Relationship

Suddenly, tearing the silence of the night, the house's call bell arose. It was a hot summer day, I had slept at eleven o'clock, that when I saw the outside lights on, my senses were blown away. Chanchal was standing in front. The auto was turning back. Where is this late night coming from? I stared at the wall clock while standing. It was half past one night. I asked from within, is everything alright? At least you could have called.

     Chanchal was living in a live-in relationship with a young man in Mumbai. He must have got the call only once or twice in these three years. She was very stubborn, never listened to anyone.

    Chanchal said, from this everyone will ask that the gate will also open? I opened the gate. Chanchal had two suitcases and a handbag. She threw all the things on one side in the verandah and Ho herself spread on the bed lying in the verandah. She looked very sad and unmotivated. I asked again, where are you coming from all this night? Would have called at least once, would have sent your brother-in-law to the bus stand to pick you up. Is everything alright? She said, Didi, you will ask all the questions now, can't you ask in the morning?

     Many questions were swirling in my mind. I came to the bed reluctantly. Husband was sleeping peacefully, even if the thief steals it, by his power. His innocent face was looking adorable. Although I was in turmoil, I did not consider it appropriate to wake up the sleeping husband.

     I was turning sides, sleep was far away. It was just yesterday...

    There were only four of us in the house. Mom-Dad, Me and Chanchal. There was also a small temple in our house. Mother used to do service-worship. Mother was of spiritual, cultured, religious attitude. He used to have food after reciting Ramcharit Manas every day. Father should not suffer at all, he used to take full care of him. Dad worked in a private factory. Although father's income was not high, yet he used to fulfill our every demand very easily. She never asks for anything for herself. In her arrival, she used to run the household chores. Mother used to work all day, I felt pity for my mother, I often used to help her in her work.

    We were being raised like boys. We used to study in the same school. Dad wanted us to study a lot and become a big officer. But when I passed class XII, my mother clearly told my father that the child had grown up. The times are bad, day by day drunkards are making girls victims of their lust in the metropolis. I don't want to lose my baby girl. Make his hands yellow soon. Anyway, these are their days of eating and wearing.

    Soon the wish of the mother came true. A groom was found for me in a town. He used to work in a press in Delhi. When the father told the mother, the mother was not happy with her. When the father told his photo to the mother, the mother was very happy.

    Mother wanted that even if we both get married together, the expenses will also be saved. When Chanchal heard it, she categorically denied that I would not get married now. I will marry only by standing on my own feet. Earlier you people used to say that we will marry our daughters only when they stand on their feet. Father also started taking Chanchal's side. Then mother did not say anything, she was left feeling sad. is?

     My marriage was completed with pomp. I had come to my in-laws house. Mother-in-law used to take great care of me. My studies were over. My in-laws did not want our daughter-in-law to come out of the house. Everything was in the house. Over time, I had two children as well. My heart was engrossed in the in-laws' house. Now I seldom For some program, she used to go to her body.

     After going to my in-laws' house, mother became unmanifest. She was a playful, playful girl. Where did she stay at home? He was more about making his career than marriage. Father also wanted that my daughter should not get married outside this metropolis. With time he got M.A./M.Ed./Ph.D. He had held many titles. Now it seemed impossible to get a groom equal to his educational qualification in the society. Mother was getting worried. His health also started deteriorating. Father was busy looking for a groom for Chanchal that on seeing Chanchal became pregnant. When the mother came to know, a hundred pots of water fell on her. He stopped going out in the neighborhood. Chanchal had told everything. The boy was his classmate. He was of non-fraternity.

     Mother-father persuaded Chanchal to abort the pregnancy, but Chanchal was adamant to marry him. What could mom and dad do? The society was also not cooperating in front of the courts. In such cases, the court was also seen supporting the girls. How could society even explain to them because of non-fraternity? In the end, he settled the situation by giving up. As soon as Chanchal got married to Neeraj in the temple and also got the marriage registered in Arya Samaj.

    Chanchal had gone to her in-laws' house. Chanchal had a child too. Neeraj and his mother were the only ones in the house. Neeraj was temperamental. In the beginning, he used to move Chanchal a lot, later his money was also lost. On the other hand, the mother-in-law was also fed up with Chanchal. She kept saying that it spoiled my son's life. Chanchal wanted to go out and earn, but the mother-in-law was against it. Often Chanchal would come to her feet during the day. At first, parents like it. But gradually he also started cutting her throat. Papa would instruct her to stay at her in-laws' house, but Where was Chaal supposed to believe? He too was disillusioned from there. On the other hand, Neeraj also stopped paying attention to him.

     Chanchal once again remembered his career. She wanted to earn a lot of money. He started seeing all the happiness in money. One day Chanchal was very happy, as if her wish had come true. He recently gave an interview in a private company. Whose head office was in Mumbai. There he was being given a package of four lakh rupees annually. Mother and father explained a lot to her that your life is for your husband and children, you have liked yourself, then why are you leaving them? You have likewise put soot on our family. Because of you, our relatives have also stopped visiting. But where was Chanchal going to believe?

     One day she went to Mumbai. He joined his job there. Now she would neither take care of Pehar nor her in-laws, even she would not take care of her son. It was as if the ghost of earning money was riding on him.

     Although the mother wanted to sell her house and take a house elsewhere, it was not easy to sell it at the cost of whips. Mother also kept suffocating from behind and one day she passed away. Even father could not bear the shock of mother, he also passed away on the third day. We only did his work. Chanchal had no clue.

     How could the young girl live alone? He needs someone's support. In Chanchal's flat, there lived a handsome boy in the room opposite him. He always kept a big spectacle on his eyes. There was a look and feel of the house, there was no shortage of money. A car and a driver were also always with him. Gradually, Chanchal was getting addicted to that boy and one day he also left that HiFi job in Mumbai and started living with him. He must have called only once or twice.

     When I fell asleep, I could not concentrate. Didi's voice broke my sleep. Looked in front, Chanchal was standing with tea for me. On the other hand, Chanchal told that today the police was behind to catch that boy. That was Hi Fi Under Dawn. He was arrested for smuggling heroin. Now he too was afraid of his arrest. Now suddenly she was haunted by the memory of her husband and child.

     On the other hand, Neeraj was also married in his community according to the wishes of his mother. His household was settled. He too had started earning now. When we called them, Neeraj's wife was upset, asking to call the police. Chanchal had the same fear of the police, so now she was silent.
