attending
pooja
at
our
place
assumed
that
I
was
pregnant
because
Ma was taking care of me. Gayatri
Ma obviously didn't like this. She
had planned to announce the
news of my pregnancy in a
grand gala way when the time
was right. Women gossiping
about my pregnancy bothered
her so much that she cancelled
her plans of a lavish celebration. I
wasn't happy either as this
created a misconception
between Gayatri Ma and Ma. Ma
even apologized to her. She still
remained miffed. No one was at
fault here but the mood was,
nevertheless, less than
celebratory.
Gayatri Ma instead decided to
have a simple pooja. I assumed
that my parents were not invited
as Gayatri Ma was angry.
However, it was later revealed
that Ma had somehow
misunderstood that the pooja
was cancelled. No one came from
my family and this hurt both
families. These events took a toll
on me -I was hurt, upset,
helpless, disturbed and extremely
worried about the increasing
misunderstandings between the
two families. Even Naitik felt the
same. As a result, I ended up
with a fever.
My sickness came in as a boon in
disguise as this brought the two
families together again. I was
pleasantly surprised to know that
Naitik had called Ma and
facilitated a meeting between
both families. I was very happy
and relieved to see Ma-Bauji at
our place. The tension was finally
cleared as everyone ended up
being together.
