Our astrologer considered his wife as a convergent thinker since she focused the on the problem of marrying the three girls at a time and living with the tri- wives amicably and tried to synthesize the ways and means and used her pragmatic knowledge to achieve a solution. He repeated what Lakshmi told then:” Do you mean that Baskar is to remain with Shyamala from Monday to Sunday and then from next Monday to Sunday, he is to remain with the twin sisters. Am I right?”
Lakshmi nodded. “By this arrangement, there won’t be any tiff between the couples. What do you say? “She looked at Ramanathan.
“Let me take time to contemplate and decide by consulting with my daughters and my wife.” Ramanathan expressed his opinion to evade answering directly at the spot..
“Okay; take your time and let us know your opinion at the earliest.” Lakshmi put a full stop to the problem.
They took leave of the house.
After they left, Lakshmi told her husband sadly:” I think Ramanathan and his wife are not willing to give their daughters in marriage to Baskar.”
“Yes, I know it,” nodded Ragavachariyar and added, “But Vidhya Kiran and Vijay Kiran are bent on marrying Baskar. So there is a little hope.” He tried to convince his wife.
