Sanyog - A Coincidence
Her hands were shaking ⦠she looked at me â¦
I said ⦠donât worry ⦠you are doing nothing wrong in asking phone number of your own daughter ⦠right ⦠call â¦
She hesitatingly connected the call â¦
Surprisingly call was picked ⦠actually I wasnât sure whether her in-laws will pick her call or not ⦠but I was of the opinion ⦠whatâs harm in trying so I pushed her ⦠I thanked God again and again in the mind for listening my plea â¦
Hello Ma⦠this is Sanyogita â¦
I instructed her to put the call on speaker mode as well asked her record the call ⦠may be we can find some strong proof to support the case also ⦠She followed what I said â¦
Hello!... who is this ⦠I heard an elderly ladyâs voice â¦
Sanyogita Ma ⦠Sanyogita repeated â¦
Who Sanyogita ⦠we donât know any Sanyogita ⦠I heard the curt reply and then phone was cut â¦
Sanyogita burst into tears ⦠tears were flooding her cheeks â¦
I felt guilty and I repented for the haste in calling them without knowing their background and putting Sanyogita once again in the pool of tears â¦
Crying she was saying ⦠See ⦠I told you ⦠they are not good people ⦠see what happened now ⦠I am unable to do anything ⦠I am helpless ⦠Sameep ⦠I am a bad mother ⦠I am worst ⦠she burst once again â¦
Ma and Baba came out listening her crying sound â¦
Ma asked worriedly ⦠holding her by arms ⦠what happened dear ⦠why are you crying aloud â¦
Ma⦠Ma ⦠I interrupted ⦠I will explain ⦠Just now we called her in-laws but ⦠I paused â¦
They are demons ⦠Ma ⦠devils ⦠they said ⦠they donât even know me ⦠who am I ⦠they have deleted me and even my name from their life ⦠and here I am thinking about my daughter ⦠hopeful ⦠that one day I will get my dear Suparana back ⦠saying this she burst again â¦
How can one behave so insensitively ⦠Baba said ⦠Let me call his father â¦
Baba ⦠I stopped him ⦠this is legal case now ⦠they donât know Sanyogita is with us ⦠if they come to know ⦠the case will become more complicated ⦠so be patient ⦠I will do something ⦠Sanyogita ⦠Please stop crying ⦠go wash your face â¦
Sameep ⦠I have a bad headache ⦠she said groaning â¦
See ⦠what have you done with yourself ⦠Ma came to my rescue ⦠letâs go in the room ⦠you lie down for some time ⦠I will give you the pill ⦠you must rest otherwise you will fall ill unnecessarily â¦
Yes ⦠Ma ⦠I am really exhausted ⦠sometimes ⦠my head stops functioning ⦠still I feel its whining , churning ⦠and then this headache ⦠kind of migraine attacks I have ⦠earlier there was nobody to look after me but now you people are so loving and caring ⦠I should take care of you ⦠I should serve you but see ⦠its contradictory happening ⦠sorry ⦠extremely sorry for troubling you all ⦠Sanyogita said and again started crying loudly â¦
Looking at her condition ⦠I couldnât control myself and tears started trickling from my eyes â¦
Mayank was watching all this ⦠he came and said Sir ⦠please donât be panic ⦠you are not still well â¦
Baba said ⦠Sameep control yourself ⦠think about us ⦠we are elderly people now ⦠you should support her instead of getting stressed â¦
All my fault ⦠Sanyogita ⦠I shouldnât have forced you to call â¦
Ma said ⦠stop ⦠in a loud voice ⦠Sanyogita you come inside ⦠Mayank give his pill to Sameep⦠all calm down ⦠after half an hour we will call the lawyer and discuss the issue ⦠so disperse for half an hour ⦠everybody â¦
