Story: Realization of error

- My three friends gave us a party together. That day my faith in Arun's character was shaken.

That night I saw Arun's heartfelt look with Romeo. I started flirting openly with my friends, considering them as sisters-in-law. Nothing was too kind to Anju in particular.

All three of my girlfriends got married before me. The marriage of the three was not happy.

Nisha's husband did not break up with his girlfriend even after marriage. Because of this, there were fights between them day and night.

Seema's husband obeyed his parents. Seema feels neglected and humiliated. Crying a lot.

Anju's marriage reached the threshold of divorce within a year. She was no longer allowed to stay one day with her poor, violent, weak husband.

All three of them told me their thoughts freely. Learning a lot from her experience, I married Arun and set foot in Sasari.

It was because of these three that I began to get to know each other better.

I wanted our married life to be a role model for people. I also told this wish to Arun in the beautiful and longing atmosphere of honeymoon.

'I will always be devoted to you wholeheartedly. Let me know immediately if I have any complaints. We will not do anything that will hurt each other's love and trust. ' My eyes got wet when I told Arun about my Haiyan.

He immediately grabbed me in his arms. Kissed my forehead

Immediately after spending 1 month with Arun's love, I became jealous of him. Arun turned out to be lively as well as sensitive. I inquired all the time, but I did not find any information about his ex-girlfriend. He had nothing to do with alcohol, cigarettes, gambling. In-laws, Nand and Diar treated me very well. I also never abused her in any way.

My three friends gave us a party together. That day my faith in Arun's character was shaken.

Anju kept the dinner party separate from her husband and kept it in her pier. Seema and Nisha got involved with their husbands.

That night I saw Arun's heartfelt look with Romeo. I started flirting openly with my friends, considering them as sisters-in-law. Nothing was too kind to Anju in particular.

'Anju, a man who doesn't appreciate beautiful diamonds like you is a fool. Wow, it feels like kissing the hands that make such a delicious meal. I wish a good time for a lovely girl like you to come back soon. '

Hearing such majnu-like dialogues from Arun's mouth, my brain went crazy that night.

Anju was also obsessed with such juicy words of her own Jiju. Arun was the VIP guest for it. The hospitality of all the others was like a machine and as soon as I came in front of my Miyasaheb, it was like watching him issue.

As she was leaving, Anju took a deep breath and said to me in private, 'How happy you will be with Jiju. Just be careful that a tragedy like Nisha doesn't happen to you. '

"When Arun has no ex-girlfriend, there is no question of a tragedy like Nisha happening to me." I replied with a slight annoyance.

'Not old, but a new girlfriend can come into his life.'

"The question does not arise."

Once the seed of doubt is planted in one's mind, it is not possible to forget it. Despite being in love with Arun that night, I woke up feeling insatiable.

'Has Anju properly evaluated Arun's personality? Will someone break my faith for the sake of butterflies as soon as the opportunity arises? ' Such questions caused a great deal of confusion in my mind. I became a victim of some strange fear and anxiety.

After much thought, a plan was born in my mind to test Arun's love and trustworthiness.

I made a nice copy of Anju's voice and called Arun's office.

Understanding me Anju, Arun started talking in a very heartfelt manner. I kept on laughing and talking to her, suppressing the raging anger and resentment.

To discern him, I suddenly said to him, 'Jiju, I'm getting bored these days. Make it a point to go for a walk sometimes. '

"I'll take you wherever you say, sister-in-law."

'Let's go on a picnic?'

'There will be a nice program.'

'Or go see a movie?'

'Tell me, which movie do you want to watch?'

'Ask Shikha first, Jiju.'

'It won't.'

'Shikha didn't like your joke with me at the party held at my house that night. Didn't he go home and fight with you somewhere? '

'Not at all.'

"Jiju, tell me one thing, if Shikha refuses to take me for a walk, will our program of watching a movie, lunch or dinner be suspended forever?" I asked heavily.

'Why hang? Hey, you and I will go. By putting it. ' Arun's laughter was pouring poison in my ears.

"If Shikha finds out that you took me for a walk alone, he will take away your knowledge."

"Hey, even if he finds out, we'll be wrong to say that we met accidentally and then came to see the movie."

'You're going heavy, Jiju.' I laughed heartily.

If so, try to keep your sister-in-law happy. Ball, when should I take it? '

'I'll call and tell you.'

'Give me your phone number. I will ask every day. '

'Take the phone number from Shikha.'

"Why are you scared, sister-in-law?"

'Absolutely. Well, bye. Someone rang the doorbell from outside. ' I hung up before they could say anything more.

It will not be difficult for any wife to understand my mood after this conversation with Arun. The worm of suspicion in his mind about his weak character has now turned into reality.

"If I don't stay fresh, Arun will easily fall into another woman's trap at any time. I will never let him get along with any girl in the future. ' I tried to reduce my mental tension by rehearsing my decision over and over again.

I'm stubborn and obsessed. I thought a lot about the change I was going to make in my attitude towards Arun. Manoman started implementing the decision I took from the same day.

I insisted that Arun come straight home from the office. If he left me and went to a friend's house, my mouth would swell. When I hear about an incident, if he mentions the girls who work with him in the office, I pay close attention to their gestures. The antenna of my mind was always ready to capture his interest in any girl or girl from his dealings.

Her changed look also affected her dress. If they were ready to go somewhere as heroes, I would immediately criticize them and bring them down from the sky to the ground.

My mood would immediately deteriorate if they were seen joking around with a woman.

'Now you are not single, but married.' Even when I was looking for an opportunity, I would immediately get angry with him. 'Don't forget that my Aabrur is also attached to you. Don't make fun of me for dealing with women like that. '

Arun did not give up his habit of flirting despite my repeated persuasions and anger. This often led to conflicts between the two of us.

'Shikha, I am not going to find your mourning at home or at a party, I am going for my entertainment. Don't try to control my laughter. ' His warning did not affect me, because if I relaxed, he would have ruined our marriage because of his weak character.

Arun had not yet told me that Anju had talked to him on the phone one day. If they did not have thieves in their minds, they would not hide it from me. He was not a trustworthy man. That's why I was constantly on the lookout for them.

'Instead of arguing or quarreling with me, change your bad habits. Seeing another woman dripping saliva is not hidden from anyone's eyes. Stop playing with yourself and me like a wise man. ' In order to turn them in the right direction, I had to utter bitter and harsh words.

'Never before has a man or a woman pointed a finger at my character. You just fell behind me. ' Sometimes they would rain on me because I couldn't do my own thing.

Suddenly I had a fever. At the same time vomiting caused excessive weakness. For health and a few days rest I went to the pier.

Staying away from Arun increased my fear, restlessness and anxiety. In my absence they would not fall into the trap of a witch's love somewhere. Such thoughts blew my sleep and hunger.

One afternoon Anju came to see me. Seeing Arun's inclination towards her, I had kept in touch with her for the last two months.

In the middle of the conversation, I fixed my sharp gaze on his face and suddenly asked with a single stroke, 'What are you talking about on the phone with your Arun Jiju?'

'Jiju doesn't even call me.' Seeing his jokes made me think that he was lying.

"He told me many times that he kept talking to you on the phone." I resorted to lies to force it.

'That is not true. They only talk like that to annoy you. '

'If Anju, she has a habit of laughing and joking. Not just with you, but with many. You would not be the victim of any misunderstanding, otherwise your friendship would end forever. ' I even gave her a smirk with fake laughter.

After remaining silent for a while, he asked in anguished tone, 'Shikha, are you arguing with Jiju over me?'

'Not at all.'

"The look of anger in your eyes says something else."

'So now you get your eyes tested.' I spoke very irritably.

"Did you come to Pierre after quarreling with Arun?"

'No. Now you don't say anything more on this topic. '

Seeing me so angry, Anju really changed the subject. I also stuck to other things with her.

For the next 3 days, Anju called me every night and informed me about Arun's activities.

On the first day, she met Arun in the market. The next day he saw them coming out of the theater. On the third day we met again in the market. This time he also drank coffee in the restaurant.

Calling on the fourth day, Anju told me, 'Jiju just got a call. He wants to eat my handiwork. He will come to see you after lunch. If you want, come here and have lunch with us. '

"If you don't mind my presence, I'll come." My blood boiled over the sarcasm.

'Hey, come without being annoyed. If I quarrel with my sister-in-law, I will get sick. ' The way she laughed before we parted made me feel bad.

Burning with jealousy and anger, I reached Anju's house. Although I met Arun many days later, I did not meet him freely.

They both deal with their confidence as they choose to embark on their play activities. Even so, Arun was flirting with Anju and seeing his heartbreaking behavior, my blood kept boiling.

"Why are you so upset?" As soon as Arun asked such a question, the volcano erupting inside me erupted.

"Are you here to fight or to have lunch?" Wrinkles appeared on his forehead.

'Enjoy lunch. I have been called here helpless. '

"Nothing like that, Shikha," Anju said casually.

'Exactly the same thing, Sakhi.' I was even more furious, 'You even gave me the information to meet him outside the house on the phone because you escaped my wrath. My husband is hiding everything from me about meeting you. '

Shikha, Anju had a party in our honor after the wedding. I got it today after that night. ' Arun came in front of me and told me.

"Don't get me wrong, Anju and I had coffee together at a restaurant yesterday evening."

"Everything Anju told you on the phone was a lie."

'Why does he lie to me?' I asked irritably.

"Why don't you just ask that question?"

I cast a questioning glance at Anju. She came to me laughing and sat down. Holding my hand, he said very instinctively, 'After meeting you 3 days ago, I felt that you doubted Jiju about me. Seeing your behavior, it was not difficult to guess that you were going to the pier annoyed with Jiju. ' She was very worried about our marriage. It also came out in the conversation that this was not the Anju with whom I had a naughty talk on the phone a few weeks ago. '

'That was me.' I boldly accepted, 'and that day I recognized the weakness of your character. I now understand very well that any clever Anju can easily touch you on her fingers. I don't trust you anymore. '

"While the truth is that Anju's behavior seemed to be wrong that day, I never contacted her again. Didn't express a desire to meet him with you. If my character was bad, wouldn't I continue this cycle? ' Arun got angry.

"I have been giving false information on the phone for the last two-three days that I met him here," Jiju said. I have called you for lunch just by telling him. Jiju wants to clear up all your misunderstandings today. ' Anju's eyes lit up with pleasure.

"I don't understand anything." I said angrily to Arun, 'Why did you give me wrong information through Anju.'

"First of all, why did you call me Anju?" Arun approached me and sat down.

'To discern your character.' I was right.

"Did you lose faith in me after that conversation?"

'Yes.'

'અને એ જ કારણસર તું મને કોઈ સ્ત્રી સાથે હસવા-બોલવા દેતી નથી? કોઈ આકર્ષક સ્ત્રીની પાસે ઊભેલો જોઈને કલેશ કરે છે? આપણી વચ્ચે સતત વધતા ઝઘડાનું કારણ તારા મનમાં ઊંડે સુધી મૂળિયાં જમાવી ચૂકેલી આ શંકા જ છે ને?' અરુણ એકદમ ઉત્તેજિત અને બેચેન બની ગયા.

'જો હું એમ ન કરું તો શું કરું? તમને બીજી સ્ત્રી સાથે ફ્લર્ટ કરવાની છૂટ આપવી એ પોતાના જ લગ્નજીવનના વિનાશને આમંત્રણ હતું. અંજુ સાથે થયેલી વાતોને મારાથી છુપાવીને તમે મારા વિશ્વાસનો ભંગ કર્યો.' ભાવાવેશને કારણે મારો અવાજ ધૂ્રજી ઊઠયો.

મારા કશું જ ન બોલવાથી એમણે મારો હાથ પકડયો અને કોમળતાથી કહ્યું, 'અંજુએ તને જૂઠું કહ્યું કે એ મને છેલ્લા ૩ દિવસથી મળી છે. જો એણે ન કહ્યું હોત તો તને કઈ રીતે ખબર પડત કે અમે બંને મળ્યાં હતાં?'

'એણે ન કહ્યું હોત તો મોડુંવહેલું કોઈ બીજાએ કહ્યું હોત.' મેં મોં મચકોડીને જવાબ આપ્યો.

'જો હું ખરેખર ચારિત્ર્યહીન હોત, તો તું શું અંકુશ મૂકીને મને કોઈ અંજુ સાથે મળતાં અટકાવી શકી હોત?'

'જો અટકાવી ન શકું તો હું છૂટાછેડા લઈ શકું છું. આત્મહત્યા કરી શકું છું.' મારી આંખોમાં આંસુ છલકાઈ આવ્યાં.

'સંબંધ તોડી નાખવો કે પ્રાણ આપી દેવા એ આવી સમસ્યાઓનો ઉકેલ નથી, શિખા.' હવે અંજુએ મને સમજાવવાનું ચાલુ કર્યું, 'જો, પરિણીત પુરુષોને આપણે ૩ શ્રેણીઓમાં રાખી શકીએ છીએ. ચારિત્ર્યહીન, ચારિત્ર્યવાન અને એવા પતિ જે આમ તો ચારિત્ર્યવાન હોય પણ પોતાની પત્નીથી દૂર હોય તો અન્ય સ્ત્રીની મોહજાળમાં ફસાઈ શકે છે.'

'ચારિત્ર્યહીનને કોઈ મોટો આંચકો કે ગંભીર નુકસાન જ સુધારે છે. ચારિત્ર્યવાન પર શંકા કરવાનું કામ કોઈ અતિ મૂરખ પત્ની જ કરે.''જે ત્રીજી શ્રેણીના પતિ છે, એમની સાથે લડી-ઝઘડીને પત્ની પોતાનું જ અહિત કરે છે. એને યોગ્ય માર્ગે વાળવા પ્યારના અંકુશની જરૃર છે, કલેશ અને ઝઘડા નહીં. તું જીજુને કઈ શ્રેણીમાં મૂકે છે, શિખા?'

મેં અરુણ તરફ જોયું, આંખોમાં ટેન્શનના ભાવ સાથે એ મારો જવાબ સાંભળવા ઉત્સુક હતા.મેં એમની ઈમેજ ન બગાડવાનો નિર્ણય એ જ ક્ષણે કર્યો. અંજુએ મને સમજાવ્યું એનાથી મને મારી ભૂલનો અહેસાસ પણ થયો. જૂની ગેરસમજોને એ જ ક્ષણે દફનાવી દેવાની તક હું ગુમાવવા ઇચ્છતી ન હતી.

'ભવિષ્યમાં હું ક્યારેય તમારા ચારિત્ર્ય પર શંકા નહીં કરું. મેં જે ભૂલ કરી છે, એને માટે મને માફ કરી દો.' મનથી માફી માગતાં મારું ગળું રૃંધાઈ ગય્.

'ભવિષ્યમાં હું પણ તારી ભાવનાઓનો વધુ ખ્યાલ રાખીશ.' એમણે મને છાતીસરસી ચાંપી, ત્યારે મારી આંખોમાંથી ખુશીનાં આંસુ નીકળ્યાં અને મન શાંત થવા લાગ્યું.
