Vanita was looking beautiful, her pregnancy glow. The environment in Iyer house was exuberant. Everyone had arrived to bless the Vandu n her baby.
Even her mother in law was here, with her cunning sly smile, tauntin Mr n Mrs Iyer, every now and then. Mrs Iyer never liked her behavior but being Vandita MIL, there is very little she could do or say.
Finally, the muhurat arrived and Ishita took Vandita to sit by the small dias. The ritual begin, the first person to do the pooja was the Mother. MRs Iyer. Next was the MIL...after completing the pooja, Bala;s mom quickly moved to stand with Shagun, after all, evil likes to hang out together, isnt it ?
Next Mrs. Iyer called IShita to do the pooja, as soon as she moved near Vandu. MIL couldn't stop herself from lashing out to her.
MIL : ruko
Everyone was shocked. Raman knew this was coming. Mrs Iyer was also scared about what MIL would say, in a way, she knew, but was praying hard to god, to avoid this situation. But alas, who has ever curbed the devil's tongue.
MIL : MRs Iyer, yeh godh bharai ki rasam hai, aap isme ek baanjh ke haato vandita ke pooja nahi karwa sakti.
Mrs. Iyer : aaiyyo aap aisa kyu bol rahi hai.
MIL : aur nahi toh kya, Ishita baanjh hai, iski haato yeh pooja nahi ho sakti.
Listening to this Ishita had tears in her eyes. ITs true that biologically its not possible for her to conceive but why is that such a big crime. That she isnt even allowed to bless her loved ones.
Bala : Amma, what are you saying ?
MIL : tum chup raho Bala, tumhe beech me bolne ki koi jarurat nahi...
Little Ruhi who was happy till, felt so sad for her Ishima. She moved near MIL, and tugges at her saree.
Ruhi : Aunty, aap aisa kyu bol rahi hai. MAine Dadi se pucha tha ki baanjh kya hota hai, Dadi ne kaha jisko bachche nahi hote usse log baanjh kehte hai. PAr Ishima ke paas toh mai hu, phir woh baanjh kaise huye...hai na Dadi.
Toshi : Puttar, tu jaake dekh Sharu kaha hai...jaa
Little Ruhi, didnt know why Dadi dint answer her, but thought will ask her later, and went off to search for Shravu
Toshi : Oye, fitte muuh...yaha bachche bhi samajhte hai, ki sahi kya hai aur galat kya hai, par kuch log na, kabhi nahi sudherenge. koi gal nahi, Ishita puttar, tu bura na maan, pooja khatam kar. Tu kitni achchii maa hai, yeh aise gairon ko bataane ki jarurat nahi.
MIL: excuse me, aap mujhe aira gaira keh rahi hai ?
Toshi : Dekh, tu ab mera mooh mat khulwa...jab dekho tab function me rode daalne aa jaati hai. Tujhe toh sharam aani chahiye, ek aurat hote huye doosri aurat ko aise bhala bura kehte huye. Par hun kya kar sakte hai, tere akal toh ghaas khane gaye hai, tabhi toh Ishita jaisi ladki toh tune haat se jaane diya...
MIL : dekho, yeh mera personal matter hai, tum isme naa bolo toh achchaa rahega.
Toshi : oye, tere personal matter hai toh ki, taane toh tune mere bahu ko sunayee naa...insult toh tune mere bahu ki ki...par jaande, tujhse kya mai gila karu, te tu toh khud kumnaseeb nikali...tabhi toh Ishita teri nahi meri bahu bani...toh mujhe toh tujhe thanku kehna chahiye...😃 tujhe do akal ki baate sunao...agli baari na, insaan ki sirat dekhna seekh, jyada khush rahegi...
MIL's face was worth watching, she looked as if she has swallowed a whole karela...but she wasn;t gonna let it go...
MIL : Bala, agar Ishita yeh pooja karegi toh mai isme shaamil nahi houngi.
Bala : par Amma...
Vandita : Bala, Ishita meri behen hai, agar woh mere bachche ko bless nahi karegi toh mai is pooja me nahi baithungi.
MIL : Vandita, yeh tum kya keh rahi hai.
Vandu : Sorry Amma, par mujhe mere function me mere behen ka insult nahi karwana hai, aapse request hai ki aap hasi khushi sab me shaamil ho...nahi toh...aapki marzi
This was enough insult for MIL. She turned to leave the venue, hoping that someone will request her to stay, atleast Mr n Ms Iyer.
Ishita : Aunty, please yeh function Vandu Akka ke liye important hai, please aap aise mat jayiye.
MIL : tum chupp raho, yeh sab tumhaari wajah se hua hai.
This angered Raman, he was about to say something, but then he heard Ishita and was mighty impressed.
Ishita : Nahi Auntyji, yeh meri nahi aapki wajah se hua hai. JAb aap janti hai ki Ruhi meri beti hai toh yeh baanjh hone ki baat baar baar nikalne ka kya matlab hai... Agar aap logon se izzat chahti hai toh logon ki izzat karna sikhye...aur ek baat, Ruhi meri beti hai, aur mai Ruhi ki maa...aage se yeh baat aap yaad rakhe toh behtar hoga
