Setu: 'No, don't believe it anymore!'

Lata Hirani

Rachi sat once I save garlands in a dream now I am my own light. Heta could not sleep the whole night. Mother-son dialogues echoed in his ears. Paresh was sleeping soundly next to him. He hated himself. Where is Heta who was studying in college and where is Heta who is a slave who is flying away from her husband and mother-in-law under this cloak! He did not understand why he came! At last he got up at half past four. The bedroom door creaked softly from the outside. I closed the door slowly so that my mother-in-law wouldn't wake up either. And called Shweta. 'So midnight?' 'Listen quietly. Can't bear it anymore.' He said the whole thing in a low voice. 'If Heta, don't dare now, never can. The one who suffers injustice is also considered as a criminal. Remember the dialogue of my play. You stood up and clapped your hands and then hugged me. It's not just words. is the truth. You remember that. Memorize it in your mind and you have to implement it as soon as you wake up in the morning.' 'You are right but it is scary. You know mom is lonely. Same thing when complaining. Bear with me, son. One day everything will be fine. I don't think that day will ever come if I suffer.' 'Masi has lived like this all her life and is alone, so I will not ask her now. What will happen after? You just have to leave the house! Well now Phoolwa is with your mom. You want me to come there. Then we will clear the road but now don't drive this. And if not, this is my last advice. You will never cry your sorrows to me again.' Shweta said in a stern voice. Heta hung up the phone and went to the balcony and sat. He decided that he had to revolt in the morning or else this courage would be broken. Mother and son got up at seven o'clock. Mother-in-law took a look at it and asked, 'Put the tea?' Saying that, he went to the kitchen. Paresh saw her and said, 'It's good that you got up early. It's about nine o'clock now. Cook slowly. No problem mom.' And Heta spoke loudly, 'Do you understand what is in your mind? I don't believe it, I don't believe it at all…' The handle of the umbrella, tightly held in his fist, began to shake. Paresh's hand moved but Kalzal didn't raise up seeing the fierce form of Heta. He took two steps back. For a moment Susuji was shocked to see this new form of Heta but soon recovered. 'Listen Heta, I should have explained it to you tomorrow!' Paresh spoke in a low voice. 'Said once. This time I won't believe it.' Why not believe? The monkey has a mouth!' The mother-in-law used to get angry at her son's promiscuity. Until today, Paresh used to shout at his own words, but what has happened to him today? 'No, by saying! don't believe Do what you can. Now the whole world is on my side, the law is on my side. Don't forget that if I leave now, the house will be disgraced.' 'So you are going to scare us? Paresh…!' Mother-in-law's voice cracked. 'No, I don't want to scare you. Your face is my face. It is the last resort, believe it or not! If you are ready to accept the truth, I don't have to do anything.' Heta's voice softened but became firm. 'Yes, now you are a storehouse of wisdom and we are all fools! These were washed by the heat of the sun!' 'All I have to say is that now I will speak and you will all listen. Your anger will not work today. Until today I listened to you like a slave. Enough is enough. I feel like studying.' Heta's voice was filled with so much boldness that they were afraid that somewhere Heta would really expose everyone! 'I feel surprised, why did I come here? Paresh, how faithfully my parents connected my life with you and you did not keep me anywhere! Paresh, did you ever think that my condition was worse than that of a widow! And my mother, she always told me to make mother-son happy. He proved that his daughter's parents are idiots. Maybe she herself understood my pain but never took my side and stood by my side. What a tradition! What kind of culture is this! Now my eyes are opened. No one will help me. I have to help myself. No, Paresh I will not kill my second daughter! I didn't want to have a sonography but you didn't listen to me. Doctors had ways to tell the sex of the baby even though it was forbidden by law and you took advantage of it. Right now, at this very moment, I am saying with complete sanity that I will give birth to my daughter. If you do not believe, I will leave this house and expose you. This is my pledge. My blossoming like a flower, what did I get by being born in this house? How was my first child welcomed in this house? Your own blood toy Paresh, you are just becoming a mother's parrot! Mom, why did I forget that you did not put your hand on my daughter's head when you came to see me in the hospital? To you it was a stone at birth and it is still a stone to this day.' Heta was panting. The mother-in-law was silent and Paresh called the doctor to cancel the appointment. Well done Heta! I want to stab you in public, but I have to change your name so that you don't get into trouble while applauding your courage! Ultimately you have to live with the people against whom you have stood up for a righteousness and you have conquered.
