Smita extended her hand for ovation.

   Instead of shaking hand with Smita , he said" Pranam "

  She felt she had mellowed. When she looked back ,She was perplexed to see Samita espoused and grinned . 

    Smita said to him coldly ," welcome Somesh . Be seated. I would like to entertain you with a cup of coffee. "She turned back briskly to the manor.

   "Is she not in her good spirits ?"inquired Somesh 

   " Her mood is always the same except bind by self-interest, She resipirorted. It is unmanageable  to hold  her. "

    "Eh, I'm aware of this. Just wait and watch and hope for the best".

   Samita went in and  Smita came out with an excellent facepack. She appeared more than Samita's beauty.

   "Did you talk with Samita ? Her manners are really commendable. "

    She squealed , "You can just get going unceremoniously, your purpose,who is your dearest  , Samita or myself ".

    He grinned," Eh, you , madam Smita , I have a frivolous dialogue with you.

      Smita was abut to break to her chair when Samita with a coffee cup in her hand said, "Good afternoon , sir. "

    Smita controlled her emotion and said hobnobbingly ," Not only coffee but some snacks. Come with me. "

"Thank you madam. No coffee nor anything. "He giggled at Smita.

   He was satisfied that the prey had swallowed the bait.

   Smita towed him to the manor. She placed before him the mixed fruit plate. When she went in to the kitchen , he had a bird's-eye view of the wall paintings and the still snapshots of her acquaintances with whom she was in intimate pose.  He also streaked the snapshot of two adult  younggsters. He asked to him self whose those photographs might be ! with a handful of people of aeon he blotted an elderly man with two mature  lassies. 

When she returned for an inquiry he asked" I suppose the elderly person might be your husband but the two teen agers ?"

  She managed to her falling voice. With a restored faith she turned to him and   smirked  ," Yes , They are my younger daughters. They have paid a visit to their friends'. Please finish up the snacks. "

    Somesh was glad that his plans were going on accordingly.

 He said to himself,"Samita, cheer up. You shall drive fast. "

   Gratitudely he said , "Thanks madam but I 'm sure you have been stressed out of your limit to the bad news. But you have to hold patience. Don't worry my elder brother is a high court advocate. I will consult with him to find out a way to save you from the imminent danger. "He rose and went out abruptly.  She immediately understood his intention

   and nodded  her head  nervously for the impending fright .Samita was made out to herself about Somesh's success in his first attempt.

   Day followed by date , Smita rang him as many times as she could for breakfast , lunch and coffee frequently , but he eschewed it.  

      During the time he chalked out his plans and rang to Smita , " Madam, I had a talk with my brother. He took time to say me the alternative. After going through his law books he said to me that your castigation can be relaxed but you have to deposit the  improper amount you misappropriated. " But my son, save me. " She wept willy-nilly.

    " You see madam it's the only way left. After you collected the mishandling amount ; mis call me. " He delinked the phone.

     By ten Samita phoned up to Somesh and said," Sir,My mama is reacting severely. She has been in insomniac since you left her. So far I have over heard actually she has scammed money from public account and she will be punished by judicial bench !! Please do something for her rescue "

   "Don't worry. It's altogether false. Nevertheless, I have been stunned when she confessed the fact ! I prepared a scheme depending on her previous records and asked her close acquaintances from whom she collected the hard cash to invest in different policies and swindled them.  I supposed , as she was a clerical part she might be indulged in cash mishandling. I grasped on this base and dragged the big fish from the pool. She made a mole hill. But she will not be excused  before she  depsited the cash in my brother's account. Don't mistake me. The huge cash wil be nobly used for your self and your younger sisters. "

   Samita couldn't believe there are some pure personalities still alive!

  She requested her mother to deposit the scammed money in in the advocate's account as a remedial measure to avoid prison punishment. "

    Smita had to obey.

   Days passed. one day Somesh arrived at Samita' s with the marriage proposals of her junior sisters. Smita who had been made known how Somesh made it possible to repent her misdeeds. She laughed and welcomed the noble personality 

   When they were entertaining coffee , Smita said, " What about Samita ? I propose your name for your Samita to tie the knot. I am consulting your elder brother very soon "

   " No ,I'm a married person , I mean, a widower. It's God's wish I obscured. My elder brother proved the case false and the whole sum is with him. I assign, the exceedingly large amount should be spent for your three daughters' wedding ceremony. A good news for you Samita. I have been able to see for yourself a job. you may join tomorrow. " All of them helloed  him with tearful eyes.
