Priya and her husband, Kevin, agree to be taken out for dinner by Kevin\u2019s parents. But when they get to the restaurant, the couple get a side of snide remarks with their meals.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
My husband, Kevin, and I eagerly accepted a dinner invitation from his parents. We were newly married and had recently gotten back from our honeymoon, so we had yet to catch up with them.<\/p>\n
\u201cPriya, are you sure you want to do it?\u201d Kevin asked me as I was doing my makeup for the evening out.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cYes!\u201d I exclaimed. \u201cThey\u2019re family now, and I have to spend more time with them, you know.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
Kevin sat at the edge of the bed and put his shoes on. I knew he was concerned about how his parents would behave with me.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
It\u2019s not that they didn\u2019t like me \u2014 they didn\u2019t get to know me properly. Leading up to the wedding, Kevin\u2019s mom, Sasha, only spent about four hours alone with me. And as for John, Kevin\u2019s father \u2014 I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever been alone with me.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cAt least they\u2019re splurging for dinner,\u201d Kevin chuckled.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
I laughed \u2014 we were both pleasantly surprised that they had chosen a fancy place for dinner.<\/p>\n
We get to the restaurant, and Sasha and John jump up, excited to see us.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow was the honeymoon?\u201d Sasha asked. \u201cYou must tell us everything!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, it\u2019s not something we\u2019ll talk about, but we can show you some photographs,\u201d Kevin teased.<\/p>\n
After that, the evening was pleasant, laughter filling the air, until my mother-in-law, in a seemingly playful manner, dropped a bombshell.<\/p>\n
\u201cI never thought my son would truly settle down with someone,\u201d she said, glancing my way.<\/p>\n
I almost choked on my wine.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
Before I could even recover from the shock, my father-in-law chimed in.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven less with someone like you,\u201d he said, chuckling.<\/p>\n
I was stunned. I couldn\u2019t help but demand an explanation for myself.<\/p>\n
I glanced at Kevin, whose eyes almost popped out of his head.<\/p>\n
John revealed that he and Sasha had envisioned a different type of person for his son \u2014 someone more beautiful.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat timeless striking type of beautiful. You know?\u201d John laughed.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, the type that speaks of old money,\u201d Sasha said.<\/p>\n
The revelation left me feeling hurt and upset.<\/p>\n
Then, the waiter came and took our orders, signaling the end of the conversation.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
\u201cMom, Dad,\u201d Kevin began when the waiter left.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat, son?\u201d John asked. \u201cWe\u2019re just saying what we thought all along.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you\u2019ve always been surprising, I\u2019ll give you that,\u201d Sasha said.<\/p>\n
And the entire time, I sat there. Looking at the two of them, unable to believe I was sitting right there, they continued to have a conversation that offended me.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re good-looking enough, Priya, don\u2019t worry,\u201d John said, grinning at me from across the table.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t know how to respond to such a statement. I wanted to throw my wine at him, but I knew it would be the worst thing I could ever do.<\/p>\n
Then, Karma worked herself.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
A waiter carrying a tray of hot soup inadvertently tripped and spilled the scalding liquid on my father-in-law\u2019s lap as if on cue.<\/p>\n
Instantly, my upset feelings transformed into a mix of disbelief and suppressed laughter. But then, my instincts kicked in, and I poured some water onto John\u2019s lap to help with the burning soup.<\/p>\n
I could see that he was in a lot of pain. I called for the waiter to get more icy water while my mother-in-law took over.<\/p>\n
When the waiter brought a jug of water to our table, I did the same thing.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
Kevin\u2019s parents were too preoccupied with the unfortunate incident to dwell on their earlier comments.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh boy,\u201d Sasha said, dabbing at John\u2019s pants with a napkin. \u201cThis is going to leave such a stain.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s tomato soup, isn\u2019t it?\u201d John sniffed and grimaced when Sasha pressed too hard.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you okay?\u201d Kevin asked sarcastically.<\/p>\n
\u201cDishwashing liquid and white vinegar,\u201d I chimed in. \u201cThat should remove the stain.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBeauty and brains, huh?\u201d Kevin chuckled.<\/p>\n
I sat back and sipped on my wine, waiting for my prawn and ginger dumplings to arrive.<\/p>\n
Perhaps, at that moment, the universe had decided to serve a dish of instant Karma, reminding us all that beauty is more than skin deep and that our words carry weight.<\/p>\n
Kevin apologized for his parents\u2019 words when we went home, but I tried to reassure him that it wasn\u2019t on him. They were just two older people who were committed to their view of what their son\u2019s life was supposed to be.<\/p>\n
The next day, my in-laws came over, bringing along pastries because Sasha remembered that I loved cinnamon buns.<\/p>\n
\u201cI couldn\u2019t have asked for a better woman for my son,\u201d my father-in-law said later, over coffee and the treats.<\/p>\n
Then, they apologized for everything.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
