Aru, the Busy Working Mom, Faces Family Conflict

She worked late into the night, engrossed in her work, unable to spend enough time with her child. Her husband insists that Aru should spend more time with their child.

Her husband encouraged Aru to focus on the family, saying he would earn the money.

Aru, on the other hand, countered by bringing up the child's emotional dependence, citing equal responsibility for economic activity and childcare between spouses.

When the nanny tried to inform Aru about the child's condition, Aru stopped her, citing work stress.

The nanny, who earns 15,000 rupees a month, was intimidated by her employer Aru and could not reveal the child's accident.

When Aru returned home and found no one there, she called her husband, who criticized her for her usual indifference toward their child.

The husband belatedly informed her that the child had been injured and hospitalized for several days.

The doctor highlighted the importance of emotional bonding, noting that the child, who had shown no improvement for two days, began to recover immediately after Aru's visit.

Aru tried to confirm if her son had eaten at the neighbor's house. The neighbor criticized Aru's parenting style for not providing warm meals for the child, stating that she cooks for her own children.

Aru retorted that she had not asked the neighbor for advice but merely inquired about whether the child had eaten.

The neighbor mistakenly believed the child was entrusted to a maid and didn't eat on time. The neighbor criticized Aru for only caring for the child after returning home, scrutinizing the child's clothes and the temperature of their food.

They also added that the child was neglected by the nanny all day and had irregular meals.

The child asked Aru to attend a school event, but Aru refused, citing a work meeting.

Her husband, despite having an important buyer meeting, made efforts to adjust his schedule for the child.

The teacher attributed the child's decreased confidence to parental indifference.

Her husband complained that the school was overly interfering in the child's affairs, but the child began to rely more on the neighbor, who cared for them more attentively than their parents.

On his birthday, the son wanted the neighbor to dress him instead of his mother, and he insisted on cutting the cake with the neighbor, not his mother.

Aru was deeply shocked when her husband's colleague, who came to the birthday party, mistook the neighbor for the child's mother.

Aru decided not to quit her job but to leave on time. She also resolved to personally manage her child's commute to and from school.

This change demonstrated Aru's commitment to balancing her life as a working professional with her responsibilities as a mother.
