But generally, outside, in the company, we behaved like everyone else, like a good husband and wife. Similarly, my mother and father-in-law behaved like good relatives. Outside, I would give a lot of respect to my husband and father-in-law. We both worked very hard. We even got big orders. We rose to great heights. Everyone said it was time for my daughter-in-law to come. But I would say that it was only because he came back that I only helped him. I would even fall at my father-in-law's feet in front of everyone.
My father-in-law is a big man in the village, so whenever he goes, everyone stands up and respects him. That respect is now being given to his son. Everyone treats me and my mother with great respect when he goes there. Everyone in the village now has a lot of respect because our company has grown to a large extent, we have employed many people, and we help with village affairs by giving money.
But when I think of the respect my husband and father-in-law show us at home, I laugh inwardly, and we laugh among ourselves. If I wink, they will be embarrassed and bow their heads. When the villagers bow their heads to greet us outside, and walk with their heads held high, I feel very proud when they bow their heads in front of me and lie at my feet as soon as I enter the house. The beauty of a lioness' bravery is to subdue and rule the male lions who are the kings of the country.
Then one day, when we were all together, they asked me if I had ever kept anyone as a slave before. To that, I narrated an incident that happened in my life when I was eighteen. (The story of a girl coming to see the groom). Then we went to his wedding, and it was the first wedding that my husband attended as a pottachi groom. The day after the wedding, everyone gathered and had a party. After that, our circle of like-minded friends started to grow. That's why our life is not boring.
Now that I have a child, I can't work much in the office anymore. But I will go there and sit and see how the work is going. My husband and my father-in-law will help me and serve me, pretending to be a celebrity. My husband will always bring me coffee in front of everyone. I will only drink half of the coffee he gives me, and then I will say that it's enough. He will take it and drink the rest as if to test why it's not good. If I say that I want some coffee, what's the point, my daughter-in-law will drink it in front of everyone, and without anyone knowing, he will keep winking at me. I will hit my head jokingly, saying karma, karma. My father-in-law will also serve all the food. Then he would take my plate and wash it.
Everyone would talk about how lucky this woman was to have such a loving husband and father-in-law. We would laugh inside, but as they say, there is a thread of love running through us.
I have a child. My mother has also left her job and is now taking care of our child. As much as I behave respectfully outside, I behave in the opposite way inside the house. There, inside my mother's house, they also play their game. We would leave the child there at mother's house and be happy here for a while. Then, when the child is with us, my mother would be happy with her family. Because we understand each other's desires and go about our lives, our life has also become very happy now.
