I live in a Hostel. My mom calls me daily and we have this same 2 minute conversation.
Mom: Beta! How are you?
Me: I’m good.
Mom: Everything’s fine there?
Me: Yes.
Mom: You had your Dinner?
Me: Yes, Mom!
Mom: Anything else?
Me: No! Now, I’ve to go. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.
Mom: Good Night!
Me: Good Night!
Short conversation, right? Din’t find anything deep in it, did you? I don’t think most of you would have. But this is what she always meant.
Mom: Beta! How are you?
(I know you must be bored of this question by now, but me and your dad are always worried about you. Just listening to your voice everyday is an assurance for us)
Me: I’m good.
(It’s not easy. Its not exactly like home, but I’m managing somehow. I have my own ups and downs but don’t want to bother you and dad with this stuff)
Mom: Everything’s fine there?
(I know you’ll say yes, but your voice betrays you. I can feel you’re not okay. Something’s bothering you, but I also know that you won’t reveal unless you want to. And If I press it, you might get agitated. We just hope you’ll let us know. We’re always there for you)
Me: Yes, Mom!
(You might have sensed it already, but you know I can’t open up. I hope you don’t force it. I’ll handle it myself)
Mom: You had your Dinner?
(Another stupid question, right? But you don’t realize that even a small stupid detail about you is important for me. I hope you actually ate and won’t just say yes so that I feel good. I know you don’t like your mess food)
Me: Yes, Mom!
(Mess food sucks. I really miss home food. I am tired of eating mess food as well as outside food. Anyways, mess is already closed. I’ll go to canteen today again)
Mom: Anything else?
(Tell me if I can help you out, or atleast make you feel better by listening to you. I’m confident that you’re capable enough to handle any situation, but this is the least I can do for you)
Me: No! Now, I’ve to go. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.
(I wish i could tell you. But I need to take care of this myself.
Mom: Good Night!
(I love you beta)
Me: Good Night!
(Love you too, Mom)
PS: Found it somewhere. But every single word of it I soo true and relatable
