SHE'S ONE OF US - CHAPTER 29



                                                         
                                        





Synopsis:

Shree got appendix. So,  she and Akhila moves to their home town and Shree was operated . Sai was too worried about Shree and went to the hospital to see Shree. Shree went to the graduation day. There she met Sai's mother. His mother's question , "Can you able to have kids after your marriage?" made Shree dumbstruck



Even If you are an angel, You are a waste




 She was shocked to the core and didn't expect such a question from Sai's mother, Shree smiled in shock, though  she don't want to. Sai's mother keenly watched Shree's reactions and stressed the question again as there was no verbal response from Shree. Shree decided to give the same shock to her back, So Shree smiled and asked "What if , I say , I can't have a child".  Sai's mother was so shocked and said "If that is the case , you can't  marry my son". Shree again gave a wide smile and said "There is nothing to say on this . Let's stop here.  Go to your son and tell him that she can't have child after marriage and try to forget her". Sai's mother was furious and said "Even if you are an angel , if you are unable to give birth to a kid , you are a waste". Shree smiled and said "Hmm Hhhmmm". Shree said "Okay fine. Go and talk to Sai about this and take a decision". Sai's mother said "Yes , I'll take care". Shree smiled and said "You have any other questions to ask me?". Sai's mother starred at her. Shree said "Thank you . It's getting late for my graduation function". Sai's mother in frustration said "I heard that you got University first rank, but what is the use. I pity you". Shree giggled and said "Thanks". Shree moved forward near the stage. Her name been called. She stepped into the stage with pride.  Every hair at her back stood up . That was the precious day ,  which Shree dreamed. She took the award and passed Sai's mother. Sai's mother thought shree was coming to her to show the award. She by passed her and went straight to her mom and dad and showed the certificate. She happily got their blessings.  Kalpana noticed this and added fuel to Sai's mother thoughts. Kaplana said "I said to you , that she is prideful, but you never listened to me". Sai's mother bite her teeth in anger and left the place.



I love her so much 



The moment Sai's mother reached home , she saw Sai sitting and reading a newspaper. She was restless and angry. She said to Sai "I need to talk to you". Sai lethargically said "About what ?". She said "About Shree". Sai kept the newspaper and said "How was the graduation function. Did you see Shree getting the rank?. She struggled a lot to get that rank. God didn't give me that opportunity to see her happiness at that moment". Sai's mother said "Will you please stop it. She got operated in her abdomen and she can't have child. She is saying that to me  without any hurts. I won't allow her to come to this house as my daughter in law. Moreover she insulted me without showing the award". Sai said furiously  "What did you ask her ? ". Sai's mother said "I asked directly if she can have child after the marriage and she accepted that". And now Sai understood everything. Sai said " First of all , why did you ask such a stupid question to her and what she would have thought about you. How cheap ...That's completely fine , I want to make one thing very clear. I love her so much, even if she can't have kids. She lied to you because she got frustrated of your stupid question. Even she can't have kids , It is up to me to decide my life. I will never leave her for any reason. By the by Shree is completely fine to have kids".  Sai's mother was  furious and said  "How can she lie like this? Is she not ashamed to lie and it is her future". Sai said "She already would have come to a conclusion that she don't need such a future. I really don't know how to convince her on this". Sai's mother was about to continue to talk. Sai said "Nothing to talk any more. You are testing my patience. I am leaving town today". Sai didn't spoke a word to his mother and left the place. Though Sai's mother don't like Shree , but relaxed hearing from Sai that she could have a kid.



There came a light



Shree recovered completely and started to Chennai. She joined back to her work. She was in her probation period. She got great help from colleagues. As she was in the training period, She and her batch were called to the seminar room. Everybody was in the seminar room. A lady came and took the training . She didn't understand a single concept. Being a science student , It was so difficult to understand some banking concepts without accountancy and business background. Her mind became dark and fear came out because of lack of confidence in subjects. She felt like she was a stupid. She don't like the job. Even she concentrated in the training she couldn't hope up with that. When she was about to lose her hope, there came a light. That day , when everyone was assembled in the training room , a gentle man with full determination came inside the room and introduced himself as the new trainer. He said "I am Sridharan, your new trainer. You have no other option to bare with me".  Everyone including Shree introduced themselves to Sridharan. He was too talkative , but good at heart. On the first day of his training , Shree felt some bonding between them. Shree was so happy because , he taught the concepts well. Whenever Shree had doubt , Sridharan understood by her face and explained again. They became good friends. Sridharan liked Shree very much and pulled her into his team. Shree was so happy to work with Sridharan.  Swarna (The ex room mate of Akhila) also belonged to the same team. Sridharan supported her so much technically and personally. Shree started growing day by day.



Cool down!



That evening, In the hostel, Shree called Sai. Sai was eagerly awaiting her call. Sai said "Hello Shree , I am so sorry , that my mother asked such a question to you. I really felt miserable now. I again ask you million sorry on her behalf". Shree smiled and said "Sai . Cool down. I know you. Though , I was irritated of her question , I know you never leave me at any cost. Only one thing which makes me sad is that she is least worried about my health. Definitely , The relationship with her won't be much good if she continue the same in future. I am sorry to say this". Sai said "Hmm..I understand. I will try to talk to her". Shree smiled and said "You can try ... but we can't change people that easily ". Sai said "Okay, Are you not angry with me ?". Shree said "No , not at all, But please remember I will not be polite to this kind of questions all the time". Sai said "No worries , I' ll take care". Shree talked about his office and her new team.  Suddenly Shree heard a knock at the door. She hurried and hide the phone in her bag and opened the door. It was Akhila. Akhila got fresh up and said , This week , I m going to our town. Shree said "I have office in weekends , so I can't come with you". Akhila said "Fine , I will go alone and you just take care". Shree nodded. That weekend Shree decided to go to Sai's home.



You did all these ?



It was Saturday morning , Shree went to office and finished her work .She  went to the railway station. There she saw Sai , waiting for her. She happily held his hands and took a train. They walked home from the station and both reached his place. She said "I am so hungry, we should have got something to eat from restaurant". It was a descent home with a single bed room . Though , it is a little old house, Shree liked the home so much. There was a garden in front of the home. Sai said " You like the home ? The next home where  the house owner resides. Come on , I will introduce them to you". They both went to their home and Sai introduced Shree  to them and said that they were going to be married soon. The house owner congratulated them. They both bade bye to them and came to his home. Shree went to the kitchen to make something for them to eat. In the rack , she saw something been hided by news papers. She just took the news paper slowly and was shocked. She saw the whole south Indian meals. Rice , Sambhar , Rasam , Vegetable curry, ,Pappad ,Pickles , curd , and Payasam (dessert). She shouted "Sai , come here". He heard Shree and came to the kitchen. Shree said "You did all these?". Sai smiled and said "Yes. You are coming here for the first time. I need to give you a  treat. You have no other choice . You need to eat all". Shree smiled and smelled every yummy dish. They both started having their lunch. She exclaimed "Oh my god .. Very tasty, You are a great cook". Sai smiled and said "I am so happy that you liked it". After having lunch ,  they talked for an hour. Shree said "It is getting late , I am leaving to hostel". Sai dropped her in the hostel. Akhila called the hostel and confirmed that Shree reached the hostel.



The  Guest Friend 



The weekend got over. Akhila reached the hostel from the town. Akhila brought a guest to their room. When Akhila arrived, Shree was already left to office. Akhila said to the guest friend "I am also starting to office now. you take rest. Shree will come early in the evening. She is definitely going to be shocked and surprised by seeing you. I mean in a good way.  We will talk in the evening about jobs". The guest friend smiled and nodded. Akhila left her and started to office. The guest friend cleaned the room. Everything in the room sparkled. She arranged the closet and arranged the books. She even cleaned the toilets. Finally she soaked all the clothes of Shree and washed . She went to upstairs , dried everything, ironed and arranged them in the closet. She watched TV for sometime and prepared for interviews. When the clock stroke five , she remembered Akhila saying about the arrival of Shree. So , She ran down with the flask, filled with tea  and came to the room. Shree reached the hostel and tried to open the door with her key and was surprised that door was locked from inside. She thought Akhila would have come early from her office. Shree knocked the door. When the guest opened the door , Shree didn't expect her and both of them shouted in joy. They hugged each other. Shree shouted "Priya ! How come you are here ?". Priya said "That's a big story. My mom and dad met you parents. We were not financially too good now a days , so i decided to go for work. That time as sister Akhila was in Chennai . With no thought , she asked me to come with her". Shree smiled and said "I am so happy that you are here". 



What girl are you ?




Shree said "I saw the tea pot was empty , Can we go out and have some tea ?". Priya said "No, I have already taken some tea for you and me. Akhila sister said that she will be late and she only needs dinner". Shree smiled and said "Very good , come on , we'll have tea" and she saw the room neat and tidy. She opened the closet to take a night dress. She was surprised to see her clothes were ironed and neatly arranged. Shree said "Oh my god , Why did you do these ? ". She went to the toilet and it was sparkling. Shree took a deep breathe "You didn't leave even the toilet ? What girl are you? ". Priya smiled and said "What is your problem ? I am doing this for my lovable friend". Shree said "I am happy that you love me so much .  But , please beware that some one take advantage of your sweetness. I am so worried about that". Priya said "I am so happy when I think I am doing for this". Shree again hugged her tight and said "I'll take care my work. Don't stress yourself  please". Priya said "If I can do , I will definitely do all these at least till I get a job. Understood!!!!  and no body can stop me". Shree said "OH my god ... God  please give her

a job soon". Priya was with Shree and Akhila and searched job. The whole week , Shree and Priya shared a lot with each other.  But after a week , Priya's dad called her back to the town. Priya got a bank loan to continue her studies. So, she bade bye to Shree and Akhila and went to the town. Shree missed Priya very badly. 
Every Saturday, Shree and Sai met in the railway station and  sometimes Sai also took her to his home. Shree was so happy and she made friends with Sai's neighbors. Days went by ...




Will you ignore your parents?



One Saturday , Sai and Shree met each other in railway station. He said "Coming Thursday , Kalapana is getting married in Chennai. My father and my brother is coming from abroad. My mother and sister are also coming as well. They were leaving on Friday night.  I want you to come home this Friday to meet him. I want to introduce you to him". Shree said "Yes , sure. I will inform leave to office and I will come there. Akhila will think that I will be in office. Evening as usual I'll go to hostel before she comes". Sai nodded. It was friday morning , Shree pretended as if she was going to office , but she went to the railway station. She reached his home. Sai introduced her to his father and brother. Shree greeted them and Sai's mother as well. Sai's mother pretended to be happy. Sai's father liked Shree very much. He talked to Shree for hours. He asked "What if your parents don't accept? Will you come to us  ignoring them?". Shree said "I am sure that they would accept. If not ,  I won't come to your home ignoring them. I can't do that at any cost".  Sai's dad thought for while and smiled. Sai's mom said "What will my son do , if your parents didn't accept?". Shree said "I am confident that my parents will accept , but as you doubt that, you have always another choice that you can find another girl and make Sai get married. But I know that won't happen". Sai's father was little worried that Shree's parents won't accept their son as their son in law , but he had no choice to accept Sai's wish.  In the evening Sai dropped her in the hostel. She went to her room and saw the door was opened. She was shocked to see Akhila sitting in the room. Shree felt something was wrong and she was furious. Shree pretended that she was casual. She asked "You came early from office today ?". Akhila starred and asked "Where do you went ?". Shree swallowed and said " To office". Akhila shouted "Do not lie to me. From the morning , I am searching you. I thought of getting a personal loan in your name and tried to contact you through Swarna. But Swarna said that you are on leave. Now tell me where you went?". Shree thought , it is no point in hiding anything. She said the truth. Akhila was furious "Do you know , how I am worried about you. From the morning , I am restless thinking where you have gone. I am not going to leave this". She took the phone and called her parents.

And now , I can hear you saying "What happened? Did Akhila informed her parents ? Did they punish Shree for that ? ". And I say "Be Patient till next Friday"
