Sujan had brought home his girlfriend Nita for his family to get introduced to. Sujan and Nita were college friends. Now both were working in their respective area of study. Their friendship had over the years blossomed into a concrete relationship. Sujan's mother Sheila had heard from friends that her son was going steady with a girl so she wanted to know who this girl was. So one day during dinner she had asked her son to bring his friend so that everyone would see and know her.


Sujan introduced Nita to his mother and his grandparents who stayed with them. Sujan's grandmother kept looking at Nita as if she had seen her before. Somehow, seeing Nita, his grandmother found something strangely familiar. Somehow she felt that this girl looked like her son-in-law, Sujan's father. Then Sujan's mother brought tea and snacks for Nita. But, Nita having just a sip in the tea cup and a bite in the biscuit felt a sudden giddiness and then went to the toilet to relieve herself. She came out from the toilet after some delay and then Sujan's grand mother told her to lie down on the bed. Nita felt embarrassed and wanted to go home but Sujan's family would not let her go without her recovering fully. While Nita was lying down, Sujan's grandmother did a good check up of her pulse and eyes.

Then she was in for a surprise and didn't disclose her findings immediately. In a little while Nita feeling better left the house with Sujan in tow. Sheila asked Sujan to come back soon for important discussions.


After Sujan returned, Sheila and Sujan's grand mother told him to have Nita checked up with a gynaecologist immediately to confirm what they were guessing was true or not. They gave the explosive news that probably Nita was a few weeks pregnant. Sujan blushed on hearing but was not totally surprised. Their relationship had become deep to reach the next level where they had become physical. Now it had become quite frequent. Recently, Nita had complained to Sujan saying that she was not keeping too well and was finding some change in her body. She had suggested to Sujan that now they must tell their families and arrange for their marriage. But Sujan was not prepared to be tied down in a marriage. He was enjoying his bachelorhood to the fullest with the bonus of love life of a married man.

Sheila openly reprimanded Sujan. She said that Sujan should take the responsibility of Nita immediately. She wanted to know who were the parents of Nita and they must call on them immediately for marriage talks before these sensational news are out in public domain. She said that the marriage had to be done immediately before Nita's body took further developments. 


Till now Sujan had never known who his father was. He had been brought up single mindedly by his mother of course with the support of his Maternal grandparents. Sujan had never been told who his father was and what type of a father was he. But he had always guessed that there must have been some dark secret regarding his father. 

He was told to get in touch with Nita's family and prepare a visit to her house by his family. 

One day after a lot of deliberations, Nita's family was ready to welcome Sujan and his family for talks regarding marriage. 

Sujan's family was seated in the drawing room and Nita had made arrangements for the guests. In a little while walked in Nita's parents. Then followed high drama. Sheila gave a shriek on seeing the couple and fell down to the ground and fainted. Sujan's grandfather shouted out, '' You scoundrel, not you again. '' Then he too fell down never to wake up again. 


A little later Sujan's grandfather was proclaimed brought dead by the city hospital. His mother was shifted to the intensive care unit as she had not recovered from the shock. For the next few days there was total turmoil in Sujan's life. His grandfather was gone and his mother battling a strange sickness. She would lose senses then to regain it within few hours. Nita would sometimes call him but her behaviour he found was quite cold and aloof. 

Sujan wanted to know what the real story was behind all this high drama. In a few days when things were a little settled then he learnt the full story from his grandmother. 


Sujan's father had been in an extramarital affair with his employee of his business house. Later when the lady employee was expecting a child from her relationship then Sujan's father was forcedly given in marriage to the woman. The local civic authority had played a role in the marriage so that the Unfortunate woman would be taken care of and also the unborn child. 

Sheila, Sujan's mother had walked out of the marriage after this and went to stay with her parents. From there she had taken care of Sujan and his education. But Sheila never gave divorce to her husband to avoid bad publicity and stigma. Sujan's father married the lady and from their union Nita was born. 

Sujan was spell bound to hear this 'absurd' story. He was getting confused with this relationship as he was helping the confusion to multiply.
