Large-Hearted

-Vellore Ve. Ramkumar

‘What did you say? What! You’re going to become the son-in-law of a millionaire? Then what would happen to Devaki? She is your beloved! And she is going to become a mother!’ Shankar asked Kuberan with all his anger.

‘For a middle-class man like me it’s a golden opportunity! After this marriage, she can be silenced by some giving some money. With money anything can be fixed, my friend!’

‘You call yourself a man! I’m ashamed to call you my friend!’ In angry mood, Shankar went away.

Kuberan and Kaviya got married!

The very first night...........

‘Kaviya! When I came to see you for the first time, I wanted to talk to you.’                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    ‘I too wanted to do some talking.'                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    ‘I loved one girl. Now she is pregnant! By giving some money to her......’                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          ‘OK! OK! I never thought that you’d talk so frankly!’

Kubran was surprised how such a serious issue she could ignore so easily!

‘When you are so frank, I too don’t like to conceal anything! When I was studying in France I had an affair with a guy and became pregnant! Of course I aborted! After coming to India, I had another affair and became pregnant! It was dangerous to go for abortion for the second time! So my marriage was fixed with you! I am lucky that I got a broad-minded and large-hearted husband like you!’

Kaviya kept on talking and Kuberan’s head was spinning!!!
