mehul, my cousin is studying in IIT.

And there I am, a child who was never good in academics nor in sports, I somehow managed to clear till class tenth but at last, I took arts. I will never be able to stand up with other members of my family, maybe that's the reason.

I started being quiet for days till all the adoption process was completed. I tried telling friends, how I am feeling, but one of the bully of our class made fun of me and family. They started calling me names like "Unsatisfying mistake" or "genetically wrong product". I couldn't take it anymore and decided that I will not go to school anymore. I was in my room crying when my mom entered.

"What happened, sweetie? Why are you crying?" my mom asked worriedly.

I tried wiping my tears, hiding them from her but she is my mom anyway, she knows how to catch me red-handed.

"I know you are crying, it's OK if you don't feel like telling me now," she said embracing me in a tight hug. Her warmth melted me even more and I started crying heavily.

Finally when I stopped my mom gave me a glass of water and went to the kitchen. I was feeling a little light now, but my problem seemed the same as it was. My mom came after 5 minutes with 2 bowls of Maggie in her hands.

"Here," she said smiling and gave me a bowl. She sat next to me and said,

"I have observed that you are being quiet day by day, You can tell me anytime you feel like sharing"

Her words were comforting me somewhat, I took a big bite of my Maggie and spoke,

"What is the need to bring a new child in this home mamma. I know I am not worthy of being called your and dad's son but I promise I will try my best and will study hard for civil services exams. But please mom doesn't bring a new child, everyone will make fun of me, all my friends. I can't face them like this, and will not be able to go to school" I said in a single breath.

As I finished my mom started laughing, I was confused.

"Okey, sorry sorry," she said trying to control her laughter,

"Who told you that we are bringing a child because you are not enough. Actually there was a nurse in our hospital, her husband died in a car accident when she was pregnant and she passed away during delivery. I was the doctor who conducted her delivery. I can't leave that little girl like this, no one is there to take care of her. I brought her in this world, now I will take care of her" My mom said holding my hand.

"And you know sweetie you should be happy that you will be an elder sister, I am sure you will be a great sister. And yes I am really proud of you that you have decided to work hard. Yes, you were an average child, but this was because you lacked a dream and that why me and your dad, we never pressurized you for studies, we knew when you will find your aim, you will work really hard. Now you have a dream of Civil services, I am sure you will be successful now " she said caressing my forehead.

I felt so free and relieved now. I was comfortable with everything now. The next day I told everyone that my mom and dad are not just the best doctors but they are the best humans also.

The day I held the little baby in my hand was the best day for me. She was so soft, she held my top with her little hands, I felt I found the world. She is so lovely and innocent, Yes mom was right, she deserves all the happiness in the world, and we will give her everything. It was the best day of my life, I was the happiest.
