'Mango Moods' by Reeta Mani

I love to read this story because it is very touching and interesting story. 
In this story, it show how strong and patient Chitra can be to continued her life. 
After she get married, she cannot get a baby and have to face a cruel mother-in-law. 
Since childhood, mangoes were a way of life for Chitra. 
The mango trees in the open courtyard it's the only reason she felt at home here. 
After eight years of marriage, Chitra found out that she pregnant and wish 
her parents had been alive to share her joy. 
She still remembered how her parent had only seen her sufferings and 
felt her pain as long as they were alive. 
When her mother had made a suggestion to her husband (Prasad) about adopting a child, her mother-in-law (Narayani Amma) had exploded because she can't 
accept any other child as her grandson. 
She felt really sad because Prasad had chosen to keep his mum side.
Her beautiful baby was born on a bright morning in May. 
All the family member felt really happy because the heir of their family had arrived.
She choose to forget everything in her past and start a new live with her family.
