She crossed all the limits

Okay we are back to Delhi and started living together. Everyone in my house looks busy whole day looking after the baby girl and my wife and I hate this because there is some ritual that I can't see my baby girl until she we arrange a "Puja".

As we came to know the Puja can be done properly back in Jharkhand only my parents finally allowed me to see my baby girl. Oh my goodness I felt like I met a lively Goddess!

Days were going in full bloom and life was back to normal again. Good things started on business front as well because I wanted to shut off the office and sit back at home to do some freelancing work along with my brother by my all staff pretested and they requested me to open the office again. I had to give it to their request and we all started the office again taking computers on rent (one of the girls in our staff arranged for this). As I could see the efforts all staff members had brought to open up the office again I decided to promote one of them to take the charge of office and I decided to operate from my residence. Things worked and everything was going fine. I was enjoying my work-at-home environment.

Suddenly one day I noticed my younger weeping in front of my mother. I asked her what was the issue and after asking repetitively she opened what all my wife has been doing with my sister. She was using my sister for every household work like a maid putting aside her studies. My wife was even threatening her to stop allowing food if she brought up this matter to anyone. We all were so shocked again. I called my wife and asked what was the problem and why was she behaving like this with my little sister. She blown up suddenly and took on my mother's hair and started shouting that everyone should quit the house immediately. I objected and took her in my room.

There was pin drop silence in the house. No one except my wife would eat and no one would talk to each other. I could even see my father weeping sometimes. Later my wife apologized to my parents and promised that she was in anger after talking to her mother and that her mother misguided her. We all asked if there is any problem she could tell us and we would work together to iron out the issue. She looked ashamed and said it's just alright and that she doesn't want to talk to her mother from now on...

We decided to live together

Four months since my father-in-law took my wife away from me and no word from them. When I tried to call on a couple of occassions they put down the phone without talking.

I was going through deep humilation as I was ashamed of this incident among my friends and coworkers, it started affecting my performance. My parents could not see me in this condition and we all decided to live together in Delhi. My started looking for a suitable place where he could start his business that he used to run (a PCO/Photostate shop) back in Jharkhand.

One morning we got the bad news that there has a robbery in our office and my all computers were stolen. I was shocked again as I had just lost my business as well while my father was still looking to setup back his business here. We lodged FIR but police is not able to do anything in this case and my business went down.

Then came the good news that my wife has given birth to baby girl. We got a reason cheer and bring our momentum back. We all got happy and my mother asked me to go and bring my wife washing off all the anger from my mind I had due to that incident. I was not convinced if I should go and bring her as she even does not bother to talk to me yet.

Finally my mother ordered me that I must do it as she can't wait to see the baby girl and I went there to bring my wife back. I thought she must have forgotten all the dirt she was blowing when she left but no she accused my elder sister and her husband who arranged our marrige for spoiling her life. I brough this matter in front of entire family there and they all looked helpless and ashamed of her behaviour. Her uncle and some of her other relatives promised me that they have been guiding her that she should not continue her agressive behaviour and that she would behave well from now on.

I was not convinced as I could clearly see her attitude had gone more agressive but they all made her come back with me and I finally thought may be she will change a bit as she has beome a mother. She would show some maturity from now on...
