"Why're You shouting at Me like this"?
his Wife Said, She was at Verge of Crying.
"What Should I do then"?
he Shouted.
She didn't Say anything but Tears...
She was Crying Silently.
"I go for work daily.
I work like a Donkey without any
Complain.
You Stay at home daily.
it's Your responsibility to Teach
Our Language to Our Son.
Look! What did you do?
You've made him like an European.
He doesn't know Our Own Language.
he can Speak only "English"."
He Shouted While fuming in Anger.
Their Son was watching them silently
trying to figure out
"Why're they Arguing like this"?

"Mom! Don't Cry.
Tell Me, What happened?"
He went to her Mother & asked.
His Father Laughed in a Sarcastic Tone.
he ignored & looked at his Mother.
Her Mother explained a little.
he looked at his Father & said:

"Dad! Where are we living?
here, in Austrailia.
I was born here & am growing up here
not in your home country.
I go to School daily & spend my half of
the day at school where I speak
Austrailian English only.
When I come back home, I eat something
& take rest.
I don't have much time to talk to
my Mother who is at home 24/7.
& about You, You come home late
at night When it's time for me to sleep.
How am I suppose to learn Our
Own Language When I'm living
a busy & Stressful life already."
he said While trying to explain
his point of View.

"Listen Dad!
I'm not saying I don't want to learn
Our Language.
but, I've friends Who Speak English.
Everyone around me speaks English.
Only You two Speak Our Language
but We barely talk How Can I learn this"?
he was confused himself about
what was he trying to say.

"Listen Dad!
I know about Everything about Our
Culture, Our Values Our Country.
I Love all about it.
Don't be Sad.
I know more about Our Country.
I'll try to learn Our language
When I'm free.
but You should understand this too
that What is most important at this time
Your Language Or the Language of
this Country Where We're living & will
live in future too.

About Our Country,
Language isn't only a tool to Connect
to Our Hometown.
if We Love Our hometown
We should follow Our Values
& Trust Me I follow them.
Dad! don't be Sad".
he held his Father's hand & kissed.
his Father Understood what he was
trying to say.
he hugged his Son & thought:

"I was being Selfish.
how can a little kid learn so many
things at a time?
He is still learning English & is
going to school & studying hard.
I shouldn't make it harder for him."
he asked his Wife to come close
& apologised for being like a Mad person.
She simply Smiled & went to kitchen
to make something for dinner.
