Hello dear Meshmesh!
How are you doing?
Interesting question it is!
>> What was your reaction when KN uncle told you about Sukor? Were you surprised or did you suspect something before?
To start with I will tell that I have already met KN bhaiya in last year company annual function.
He is a down to earth man, true to his words, his words and the way he treated me, he took the place of a brother.
Before that, whenever my son talked about him, I thought that his boss was like only for the outer world but when I got to meet him in person, my opinion changed.
So coming to the point, when he came to our house, I was first surprised.
I didn't know the reason but asked him to take a seat and waited for him to speak.
All he said was "My daughter is my life!" I didn't get why and what he meant "Her wishes are my orders! Whatever she has chosen to do or to get or to live for was always right choices!" I listened to him fully "And now she has chosen her life partner! And I'm happy that the person is someone I value!" His words and his presence made 1000s of hypothesis to cross my minds. And me being a drama Queen as my son calls me, I even thought to link few dots which made few lines clear but I wasn't sure of them. "Our children are in love!" And that confirmed my suspension "I would have wished they told themselves to us but it is never too late! If you are okay with their wish, I will be the happiest father on this earth!"
What can I say to him!
I love my son! He is my lifeline after my husband's demise.
My strength, my world, my everything!
What else will give me happiness than to see him happily married? Nothing!
And KN bhaiya, he could have decided something else for his daughter but no. He came here to get my acceptance.
But in all this, my only question was why didn't my son say anything to me!
After all I am his mother, I have the rights to know. Well, I have to deal with him after wards I thought.
Without any hesitation, I said "You are the elder of the family, your decision is mine!" And everything was fixed.
I was eager to meet my daughter.
And when Bhaiya said, she is waiting outside, I couldn't keep calm so prepared everything to welcome her home.
And I think you all know what happened next.
In all this, I got a lovely daughter thanks to my son, so left him with just a bit of teasing ;-)
But then that night, when I thought of how I didn't notice anything it's because my son was himself.
No changes were there, no lies, nothing.
All I can is that I'm proud of my son for being himself and I'm lucky to have a daughter who can make anyone happy!
After all, she is a drama Queen too!
Thank you for this question which made me remember the day I got a daughter in the form of my daughter-in-law!
Thank you!
