Little did I know...

“I first met him when as a young girl my friends and I used to go to play in his building. Everyone found him really good looking, but as soon as they found out he was deaf and dumb they would lose interest. When we first communicated through signs, we expressed our love for one another and I assured him that I would marry no one but him. We would walk on the beach for hours, where he would try to hold my hand and I would shy away! However, my parents didn’t approve of my decision to be with him and after 7 long years of trying to convince them, I gave up and decided that I couldn’t wait any longer. My husband’s mama gave me away, because my parents didn’t attend my own wedding. Everyone asked me, how we would survive if he wasn’t earning but he shut everyone up when he got a job at a radio factory. He used to work really hard to support us and he even expanded to sales of radio covers and spare parts.
Over time, I got so used to conversing in signs that often I would go days without speaking and I liked it like that because I felt we understood each other better that way. We had 6 beautiful children, all of whom he loved and pampered. There were a few years in between when his factory shut down and we were facing some troubles – but my daughters began giving tuitions to young children to keep us secure and even those values they’ve learnt from him. He really had the best heart. Even after retirement he would go to the Gurudwara and distribute sweets, take care of other people’s children while they took a dip in the water and he was just so full of love. I really miss him everyday. He was the best thing that happened to me and every year on his birthday I make sure I go to the school of the deaf and dumb to speak to the children about him and his ‘normal’ life. Given the chance, in every life I’d choose him – the best husband, the best father and the best person.“
