Of Relatives and Relationships

Tweet

My better half got free of her school duties last Friday. She expressed her eagerness to spend some days with her relatives in south of Kolkata. She has two elder sisters and a younger brother.They have their own children. Though I don't want easily to leave my orphan children, but as they themselves are getting summer holidays I agreed to go with her as she needed a little change and our daughter who has come down from her medical college after the convocation. The doctor child also was in great need of a little outing after her hectic internship months. It was a happy reunion of four siblings and their children. I too had some joyful hours with them and greatly needed rest from my stressful work. One happy twist of interaction led to opening of a door that I had left in disappointment. Three years ago I had tried to help a niece get married. Considering her age in my opinion it was getting late. A hitch popped up and the marriage could not proceed. This time, the niece's mother took a bold step. Hopefully the marriage may reach its logical conclusion.this time.
