The Right Girl was actually the “Right Girl” - Fiction

Raghvan hardly talked to his Parents and would call once a week to know how they were. It was the time when his marriage was being arranged. The number of calls per week has started to increase as the day of his wedding was approaching. Parents were happy and believed it is the marriage which is doing all the good.

Raghvan’s parents were very excited for the event as it was their first son’s wedding and were very hopeful that the new member who will be joining them soon will be very understanding, good-natured and will possess all the other characteristics which are wished for in a bride. They were really happy. The arrangements took no time and the wedding day arrived.

…..................................After few weeks of Marriage...............................…...

Now, Raghvan would hardly call his parents for weeks. This made them look into the matter as it was all destined to happen and that the “new girl” who was married to bring happiness for them was responsible for all this. It was she who was moulding their son’s mind and was planning things against the family. They thought even if their son was busy the bride should call atleast once a day. All these developments made them question their own selection of ‘the right girl’.

…..................................After 3 months of Marriage......................................

“Why aren't you calling Uncle and Aunty?” Neema asked. She was feeling bad for Raghvan had stopped talking to his parents completely. He would call them once in a month and whenever they would call he avoided them by claiming that he his busy and had no time to talk.

Neema thought it was wrong and the parents deserved a lot better. She gathered all her courage and started calling them daily against the will of her husband. It was Raghvan who had warned Neema from talking to them. She felt disgusted about this idea of her husband and without caring much she talked to her ‘new’ and loving parents daily.

The parents gradually learned that it was their son who did not want to talk to them. He was the one to be blamed and not Neema. Things were bad but they were happy that the right girl was actually the “right girl”.

My point:-

A man behaving differently after getting married is thought to be the after effects of a girl entering his life. If he stops calling his Parents as he used to then it’s assumed that it must be the lady who is making all this happen; it must be she who is responsible for all the wrong things that have suddenly started to take place in their family. It’s the lady to be blamed without even using an ability which God has gifted to every human being on this earth with the help of which one can know what is right and wrong, the human brain.

Many of us are preoccupied and prejudiced that it’s always the girl who should be blamed at and after marriage if anything goes wrong then it’s the lady who should be blamed. If we learn to accept our own mistakes we will be able to justify what is right and what is wrong, who is correct and who  is not.

There is every possibility that because of the stereotypes the wrongs can take advantage and make our lives no less than hell. We must learn to be aware of and prevent ourselves from accepting truths which are false. (\m/)
