In particular, his name was Goma. Mother Bhagwati Bhattarai, who grew up hearing healthy, was deeply touched by Goma's sufferings. So she changed her name to keep her daughter away from suffering. The daughter was upset with Goma. For some reason, the mother did not like this name either. She had the nature of being able to understand something deeply, feel the pain of others, and prefer to read. She searched for a name that fit her personality. She settled on a name. From that day, the daughter became Vidya from Ranju. From that time on, the mother's mind was that, "The daughter earns a lot of knowledge and name."

After resigning as Education Minister, MP Vidya Bhattarai is sometimes seen riding a tempo and sometimes walking. Even when she was in the government, she presented herself honestly and was never attracted by big benefits. Whether in or out of power, Vidya has always imbibed three things – creativity, positivity and endurance. These were the divine knowledge given by the mother to her daughter even before she breathed her last. For which learning is priceless for life. 

Five years ago, at the age of 87, my mother changed her clothes. The feeling of not having a mother is overwhelming. But mother's memories, love and words continue to give the meaning of being. Sometimes Vidya remembers her mother's stories. Which the mother never told. The stories left untold were more painful than the ones told. The mother did not want to share the pain with her daughter. Vidya, who learned the untold story of her mother from witnesses, still remembers those events. Which leads him to blurry visions of years past.

Bhagwati was only 9 years old when she got married. Her husband Hemraj Bhattarai was 20 years older than her. He had married two wives before Bhagwati. She was only 2 years older than her husband's eldest son. After a long break in married life, Bhagwati sighed and said, "My heart has never been happy." Instead, I would have been taken away and thrown away.' Vidya, while understanding, once asked Ba, 'Why did you marry my mother at such a young age?' Let me tell my husband, he is very old. Inside, its effect remained on Bhagwati throughout her life. 

Even after giving birth to a fifth child, they did not get life. The first child died in three months. With the second birth. 3rd child in 4 years. Vidya tries to estimate how many times a mother's heart must have been broken when she did not survive even the fourth and fifth. A daughter was born in 2030, 12 years after the death of the fifth child. But before her mother's face could light up, she got pneumonia. She was hospitalized for a month. Every day, every night was spent in waiting and praying for Bhagavati. 

Daughter overcomes pneumonia. After 2 years of overcoming pneumonia, she fell from four floors. Fortunately, the life was saved, the leg was broken. Protecting her from various incidents, Bhagwati raised her daughter. When Vidya understood, her mother used to say, 'You've barely survived.'

Vidya is 40 years younger than her mother, 60 years younger than her father. While growing up, she used to see that her friend's parents were young. His parents were slowly getting old. Remembering this seemed to make him sick. The pain of losing a child was deep inside the mother. The family was big, but Jasti was the only one. She used to say to her daughter from time to time, 'Who else is there besides you and me?' Vidya thought, 'Are there any?' It will be yours only if you have a good relationship.' 

Mother was the one who made trouble. He spoke indigestible words. Mother was patient. At the age of 15, Vidya could not bear her mother being so oppressive. But the mother used to remind her daughter, "We should not answer with words, but with behavior." That's why you have to do something.' This mother's nature also moved to Vidya. "As my mother used to say, I used to answer people not with my mouth, but with my behavior," says Vidya. Bhagwati never made her daughter do hard work. She was in favor of letting her daughter understand by herself, not by asking. Vidya gradually understood the meaning of her mother.

Vidya used to make her mother dance and sing. The brothers used to go to Mitra reading room near Chabhil house to read books. My mother used to send me to the library to study. She used to take part in the hajirizwaf competition there. Mother used to remind me about one thing, 'Don't play in a way that affects your legs. Do whatever else you have to do.' A deep hunger for study in learning arose from Mitra Reading Hall. From there, political consciousness was planted in him. She studied Chinese literature, Russian literature, feminist books, biographies of Marx and Engels and Marxist theory from Mitra reading room. Along with the progressive book, his political career also started with Akhil's journey. Parents were happy that their daughter was reading. But he was not satisfied with being connected to politics. She used to trick her parents in political events saying that she was going to study.

Vidya used to teach tuition even when she was studying in class 10th. Not only that, she also used to knit hats and mufflers. And she was also involved in politics. Little by little, the parents started to realize, 'Everything is gone. Vidya graduated in 21 years. Vidya did her Masters in Sociology and MPhil in Anthropology. Later, she also became a deputy professor of sociology at Trivim. 

He met Rabindra Adhikari during his political journey while joining the UML. Their meeting turned into love. That love took the form of marriage. Mother used to say, 'Do not marry outside Kathmandu.' The mother was afraid that her daughter would be distant from her. But his marriage took place outside Kathmandu. Vidya saw the pain reflected in her mother's eyes when she had to say goodbye to her daughter on her wedding day. Mother had a hard time at the wedding. I couldn't see my mother crying,' Vidya remembers that moment.

Vidya's eldest son Viraj was born after the marriage. She stayed in Kathmandu for 14 months after her son was born. The mother was very happy to nurse her grandson. Then they returned to Pokhara. Mother's heart was filled. During the festival, I used to spend time with my family. I could not go to Kathmandu. It is sad that even one of the children the mother has is not with her during the festival,' recalls Vidya.

Vidyaka Ba passed away in 062 years. There was no one with him when he passed away. Bhagwati used to ask, 'Even if I die, I won't have a daughter.' Vidya also didn't want to be away from her mother. After 2 years of going to Pokhara, she came back to Kathmandu. "I never told my mother. But I came for my mother," Vidya says. In the year 075, Vidya's life was hit by a big thunderbolt. Her husband Ravindra, who was the then Minister of Tourism and Culture, died in a helicopter accident. That incident traumatized Vidya. 

Even when Vidya was going through the hardest and darkest moments of her life, Vidya had her mother's side. That incident kept stinging the mother with the fear of what would happen. But the mother did not show tears in front of her daughter. Instead she said, 'You have seen my life too. You have to be taken care of, daughter.' After that incident, Vidya's mother's pain started to grow. She started giving more time to her mother. A by-election was held in the area won by Rabindra. Vidya rose in the election. When she consulted her mother, she said, "You will wake up only if you are happy." When she won the election, her mother was in the ICU. Vidya could not say that happiness immediately. After recovering, she got to know the result. Bhagwati happily said, 'People love you a lot.'

Bhagwati felt lonely for a long time in her life. As the daughter grew up, she learned to be happy that she had someone. After getting a grandson with Vidya's marriage, she felt that she had a family too. "Now I also have a family, the happiness was visible on my mother's face at that time," narrates Vidya. Bhagwati had a deep affection for her two grandsons. Little grandson Swaraj used to say, 'Mother, if I buy a car, I will give you a ride first.' Bhagwati would say with a sad face, 'I may not live till you grow up.' She would cook and wait without eating. Vidya would have come outside after eating something. Mother used to scold me when she saw that she was starving. Mother used to say lovingly, 'Waiting for you to come.' Now when the sons are away, Vidya is worried whether they have eaten or not. "To understand a mother deeply, one has to become a mother," says Vidya.

Vidya felt that her mother should be present in every success. But old age was making the mother sick more and more. After covid, mother fell ill. It's like I don't live anymore. You will understand yourself, do well,' the words of my mother at the last moment of her life are still echoing in my ears. Before she breathed her last, mother held Vidya's hand from the bed. She tried to say something, but she couldn't. She calmed down while doing the ball. Vidya called, mother did not speak. She never spoke after that. After losing her mother, Vidya couldn't take care of herself for a long time. She felt alone. She thought, 'Everything is over for me.' She remembered her sons who were growing up slowly. She made a way to explain the mind. When she was little, Vidya used to go to her uncle's house in Thamel with her mother. Nyana used to walk from Chabahil through Lanchaur, Durbar area and reach Thamel holding her mother's hand. Even now, when she reaches those places, she remembers a 10-year-old little girl and a mother. And, she is distressed, 'Now even those little hands are missing.'
