Raglak - In to the heart

10

Swara is tired and she sat on a chair in kitchen.  Sujatha stared,  swara...  dont you see we are working.  Why are you sitting there? Come and help me.

Swara sighed,  mom.... where is parinita baabhi?

She is in her room,  she said she is tired and adarsh said not to disturb her.. look swara,  you should quickly make whatever you are going to.

Swara nodded and started to work.

Sameer and his family came at exact time.  All greeted them and welcomed incide. Uttara took blessings and they all started talking.

Maneesha smiled and introduced herself and others. They asked about laksh and DP said he is gone outside for some work.

After eating lunch everyone sat on the couch to talk. Maneesha looked AP and smirked.
Uncle (Sameer Father),  are you planning to continue uttara studies?

Ofcource dear. What a question is that?  Uttara should decide what she wanted,  I want her to study and get a good job.

Uncle,  i never expected you have such a forward thought. Rohan said.

Sameer mother smiled. This is 21 st century and i dont think there are still people who thinks girls are only born to become a daughter in law.

Maneesha glared dp and said. I too thought the same way aunty. But my friend saniya experienced it once in her life that too from her own parents and i thought its rare. Now i know there are other peoples too who thinks like that after i came here.

Who is that?  Sameer father asked.

AP and Sujatha looking at each other to know what maneesha up to now?

when i came here i realised Maheswaries are thinking just like that. I asked what is uttara plan and she said her family doesnt like to see women studying or working after marriage. Maneesha sadly looked sameer family or we can say she acted like she is sad. Vamshi,  rohan and soham want to laugh by seeing her acting.

Sameer father gasped.. DP ji,  Is it right,  are you really thinks like that on this 21 st century.

DP didnt know what he would say and he stuttered,  i...no.. i have no problems like that...

DP uncle! That means you have no problem with womens working. Then why dont you allow parinita di,  swara and ragini to work? Maneesha asked.

Dp didnt know what to answer and he looked RP for help. Rp is RP,  he just smiled and looked at DP.

No,  actually we dont want to work, swara said and challenged maneesha.

Maneesha nodded her head,  oh swara... you didnt want to work,  thats ok, i know you have no character at all and i dont expect much from you. What about parinita di?  Di... you are too not interested in work?

Ap and sujatha glared parinita to nod her head. Parinita doesnt minded them. Maneesha actually when i am married to this house,  i really wanted to work. You know my mom and dad both are forward minded people. My dad always dreamed about my future as i am their only child. What to do,  when i came here papaji and mom is very strict and they told me to live here as their daughter in law. What to do,  i just left my dreams years ago... she sighed.

Maneesha nodded,  so now i want to know what ragini thinks?

Ragini?  I heared you are talking about 3 daughter in laws. Who is the 3rd one. They said they have 2 daughter in laws. Sameer mother asked.

Aunty,  ofcource they have 3. Dont you know ragini?  their younger daughter in law,   Lakshs wife...

Laksh wife?  They said laksh is in paris and they want to find a bride for laksh when he came back. Sameer said.
