The most beautiful n pure relationship would be one shares with their mother... she may fight... yell, get annoying at times... even act stubborn but for her u here her child however old u may be have kids or even grand kids... she would still be worrying about her childs food.. Safety.. Comfort... n most importantly his smile
Papa I haven't thought of it till now... n wo umm
She couldn't come up with anything now with so many things running in her mind education was suddenly the last thing she would think of...
Beta now there is a lot of time for the results n less time for the entrance exams... I'm not forcing you into anything but if I had a daughter I would have never compromised with her education...
Papa..
Ji beta... remember once u were helping me with my files last month... I was thinking of it since then... but then you had this new daughter in-law n new family thing on you... so I didn't tell you... now that u have adjusted n comfortable with ur new life... I think it's the right time
Papa was so calm all the while explaining his views with a smile of assurance... for a moment she felt she was talking to her dad.. When he patted her head with affection... like the earlier argument with maa never happened...
Ok now u go I think it's time ur husband returns... he ended with a smile making her blush red
Papa...
Hmm...
Thank you
She walked away seeing him immersed in some documents n papers... n she knew her papa wala time was over.. Shaking her head she walked out with a small smile feeling light all of a sudden... she walked up to her room to have a quick shower...
In the meanwhile maan walked returned home all tired n stressed... n looking at him maa quickly prepared his coffee n took it to his room... he was quite surprised to find his maa coz in the past few days of his marriage it was always Geet who got his coffee...
Maa why did you have to take so much stress... u should have sent it with geet!
Even though that was a normal statement his words did have a emotional effect on his mother...
Geet!
Haan maa... where is she I didn't see her... n did meera finish her packing... we'll leave in a while or it would get late for me to return back...
Purposely skipping the Geet part... She asked him to freshen up n come down... she would go n check on meera... he already looked tired she didn't want him to burden up with the new issues of the house too... maybe she would be able to find a solution for all this herself... how careless could Geet get... when her husband was back from work can't she even help him with basic stuff... atleast look if he needs something... taking a deep breath she went to meet meera before she leaves
Badi maa... I don't want to go... please... meera held on to her pallu while she packed her leftover stuff
Beta try n understand they must be worried about you hai na...
But maa trying to make a cutest face possible
Don't worry I'll talk to Didi n she would understand closing the bag she went ahead to check if anything was leftout
Meera... Maa...
Come now maan is waiting for u..
Acha maa wo bhabi said all that na please don't get angry on her... maybe Bhai didn't like her... or something like that might have happened... she is educated maa she will understand n accept... but it will take time... try n give her that
Putting the just closed bag aside sitting on the chair she rubbed her forehead looking a lot more disturbed with her question
Time? What are u talking about meera its already a month how much more would one need... n what is this educated mean haan?
How dare she think of something drastic as Divorce... is this what her family had taught her off!
U n ur generations thoughts n ideas of living amaze me... one side u ran out of ur own house coz u don't want to get married to someone who isn't well qualified n other side that girl... who marries a boy of her parents choice n now not willing to accept the same...
Maa it's not like that... Geet bhabi is good at heart... u know she took care of our home me bhai all alone even without any household help... she made sure i had my meals on time even when I'm all rude to her... I was so disturbed when I came home but she never let me feel out of the place... maa please don't misunderstand her getting up from the bed she sat infront of her badima trying to convince her... she didn't want to complicate things in her brothers life... maybe she was wrong when she blurted out about all that to badima... oh god what had she gone n done
Meera... u are a nice person yourself.. I've known you all from ur childhood... tryn understand ur parents perspective in the same way
Come now lets go... she said wiping her tears n cupping her cheek
Please talk to bhabi once!
Giving her a hug she walking ahead while her last words were hung in the air as if they were for people to hear!
Geet hadn't heard anything but the last few words... n she understood it was meera! A tear escaped her eye thinking why did she dislike me so much... after all she didn't expect meera could be so childish to talk all that to maa... no wonder maa was being indifferent to her!
When she heard the honk of the jeep she knew maan left n would return late in the night... she silently made her way to the kitchen to get things ready for the dinner..
What had life become... a cycle from meal to meal!!
Maybe higher education!? She wasn't sure n before she could continue her thought process she heard maa talking to maan on phone? Haven't he just left!
Oh it's already an hour since he left... she rushed out to listen if there was something important for her to know...
Haan beta I'll inform her... it's ok beta u take care
Geet...
Ji ma.. She wiped her still wet hands to her palu n looked at her anxiously... not even caring that the turmeric on her hands had left a strain her saree...
Wo.. Maan just rang up... he said he was trying ur no.
Maa wo my phone is in the room I kept it to charge is something important...
Nothing beta its meera's family they are insisting on him to say for the night...
Oh!
Is that okay with you?
Ji maa he must be tired already so.. It's better he stay back...
Ya right even I was thinking the same... ok beta carry on with ur work...
She doesn't like to be with him... as if he is of least importance in her life... Babaji what have i made my son's life into... he prefers staying out than coming home to his newly wedded wife... in all her thoughts she didn't even realise that she was burning with high fever n if it wasn't Geet who held her she would have hurt herself...
Oh no maa what have u done to yourself!!
She rushed out calling papa n get her phone to ring maan!
To be continued...
