Ananya forward her hand to take the phone and looked at the screen with much difficulty which buzzed at night. Her eyes opened widely when she saw the name on screen. It was her mother in law.

Ananya quickly went outside from her room not to disturb her friends and find a perfect place to attend the call. Slowly she opened the balcony door of living room in first floor she talked to her mother in law.

" Maa ji "

" How is my son ? " That's what she fired first in a very rude tone which made Ananya flinched.

" Maa ji doctors are still treating him. He is not showing any improvement but still doctors have some hope." Ananya replied politely.

" Only doctors have hope as his wife you don't want him to wake up o from that bed right? Or one day you will come and say that my son is no more. I know you never liked him and it will be good for you if he is not in your life anymore you got everything that you wanted from him " Ananya gripped her hand on phone and shut her eyes tightly to control herself .

" Maa ji, What are you saying ? How can you even say that ? Did I ever disrespected him or you ? I tried my best to become his wife and a perfect daughter in law for you. Tell me where I did mistake that you are saying all these hurtful things to me " Ananya her voice shake while saying each and every word.

" Do I want to point out each and everything that you did to my son and my family ? Do you know why I called you at this time ? " When Annu heard her mother in law's roaring she decided to stay silent.

" I can't sleep now a days because whenever I close my eyes I could only see my son's body is taken to fire and you are not even dropping a single tears for him."

" The day you kept your leg inside my house from that day everything bad happening with us. It's like he took a bad omen with him after marrying you. "

" Why you are always saying such hurtful things to me when I did nothing wrong. " Ananya reacted back crying miserably.

" Everything is your mistake. I told him not to marry an orphan girl. Who knows when you were born and to whom you were born ? Without even looking the match he took the burden on his shoulders. Some people born with a fate to destroy everything they touch. At first your parents , who knows they ran away or they are even alive ? " Ananya couldn't control herself when that women began to spit venom about her parents whom she doesn't even know or remember.

" Stop it ..... please. Don't drag my parents into this . They are innocent" Ananya shouted back which was very miserable.

" Why you are closing your eyes on Gautam ? Is he perfect ? If you are expecting me to become a good wife then at first he has to be a good husband for me ..."

" Oh now you are blaming my son for everything ? He made all your dreams come true ignoring my warnings. He doted on you more than his mother or sister. You couldn't even able to give me a grandson , then how can a man love his wife ? If a women can't bear a child in her womb then that means she is not a women in real. A girl's life he will be complete only when she is blessed with motherhood. He can't even leave you because he was the one who approached you for marriage. "

" Maa ji..." Before Ananya could say something that women cut the call. Ananya stood there like a statute untill that long beep sound became silent.

Staring at the full moon from balcony within seconds she bursted into tears. She couldn't control her tears and she swiped all tears with both hands not letting them fall down. She looked at the marriage photo of her and Gautam. Her eyes were asking many things to Gautam.
