Ramana, Shyamala and Prasanth were only the three students who were interested in listening to her lecture and Swathi was aware of it. The above three were in her good books.
As it was Friday, Swathi went to Meenakshi Temple to worship. It’s her wont to go to Goddess Meenakshi Temple every Friday.
With bleary eyes, Swathi prayed whole heartedly and curtsied in front of the altar. Then she relaxed herself by sitting on the steps of the Lotus Tank. She was about to reminisce but something arrested her thoughts and she felt herself that some miraculous power invited her attention to the opposite side of the tank where she saw a sage looking at her with seraphic smiling face.
When her eyes met his eyes, the sage signed her to come to him.
Like mesmerized patient, she walked up to him and sat in front of him when he signed to sit before him.
Then he closed his eyes and predicted:” Professor Madam, very soon you are going to marry your student, younger to you and after marriage with him, you are going to reach the apex of your position. Your life will be very pleasant. So, when he proposes, don’t deny his pure love but accept it and marry him. Goddess Meenakshi will bless you; don’t worry my child.”
