Silence of Sacrifice?

 Venu's mother was keen that he gets married at the earliest but he was going on shelving it for reasons known to him. Finally his mother gave him an ultimatum and he had no other option but to say yes to her. The problem did not get solved here, because one of the condition which Venu put to his parents are that he would either marry a widow or a divorcee that too with a child remember not more than one ,it can be a boy or a girl!

 Now comes the head ache to them Without asking any reason they go ahead with the process of looking for girls . It was a great task for them to convince the parents, neighbours and friends about his decisio. People kept wondering and were all praise for his daring deed to seek a partner  of this type!

After all the bio data with photos came to his hands , he carefully went thro and picked up a girl , Preksha who is quite independent, working , has a brother, and parents well settled. Also as he wanted and expected has a two year old girl, she is a widow, her husband died in a road accident.

 Initially hos parents did not like his idea but fearing the repercussions of not agreeing to his wishes would mean he would leave them and go away.

Finally  they yielded  to his request, because he was born after fifteen years of their marriage and their only child.

 He arranged for a meeting with Preksha and told her  that he would be a good father to the child , Snigda. After three months of knowing her and meeting the child often  he went ahead with the simple marriage.

How is that they could not share their son's worries, where have they failed and why is that their doting son has not confided in them his fears and feelings? They kept asking these questions to themselves and still they can't come to terms with what he said.

'I can't blame anyone for the bike accident I met with five years ago, I have seen so many surgeons and there is no hope.'' 'So the best solution is to marry a girl with a child and give life.'  ' Both of you promise me that you will never ever reveal this to anyone. '' 'I will convince Preksha that I do not want another child and I will do Family planning operation may be in a month's time.''
