Margaret received a surprising gift from her daughter-in-law, Anita: a white maxi dress accompanied by a note insisting she wear it to the wedding. Their strained relationship left Margaret suspicious, knowing Anita’s unconventional ways clashed with her own traditional values.

Seeking advice from her friend Linda, Margaret expressed her disbelief. “She sent me a white dress! Can you imagine?” she exclaimed nervously.

Meeting Anita the next day for clarification over coffee, Margaret questioned the choice. Anita reassured her, explaining it was a gesture of familial unity and respect. Still uncertain, Margaret arrived at the wedding apprehensive of judgment, only to find the venue adorned in vibrant Indian decor. Anita, contrary to Margaret’s fears, donned a red sari.

Anita’s father approached Margaret gratefully, thanking her for honoring their traditions by wearing white. Overwhelmed with relief, Margaret realized Anita’s intentions were sincere. During the festivities, Margaret approached Anita, admitting her misjudgment and thanking her for making her feel valued.

This gesture marked a new beginning for their relationship, as Margaret embraced the opportunity to build something beautiful and lasting with her daughter-in-law.
