Sameer : how many times have I told you, meghna to not to eat ice cream.
Meghna (jokingly) : who are you sir to tell me what to eat and what not to eat?
Sameer : I am your husband and a wife should always listen to her husband.
Meghna : yeah! Yeah! (in bragging tone)
Sameer : now take this tablet for 3 days and you will be fine.

Meghna: So what did papa say?
Sameer : Marry Nisha, else he won’t go for surgery. I will convince him. You don’t worry.
Meghna : don’t worry. Everything will be fine. Take care of him.
Sameer was lost in thoughts. He and Meghna were madly in love for 9 years. She was always there with him through his thick and thin. During his failures and success,in dark times. It was her, who gave him a new life. Loved him the most. For him, she was the one.
When Sameer declared his wish to marry her, his parents denied. His father suffered a heart attack. His father chose Nisha as a bride for him, who was the daughter of a rich landlord.

Nisha : Hey, look Meghna. You both are making it complicated. And believe me Sameer will soon forget you once he gets married to me.
Meghna : but we love…
Nisha :Oh Come on!! Forget this crap Meghna. You will get a very rich guy from your community.
———————*——-*———*———————Surgery went successful. Nisha and Sameer got married.

10 years later..
Sameer : how many times have I told you meghna to not to eat ice cream.
Meghna (jokingly) : who are you sir, to tell me what to eat and what not to eat?
Sameer : I am your…..
Within moments he realized what he said. And there was utter silence on the dinner table. It was a college reunion. Besides Nisha (Sameer’s wife) and Vikram (meghna’s husband) kept staring.
Sameer : now take this tablet for 3 days and you will be fine.
Both of them were teary eyed, Looking at each other.
Stubbornness and parental pride/ego devastated four lives.
