What am I??

-
She was sitting in her lawn, sipping her coffee and trying to forget her last night fight. The fragrance of coffee took her back to the days when she was in college. She fondly remembered the bubbly and fun-loving girl inside her , who used to be the favourite of her teachers, friends n most importantly, her parents. 

Her parents were elated with joy to see their daughter in black robe on the convocation day..and finally felt proud in being the parents of a lawyer daughter. They had an electric atmosphere when it was her first day to her office. The sense of achievement she saw in her parents eyes was most satisfying. After few months, when she decided to go for higher studies in corporate law, every body accepted it gracefully. But her mother had a point of doubt , which she discussed openly in her family.

She was looking beyond the professional life..the personal life of her daughter. She said what Mrs. Bhatnagar had said her the last evening. She din’t want to force her desires into her daughter but advised her to give it a thought. It was only after her daughter ‘s consent that she asked Mrs Bhatnagar to go ahead with the wedding proposal she was talking the last day.

A formal meeting of the two people in question was arranged and then, after few discussions, both agreed to get married. The ambitions, expectations and future plan were discussed well in advance by both and based on that the compatibility was thought to be matched.

Finally, they got married and moved to their new house. In the beginning, it was all good. Time flies like anything. The evenings were spent in arms of each other and the weekends with the families and all seemed like the dreams come true. It was amid this the news of her pregnancy broke and everyone was on cloud nine. Finally, the baby  girl arrived and the whole world changed for the much better.  

Now, the maternity leave was ending and she was to back to work . But the love of the Lil baby, the anxiety and worries were taking her back. She felt so helpless to put herself together and return to her job. She was not happy with the best available maid she hired. And she decided to prolong her stay with the baby and quit her job.

This hard decision led her to her present condition... the story continues in the next part.

She was sitting in her bridal attire in her new room. The tiring rituals of wedding were over and most of the relatives of her new family were gone. Only Akash, his parents and his sister , who had been married for two years was left.  The anxiety of entering the new world and relations was increasing with each passing second. The storm of thoughts into her mind was making her more uneasy..but at the same time she was happy to be with the love of her life..Akash. Amidst all this, she couldn’t make out when did she fall asleep and it had been lunch time. Akash had well-informed her that the lunch is served at 2 in the noon and everyone has to be there on the dining table by then.  She was at loss now...continuously thinking about the reaction of her elders specially her mother-in-law.
