When she was back, she found her mom chatting with her husband.
A knot formed in her stomach. Her mother, Sia, was always there to guide her in life.
-----------------------------------------
On the day of engagement, Reeya unfolded a huge drama. Both her parents were not happy with her behaviour. They scolded her.
She cried out, "The man is not goal oriented and career-driven like me. He is not the kind of man I admire."
That time Sia Rai explained to her, "You should be grateful. There isn't room for two big egos in one household."
At that moment, she never understood the meaning behind her mom's words. Now she did!
Men have infamously tender egos. Because her man was humble, she bore gratitude.
Like a fool, he was selflessly complying to her every demand. Even a divorce...
Her family was against her divorce. Nobody in the family had ever uttered the word.
Divorce was a failure. Divorce was the destruction of a household.
