“Why did you hide the secret from knowing to us?” Lakshmi questioned him while weeping.
Ragavachari heaved a sigh of relief and replied:” I gave promise to Sivasankar when he requested me not to divulge the secret. But today, I have to eat my words as it’s inevitable. It’s a blessing in disguise. Hope you won’t abhor Shyamala hereafter.”
“When I come to know that Shyamala is my niece, my irrational detestation disappeared. I never expected that she would be my niece. Now I understand she is a chip off the old block. Yes, I find the resemblance of some characters of my brother in her. He is also haughty like Shyamala when he was young. “Lakshmi spoke nasally (sounding as if her nose were pinched)
Ramanathan and his wife sighed since they didn’t expect such kind of turn of events.
His eyes spoke to Vidhya Kiran:” What are you going to do now? Your rival Shyamala is now the niece of Lakshmi and she won’t despise her on any account. So she will decide to give Baskar in marriage to Shyamala. What is your idea?”
Vidhya Kiran signed to the side of Baskar and replied by dint of her eyes contact:” I’d like to consult with Baskar regarding this matter. Please wait till then.”
