“Time has come now.” Lakshmi replied acutely.
“Yes; any other important matter?”
“Yes.” Lakshmi stressed.
“May I know?” Sivasankar asked politely.
“I don’t have any objection if your wish is to give your daughter in marriage to my son.” Lakshmi was very careful in using hr. statements.
“May I know what has changed your mind?” Sivasankar pointed out her futile mind.
“Your friend scrutinized both horoscopes and predicted that that in spite of some blemishes in both horoscopes, there won’t be major problem in their life. That point convinced me. Moreover, Baskar and Shyamala became staunch lovers. So I thought I don’t want to be an obstacle to them. “Lakshmi minced by fibbing perfectly.
Sivasankar suspected that whether her daughter’s birth secret was divulged out. But he didn’t know the fact that Shyamala’s father was the brother-in-law of our astrologer. Ragavachari kept it secret. But Siva knew that her daughter belonged to Brahmin clan.
Sivasankar nodded and told them:” I too have no problem in this alliance. If it is the will of God, who can prevent this marriage? I wish to celebrate this marriage in a grand manner. I will consult with Ragav and let you know how the marriage celebration should be performed. “ Then he spoke to his friend:” Ragav, Fix the date for marriage now itself. I will make arrangements for the grand celebration of marriage of my daughter. What do you say?”
