Changes in Childhood to marriage on a Girl : सादी के बाद उसके घर में व्यवाहार🤔👇
When Reema reached the doorstep of her maternal home, her steps halted. This time there was a strange emptiness and sadness in her heart. This was the first time she had come to her maternal home without her father. From childhood to marriage, waiting for her father on every holiday was the sweetest part of her maternal home visit. As soon as she knocked on the door, her father’s excited voice would echo,
“Hey, Reema has come! Open the door quickly.”But today that voice was not heard anywhere.
Mother opened the door. She hugged her and asked, “Laado, how are you? Everything is fine, isn’t it?” There was the same affection in mother’s voice, but a tiredness and emptiness was visible in her eyes. This was the same mother who always used to be Reema’s companion in every joy and sorrow. But after father’s departure, her confidence seemed to have vanished. Now she did not seem to chirpy like before or work swiftly in the house.
As soon as she stepped inside the house, Reema realized that this was not the same house which used to be the safest and dearest place for her. The elder brother left after asking about her well being formally, and even the middle brother’s conversation did not have the same intimacy as before. There was a strange distance and formality in everyone’s behavior.
Reema’s heart started to fill with memories of her father. When he was there, there was a feeling of intimacy and happiness in everything in the house. Whenever she came to her maternal home, her father would make special arrangements for her. She always felt that she was like a princess in her maternal home. But now that intimacy and warmth had disappeared somewhere.
Father always took care of her needs. When she came to her maternal home from her in-laws’ house, father would send a car for her, so that she did not face any inconvenience. But this time the elder brother himself asked her to come by taxi. This small change shook Reema from within. She understood that without her father, this maternal home was not the same as it used to be.
Reema spent the entire week amidst formalities and silent moments. In every corner of the house, she could see the laughter of her childhood and memories of her father. But now all that remained only in memories. After father’s departure, the closeness and warmth between mother and brothers and sisters-in-law had also ended. The house had become like a museum, where only memories resided.
When the time came to return, the elder brother dropped her to the station and took a formal leave. Reema looked out of the train window, and the image of her father emerged in her eyes, when he used to stand on the platform till the train left, wave his hand, and bless her for safety. This time his absence filled Reema’s heart with a deep pang.
Tears flowed from Reema’s eyes. She understood that parents are the soul of the maternal home. Without them, the maternal home remains just a place, where memories remain, but the feeling of closeness and security is missing.
During the train journey, Reema promised herself that she will now cherish every moment and try to spend time with her mother. This time she did return from her mother’s house, but with a deeper understanding and a sense of reality. She learned that every moment spent with family is precious and should be lived whole heartedly.
