A Comeback

There are numerous, in fact, infinite moments shared and lived with parents. But some of the moments are precious. The moments one shares with his/her parents are the memories they wish to relive with their kids. Being a girl, you get less time with your parents. Education, hobbies, friends, social engagement, competition, career, marriage...Huh, a long list! Isn't it??

When you wish to live some moments with them, you get very little time. If am not wrong, this is the reason why every girl and their parents wish to spend more time together. Before marriage I had always thought of being a part of their daily routine. I never thought of being distant with them for any long time. I guess every girl does wish the same. But when she gets married, suddenly everything turns upside down.

I was never treated less than a boy, I was always preferred first being the elder child. Never felt less than my brothers. But when everyone was busy in the marriage arrangements, somewhere in the hearts of my parents they were recalling all the moments from my birth till date, and we're seen lost . Seeing them like this made me emotional as if am leaving them forever and every emotion melted into tears ....

The worst moment for me.

The best after that is the day I visited them after 45days of my marriage.

I was expecting a change. Yes, girls are treated very special and not less than any guest after they get married.

My father came to pick me from the station. I was full of emotions and was waiting to see them soon. The moment I saw my father I was like crying but what he was like he is seeing me daily. He smiled at me and started talking the usual way he used to do before. I held back my tears. When we reached home, my mother came with the 'arti thaal' to welcome me. That made me felt like a guest. But her expression was normal like earlier.

Everyone else was there to welcome me and started talking very formally. But these two people were the same. After some time, everything was back to normal. My parent's acts never made me feel that I was not here. That day I realised they had never said bye to me....That moment will never fade from my memory. Words fall short to express that feeling but, that moment made me the daughter again, and at once forgot that I am a daughter-in-law of the other house. I stayed there for four days only, very less na.....but each and every moment lived and shared with them are the four most beautiful moments I had shared with them till date.

Loads of love bou (mom) and baba (dad)
