Suhana's Corner: Supreme sacrifices and some suspicions

Hi everyone, how are you all doing? Hope superbly well. As for me, I had a great week as my operation was a success and everyone was relieved. However, there was a fair share of drama as well, as I got my hands on a love letter addressed to I. Kashyap. It seemed like it was for Ishaan. I began wondering if he was cheating on me?

After the reports of the cancer, the hot topic at home was my operation. Arranging money was on everyone's mind. Ma sold her gold bangles for my operation which truly touched my heart. I was overwhelmed by her gesture.

When I went for the operation, I knew everybody back home was praying for me. At the hospital, I thought the doctors would open operate on my skull and shave my head as they had to remove the tumour from my brain. But the doctor assured me that my tumour was small, so it could be removed through the nose. I thanked God that I wouldn't have to roam around in a bandage with no hair. Yet, I was petrified about the operation. I got through the ordeal with my family's support and
doctor's assurance. After I recovered I was told that the operation was successful. I couldn't help but smile... what a relief it was. I guess till you don't fall sick, you take your health for granted. One should ensure you maintain a healthy mind and body by eating on time and proper healthy food, sleep for eight hours a day and exercise too. In the mad
rush for work in office and home, we neglect our health. Then when we fall sick, we regret it. Take a lesson from this chapter of my life and take better care of your health... coz I assure you this, you are
definitely not going to enjoy making trips to the hospital.

Ishaan took good care of me in the hospital. When I realised I had a big fat plaster on my nose, I wanted it to be removed quickly but Ishaan admonished me, and said I shouldn't worry about my looks just then. It was more important to heal properly. Yet I was worried about my looks and how I appeared before him in the plastered nose. I guess it's the woman in me who can't help but want to look beautiful for her husband.

My return home was eventful as I kept recalling the day I entered the Kashyap house. After recovering from the operation, coming back home was quite an emotional moment for me. As Badi Ma welcomed me with an aarti, I felt enveloped by the love of my family. I remember on my first day as bahu, Badi Ma had said that the mitti of the house would accept me and today I feel truly accepted by Ishaan's family. I felt God tested me and my love for Ishaan through this illness and we passed. I think times of difficulty are tests and we should not cower but face our fears head on.

You know, I thought money was everything in life and it could buy happiness but living in Ishaan's home, I feel family brings happiness and joy into your life not money. So the next day, I thanked everyone for their love and support during my illness and told them that I found happiness in the family because of the small things in life. Everyone was stunned with my declaration. Later, I made a vow, a supreme sacrifice really as I to surrender my credit cards and not shop for a month. If they can put their lives on hold, break their FDs, sell their gold bangles for my expensive operation, this is the least I can do.

But the week didn't end there. A mysterious love letter came to our house. As it was addressed to I Kashyap, Rajni didi, Disha didi and I didn't know who it was meant for? Inder, Ilesh or Ishaan. When I read the letter I realised it could very well be for Ishaan. When I asked him he kept giving vague answers, so I couldn't help but wonder if he is cheating on me. After all that we have been through, I know I should be more trusting, but this nagging doubt just won't go away. I can't stop
thinking about the letter. Do you think Ishaan is having an affair or am I simply being paranoid since now I have nothing else to worry about?
