Chukamuk 😊

Sanj Katha told by my grandmother who crossed ninety... Saru's name was famous as the long-suffering daughter-in-law of Khashta Sasu. A smiling face, long straight hair, blue eyes and a swarthy forehead like the rising sun. This free-spirited seventeen-year-old boy who had come to Maharashtra from Gujarat was in the hearts of everyone in the palace, but she could not cross the threshold of Mirabai's mind as a boy's choice. Madhav was in Jamnagar for military training. Sukhdev uncle is a Brahmin and a washerman was in business, his niece used to help his uncle. Her mind also became clear as she removed the soil from her clothes. When the iron straightened the wrinkles on the clothes, her heart became silky, smooth and soft like a thread. There are no knots or wrinkles anywhere. Such was the state of Saru's heart. She came from the sun. Her face was lit up by a rush of hot spots. The clothes on her sweaty body were clinging to her body. Therefore, Apadmastaka seemed like carving the structure of her body. While taking the bundle of cloth from Saru's hand, Madhav pinched the moisture of her sweat. Saru entered Madhav's mind with an intoxicating scent. And his mind hummed "Such a daughter-in-law should be my mother." Meerabai softened before Madhav's insistence. Madhav Saru got married and within a few days his uncle died and Saru's marriage ended. Mirabai started to feel sad about Saru. Saru's kingdom was sealed during Madhava's leave. Madhav became a father and Madhav's Madhu was now six years old. After doing all the household chores, Saroo also now P. T. C. f Passed the exam with good marks. Madhav was on the border during the Kargil war. Saru and Madhu were enthralled by the news of his bravery. But Madhu used to get angry with her mother-in-law after seeing her mother-in-law. Sadu's mother Hirabai was sick with cancer. He had to come and go to Mirabai. Their friendship was deep. Meera and Hira were as tight as Khirapati. One morning dawned with the darkness of new moon. Government Lakhota had arrived. There were reports that Madhav was martyred on the border. The sun on Saru's forehead had set. There were white ash scratches on the forehead. Eventually, Mirabai became bedridden with paralysis due to paralysis. Saru got a job as a primary school teacher, Madhu was sent to a military school. All the schools, teaching and mother-in-law's patient care began to wear out. Now everyone started addressing Saru as 'Bai'. People used to ask Sarula Bai, how much do you serve your mother-in-law? Ah, how much she would trouble you, you wouldn't even say a 'br'. And the woman says 'Aho' that is 'mother'. I didn't have a mother. I grew up in my aunt's house and she was my husband's mother. Because of him, I got the creator who decorates the world's table in life. My mother did not reject me, she accepted me. That's his greatness, his friend Hirabai used to say, don't call her mother-in-law, Meerabai is like a coconut inside. Meerabai may call me Dwad but pampers me as her own friend? Today, it took time for Meerabai to take a bath and undress. She reached school a little late. She did not go to meet Hirabai on the way. She went to the headmaster's office and said, "Acharya! I am late for school today." Acharya said, "Ma'am! We know your punctuality. Take this and sign the muster." After signing, the lady went to her class and was about to start the class Hirabai's Sadu stood outside the classroom and started making signs to call them out.
