DAUGHTER-IN-LAW, IF YOU ALLOW, CAN I TAKE MY MY SON HOME

There was great peace in the house. Even if the leaves moved, their sound could be heard. There was more silence and silence in Vaidehi ji's mind than that. Two people were present in the house but despite that both were in different rooms. Suddenly the sound of glass falling broke Vaidehi ji's trance. When she got up and went to the kitchen, she saw that her husband Somesh ji was cleaning the water that had fallen on the floor.
You leave it. I will clean it
Came to drink water. I don't know how the glass suddenly fell from my hand.
Oh no problem. "It happens sometimes" Vaidehi ji said, took the mop from Somesh ji's hand and started cleaning the floor. Somesh ji was not able to tolerate his silence so he said
Come, let's perform evening aarti in the neighboring temple.
I don't feel like it, sir. if you want to go then you go
How long will you keep waiting for your son? Will come after four to five days.
Yes, I know how it will come... Vaidehi ji said sarcastically.
Leave it now Why are you waiting The more you expect unnecessarily, the more you will be worried.
"I am also a mother"
While saying this, Vaidehi ji started crying bitterly. But this time Somesh ji did not make her silent but took her hand in his and let her cry silently. This has happened every time since Vansh got married.
Vansh was the only son of Somesh ji and Vaidehi ji. He was born seven years after the full marriage, so he was also a darling. His parents paid very good attention to his education. Educated and made him an engineer. Today he is working on a big position in a multinational company.
Vansh was well settled, so two years ago, after a lot of thought, he was married to Roma. There was a lot of desire that if the daughter-in-law comes home, then there will be brightness in the house for a few days. After that anyway he had to go with Vansh to his job place in Bangalore.
But Armaan all got dashed. After the marriage, she spent a few days roaming around and after returning from the honeymoon, she went to her parents' house and sat down saying that she was missing her mother. Yes, a day before Vansh was to leave for Bengaluru, Roma had come to her in-laws' house to pack her luggage. Even then he did not talk properly to Vaidehi ji. But everyone felt that she is still new. The atmosphere of the house is also new. That's why it is not able to mix. But this misunderstanding was also dispelled by Somesh ji and Vaidehi because whenever Roma used to come, she used to stay directly at her maternal house. And the in-laws used to come and meet her three to four hours before the day she had to leave. Earlier, still Vansh used to leave Roma and come to Someshji and Vaidehiji. But for the last four times, Vansh used to stay with Vaidehi at her maternal home.
When Somesh ji asked Vansh to stay with his mother for a few days, Vansh was disappointed and said, Papa, I want to stay, but what should I do? Roma doesn't like it. She says that I am a daughter so I have to take permission to go to my maternal home. It's good for you if you go and stay with your mother. Stay with my parents for sometime, so that their heart becomes happy. Now tell me father what should I do?
But son, where have we ever stopped him? And anyway, when did she stay with us?
Papa, you are right, but what to do? Even if I try to come a day or two before, she sits down with a pout. If I say something, she starts fighting again and then I remain silent for the peace of the house.
And this time also the same happened. Vansh and Roma have come to this city for the last three days but are staying at Roma's maternal home.
Every time Vaidehi ji used to pacify, but this time her condition could not be seen from Somesh ji. On the second day, Somesh ji left home after getting ready early in the morning and reached straight to Roma's maternal home. Everyone was surprised to see him coming home so early in the morning. Then Roma's father said...
Hey Samdhi ji, it's so early in the morning today. Let's sit, how did you come this morning, "Samdhi ji, just came to take your permission" Somesh ji also said with folded hands.
Everyone was surprised to hear his words and started looking at each other's faces.
We don't understand Samdhiji, what do you want to say" Roma's father was still puzzled.
What is that, Samadhi ji, earlier when daughters got married and went to their in-laws' house, their parents used to come to bring them back and would casually seek permission from their in-laws. Look Samadhi ji, we know that times have changed so we have no objection. We have also come to ask your permission to take our son. His mother also waits for him the whole year. But what to do, my son cannot speak, so if you and Roma ask, can I take my son home?”
Hey Samadhi ji, why are you saying this? The son and daughter-in-law are yours. You have full rights on them.
Really? I never felt it in the two years of marriage. On the contrary, it felt as if my son had also become a guest. Who comes an hour or two before departure from here and leaves after meeting us like guests." Then finally Roma's father looked at his wife and his daughter Roma. Both of them were standing silently with their eyes down, finally Roma's father said...
Sorry Samadhi ji, it is not your fault, it is our fault. We never paid attention to this. Got the daughter married but never saw how she is behaving in her in-laws' house.
Then he turned to Roma and said...
Go to Roma, pack your bags. You are going to your in-laws house today itself. And remember, just like your parents wait to see you, your husband's parents also wait to see him. If you come to meet here, at least maintain a balance at both the places and walk. And if you want to go to your in-laws house like a guest, then sorry, after today you will be welcomed at your maternal home like a guest. Remember, don't get a chance to complain.....!
Seeing her father's strict attitude, Roma did not dare to say anything. She went inside and packed her and Vansh's luggage and left for her in-laws house with Somesh ji. Here the door bell of the house rang and Vaidehi ji went and opened the door. She became happy seeing the son and daughter-in-law standing in front of her.... Hey you guys? Are you going today itself?"
Hearing Vaidehi ji's question, son and daughter-in-law felt embarrassed. But then Vansh hugged his mother and said, no mother, this time we will stay with you for a few days. Didn't feel like being there without you!
"Really? Wait wait, I just came."
Vaidehi ji hurriedly went to the Pooja house and brought the Pooja plate after performing the aarti for her son and daughter-in-law and brought her to the house. After some time Somesh ji also came to the house and was happy to see Vaidehi ji's happiness.
Where did you go in the morning? Look, the children have come home and now these people will stay here for a few days.
"Okay! This is a matter of great pleasure."
Saying this Somesh ji went to his room. But he never told his wife nor did he let his son and daughter-in-law tell that how did the son-daughter-in-law suddenly come home to stay? After all, he wanted to maintain a mother's faith.
Not necessarily to break something
be stoned
even by changing tone
A lot of things break!!
