A Mother’s Expectations
Zohra was a traditional woman, her values deeply rooted in family and tradition. She had always dreamt of seeing her children settled, married, and happy. Her daughters were happily married, and now it was Rameel’s turn. However, Rameel, engrossed in his work, seemed to have forgotten about marriage.
Concerns and Criticism
Zohra’s anxiety grew with each passing day. People in the neighborhood started to whisper, questioning her parenting and wondering why her son remained unmarried. The whispers turned into criticisms, with some even accusing her of being a negligent mother. These accusations weighed heavily on Zohra’s heart, making her feel inadequate and ashamed.

Rameel, unaware of his mother’s distress, was busy building his career. He justified his decision to delay marriage, citing the demands of his job and the need to secure a stable future for himself and his future family. He believed that he was doing the right thing, but he failed to understand the emotional toll it was taking on his mother.
A Mother’s Plea
One evening, Rameel returned home for a short visit. Zohra, her heart overflowing with joy, poured out her concerns. She expressed her fears, her anxieties, and her longing for him to settle down. She pleaded with him to consider marriage, to find a suitable girl and start a family of his own.
Rameel’s Reassurance
Rameel, touched by his mother’s emotions, tried to reassure her. He explained his career goals and promised to find a suitable wife soon. He reassured her that he would never let her down and that he would always be there for her.
A Mother’s Hope
Zohra, although not entirely convinced, felt a sense of relief. She knew her son loved her and would eventually fulfill her wishes. She prayed for his happiness and for the day when she would welcome a daughter-in-law into their home.
Awaiting Spring
As the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months, Zohra’s hope began to dwindle. She missed Rameel dearly, and the thought of him being alone in a distant land filled her with worry. She longed for the spring to arrive, bringing with it the promise of new beginnings and the hope that her son would finally return home and find his happiness.
