I was asked to wait in the reception for a few hours for my friend’s operation in a hospital. I met a gentleman whose wife and daughter met with an accident and they were in ICU.

It just started, I made myself, just listen to him because he wanted to let out some of his memories. He said his daughter came for the vacation from abroad. He told me she is no more the same girl when she left him. He told how her daughter became so responsible towards her family,  where she got that character of responsibility. She checks her husband and daughter every few hours. How women are getting changed once they get married. She was no more the same person. He was looking at her as a spectator as if a new woman was born after marriage. The gap is indigestible and her whole character is more like a representative of nature. He was searching for his daughter in her. His daughter was more like his mother in taking care and she did not depend on him but as if it looks vice versa. He said I saw my mother in her. She was so strict in maintaining my diets from the day she arrived. 

He moved on to his wife, his wife was very strict and her voice was always very rude. But when he first visited his in-law’s place where he understood that his wife was commanding her father and the same behaviour was continuing with him. He said, He understood she was not exercising rudely but she loved him equal to her dad by not changing an inch of her behaviour. There is always a fight for everything and he never said sorry to her and after 30 years of marriage, she told him, she lived a best life because he never attempted to pamper her, it was so boring her father did to the extent of hating his habit of pampering of because how his dad got into debts by overspending for her. 
And I never communicated the day proceeding to my wife but she told me to write in her diary the truth, hence she will never find any guilt while reading. Sometimes she wrote her suggestion for my problem.

There is a great woman in my life, my mother. My mom was taken care of by my wife and daughter. My daughter was so affectionate to my mother. She knows by getting close to her grandmother is one way of getting into my heart as favorite. My wife buys for her mother-in-law, whenever she goes shopping. Hence there is no disparity in maintaining her mother in law. 
Then he slipped into tears,
His wife often says, “Our everyday fight helps you to forget me soon after I die”. I don’t know whether it will happen or not ……. An emergency call from his doctor.

I never attempted to reach and to know whether his wife and daughter survived. But I wished they would come out of the accident and see this man die peacefully in future.
