Duty..Own, Own

Hey Papa, you are not ready yet. where is the bag? Yours. Let me pack. Papa cast a sad look at Nili, Nili son, I will not go anywhere. This house is full of memories of your mother. Nili's eyes filled with tears. Papa, it has been six months since mother left, your health is also not well, so I cannot leave you alone. You are coming to my house with me. Son, how can I stay at your house?People don't even drink water from my daughter's house. Then your in-laws and father-in-law are also there. How can they like my staying there? After all, I am an outsider. Papa, those people are not like that, they are so nice to me. Nili sat down taking Papa's hand in hers. Last time you had a sugar attack. Saying so with great difficulty, tears welled up in her eyes. Papa, I am your only daughter. All your responsibilities are now mine. I just won't listen to anything else.

Papa was lost in thought and Anil (son-in-law) ji did not say anything even once. Yes, it was definitely said that Papa, we will keep coming to meet you. Nili you asked your son-in-law. Hey Papa, his and my opinions are slightly different. Nili came to her home with Papa. His in-laws and father-in-law were shocked to see Samadhi. Anil also touched his feet and said, Papa, you have done well in coming here for a few days. Papa started staying but he felt that perhaps his son-in-law and his parents were not happy with his coming here. One day Papa was roaming in the lawn when suddenly he heard Anil's voice.

How long will Nili Papa stay here? Why are you asking this? Who is his there and his health is also not good. Hey, you are not understanding, we are starting to feel strange in our own house. Who should we? Okay, Mom and Dad told you. Now whatever you think. Hey, you can make good arrangements for them there. Papa could not listen anymore and came back with trembling steps. Started preparing to leave the next day.

Nili said, Papa, how will you go like this? Papa started scolding him, Nili, don't worry unnecessarily about me, take care of your husband and in-laws, son, I can take care of myself. Nili son, it has been a long time, now you should go, I will talk to Anil. You are not feeling well right now. When you get well, I will drop you myself. No Nili, look, I will get angry with you. Nili started preparing breakfast.

I was thinking that someone had said something to Papa. After having breakfast she said that Papa is going today. She was looking at the faces of her mother-in-law, father-in-law and Anil that their faces were glowing. Then he said that I have decided that how will Papa live alone in such a big house. I am thinking of opening a small school there for poor children.

Papa and I will together form a trust so that the school can continue even after Papa. And Papa, you have that land, sell it, its value is Rs. 2 crores, we will deposit it in the trust fund and with the interest from it, we will help in the fees of those poor children who want to do something and contribute in it. Rest of your pension and funds are enough for you. Papa, I start working on this from today itself. Papa was looking at him bewildered.

Anil's eyes went dark and his parents' mouths remained open. Started calculating in his mind that a house worth Rs 5 crore, land and funds worth Rs 2 crore is such a big loss. When Nili returned after leaving her father, Anil was waiting for her. What nonsense were you saying? Nili smiled and said, this is not nonsense, it is the truth. I will do this so that no one has to wait for my father's death.

What is that thing that Papa did not give on my marriage? Anil said angrily, this was his duty. The duty is only of the girl's father. Because he has made the mistake of giving birth to a girl. I am my father's only daughter. So wasn't it my duty to take care of him, that too at a time when he was not well? And they need support.

I am sorry that his stay here for a few days caused trouble to everyone. I never stopped you from performing your duties. He left no stone unturned in serving his in-laws and father-in-law. You cannot stop me from fulfilling my duty towards my father. There was determination in her voice, Anil was looking at her silently.
