Friend: It is going very fine. I purchased house there & my wife and son is also very happy residing in US. Look at these photos.
His friend, shown the photos to Rajender taken in US.
Friend: Rajender, why cant you too try to come & settle down there?
Rajender: Where can I come & settle there. I dont know anything.
Friend: What did I know when I went there? Now I learned everything.
Rajender: You are right. But my mother will not allow me to go.
Friend: Parents are always like that. My mother too does not allow me initially. But later she is ok now.
Slowly Rajender got distracted in his mind & decided to go to US & try.
Rajender informed Nirmala on this idea.
Nirmala: Rajender, what is the necessity, we are having everything what is required to us.
Rajender: But Maaji, what else we do being here. The whole life we will spend inside this small village itself. I like to go outside this small circle & see the outer world.
Nirmala tried to convince Rajender not to go. But he was not ready to hear anything.
Nirmala: If that is your decision & only you are informing me, i dont have anything to tell. You do as you wish.
Initially Rajender went alone leaving the family in India. Later once he was ok with the job & place, he decided to shift the family to US.
Rajender: Maaji, I am settled now well. Now I wish to take Sujatha & Siddhant also.
Nirmala: Rajender, Did you think of me. How can I stay without you all in these old days.
Rajender: Why do you worry Maaji? Gauri is there. All our relatives are here only. I too will be there for some years & return back.
Nirmala: You are not going to her what I am telling you anyway. But before you go I want to get the engagement done for Siddhant & Roli.
Rajender: Engagement in this small age. We can do that later also.
Nirmala: No Rajender. I will not compromise in this. I want to ensure before sending my grandson that he will marry my grand daughter.
After much discussions, Rajender accepted for this.
Both the families & their relatives with village people assembled at temple to get the engagement done.

Siddhant was wearing a new Silk dhoti & shirt.
