There was a date. The husband came home tired in the evening with his salary. The wife was waiting for him to arrive. As soon as he came, she gave him hot tea and asked:

“Did you get your salary today?”

The husband said with a smile:

“Yes, and this month I also got a ₹12,000 overtime bonus.”

The wife’s happiness knew no bounds. She said in a sweet voice:

“Can we go shopping this Sunday?”

The husband said:

“Okay, but only on one condition. If you talk to my mother on the phone at least once a week and ask about her well-being.”

The wife agreed in a subdued voice with a “yes.” The husband just wanted the rift between his mother and wife to end.

Exactly 2 minutes later, the mother called the husband’s mobile. From the other end, the mother said:

“How are you, son?”

The son said:

“Mom, I’m fine. How is everyone?”

The wife was making faces and thinking to herself:

“Today is the first of the month, salary has come, so she wants to call and ask for money. But this time I won’t let him give even one rupee.”

The mother said:

“Son, I need a little help.”

The son said:

“Tell me, Mom, what happened?”

The mother said:

“Son, can I get ₹5,000 this month?”

The husband did everything after consulting his wife. He asked his wife about this. The wife said:

“Tell her the salary hasn’t come yet.”

The son told his mother:

“Mom, it will take time for the salary to come.”

The mother said:

“Son, please send it somehow. I need it for treatment in the hospital.”

The husband repeated this to his wife. The wife said:

“Tell Mom to get treatment at a government hospital.”

The husband gave his mother the same advice.

The mother said:

“Son, government hospitals don’t provide proper treatment and they don’t take care either. This time…”

The wife got angry and told her husband:

“Tell her we already have so much burden on our heads and now we can’t bear any more. So get treatment at a government hospital only.”

The wife’s words became harsh. She said:

“Anyway, she’s a guest for only four-five days.”

This time the husband said:

“Don’t talk like that about Mom.”

The husband got a little angry, but calming his mind, he told his mother:

“Mom, it won’t be possible this month. So please get treatment at a government hospital.”

The mother started begging from the other end:

“Son, please give at least ₹2,000.”

The husband, with tears in his eyes, said to his wife:

“At least let me give ₹2,000.”

The wife was angry but somehow agreed and said:

“Okay, tell her we’ll send ₹2,000 tomorrow.”

So the husband said:

“Mother-in-law, I’ll send you ₹2,000 tomorrow.”

Hearing “mother-in-law” instead of “Mom” from her husband’s mouth, the wife started feeling dizzy. Her tongue stumbled, she broke into a sweat, and asked her husband:

“Was this my mother’s call?”

The husband said:

“Yes, it’s your mother’s call. I consider your mother as my own mother too. But you never considered my mother as your own.”

This time the wife cried loudly and started apologizing on the phone:

“Forgive me, Mom, I’ve made a terrible mistake.”

The mother said from the other end:

“Daughter, if you had only hurt one mother’s heart, I would have forgiven you. But today you have hurt not one but two mothers’ hearts.

Even if I forgive you today, the one above will not forgive you.”

**Message:**

So friends, it is believed that if even God came to repay a mother’s debt, he too would become bankrupt.

A mother goes into the jaws of death herself to give birth to life. Respect that mother.

A mother is a mother – don’t make her cry while she’s alive, before she dies.
