TEASER
"Maine keh diya toh keh diya Kiran. Ma kabhi bhi nahi chahegi ki Maan ki bahu doctor ho. Wo humesha se yeh maanti hai ki bahu se ghar chalta hai, bacho ko acchi parvarish milti hai. Agar bahu apni padhai aur career mein busy ho jaati hai toh poore parvivar pe asar padta hai iss baat ka. Hum dono ke liye Ma ne ye socha tha aur baat sahi bhi hai. Main bhi Ma ki baat se sehmat hu. Tum ghar pe thi toh Maan kitni acche se padhe aur doctor banne", Maan's father said to his mother.
"Par .." Kiran barely spoke when her husband cut her off.
"Bas. Iske aage koi baat nahi hogi. Tum Maan ko samjha dena. Jawan hai, doctor hai; aissi lakh ladkiyon ki line laga duga apne bete ke liye".
"Maan usse pyar karta hai", Kiran put in, " .. main usse khush dekhna chahti hu. Kya aap kuch bhi nahi kar sakte? Apne liye kabhi nahi maangti par apne bete ko main dukhi nahi dekh sakti".
Raj was quiet as he recognized that he had not been able to give Kiran a lot of time in their life together.
"Ek choice hai. Agar ladki apni padhai chod de aur doctor ban ne ke sapne ko bhool jaaye, toh main Ma ko samjha sakta hu. Ma pilgrimage se wapis aa jaaye tab baat karte hai", Raj spoke.
Hazel eyes teared as she heard their words by accident.
There were some dreams she had, some promises she had made.
She was not about to let that go.
She made up her mind to speak with Maan on the way back.
A/N: Something about the past opening up. There will be more of past and present. How they met etcetra but for now... miss me.
Yes, Daadima is a bit of a khadoos in this one😆
I will be back in 10 days. I hope I get a chance to write something for you by then.
Thanks for the comments and encouragement to keep writing 😃
