CHAPTER 10

Jaidev comes to Shermi’s house

          Jaidev’s car stopped in front of Shermi’s house. Commando got down from a car following Jaidev’s car. He looked around and then took out his mobile.

Commando spoked into a mobile, “You can come out of the car now.”

Jaidev got down with security guards. He entered the house.

Madhavi and Chandru were watching TV. Seeing Jaidev enter, they got up and welcome him.

Madhavi said happily, “Come, come, brother.”

Chandru shook hands with Jaidev. “How are you?”

“I am fine.” Said Jaidev.

Madhavi went in and brought a glass of water.

Jaidev drank water. “I came to give you important information.”

Madhavi asked surprised, “What? About the marriage I suppose.”

Jaidev nodded. “Yes. Yesterday, I went to meet your would be son-in-law, Deepak. His sister and brother-in-law have come from the US.”

Madhavi was very happy. “We are very happy to know that.”

Jaidev said, “We have fixed the engagement to be held on the 20^th of next month.”

Chandru said with a smile, “Jaidev, all your grace only. You are everything to us. She is like your own daughter.”

Jaidev said, “If I had a son bigger than her, I would have made her my daughter-in-law. I love her so much.”

Madhavi was sad. “What to do. She is not so lucky because your son is younger than her.”

Jaidev said sadly, “That is true. But the boy I have selected is also very good. He is very rich, but at the same time has great qualities. He does not have parents. Shermi will have to look after all his needs.”

Jaidev opened his suitcase and showed her the money inside. “We should get her married according to my status. The boy is very rich. His sister has given me lakhs of rupees when I needed it. We must preserve our status. There is 30 lakhs here. Give it as dowry on the engagement day even if they say no. Keep this safely.”

Taking the money, Madhavi looked at her brother. “Brother, you are like god to us. Since my marriage, you have helped a lot. I don’t even feel the loss of my parents.”

Jaidev said, “You are my only sister. God has given me plenty. Why can’t I spend a little on you? The girl is very dear to me.”

He gave her the suitcase. “Keep this carefully. Tell me where you want to hold the engagement.”

Madhavi said, “Brother, our god is Rameshwaraswamy of Vikarabad forest. Let us hold the engagement and marriage at the temple itself.”

Jaidev nodded, “No problem, sister. Let us hold it there only.”

He looked around and asked, “Where is Shermi?”

Madhavi said sadly, “What to do. She says she has computer class and leaves early in the morning to return late in the evening. She does not listen to us anymore.”

Jaidev said, “Don’t worry. Anyway, she will get married soon.”
