BASKAR-SHYAMALA - Page 48/104

Shyamala nodded.

Baskar asked her,” Where are we going?”

“Round this village.” replied Shyamala.

“Afterwards?”

“Nuptial room.” She replied blushingly.

“Why?” Baskar asked her banteringly.

“After coming in the room, you will come to know.”

“What will I come to know?”

….The purpose of our marriage.”

“What’s the purpose of this marriage?”

“Ussh!” she exclaimed blushingly and signed to keep quiet.

Some noticed them conversing with each other and especially some ladies who observed Shyamala gesturing to keep him quiet, commented to their companions:” It seems that this couple are familiar with each other but not strangers as they sign with each other.”

The head prohit declared his verdict that eleven ten is an auspicious time for the couple to enter the nuptial room. So at eleven ten, Baskar and Shyamala were allowed to enter the nuptial room and the door was locked outside.
