Gayatri's Promise: A Mother's Journey from Queen to Forgotten

 Gayatri's Promise: A Mother's Journey from Queen to Forgotten

Gayatri and Ramkishan live in the city away from their family. They have four children. Ramkishan is a hardworking and gentle person; he is also financially prosperous. Ramkishan loves Gayatri a lot. He takes great care of Gayatri. He does not let her miss anything. Gayatri and Ramkishan are very happy with their family life. He gives Gayatri all the comforts of a home, which was not possible in earlier times. He treats her like a queen even in those times. Whereas in those times, most people did not consider women to be more than a maid. No matter how tired Ramkishan is from his work, he definitely spends time with his children. One day, Ramkishan became very happy. He takes care of Gayatri even more than before. He also keeps a maid to work for her at home. Even the women of the neighborhood used to leave after seeing Gayatri say this. Gayatri also considers herself lucky that she has got a life partner like Ramkishan, who takes so much care of her and the children. He prepares the children for school and drops them off at school. One day, Ram Kishan thinks of going home in the afternoon, but he always goes home at night. That day, when he starts coming home in the afternoon, something bites his leg on the way, but he does not know what it is. He goes home. He does not feel well, so he brings medicine from the doctor. But after 2 days, Ram Kishan's condition worsens. The doctor tells him that a poisonous creature has bitten you. Its poison has spread in your body. When the medicine does not have any effect on Ram Kishan, he calls his brother to take care of his work, because he cannot leave his job for long. Ram Kishan tells his brother to take care of Gayatri's children. Ram Kishan's condition worsens day by day, and one day Ram Kishan dies. Ram Kishan's brother takes Gayatri and the children with him after performing the necessary rituals, and at that time, Gayatri was seven months pregnant. Gayatri's life seemed to have ended; she kept sitting in one place. She did not even take care of her food and drink. Ramkishan's family members thought that something might happen to her, so they sent her to her father's house. Seeing Gayatri in such a state of near death, her parents were very sad. Gayatri's father made Gayatri understand that Gayatri is going to leave, we cannot go with him, so I have to take care of myself and my unborn child. Ramkishan would be very sad to see you in this condition. Don't hurt his soul; you have to take care of your child, too. Hearing this, Gayatri understood the reason to live. Gayatri takes her children and goes to her home with her father. There, she finds out that shortly after Ramkishan's death, Ramkishan's brother sells his shop. Hearing this, Gayatri feels very sad. Gayatri goes to her in-laws' house with her father. When Gayatri asks about their shop, they say, Who will go there and take care of the shop now Now the responsibility of you and your children is ours, so you will also have to stay there. You will get the things you need, but Gayatri refuses. She asks for the money for the shop, but they refuse to give the money. Gayatri says you people are not saying the right thing, my children have the right to that money, it is their father's property, you have to give that money, but they do not listen to Gayatri and push her out of the house. Gayatri comes to her father's house. When Gayatri goes back to her house after a few months, Ramkishan's brother is already there. He asks Gayatri to sell the house, but Gayatri refuses. Ramkishan's brother tries to take over their house, but Gayatri understands that if she does not stop him, he will leave nothing for her. Where will she keep her children? That is why Gayatri leaves the limits of relationships and stands up for the rights of her children, and throws them out of the house. Now, Gayatri was faced with the difficult challenge of running the house. What should she do now? How should she raise her children? Gayatri, who did not even work in her own house, once lived like a queen. Today, after Ramkishan left, her condition became like that of a servant. She had nothing except the house. She works harder. She works in the fields, in the houses. She does whatever work she gets so that her children can get educated. She makes herself work hard, and with her hard work, her children get educated and get jobs. Now, Gayatri's nature was not the same as before; she had become harsh. Due to her harsh nature, her son and daughter-in-law did not want to keep them with them.Her three sons and daughter-in-law live separately. They give her the things she needs and money, but they do not take care of her. They do not keep her with them. They leave her alone in the old room. As time passes, Gayatri's old age and illness increase, but still no one is ready to keep her with them. They say we will keep someone to take care of her. Her daughter says, You people should keep mother with you. If something happens, then we will not even know what happened, her elder son says, Why should I keep her? These three can also keep her. Her sons start fighting among themselves to stop Gayatri. Immediately, the second one says you keep him, and in childhood, they used to say that I will not stay with my mother, the second one. I will stay, then they used to fight like this, time and need did not change everything. Gayatri has one son; they keep mother in turns. This way, the burden of the mother will not fall on one person, and the mother will also be taken care of. All three brothers agree on this. Gayatri thinks that I educated them with so much difficulty and hard work, and when they grew up, they forgot me. I became a burden for them. I raised four children alone, and they are not able to take care of me alone. They are financially capable, too. If their father were alive today, then I would not have been in this condition. I would not have been a burden on anyone who used to live like a queen during her father's time; she struggled a lot to make these children capable and raise them, and today they are happy in their household. They do not care how they got all this. Gayatri was very sad to see her children behaving like this towards her and could not recover from this pain. After a few months, she died.
