Her father who was her angel from childhood whom she shared every little secret with didn't consider telling her this... how could they do this to her...
She didn't even know what she was crying for... it was more than a hour she heard her mIL call her washing her face she made herself presentable n walked downstairs
Dadi quickly came to my side n took me to one of the rooms
After making me sit she handed me a glass of water slowly patting my head
Missing them??
Her head shot up at the question with the silent tears that escaped!!
We all have to pass through this phase beta me ur MIL every one... one day u will see when u will be called by ur mother for some thing... u will not even have it in u step out of this house... By then this will be ur home where you will find peace n solace...
U know what happened when I came here for the first time. ...
Suddenly the door slammed open n her MIL walked in looking all tensed
Maa what happened is everything alright geet is ur hand still burning here let me see...
Maa I think we should apply ice hai na... u don't worry geet see it I'll apply ice it will be alright and not even burn...
Shanti calm down its nothing see she is missing her parents thats it u sit down or else ur knee pain will start again...
Maa!! She is my dIL n u aren't even letting me love her!!
Shanti stop being so dramatic. .. acha geet beta where were we... You know when I was at ur age
And few more ladies joined n this discussion continued all the while in the kitchen n while having lunch too...
By evening most of the relatives left only the close ones were left who were leaving next day morning...
In all this she did get distracted n was occupied my some work or other... she learned that usually her Maan's father comes home for lunch or he would send someone to get his lunch picked from home n maan never has lunch from home... It would always be from the farmers families who work in their fields...
Once he took lunch with him n there was a huge drama created at our house demanding an explanation if they did something wrong y did we send him lunch... true there still existed people were so pure at heart!
By evening her MIL was her maa n FIL was papa accepting them was so easy it was just few words of love n respect they were ur family now!!
As they say mother in laws are not evil or strict they are just possessive for their sons... as they say son is always closer to mother...
It was already evening n maa asked her to freshn up n get ready she didn't know if they were going out some ware or something... n she didn't want sound rude to them by asking unnecessary questions. ..
Walking back to the room brought back the harsh realities back to her... she didn't even know what to do now as there is no way out of this situation... she was married was her present the sooner she accepts it the better it would be!!
Quickly washing her face she got ready n walked down to ask if her sari was ok or she needed to change...
Geet switch off the gass beta...
Ji maa..
Geet make sure u on the lights of the backyard too nandu may come a bit late today
Ji dadi!!
This was the scene he was greeted with his wife running aroud the house from one corner to other lifting her sari a bit adjusting her pallu at her waist all fresh n beautiful while he returned in the evening... he was late as usual but when he was in the field he usually forgets himself!!
Then the motor also was on repair so he had to engage more labour to water their field dropping Ajit at his home n having snacks by Bhabhi he was he was a bit too much late...
Maa saw him at the door and called to get in n freshn up so that they can have their dinner together!!
Still in shock he walked towards his room when he heard his maa send geet to the room if he needed something!
With the melody of her payal he knew she was about enter... he caught her hand n pulled her into his arms shutting the door behind!
Her smiling face... fresh n glowing looks or her accepting his family he didn't know what was the reason he for once wanted to forget everything n feel her in his arms...
His wife whose every relation would start from him... who would walk with him...who would wait for him... fight with him... care for him... want him and love him!!
His hold on her tightened with every passing second...
What ever the issues may be he will do his best to resolve them after all if she could accept his family y can't he bend a little maybe he was wrong too...
Parting a little he gave a tight kiss on her cheek n walked to the washroom leaving her baffled!!
To Be Continued. ..
