“I wonder how you resemble Karunanidhi in telling lies!” Sivasankar commented.
“Karunanidhi… lie? What all these, dad?”
“Don’t you know Karunanidhi?”
“Yes.”
“What is he notorious for?”
“Swindling and cheating.”
“Above all?”
“Steeped in the sump of lies. And he is an arch liar.”
“Yes, there you are. Why do you tell me lies? Tell me the truth now. What happened there?”
It’s inevitable for Baskar to recount everything to his father, his experience with the clairvoyant, his prediction, elopement of bridegroom and swayamavaram episode.
Sivasankar was listening to him patiently. “Do you want me to believe all your words?”
“Please excuse me if I am wrong to ask you whether you will believe anything with evidence.”
“I understand that it is not a court of law to give verdict on the basis of evidence. Well, call your wife, I want to speak to her.” Sivasankar said calmly by hiding his resentment.
