Saxenaji is first of all a politician, too scared to tarnish his name, he will help us till the point it suits him….anyway since you are interested in the project we have give it a try, study well the files and see what can be done……I will be waiting for your input and …guidance….Krishna added it as an after thought….giving one glance to the ladies he went upto his room.

Malini entered her bedroom for the first time feeling a lot excited and bit apprehensive, for the first time after her marriage she saw the two brothers getting into a quarrel, there was a tension in the house, she understood with their mishap in the family and her sudden marriage to Krishna, Rudra bhaiya's mysterious ways, the family was indeed facing testing times…..Malini softly locked the door….
Krishna was standing looking outside the window, he did not turn on hearing her arrival….Malini went about the room making the bed, removing the bedcover, pumping the pillows, he did not turn, Malini stood in uncertainty then slowly she went and hugged him from behind resting her head on his back…..
++++++++
Sapna entered Prabha Devi's room, her daughters were already sleeping and Prabha Devi was making saying her last prayers for the day….seeing Sapna she sat up straight and gave her a questioning look….
Things cannot be that bad can it? Sapna asked her mother in law……
Hmmmm….
When I got married to Rudra my parents were told by everyone that you were the biggest landowners of 10 villages around here but then what went wrong…..why is Krishna Bhaiya saying all nonsense….
Ma turned her prayer beads, staring at Sapna….
I am sure Rudra has not spent all his share and he still can have his share and still not go to jail…..I think we are entitled for our share, aren't we or are you with Krishna of couse, you were always closer to him….
Dekh Sapna…
No Maaji, I know Rudra has many faults but Krishna should not take liberties, he should not make us feel that we are indebted to him, Rudra is also son of the family, he also has his rights…..
Yes of course Sapna he has his rights but as his wife I expect better from you, keep a hand on your heart and say even if I am sitting here and dividing the land, Rudra can keep his share, remember once he gets his share then he is on his own, keep it, spend it, sale it, it is his wish…..na mai jayungi kuch bolne na Krishna jayega….aur ha aur ek baath sun le, the day I sit here dividing the lands, remember Anupama and Nirupama will also come wanting their share, no matter how well off they are, koi apna hissa nehi chhorega so if you are thinking you will get a big share, remember it will be not so…..
Apko Rudra par bharosa nehi hai….
Mujhe Krishna par bhi bharosa nehi hai, as he is still to prove himself but as a mother today if I have to take a side I will take say Krishna's proposal is better, we women should become self reliant, after all we are supposed to put the food on the table, men don't realize how tough it is to see the family going hungry to bed…..
Sapna looked puzzle….
Ma continued, my father was an ordinary service holder, when I got married your babuji was just another farmer with all the problems a farmer has, yes there were days I had to wait till your babuji returned home to hand me over the ration to be cooked, yes there were days we had hand to mouth existence, yes inspite of being the largest landowner your babuji could not leave much in the bank as he was always helping someone or the other….not that I agreed to it all the time but yes he had seen atleast that his children do not go hungry, utna toh unhone meri suni, I would not have it otherwise…now this is your life, your children, your husband….baki tu dekh le….
++++++++
Malini traced Krishna's profile, who was staring at her face, the room was lit with a night lamp, the sound of the rain falling in a constant force…..
Malini how strong are you….Krishna asked….
Ji…matlab….
Krishna sighed…..Pulling her closer he asked how strong are you, not physically but mentally….
Malini gripped Krishna's shoulder, her nails dug into his skin….what is he getting at, she wanted to know…but somehow she lost her voice to ask….
+++++
Krishna stopped the bike in front of the Panchayat Office, Malini got down, she gave him a nervous look, swallowed a bit, Krishna's expression did not change, he started the bike and left. Malini's hands were shaking as she watched Krishna vanishing from her sight….gathering her thoughts, she somehow climbed the stairs of the Panchayat office, the people sitting there were busy gossiping, some reading newspapers and others drinking tea…..Malini waited observing them, waiting for them to notice her but it seemed either she was invisible or she was too insignificant….curling her palms into a fist she walked in saying I would like to speak to the concern person who can guide me regarding the schemes available for women's self reliance….

Krishna stopped the bike in front of Agasthya's office, locking the bike he juggled the keys as he walked into his brother-in-law's office, Bali was sitting there talking to Agasthya, Krishna waving at them, he stood looking out of the window trying to hear what they were talking about but they were speaking very softly, after minute or two Bali took leave….
Tell me Krishna what brings you here, without any intimation or invitation….
Well I am sorry I did not know that I needed an invitation to come to my brother in law's office, anyway it seems you know Bali….infact I wanted to ask you about him only and it seems you know him makes my work easier….
Why are you interested in Bali? Agasthya's eyes narrowed
Oh I am not interested really, I have been told by many that Bali runs the local gambling dens…..
Your elder brother is a regular there, I mean in one of those who should be able to give you some information sitting at home…
That you too can or anybody else….no I do not want to know from my brother or lets say he will have nothing more to tell me, I too know Bali, we have met briefly but now seems your business is growing in this area I thought why not ask you if you know Bali, our father did nothing much except farming, you have variety of business so the possibility of knowing him is higher……
Agasthya said nothing, he waited for Krishna to finish…..
I do know him fleetingly, I wanted to go with you and inform him that he should not let Rudra bhaiya enter his den's as none of his debts are going to be paid…..well what should I hide from you, you know father did not leave much as cash in the bank and ….
Rudra has got land, I mean his share of land, ….err I mean I tell Bali….uuhhmmm he will not believe me, everybody knows your babuji was the biggest landowner of this area….
Krishna's kept quiet pondering for a moment or two before replying that he was indeed but Rudra's property is not his own, I mean it is joint property, inherited from his father, all his children have got equal rights and why should we waste our land on paying debt, Saxenaji has come up with good proposals, to implement those we need land, Rudra bhaiya is very much interested, he is studying the files and once he is ready we will sit with him, I would also ask bade jijaji to come over, I mean since …..
Just a minute Krishna you mean that we are to get…..
Well I don't know how things will be in the future but the basics…I mean we have to study and discuss but then we should not close our options…..
You mean to say that you …..
Future lies in industries and we should strive towards it….
I do not think your elder Jijaji is cut out to do business….Agasthya was already curling his moustache…
Hmmm you are right but with Ma around she will not like to see are depriving badi didi but we can think of something later …I mean so will you speak to Bali or should I get somebody else to speak to him, you know I do not want to give Saxenaji any false pictures, in business understanding should be transparent after all you know his reputation….
Do you think Saxenaji will be interested doing business with you still, I mean his daughter and then ….
Pratigya loves me very much, Malini is there I know but Pratigya is one headstrong girl and it is here Saxena uncle cannot do anything, he is totally helpless in front of his daughter….aap kahi se bhi puch sakte hai….or you must be knowing it is no big secret…..
Yes I have so heard, your romance was talk of the town….
Krishna looked embarrassed…..
Theek hai let me deal with Bali….
You will deal with Bali, I mean I can do just if you will introduce me with him….
Instead of Rudra I think you should study the file, well I will not hide but I don't think too highly about my elder brother-in-law, and regarding Saxenaji, I know but you do not know the girls of today, they can un-love you in no time so yeh love rehte rehte we should do the deal…..you concentrate on that and let me take care of Bali….
Ji bahut bahut sukhriya, kandha se ek bojh utar giya, I can now go home in peace…
Ha theek hai theek hai you concentrate on that project now….
With a big thank you Krishna left….
