BASKAR-SHYAMALA - Page 35/104

“We have already known that my son, Baskar is going to marry your daughter, Shyamala. “ His words took them to the apex of astonishment.

All, at a time, exclaimed:’ what! You know it already?”

Sivasankar and Devi laughed heartily and nodded.

Sivasankar continued:” By whom you all got a miraculous experience, by the same person, I got the similar experience who predicted his vatic pronouncement that Baskar is going to marry Shyamala, the only daughter of Mr. Santhanam and Baghyam. We were forced to believe in his miraculous power. I will tell you later. So we made a trick in such a manner that I had a meeting in Delhi and asked my son to attend the marriage. He travelled by bullet train but without knowing him; we travelled by flight and reached Madurai before he arrived. We followed him up to the marriage hall. Now we are seeking your permission to enter the marriage hall. We were witnessing the entire episode. Now we disguised in our old dress waiting for you at the top floor. “Sivasankar laughed loudly.

When they came to know that Sivasankar and Devi were at the top floor and witnessed the entire events, they were at the apex of joy and pleasure and they felt as they’re in Canaan.

The remaining clan of the bride were puzzled why Baskar, Shyamala, Santhanam and Baghyam hastened towards the top floor.
