None wanted 5L

I didn't permit Neha to drive car on Delhi's roads. Casually, she would drive to her office in my presence and I would take car back home. However, looking her interest, I kept aside 5L for an i-10 besides other wedding expenditure and let others knew of my intention. After 7-8 months, we visited US to meet them. One day, Neha and her mom were busy in shopping and Nimish and I were sitting idle in a mall. Here I informed him that all elders, including his mother, knew that I am holding some 5L as our humble contribution with blessings for their car whenever they might plan. He turned down this idea the next moment politely saying, 'Papa, you have already done all well. Now, it's all over. We are not going to accept that.' After one year, when an interest of about sixty thousand was accrued, I tried to see their reaction by transferring it to Neha's account. She immediately became suspicious and called me that she was going to return that. We persuaded that we wanted to bring some LED TV to their new home, but couldn't fearing if you would like it or not. On Prisha's first birthday, we again tried to convince them to let us put the amount in her name under some Sukanya Scheme for 21 years. इस पर भी काफी बवाल मचा तो नयन धीरे-से बोला, 'अरे, कोई नहीं ले रहा तो 5 लाख मुझे ही दे दो!' So, not only I transferred the amount in his name, her mom too did it with another 5L commenting, "Make it up to your own wedding expenditure.. Our responsibilities are all over now!"
