Towards A Change

That "blue" one ..? Dad asked with shock

Yes dad, that one ... Charlie said with a smile

No, you can't wear ... Dad said and shouted

Why dad? What's the problem?

I won't allow you to wear that and go with your friends for a hangout.

But dad ... Dad ... Please let me wear it. We all friends have decided to wear the same kind of dress for the party .. please dad permit me.

No, I won't and it's my final decision.

But dad please ... Charlie said and went away crying ...

What happened husband ... ? Charlie's mother came running.

I won't allow Charlie to wear that short blue frock to the party ... He said in a very rude voice

But what's the problem with it? It's just a frock and nowadays everyone wears it ...

I won't allow her and it's my final decision. Now you shut up and stop arguing with me .. Charlie's dad shouted.

Mom, mom, please let me wear that. Mom you know I love that frock and I have purchased it to wear today. Please mom .. Charlie screamed

Am sorry dear, you know your dad, he won't allow you.

But mom, what's the problem ? Charlie asked ..

The problem is, our culture and tradition won't let you modernise even if you want to. And you know your father well. He has such an orthodox thinking that he won't permit you at any cost. . her mother said in a very low pitch.

But mom, will I always continue to suffer for this thinking of dad? Charlie said and cried

No dear, you grow up, become independent and no one will dare to speak to you anything. Her mother encouraged her.

But mom, my youth will be gone that time ...

I know it well dear, but you know your dad and moreover to achieve something, you have to achieve your dreams and fulfill all these wishes of yours, you have to become strong and independent right..?

Yes Mom, you are right. I will prove to everyone especially my dad. Dad never lets me wear short dresses, just because of his thinking. I will definitely prove him and show him what I am upto ... Charlie got strength.

Yes my darling. Now wear that pink long Kurti and get ready for you party ... Charlie's mom said.

Yes mom. Charlie said.

However, Life is all about proving yourself. May it be to yourself or to your closed ones. Life's full of challenges and those who take them in a positive way to complete it and prove themselves are the real legends !
