superstions...

This is a small narration of reality in life...this is about a lady who works as a servant maid...
She dint do schooling.Now she should be in her early 50's..good looking,sleek body and very sincere when it comes to work.She travels distances to earn and meet with the expectations of her livelyhood.So self esteemed that she dosent want to depend upon her son for money matters as she feels she would be depriving the luxuries of her daughter- in- law .
She got married when she was 16yrs.Because of lack of education..she sounds very innocent.When she got married some local jyotish(fortune teller) told her that if she delivers a baby she would die.But one fine morning she came to know that she is going to be a mother.From that day her fear for life doubled.Months passed on so fast that the day of delivery came very near...that too when she was out of her hometown to visit her sister in law who was expecting a baby in couple of days...but who knows that this lady would deliver so soon..a prematured one.There was nobody to help her and her husband got an old lady(almost blind) to help in delivering.The place they visited was a god forsaken place where there were no trained nurses...and her relatives went to the hospitals where the other lady was admitted.
When the baby was born,the old lady who helped in delivery told that she cant see properly and hence asked this maid to cut the cord of her baby...she being a kid herself has cut the cord without leavin space for a kmot...the baby died within hours due to ignorance of bothe the females...the output is death of an infant.
Days passed..she grew upto 18yrs..a little matured with more superstions dissolved in her blood...she was pregnant once again for the second time....but the fear of dying also doubled...this time the impact was so harsh on her mind that she physically beacme weak and ill.She has borne a baby boy for second time too...but the boy had to die of starvinfg after 9 days as she herself was weak and sick with the words of tantrik echoing in her life....
Some more years passed and she gave birth to another boy...but the tragedy was her husband became mad and ran away from home.The boy was brought up by her mother in law and herself.With lot of struggling she brought him up,educated him till tenth and now he works in a multiplex theater as security in parking lot .
She was rejected by all her relatives as they were afraid of she being a burden to them if they show sympathy to her...she dint give up in life.Now she is better off that others...now all her relatives want her...but she never depended on any of them for help.
She is living happily with her son and daughter in law.But there are many issues related to her which i may narrate soon....
