Mamuni is scared of her parents quarrel. Once they start fighting they will never stop, Mamuni become silent spectator of their quarrel. She feels in the night’s darkness as if everything is going to be merged in the darkness, there is no hope of light or assurance of making the situation all right. Only silence pervades there, breaking the peace of minds, the restless breathing of their parents. Some times she is scared that if her parents start screaming or throwing temper tantrum at each other then what will she do? Any way she is staying alone. She is the lonely child if, her parents leave the house and go somewhere then what can she do? All these thoughts irritate her increasing more anxieties and nervousness in her.

Suddenly doctor discovered the reason of Mamuni’s worries and nervousness. He advised her parents not to quarrel in front of the child. He said, now a days many children are subjugated, succumbed to the death due to the parental quarrel. Child’s mind is just like wet mud, whatever shape or form we give it takes that form any way she is a lonely child so it affects to her emotion as she cannot share her feeling with others ,she feels nervous and anxious for any incident predictable or non predictable. Her mind is puzzled with anxieties.

Now Mamuni’s parents thought on this matter seriously they were worried about Mamuni. They said, ‘Mamuni do not take our fight so seriously, all parents fight, it is not a new thing’ but, the soft, delicate mind of Mamuni could not understand all these things. So her mother took a strong step. She tried to solve this problem in a different way first she thought it is her duty to make some compromise between her husband and her. So, both of them tried to compromise between themselves only.

She tried to make adjustment with her husband by liking his hobbies; both started loving each other’s hobbies. Prannati likes to spend money on maids which Sushanta does not like. In real, Sushanta is not a miser he likes to spend more money on other expenses like hotel, restaurant, buying costly gift for her. Now she tried to incur her budget in a different way by adding more extra facilities to her maids like giving food ,clothes and other necessary requirements so both were happy ,exchanging their requirements this way. Sushanta does not like the attitude of Prannati, her over frankness, talkativeness, extra sociable mingling nature because, Sushanta was a very serious and reserved type of person so, Prannati tried to change her hobbies ,choices according to Sushanta’s choice.

Very often Sushanta also tried to take his family for outside visit. They used to visit restaurants, cinema halls and to his friends’ houses. Now, Sushanta and Prannati tried to share their feelings in very amiable loving way, caring and sharing each other’s views. Both supported each other’s views like appreciating and commenting on each other’s work very positively. They argued but, in a very positive way and compromising way in finding solutions of the problems. Slowly, slowly Mamuni could get enough confidence in her, she could realize that, her parents are just arguing not fighting with each other, they really love each other, they care for their sentiments and feelings. They have given up their egos and self ego.

As the psychiatrists advised them like that, they tried to pretend themselves as fighting with each other not the way they were fighting but in a different way of arguing, exchanging their views commenting each other good as well as bad, both way they tried to convince Mamuni, their sole intention was to motivate Mamuni to think differently in a different angle or aspect like she should feel that her parents are exchanging their views in a broader sense, giving good and bad comments of each other nature like this some times mother says her father ‘no no you are not a miser you like to spend money in other expenses as you like.

Sometimes her father says to her mother teasing see ‘Pranati your nature is very sweet, you are very mixing and sociable type, for that, people take advantage of this thing. They take you for granted as I used to take you. Definitely troubling you in various ways, you can understand my intention of commenting you, the value of my remark for your good only, accept my remark, change your self then you will see you will be happy’. Slowly, slowly Mamuni tried to overcome her fear, anxieties, unnecessary apprehension and suspicion as she used to feel, that, ‘her parents do not like each other, they like to fight aggravating the situation, not compromising with each other just like to blame each other throwing each other’s statement, not accepting other’s views.’

Now she realized the truth that, they are not in incompassionate and unreasonable to each other. They argue as all parents argue. Neither they harm each other nor they are going to break their marriage leaving ‘Mamuni’ alone as an orphan. Mamuni could gather confidence in herself. Slowly, slowly with the passage of time Mamuni too was grown up, she got some inner insight exploring the married relationship of her parents, she accepted their argument, quarrel in a more reasonable and perceptible way to her thoughts that, ‘they are not throwing temper tantrum on each other rather they love each other, quarreling is a not complicated but a simple way of expressing themselves, a typical married life.’ All parents love their children .They care for their children. They are not only parents but also are married couples so it is natural for them to fight for small, small things. They try to prove each other’s opinion as correct, practical and logical from their point of views. It is not quarrel but arguments which parents used to do. Sometimes they negotiate with each other in their arguments too.
