Desire or Demand of Happiness

Being a woman, each one of you might have experienced once in your life the joy of getting pregnant for the first time. Knowingly or Unknowingly, this phase comes in every married woman's life. Anjana was too eagerly waiting for this precious moment to come into her life. One evening when both were somewhere out in the car, Anjana asked Amrit

"Can we have a baby?"

Are you serious? I think we should take some more time, Amreet said.

But, don't you feel that we require someone who could add a bundle of joy to our life, Anjana uttered this sentence demandingly.

Amreet smiled at her and finally, the topic seemed to be paused at this time.

One morning when Anjana was on a call with her mother-in-law, something she got to know that made her a bit anguished.

Can't you come before so that you can engross yourself in chores? mom-in-law on another side.

Yes Maa, we are trying too. Although, Amreet is struggling to get leave.

Don't you have a commonsense that my daughter is still managing all household chores. If she still continues working then, definitely the color of henna is not going to get darker on her rough hands.

Shockingly, Anjana uttered just one word "OK"

Call Disconnected

What was the stupidity? I never heard this before. Even after resigning from my job, I was helping my mom with all household chores for one month. Despite that, my henna got darker. Anjana thought.

The harsh voice of Amreet's mom for the first time when she heard made Anjana upset but didn't reveal it in front of Amreet.

It was Anjana's sister-in-law's marriage, so both were desperately busy shopping. Hence, the topic was skipped out of their mind.

Next day morning:

Sunday 11 AM

Anjana: Wake up Amreet, It's already 11 o'clock. Our train is at 4 Pm. Hurry up or we'll get late. Check whether all packings are done perfectly or anything still left. I am going to the kitchen

Saying this, Anjana hastily headed towards the kitchen and got busy herself preparing and packing dishes for the journey.

"Oh, I forgot to mention that both the couple has to leave for their hometown today, as Amreet's younger sister is getting married".

A Voice from the kitchen ushered to Amreet's ear- Amreet, you are definitely going to make us late. Please wake up and get ready.

Amreet's all of a sudden woke up and checked time, Oh My God, it's already 12 PM.

Anjana, have you completed all your chores? Anyhow, we have to leave for the railway station by 2.45, then only we can reach on time. I am going to take bath. In the meantime please wrap up everything.

"Actually, the most important thing that every girl gets worried about while traveling is that nothing should she forget, right from her favorite dress to her make-up."

Anjana was also checking whether she has kept all her cosmetics as well as jewelry or not.

Finally, they both reached the railway station.

After two months of their marriage, Anjana was visiting her in-law's house for the first time. So, undoubtedly she was nervous yet excited.

On their way to complete the journey, Amreet kept explaining everything about his family. About their likings, their disliking and lots more.

Amreet: Anjana listen, most of our relatives were not in our marriage ceremony, so few of our relatives from the paternal side are also invited to this marriage. Purposefully, they are coming to meet you. So, try to handle them as best as possible. All of them have a conservative mind, so probably several things can run in their mind after seeing you. You don't be nervous seeing them.

Sure, you don't worry, Anjana replied politely.
