Having heard his decision in disposing with the remaining meals items, Shyamala intruded: “Daddy, I would like to serve the orphans. Please daddy.”
Baskar joined her:” Yes, Uncle; I too wish to serve the orphans with the meals. We would like to earn the virtue by serving the poor and their blessings will prosper our lives.
Baghyam came there to join their conversation and when she heard their suggestion how to dispose of the remaining items of meals and tiffin, she objected: “How can we send the bride and bridegroom to the orphan’s Home as we have to perform votive offering to the Goddess Meenakshi Amman in the evening?”
Santhanam looked at his daughter’s face and sighed:” Dear, what do you say now?”
“Excuse me, mummy if I am not wrong in this issue. What I feel is, I preponderate feeding the poor orphans to votive offering.” Shyamala reinforced her idea.
At that moment, Baskar’s cell-phone buzzed. He switched on the button and continued his conversation with his mother.
“What has become of you to keep silent for more than five hours? Now where are you? I doubt whether you went to Majuro to attend the marriage or to get married?” Devi satirized.
