Unfortunately, she had no choice and accepted the situation as her fate. “I accepted my fate with a quiet fortitude that goes through the hardest of times. I was never allowed to eat together with the family at the table,” she said while sharing the painful experience with her in-laws.
Well! on one cold winter evening, when all her in-laws and husband went somewhere out for a few hours. She was not expecting anyone but somebody suddenly knocked on her door. “I was surprised to see a scrawny little boy at the door. He looked extremely thin and wore tattered slippers, he was shivering from the bitter cold,” said the lady.
The street boy seemed so deprived to her so she allowed him to enter in and offered gave him a bowl of white rice. The lady further said that she could easily understand that the boy had not eaten anything for a long while and also he was suffering in winter.
After having dinner and her warmth treatment, the street boy asked her to adopt him for good. But because of her low status in the family, she couldn’t do so.

Seeing the present situation of the old lady, the boy asked her to come and stay with him and his wife. He got up and said“Come stay with me and my wife. You took me in when I nearly died in winter, I owe my life to you. Now I can finally return the favour and look after you.”
