“Shyamala, Did you take care of them?”
”Cook will come and I will take care of them, dad.”
Then Sivasankar turned to the side of Baskar and asked him to come near him and as he came near, he asked him,” Are you satisfied with the appointment of Professor Sunder in our college? How is he now?”
Lakshmi outstared at Baskar and fire broke out from her eyes. “Buffalo” her lips muttered.
“As far as appointment of Professor Sunder in your college, Shyamala is entirely responsible, Uncle. Baskar replied to escape his further question.
Sivasankar looked at his daughter which meant, “Is it true?”
Shyamala wanted to play a trick on Baskar and wanted to see how he would tackles the problem. So she said softly, “Professor Sunder had been in his house as a tenant. So Baskar has much knowledge about him. So he recommended him for posting. Relying on his words, I recommended Professor for the posting.”
Lakshmi intruded:” I know Sunder. I don’t know what makes him leave from my house. Then, I came to know that in order to marry his student, Moghana, he left and settled in her house. So, on the basis of his knowledge in Mathematics, Baskar would have suggested to Shyamala.”
Sivasankar understood that they tried to prevaricate in this matter. He switched over to another topic: “Really I am very much pleased to know that you have come here to see me after a long time.”
