Chapter 34- Poornima Patel Sant Guru and the temple head priest were standing in the front hall of a house. A man sat on the leaning armchair. Another man quite younger stood by the side.
" Why Mahantji why do you remember Harkishore now. Well seems like you cannot protect traditions" the man laughed
" Kishoreji see I know, what happened to you and your daughter was not right. But when the child's father refused to accept the truth in front of everyone you know I cannot do anything"
" Really Mahantji you cannot do anything. Did you call the father of the child who was in my daughter's womb. You were the one who married my Anu to him secretly in temple. Spineless worm "
" But Harkishoreji you cant tell Mahantji didn't help you. Normally Anu would have been stoned to death, but we allowed you to leave the place quietly and I suppose the child's father did help you secretly with money "
" Money, we threw that in his face " shouted the young man. " Pratap is not spineless as the son of Rajasekhar Varma to take money from him. He is capable of working and has worked in a proper job to take care of his sister and her child. My sister, she was a Suhagan, but lived the life of the widow for the honor of the family in the new place we went. I have seen her withering away in the betrayal and she died when Poorni was just 5 years, while her so called husband married the girl of his parent's choice and is living a good life now"
" We had not come till now because my wife wanted peace and we owed her that " told Harkishore
" Now Maa is not there and my Poorni should get her right. She is not Poornima Patel, she is Poornima Varma. I want the honor of the Varma's to hit the dust" told Pratap
" See Harkishoreji after what happened in the community hall we also want to ensure the Varma family doesn't get away. A widow is wearing ghungroos and above all the youngest son has questioned Sant Guru on his predictions" told temple priest
" Mahantji so the youngest Varma son what is his name
" Sreedhar" told Sant Guru
" Haan Sreedhar he wants to know what karma made his sis-in-law who has a sowbhagya yoga a widow. He will know. He will know very soon of the karma done by his grandfather, father and his brother that has come back to bite them. He will know about tears of Anusree Patel a young girl of 17 who was out casted as a unwed pregnant lady, while she was a suhagan and had given herself only to her husband. His spineless brother who had married her in temple and enjoyed the Suhaagraat, then leaving her to the sharks of the society. Her caste didn't matter in bed, when it came to owning up it made a lot of difference" Harkishore Patel's eyes blazed.
" Harkishoreji we are with you. Now tell us what we have to do "
" First and the foremost I want humiliation for the family. And it has to come through that widow bahu of theirs. Their widow bahu has to come out "
" But how can we bring widow out" told Sant Guru
" We all know when a widow comes out Sant Guruji", he looked at Pratap
Pratap explained something to temple priest and Sant Guru.
" But they wont celebrate Navrathri festival this year. Murali Varma is dead only for 7 months by that time"
" Mahantji if your dream can allow widow to wear ghungroos, ensure with your dream this time one of the Jagratha of Navrathri is planned in Varma house"
" But the person who sent me negatives will know it is fake "
" He will know, but why do we care about him. He will not know what we want this time. Whoever it is I don't think he has any clue about Anusree Patel "
" And you know if everything go as planned there is only one way the widow can be protected and I don't think any of the varma boys have that kind of spine with them" both Harkishore and Pratap laughed, while Sant Guru and Temple priest nodded
Sreedhar had taken Aakash, Adwaith and Nami to weekend outing. As usual they were taking the ice candy from the roadside vendor. 1 girl walked in and asked for ice candy. The man made ice candy and the girl gave Rs 100.
" You don't have change " asked the candy man
" No, I had come to super market.my grand father gave me only this money. When I saw ice candy on the way, I wanted to buy" told the girl innocently
" If you have no change, no ice candy. I do not have that kind of change with me"
Girl looked crest fallen and she tried to walk away. " Beta please stop, Bhaiyya please give her ice candy. I will pay" told Sreedhar.
The girl gave a beautiful wide smile as she took ice candy " Thank you uncle "
" What is your name" asked Sreedhar
Before the girl could tell Aakash told " Poornima Patel Chachu, she is the new head prefect of our school this year "
The girl blushed as if she didn't wanted to know her credentials " Yes I am Poornima Patel. We came from Raipur to Jaipur this year and I am studying in Navmantha Public School in 10th std. I have been made head prefect as I was the assistant prefect in my previous school "
Sreedhar patted the girl's shoulder and " Nice meeting you young lady, will see you soon once again". The girl smiled and walked away with ice candy and Sreedhar looked at her not sure why he felt connected to the girl
