Just a month back, Nayana and Manohar tied the knot and moved to their newly constructed house 'Chandira' in Maruthi layout, Pavanpur.

On Sunday at seven am, while sipping filter coffee, couples start romantic talks for a couple of minutes.

" Manohar, it's been a month since we got married, unable to take a trip on our honeymoon. If you still delay, the charm would be lost. Let's go to Ooty the day after tomorrow and enjoy the vicinity of beautiful nature."

"Yes! My darling Nayana. I have already made all the arrangements. As you know, numerous problems are emerging in our Paramount Computer Sales and Service Business."

"Manohar, problems in business are bound to come. Find the solutions with your partners. Otherwise, say goodbye to the firm and start a new business."

"Nayana, it's very easy to talk. But it's very difficult to take action. You know, some of them are peculiar problems, which can be solved with great difficulty."

Nayana knew those problems but preferred to keep silent.

"Forget about all the problems at this moment. Now we are in a happy time and talk only about love," said Nayana.

"Nayana, your happiness is my happiness."

Both were laughing and dancing remembering lovely moments just before and after the marriage. The main door was repeatedly knocking which irritated the young couple. At the same time, Manohar received a message from an unknown person on his mobile.

"Meet me at your back door urgently. You need not worry about the door knockers. They are your known people. God will protect the good people like you."

The couple felt uneasiness from the persons, who were creating a disturbance.

Whom to meet first?

An unknown person at the rear door or open the main door?

"Manohar, I will look at the guy through the small window of the rear door. Don't open the main door until I come back," Nayana said.

She peeped out of the window and saw an old bald-headed man wearing bright white lungi, a designer tee-shirt with coloured glasses and a tilak on his forehead. He was sitting on his two-wheeler and busy with his mobile. Nayana could not control her laugh, as he was none other than her own uncle Mangalamurthy. She called him to come inside. He was in a hurry and just raised his hand and left.


When she came back, she had a big shock. Manohar was in a heated argument with two of his business partners. She became angry at the presence of Shashikant, one of the partners. She went to the bedroom and lay on the bed. Tears were flowing from her eyes. She remembers the events that took place just six months before she got married.

After completing her B.Com, she joined service in Paramount Computer Sales and Service as accounts in charge. She was busy with office work and hardly got time to speak with the owners of the firm Manohar, Prakash and Shashikant.

One day in the evening, Sashikant accidentally met Nayana in front of the Sujatha Medical Store near the Pavanpur Gandhi Circle. Both talked freely for a while about general topics without feeling like bosses or subordinates. Sashiikanth fell in love with her. His problem was how to express his desire. After some time, he went to Nayana's house and met her uncle Mangalamurthy and expressed his desire boldly in the presence of Nayana. Murthy was delighted that the right time had come for his daughter's marriage. He said shubhasya shighram. Nayana felt uneasy and left. Mangalamurthy was surprised to observe her strange attitude. Shashikant left with hope. When she returned back, her uncle asked why she left abruptly? She replied without knowing the background of a person, is it wise to make a hurried decision? Mangalmurthy felt something fishy. He thought of collecting more information about Shashikant.

Nayana had already met another boss Manohar in and out of the office. She was very much impressed by his simplicity, the way he behaves, and the kindness he brings. She thought Manohar was the right person to be her husband. One day she expressed her desire to Manohar. He was surprised to know her intention. He too was liking her and agreed to the relationship. Nayana succeeded in convincing her uncle.

Just after a week, her uncle appreciated her for rejecting Shashikant and decided to marry Manohar. Nayana got married to Manohar on one auspicious day. Shashikant and Prakash had been invited. Shashikanth was too angry and avoided attending the marriage. He also decided to sever relationships with Manohar and the firm. But Prakash was friendly and attended the marriage. His efforts to set things right failed. All three were childhood friends and completed BE during the same year.

She stopped recollecting the memories when the main door was shut. Nayana came out and saw everybody left. She thought they might have gone to approach a lawyer for the dissolution of the partnership firm, 'Paramount Computer Sales & Service. Nayana was upset when Manohar didn't return home even after three hours. She was ready to file a complaint with the police, a black cat passed in her way. It was a bad omen. She sat for a while and prayed to God. Her complaint was duly registered by the police.

The firm was growing every year from the first year to the third year. Only due to Nayana, Shashikant withdrew his share from the firm and stopped talking with Manohar.

It was the talk of the town that Shashikant had an illicit relationship with a lady, who was a sweeper in his office. He has a six-month-old baby boy. The credit for leaking this love affair goes to Mangalmurthy.

Paramount Computer & Service was continued by the existing partners.

Nobody knew where Shashikant had gone. The complaint with the police was withdrawn.

Shashikant, despite having illegal relationships with the sweeper tried to marry Nayana keeping the whole story secret. Manohar, a nice gentleman and Nayana, a simple and cute girl became husband and wife. Their relationship was on solid ground and lived together forever.

The moral of the story is that a man with dubious character always suffers; whereas a man with a pure heart leads a happy life.
