Ritwik’s Mom, Vaishaili aunty had her second baby… another
boy… Vithal Uncle sent her a text… at work… she had gone to their room at 1AM
ish… he wasn’t in bed… and she didn’t know when or if he returned to bed….
She woke and got ready for work, Sanjay wanted her to stay
late to finish a presentation to the Arabs tonite…. “Nobody is waiting for me
at home”
“So might as well she told herself
Bai called to complain about Dadi’s underhand dealings…money
Bai had put away for Aada’s plan for extending the terrace and adding a room to
fit their growing things…. Most of the money was now gone… Fa Bua’s hubby had
been presented with it to start a “company” to deal in “property and stock”
Bai sounded really distraught… Khanak reassured her… finally
scolding her that she would wire the money if she was so upset
“If its your money or Aada’s” it hurts the same” Bai told in
despair
Khanak’s eyes welled up with tears…
“Dadi will never change Bai… Sonali and Bua will always be
her favorites… Fa will never get a job… Shaa(Shaan is right?)” She stopped
abruptly as her thoughts wandered to her arrogant husband…
“You are educating Sonali… I suggest you quit sending her
tuition fees” Bai ranted
“And If she didn’t complete her nursing degree what would we
achieve Bai?”Khanak asked calmly
“Nobody would be willing to marry her. In that case I will
have to spend twice as much in dowry”
“You found a good man… an angel… Godsent … a handsome rich
boy” Bai gushed… tearful “You must never fight with him. I need a grandbaby
right away” Bai giggled…
“I will go adopt Vaishali Aunty’s.. Bai, she had a boy”
“I want a girl beta, just like you, shy and beautiful….. AND
TOUGH” her mother’s voice shook as she spoke…
A text pinged…. She looked at her phone… it was her husband…
“Did u take a cab?” he asked…
She didn’t respond…
“Sonali wants to do internship at Leelavati or Apollo Delhi
Bai” Khanak shared
“Oh!”
Khanak realized her mother had NO idea about how big or posh
both were… she did not have any connections…. Her family was full of it… she
wouldn’t dare ask… it might be a matter of a phone call for Dadi or Dad… Dadi’s
and all their Docs were from Leelavati
“I will ask her to do it in Navi Mumbai Bai”
“I will speak with Dadi about, talking to Bua… you need to
start focusing on your life”
“I am…” She lied…
“Aada wants us to visit for Holi, Dadi, your sasur and saas
all invited us”
“Really?” shocked
“Haan… kyon?” Bai was surprised
“Ummm” “I want to visit for Holi” Khanak whined
“Will your husband come?”
“I don’t want him to”… she lied….
Her first Holi in real sense with him… around the corner…she
could imagine the look in his eyes…

plzz aaj update milega
ReplyDeleteplzz waiting for ur back-to back updates yaar plzz
Thanks alot Aditee :)
ReplyDeleteFinally she has accepted what Shaantanu was correct about for ages! I'm sure he knew the benefactors took her for granted! How much she'll help it will never be enough! She needs to stop...she is just has to much resistance and self-less devotion for her 'extended' family!
Bai reaction was like any other mother, she wants the betterment of her daughter!
I cant wait to the day one of the million issues of theirs will finally take a back seat..
Waiting for Casa Holi! I'm sure it be elegant and as always different :)
Really Khanak has such selfish relatives......at one part she should be taking a stern step..........taking full responsibility of her bua's family is just too much.......she shouldn't let herself be exploited!! loved the update and waiting eagerly for a Shanak interaction!!
ReplyDeletebeautiful, I kinda wish she followed her mother's advise and cut off funding, maybe limit to funding Sonali's education maybe but not to send money to her selfish relatives that keep spending her hardwork results
ReplyDeleteAditee update!!!
ReplyDeleteUpdate soon Aditee!!! Missing daily update..:(
