The Stepman

An overseas man, who had become an orphan at a very young age, was the only and eldest brother of six sisters. After the marriages of two of his sisters, he too got married, not because he needed a wife, but because his mother and sisters needed a maid to serve them.
And since no strong-willed girl would ever come under their control, they chose the eldest girl from a very poor and helpless family of eight daughters.
After the marriage, this so-called husband didn’t even spend thirty months with his wife over the span of thirty years. He never called her to join him abroad.
He would return once every two or three years for a month or so.
Even then, his wife would remain absorbed in her daily routine just like a purchased maid, as usual.
And he kept busy resolving the issues of his selfish sisters’ greedy husbands.
He stayed occupied fulfilling the responsibilities of their children,
So he never even had the time to think about the absence of children in his own life.
And thus, thirty years passed in these very circumstance
Then, having lost his youth and health, he returned permanently and one day, he passed away.
At his funeral, his mother was beating her chest, saying.
I wasn’t widowed forty years ago, I’ve become a widow today.
The sisters, who had drained the blood of both brother and his wife, were crying.
Today we’ve become orphans. Today, our father has passed away.
And as for his childless wife …. what difference did it make to her?
The so-called suhagun who hadn’t even spent thirty months with her Majazi Khuda, in thirty years.
So just don’t marry your daughter into a household that is higher than yours, especially where the husband is either the eldest son or the only son, and the sole breadwinner of the entire family.
Such a man is already a sacrificial goat himself, but later he involves his wife in this noble cause too. He ends up spending his entire youth trying to keep his blood relatives happy at the cost of his own family life.
And in the end everyone says, what have you even done for us?
