And...she smiled heartily

Real women empowerment happens only...

when a woman helps another woman.

So... My dear Readers,

In this story also a sister-in-law and daughter-in-law help their daughter-in-law and that's why these three women are moving forward by helping each other.

 And she smiled heartily

" Oho.... there is a lot of work today. And since morning, I have received three phone calls from Didi that... when are you coming to your maternal home...? Now let's finish the work quickly... then I will talk to my mother. Will do!"

Pushpa was mumbling.

It was just eight in the morning. And Pushpa's hands were moving very fast. She had thought that this time she would prepare the Holi dishes a little sooner and after that she would ask her mother-in-law Gayatri ji for permission to go to her maternal home on Holi. Because this time after years all the three sisters were going to gather together in the maiden. That's why Pushpa especially wanted to go to her maternal home this time.

But... Even before she could ask her mother-in-law, her desires were shattered.

"Pushpa, just come here!"

Gayatri ji called her daughter-in-law with great love today. Then for once, Pushpa could not believe her ears that how much sugar candy mixed in her mother-in-law's voice today.

That's why after listening to mother-in-law's voice, she said with a little smile,

"Say manji! What's the matter?"

"I was saying that, if you want to go to your maternal home this time on Holi, then come earlier. Because Nutan is coming on Holi. That's why you have to stay here. Otherwise, who will take care of you? So... better In the meantime, go two days in advance and meet your parents and sistersOr else you leave after Holi! ,

"Munji! If I come together before Holi, they will ask me to stay for Holi. And Chhoti Didi is coming in the morning on Holika and will leave on the third day of Holi. And I am very excited to play Holi with my new sister-in-law. The mind waStill, if you say so, I will leave only after Holi!"

"Daughter-in-law! It will also be fine. Nutan is coming on Holi. That's why you have to stay here!"

Don't know how it came out of Pushpa's mouth even though she didn't want to...

"But Mummy! She comes every yearThis time I really had a big heart, to celebrate Holi by going to my maternal home.

"Let all that be daughter-in-law! And what if my daughter Nutan comes every year. She is the daughter of this house. And you also keep going to your maternal home every now and then!" She comes only three or four times in a year, now she has also started knocking in your eyes!"

Pushpa felt a lot of pain hearing her mother-in-law's voice.

But she did not let it be evident and started making arrangements for dinner.

It was always like this in this house. After marriage, she could not go to her maternal home on any Bhai Dooj or Holi.

Because... his sister-in-law Nutan had to come to her maternal home.

By the way, Pushpa had no special enmity with Nutan.

When both used to meet, both of them used to talk very well. And both used to share a lot. The sweetness of the relationship remained between sister-in-law and sister-in-law.

Nutan's behavior was so friendly with her that... Pushpa could not say anything to her that... Every time she comes to her maternal home on a festival. Because of this, Pushpa is unable to go to her maternal home.

Well.... this time Pushpa was getting a little angry on Nutan that.... why does she come on every festival...?

And because of that, Pushpa will not be able to meet her sisters this time for Holi.

Here Pushpa used to work in the kitchen and became sad thinking about it. This time, apart from the two sisters in the maiden, he also had a great desire to play Holi with younger brother Arun's wife Neha. And then everyone used to celebrate Holi at home only. Due to all these reasons, Pushpa had a great desire to celebrate Holi at her maternal home.

Now Pushpa was told by her mother-in-law that...

If he comes to meet his family members either before or after Holi... there was no question of avoiding him.

By the way, Pushpa's maternal home was only two stations away. But still she could go there only occasionally. This year, due to ill health of mother-in-law, it had been six months since she had gone to her maternal home. Meanwhile, Nutan had come to her maternal home three times.

Pushpa was thinking sadly that why this discrimination between daughter-in-law and daughter?

Then she got down to work and started thinking what to do so that she could meet both the sisters. By the way, she could have met the younger sister-in-law later also. But his younger sister was coming from abroad after four whole years. And after that don't know when she will be able to come again. So she wanted to spend more time with him.

But even if he does now, what should Pushpa do...?

Pushpa was very helpless. Thinking about it, he felt like crying and could not think of any solution.

This time when Nutan came, she saw that... Pushpa is very sad.

So one day he asked

"What's the matter sister-in-law! Every time you are very happy when I come. This time you are looking very sad?"

While working in the kitchen, listening to Nutan, Pushpa's hands stopped and don't know what happened, she started crying.

It was a very unexpected sight for Nutan.

Because she had often seen that Pushpa always treated her with a smile. But seeing Pushpa crying today, he felt that..Don't know what happened?

That's why she said while turning her hand on Pushpa's back,

"Sister-in-law! The vegetable will be made later. First you tell me what's the matter? Why are you crying?"

Till date, Pushpa had only seen Nutan's friendly behavior. That's why she was completely melted by his few words of sympathy.

And went on to say that...

"Pushpa didi! My younger sister had gone abroad after marriage and she has come this time after four whole years. I want to spend some time with her. She didn't even come to my wedding. She returned the day after Holi. Will go away. This time I had a great desire to go to my maternal home in Holi. But mother said..If you are coming then I should stay here now. That's why the mind remained in the mind. Everyone will be so happy there today.

And I can't live with them. That's why I'm crying so much!"

Nutan for once understood why Pushpa's face was so sad this time.

Today was Holika Dahan.... and tomorrow Holi.

After reassuring Pushpa, Nutan went to her mother and she said,

“Mother! I come every year for Holi. If it remains, how will we be able to celebrate Holi happilyI am also the daughter-in-law of some house...so I can understand this thing very well!"

For a moment Gayatri ji felt that...

Nutan is right. If Pushpa remains sad, then really how can anyone enjoy Holi.

By the way, he had also told Pushpa that...

"Daughter-in-law! Call your sisters here!"

But he knew that self-respecting Pushpa knows that….her sisters do not get that much respect here. And the sisters would not be able to meet freely here and neither would they be able to talk, so Pushpa had refused.

The morning tea was over. And Pushpa was about to prepare for lunch when Gayatri ji called her and said that...

"Daughter-in-law! Just come here and prepare to go to maternal home. I and Nutan will look after the kitchen work. Your sister has come, hasn't it...and you also have to play Holi with your younger sister and new sister-in-law, meet themSo now don't go to kitchen but go to your room and prepare to go home. Guddu will go and drop you off in an hour!"

Pushpa felt that...

Are his ears not hearing wrong...?

Then her eyes met Nutan's and Nutan looked her in the eyes as if she knew everything.

Pushpa said...

"Mother! If I go to my maternal home, then how will Nutan didi feel in Holi? She will be alone in Holi, won't she…?"

,

After listening to Pushpa, Gayatri ji felt that.... she is still worrying about her in-laws and her sister-in-law. What a big heart Pushpa has.

Now it was Nutan's turn.

He said.... "Sister-in-law, this time I and mother will celebrate Holi... Now you go to your home happily. This time we both mother and daughter will celebrate Holi together and you too celebrate Holi with your mother!"

"But Nutan didi! You have come to your maternal home to celebrate Holi, and I will go to maternal home. Will this look okay...?"

"Oh sister-in-lawAnd there your sister has come to meet you and she will leave without meeting you. Would it be ok...? ,

All this was so new and so unexpected for Pushpa that…She was not able to understand whether she should dance happily or prepare to go to her maternal home or love Nutan a lot because of which she was about to go to her maternal home to celebrate Holi.

That's why she stood where she was and...

Then Nutan came to him and said,

"What are you thinking sister-in-lawWhat don't you want me and mummy to celebrate Holi alone? It's fine....you go to your maternal home. We will celebrate Holi and also complain a little bit about you. please

We give some privacy to the mother and daughter and you go to your maternal home. You don't want us both mother and daughter to be alone. That's how I feel...!"

Now Pushpa could not stay and hugged Nutan. And looking at Gayatri ji said,

"Thank you mother! Thank you sister! Really, I can't believe that... I can go to my maternal home this time on Holi. You guys thought so much for me... I didn't think even in my dreams. Could!"

By now Babuji had also come to the meeting. And he said...

"Hey...! If the Lakshmi of the house remains sad, then who will enjoy celebrating Holi...?"

And after a while.....

When Pushpa was going to her maternal home with her husband, her heart was filled with everyone's love. And she held Nutan's hand and said...

Nutan didi, if you have a sister-in-law like you, then no sister-in-law will have any complaint about her sister-in-law coming to her maternal home. And any sister-in-law will consider herself lucky to have a sister-in-law like you.

Like.... today I am considering myself lucky. Today, because of your understanding and because of you, I am going to my home to celebrate Holi!"

Nutan said...

"Just sister-in-law! Don't make me too emotional now. Otherwise I will not let you go, just think...!"

Sister-in-law and sister-in-law both laughed out loud on this matter.

Both Babuji and Maa were standing at the door, shaking the hand of blessings.

Truth... The house from where the daughter-in-law leaves for her maternal home laughing.... Happiness can never forget the way in that house.

And in a house where there is an intelligent sister and sister-in-law like Nutan, the relationship between sister-in-law and sister-in-law can never deteriorate.

Today Gayatri ji also felt that... she did a very good job by obeying Nutan.

She was a mother after all. Even if she was Pushpa's mother-in-law. But a mother's heart lived inside her too and if a daughter remains sad in Holi, how would the mother feel good...?

This understanding did not come suddenly in Gayatri ji.

Rather, the credit for this went to Nutan and to a lesser extent to her husband as well. Who explained to Gayatri ji that...

"If the daughter-in-law of the house remains sad on the festival and will not be able to go to her maternal home when her sister-in-law arrives, then tomorrow she may not like the arrival of her sister-in-law. And Gayatri ji, due to her partiality, will create a distance between sister-in-law and sister-in-law. is generatingIn the future, when the parents will not be there, then for Nutan, her mother's home will become the house of her brother and sister-in-law. And if the relationship between sister-in-law and sister-in-law is not good now, then it may happen later...

That... Pushpa should neither arrange for Nutan's arrival nor wait for Nutan's arrival. Nor will she be happy on the arrival of Nutan. In such a situation, if new work comes in, then she will be left alone, she will be left alone.

That's why Nutan explained so well that...

It was understood by Gayatri ji that...

If the daughter-in-law of the house is happy then the whole house can be happy.

After all, if the daughter of the house is Lakshmi, then the daughter-in-law is also Lakshmi. What happened that she has come from some other house....? If she is someone's daughter, isn't she...!

Today Gayatri ji's own daughter Nutan had made her realize that...

Daughters are shared.

After leaving one house, they go to another house and buzz the other house as well.

And... happiness is also shared. And daughters are also an embodiment of happiness.

,

When a daughter can spread happiness in her maternal home, then she spreads happiness in her in-laws too. And when we share happiness together, how can we make daughters sad...?

After all Gayatri ji...How could you see happiness in the eyes of one daughter and sorrow in the eyes of the other daughter....?

Agreed that...she was Pushpa's mother-in-law. But she was a mother. And a mother's heart always wants her child to be happy.

Gayatri ji, so today when Pushpa was going to her maternal home, Gayatri ji was giving her blessings from her heart.

Today Holi was being celebrated in both the houses and none of the daughters had tears in their eyes.
