Namastey! ...
I am a woman, an Indian-middle class woman! Carrying purely middle-class values having only one dream and is to live with family! Having few questions...those are haunting me from the last few days! Being a Punjabi I never learnt to bow down! But who is stronger than GOD? Fate was unavoidable! But I have decided to fight against! And my fight wasn't new!
When I was young...my family tied my knot with a young man...a business man of clothes, the second child of the family! I entered into my in-laws house, everybody there was as good as I thought! They welcomed me and within few months I have become the strongest person of this family! Not that I was rude or heartless but I carry some morals and values, which is inseparable from my personality! Not to tolerate any injustice, bad-manners and any kind of violence! My protestant character sometimes had been appreciated and sometimes they used to say I am too much! But I do...what I feel it is right for my FAMILY! Take a stand is not sin.
My bhabi...the eldest daughter in law of the family, is the loveable personality and a happy go lucky woman who loves to cook...she's not only a good cook; but also an innovative cook, we're vegetarians ...and she is like the magician...whole day she use to prepare various kinds of dishes! We appreciated, we enjoyed and she used to become happy. Though I sometimes feel that she deserves much more than that! Another bhabi...the youngest daughter in law of the family ...when she came as a bride...our family becomes fulfil by blessings and happiness! But it won't stay longer.
My badi bhabi Meera ...once had to go to the market with her husband! When she left...she called me and gave her little daughter to me : "kanta! Until we're back! Take care of her like mother! We're going to fulfil my little princess's demand!" I smiled and nodded! I will be her mother until you come back! ...little Mahek began to play! It was long time passed since they went! Suddenly my father in law shouted...I rushed out! Asking my husband and devar what happened but everybody were weeping, my husband was acted like mad! I heard that both jeth-bhabi faced an accident and they died! ... I couldn't believe! It was just few hours ago they left...what happened?... Nothing was working in my mind but just a promise: I will be her mother until you come back!" I will be...bhabi!
Time and tide...waits for none! After the accident I had to take wheel in my hand! At least one member have to be strict in the family, otherwise there will be no value in the family! Our little princes Mahek has grown up! I ...from the age of sixteen started earning! How? She followed her mother's foot-steps! Like her mother...she also believes that GOOD FOOD CAN MAKE YOU HAPPY EVEN IF YOU'RE IN THE WORST SITUATION! I never stop her! Let her be...if she finds happiness! Then there is our happiness! Our Mahek! Plumpy, innocent and simple...now my final duty begins!
Who will marry a fat girl? I widened my eyes to sheetal, the big mouth lady and unfortunately our neighbour ...look at my daughter! Any boy will choose her instead of mahek! She taunted in front of all...oh! sheetal you may forget that Mahek is the one who prepared food when your daughter ...someone held my hand tightly...it was Mahek! I looked at her, fear, shame; a mix complex was in her eyes! I cannot tolerate a single word against her! Not from anyone...neither from my family...nor from my neighbour! I recalled chef Rajiv's proposal...and announced...she's gonna participate in the ISC! She will be famous...through her mother's recipe! My bhabi will be proud to see this! Mahek looked at me...she was nervous!
Now I regret! Why did I take that decision...else we don't have to face this days!
