....your ammi was elder sister and should have helped  them,  he never  spoke against his ammi, he explained  ammi always sent mamu monthly allowance  but she  avoided showing her sympathy to them  because she wanted them to feel comfortable and lead a life with dignity, shammo khala   also needed  attention,  nobody tried to get her married off , in fact she was a full time maid to mami, , she didn't want to lose such a good maid, shammo khala raised their three children,  the children got attached to her and  slept with her, mamu stayed alone in his own room,  to see mamu in a pathetic condition  hurt him, but what could he do for him,  , ammi  stayed connected to them for their sake  and nobody in the family of the in laws  ever spoke  against them 
But when shammo khala  had lived her life so far  there what made you bring her here home to live with us now 
He said just because he didn't share  something with her means it wasn't  worth telling  so it would be better  not to ask much about it but  there was her life  and she in a miserable condition and his conscience didn't allow him to ignore her  so he brought her home without taking permission from ammi and without informing anyone
