CHAPTER 49

Devyani gets to see the boy’s photo

One week later the boy’s horoscope and photo arrived with a letter from Shankaraiah.

Shastri looked at Devyani who was standing at the door. “Call Laxmi. Maybe Shivayya is also at home today. “

Devyani went out. Shastri took out Devyani’s horoscope and matched it with the boy’s jataka. “Everything is perfect. If we have your blessing it is enough.”

Suddenly Shivayya and Laxmi come with Devyani. They sat on the mat.

Laxmi asked, “What happened?”

Devyani brought water.

Shastri said, “Devyani, prepare coffee.”

Devyani went into the kitchen.

Shastri said, “I told you about Shankaraiah, isn’t it? He has sent horoscope and photo. horoscope is matching, it seems. I too have checked. 30 pointed are matching. Will you see the boy’s photo?”

Shastri passed the boy’s photo and horoscope. Laxmi looked at the photo. Shivayya too looked at it. Laxmi’s face brightened.

Shastri asked, “How is the boy?”

“He is like a prince.”

Shivayya nodded. “True.”

He looked at Devyani who was bringing coffee. “A perfect match for our princess.”

Devyani was shy. Laxmi caught hold of her hand and made her sit besides her. She showed her the photo. “See your prince. How handsome he is.”

Devyani looked at the photo and felt shy.

Laxmi said, “Now even if you say no, I will not allow it. He only will be my son-in-law.”

Devyani smiled and ran into her room.

Shastri said, “The boy and his family will come this Sunday to see Devyani.”

Shivayya laughed. He looked at Laxmi. “This time you don’t prepare any panka and I will get the chairs in advance. Also we will get 2 crates of coco cola.”

Shastri laughed. “I think these people are not of that type.”
