Title : The special someone

He walked past the gate and settled at his favourite spot in the park. A bench facing the little pond where only few people used to visit . He loved that spot as it gives him the necessary peace which he probably doesn't get at home or emporium.

The time used for introspection was usually spent on this bench. He used to have his 'me time'. He hadn't been here since 4 months and miss being at his favourite spot. He decided this morning to go back to his old habits. However, this idea of 'me time' was suggested by his responsible daughter-in-law ( dil ) or should we call her daughter.

Pov:

I really don't know what right I have on her but whenever she calls me 'baba', I feel that she's my little baby girl. If ever I had a daughter, she would exactly be like her. But the fact remains the same - she is the widow of his dead son.

The fate has always been cruel to 'his' child. She has only lost people in her life, never gained.

Was that a correct decision to let her stay with us after her marriage which lasted only one day ?

Did he do any injustice to her or her brother by letting her stay here ?

Though she always denied the fact that she is being mistreated at house but deep down he know that this is not what she deserves.

2 years after his son's death, now he is realising that she has a life too and she deserves to be happy with one good family.

Hah ! He is now thinking about her in full sanity whereas a few weeks ago he almost accused her of having an affair.

Irony !

Someone else had to barge into their house to prove her innocence, to support her, to believe her blindly whereas it should be him in that someone's place doing these things.

When did the trust issue between him and his daughter-in-law shifted the gears of their relationship? Or say their lives ?

How did someone manage to barge in to completely uproot the roots of trust they had ?
Was that he himself ? Pallavi ? Sulochana ? Or that special someone ?

His brain answered ' THE TIME '

He chuckled. True !

THE TIME HAS THE POWER TO DO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING......

That 'someone' in pallavi's life was necessary to make him realise the importance of her character, nature and position in everyone's life at Deshmukh house. She truly was the back stage artist for his house & emporium.

Works in silence and bears in silence too.

' well ! You should thank that someone ' his heart 💓 answered .
