Exactly 4 days after my and Sraboni's marriage, I noticed that our housemaid is no longer coming. I then tell my mother,
- Mom, is Shefali sick? I haven't seen him for two days
Mother replied, - I don't need a working girl anymore. You have to pay so much money in just a month. Moreover, now there is a mother-in-law
I didn't say anything to my mother anymore. Standing on the balcony, I just thought, after my marriage, my mother said goodbye to the maid, while my younger sister gave me a maid along with the gift items when I got married.
As I was thinking these things, Sravani stood behind me and said,
- Shall I tell you something?
I looked at him and said, - Hmm, tell me
Sravani then bowed her head and said, - I'd like a pair of sandals. Having trouble moving after heel shoes
After hearing the word from Sravani's mouth, I felt very ashamed. My wife has been wearing heel shoes for 4 days and I didn't notice it. I should have noticed. I then said to Sravani, - Okay, I'll bring it today
When I returned home in the evening, I bought a pair of sandals for Sravani. When I entered the house with the sandals wrapped in paper, I noticed that my mother was talking to my aunt next door. Mom looked at my hand and said, - Kiri, is it in your hand?
Before I could answer, Aunty, who was sitting next to me, pursed her lips and smiled.
~ What else to bring, Sandesh must have brought sweets for his wife in secret. Now the son-in-law will close the door and eat together. Don't even think about giving it to your mother
I removed the paper and said to my aunt,
--I brought a pair of Bata sandals for my wife for 75 rupees. Now if you find it sweet, you can eat it with tea
Saying this, I put a pair of sandals on my aunt's lap and entered the room. Then I looked at Sravani and said,
--If Aunty doesn't eat the sandals, then if Aunty leaves, put the sandals on her feet and see if it is okay.
Sraboni smiled and said,
-All right
Sravani's forehead turned blue to suppress the smile. I was fascinated by her and wondered how a girl can be so beautiful ...
My mother said angrily that I took 3 kg of sweets to go to my younger sister's father-in-law's house.
"If I take 3 kg of sweets, the in-laws will tell my daughter various things."
So I took 6 kg of sweet 2 kg of yoghurt and 1 kg of rasamlai that day. But today when I go to my father-in-law's house with Sravani, my mother said,
- The in-laws don't need to take so much. Two kilos of sweets, half a kilo, half a kilo should be taken in 4 packets.
I didn't answer when I heard my mother's words, I just smiled a little and looked at Shravani and she was trying to hide her tears.
Sraboni did not say a word to me in the bus. Just looking out the window of the bus. When I got off the bus and got on the rickshaw, I told Sraboni, - Where do you find good sweets here?
Sravani then told me, - Pius, even if you go to our house empty-handed, your care will not be so lacking.
I then grabbed Sravani's hand tightly and smiled and said, - Crazy ...
When I returned home with Sraboni on the 3rd day after staying at my father-in-law's house for two nights, my mother opened the door and said the first thing, - I forgot my mother after taking care of my mother-in-law. What mantras did your mother-in-law teach you?
I then looked at my mother with tired eyes and said, - Mom, I've come a long way. Talking to you later ...
Sitting at the dining table, mother looked at Shravani and said, - Booma, I didn't tell you to cook with dried potatoes. Why did you cook with eggplant instead?
Sravani then said, - Mom, we cook here with dried eggplant. It will be good if you try it once
Mom then laughed and said, - Now you have started acting like yourself without listening to your mother-in-law. The rest of the day is after
Sraboni understood exactly what her mother had said, so she bowed her head and said, - Next time, it won't be so wrong, Mom ...
After a quarrel with her mother-in-law, her younger sister Maliha stayed at our house for 13 days. Of course Sayem (Maliha's husband) came twice to take Maliha but mother told Sayem directly not to give Maliha. Only if Sayem takes a separate flat will he let Maliha go. Her daughter will not be able to follow her mother-in-law's orders
Sayem has come again today. Sitting in the drawing room, Sayem told his mother that he had taken a separate flat. Now he will be different with Maliha. Hearing the words from behind, I went to the drawing room. I looked at Sayem and smiled and said,
- Come on, finally your senses came up
Happy Eid in mother's eyes then. Mom smiled and said, - Come on, Dad, this time I'm free. I will not worry about the girl anymore. Hey, is it the eighties or is it that the mother-in-law has to start a family together? This is the year 2020. The girls of this age always want to decorate the world in their own way. Nowadays, is there a day to follow the orders of the mother-in-law?
At that time Sraboni entered the drawing room with breakfast. I then said to Sravani, - Go, get dressed and go to your father's house
Sraboni looked surprised and said, - I mean!
I was a little angry and said, - That means you go to your father's house now. And when I go to fetch you, you will tell me straight away that if you take a separate flat, you will not come before me. Hey, you are a girl of this age. You also want to organize the world in a different way with your husband. Nowadays, is there a day to follow the orders of the mother-in-law?
Sravani then cried and said,
-Pias! Please
I then rebuked him and said, - Do what I say
Sravani.

Thank you.
