Chapter 19
Decision Making
Too often the great decisions are originated and given form in bodies made up wholly of men, or so completely dominated by them that whatever of special value women have to offer is shunted aside without expression.

Thanks to technology of today that Shruti is able to let her heart out inspite of her deadly tight schedule!
"Trust me I do not even have time to eat poison and die" she commented to Rita on phone while she was whining about her lack of socialism to her.
She feared that Shruti had so much stored in her and again she is not sharing what happened between her and Govind to give up her apartment with Govind. Also work 24/7 to earn for her and Piu.
Shruti was handling with much difficulty for this was not the time to curse and complain. She had a lot to do and socializing stood last in her list.
"Well take care than, I think Surabhi needs me now. I'll chat with you on messenger app later." Rita finished the call only to resume late night after her husband and kids had gone o sleep to chat more with Shruti
R(Rita): u doing good
S(Shruti): I have no idea.
R(Rita): but you might have something in mind.
S: honestly all I am is because of Govind and without him *sighs*
R: I really do not understand how can he be such a fool to do this to u
S: no I do not blame him. He wanted best for us.
R: u mean u volunteered to separate but y?
S: I couldn't and I cannot share. It's personal.
R: why r I defending him.
S: Bcoz I......
R: I what? You still love him right?
R ?
R ? Are you there?
R are you crying?
S will talk to you later and
Shruti moves out crying to bed and soaking her pillow with her tears.
She still was in a dilemma whether her decision to leave Govind was right or wrong.
Shruti was missing Govind but Piu was worst. She’d miss jumping on Govind’s shoulders, hugging him in the morning, even teasing Shruti with Govind.
She cried today before going to bed “I want Daddy. I haven't had a pillow fight with him since ages. I want to go to Daddy.”
“Come I will fight with you.” Shruti offered but after a round or two Piu turned around folding her hands and teary eyes “you are no good, I want to play with Daddy. I miss him.”
Shruti sighed not knowing what to do. She was too hurt to decider her next step. All that she was, was because of Govind and his love and today when he doesn't trust her she cannot think of going back to him.
But Piu? What had Piu done to suffer all this.’
Shruti thought 'Govind always said that Piu hadn't asked her to bring her to life. It was we who took the responsibility of giving birth to an Angel and therefore we are indebted to her and we need to give her the best without expecting anything from her.’
So Shruti who believes her husband was her best teacher and follows his verdict and finally decides that Piu deserves a complete family. She deserves to be loved by both her mother and her father and she wouldn't deprive her of that even if it comes at the cost of get self respect.
