Anjana's narration :
" Delhi !?" 😮 my granny frowned.
"Yes, I have to work there " I said.
" I'm not very happy to send you, but.... Rajesh is also staying at Delhi. So there is someone who can take care of you " she said.
I completely forgot about rajesh, my brother in law ( Daddy's elder sisters son ) and my grandmother's big Grandson. I heard from my aunt that he shifted to delhi last year for IAS coaching. I knew him since my childhood but we are not in touch now a days.
"U dial his number and give me, I'll talk to him right now, " told my granny.
I dialed a number which I took from him long ago. That fellow didnot pick up my call. 😞
In the evening :
" I don't have time to convince you people. I must send the acceptance letter tommorow "I told my mother. My granny was sitting and silently listening to my words.
The moment my mom heard that I was offered a job with a pay of 40 k at DELHI, i could clearly see the diasppointment and worry in her eyes. She didn't agree to send me !
My happiness did not even last for few hours ! 😔
" I can't live in peace after sending you there. Wait for another job, where you can work at some other place. It's ok if you stay at home doing nothing " said my mom.
I know that im being paid a little but a beggar with a penny in his hand is in a better situation than a graduate with empty hands ! 👐
"It's not safe for girls and I won't send you !" my mom said loudly.
"Please Amma, I can't waste my time anymore. I know it's a new city and new environment, I can protect and take care of myself " I pleaded.
Our argument continued for 2 hrs and both of us are not ready to come to a common conclusion.
My brother who was sitting beside my grandma said," Ma ! 80% of engineers are roaming with empty hands. Small / big , here / some where else , be glad that sissy got some job. Why don't you send her !?" 👦
" Exactly my bro ! Please enlighten your mummy " I said impatiently. 😠
My mom was so disturbed on hearing my words and said " Arun ! You better stay out of this Ok ! Don't you know you have exam tomorrow ? Go and read" 😬
"And you. What do you mean 'YOUR ' mom ? Am I not your mom ? Am I not concerned about your future and well being ?" shouted my mom looking at me !
"I didn't mean what I said. It just came out.... " before i could speak she interrupted ,
" Do you even know what am I going through each and every day ? I work dead tired, to support this family, take care of your dad and make sure no body faces any problem ! And in the end this is what I get to hear...!" She cried out.
Tears started flowing from my eyes. I didn't know that she would take my words seriously.
My grandmother stood up went near my mom, " Dhanalakshmi , stop crying I understand your point of view. But we should also consider her carrer and respect her choice " told my granny clearing my moms tears.
" Please You don't try to convince me now !" replied my mom.
" Ma ! I don't want you to suffer like this anymore. I want to share your burden and responsibility. I'm not selfish " I told her and left.
My granny followed me, she stood before me and asked " Anjana ! Tell me seriously are you willing to take up this job ? Staying far away from all of us in a city like Delhi is not a small thing. If you are confident enough, I'll convince your mom "
I tried to portray in front of them that I'm a daring and dashing girl who can manage everything. But if I think once again, somewhere I'm biased. Not only my mom , but most of the parents are scared to send their daughters to Delhi. Am I putting my safety at risk ? Of course yes !!😨
" I don't want to loose this opportunity granny " I answered her.
Meanwhile , my dad was in his room ! But he was aware of the ongoing arguments. I don't want to tell him and take stress regarding this matter , so remained silent.
Decision time :
It was Monday and the last day to submit my acceptance letter. I typed the letter and kept it aside, but not sure whether to send it / not.
In the morning after my granny finished her daily puja I went to her and reminded ," yesterday u gave me your word, that you will convince mummy "
"Hmm....ur mom is not ready to listen now. I could have asked Rajesh to talk to her and convince that you are not alone there ! but that fellow didn't call back. I'll try my level best " she sighed .
I can't join the job without, my mom's permission. And my granny is the only hope I have now ! ✊
" All the best granny. U have a long day to go ! " I winked at her. 😜
