The Gift
A mother was so busy, it was her daughter's wedding. After all the rush, the function settled down. The busy mother took a quick 5 minute break with her daughter. The mother wanted to gift her daughter something. It was a passbook of a bank and the mother said “whenever I was happy for you, I deposited a small amount of money with an entry of what made me happy, I wish you both should do the same.”
The daughter was really touched with her mother's thought. The young wife shared her mother's gift with her husband. The husband was so happy to know of his mother-in-laws wedding gift. The newly wedded couple were eager to make their first deposit; their first moment of joy together.
Within months first dinner, promotion, salary hike eventually they were celebrating many moments of happiness. In no time around their first wedding anniversary, the wife broke the news of being on the family way, their first baby was born and their story went on interestingly. After a few years things weren't the same. The couple were not happy with each other, they didnt want to talk to each other or see one another. Finally they made up their mind to break their relationship; they wanted to dissolve their marriage.
The daughter went to her mother and shared her decision to get divorced from her husband. The mother didn't ask for any explanation. She asked her daughter to close the bank account. The one which was gifted to her on the occasion of her marriage. The daughter agreed and went to the bank to close the account and withdraw the money deposited. While waiting, she skimmed through the comments made along with each of the deposit, their happiness and all the good times they had shared together reeled in her mind. She couldn't close the account as she found it really hard. She went back to her husband and asked him to close the account. The husband went to the bank and faced the same situation. He returned home and handed her the passbook.
He hadn't closed the account instead, when the wife checked she found another huge amount deposited on the day with a comment that ‘Realization of a wrong decision. I was trying to leave the person i love the most, and i have decided to spend the rest of my life with the same person’.
Both of them cried and hugged each other once again with so much of love and faith.
All the relationships have ups and downs and staying together is a promise that we must keep.
