Resumo de I Say No To Divorce-8 - Chandrakant Mallya

Once his original blood pressure level recouped, he said,"Are you listening to me Meru? I won't be afraid to untie the knots of my mind before you and I know that only you can be of help to me. Your words carry weight . You are listened and respected. I confess to a weakness for Gulab and the weakness has further strengthened during the course of last nine years! I have suffered a lot silently. Gulab has stabbed me with the golden knife of her beauty, without her knowing that she has fatally stabbed me, with her first step on the Nautanki stage! It is you, who were sitting with me then, in the front row, if you recollect! She was a baby then. Now, a flower in full bloom. After all, Meru, what is she? Daughter of a prostitute. I even met her mother at Agra. Initially, she was rude to me. I met her a numbr of times over the years, with lots of cash presents, a costly diamond necklace and many things. Now, she is sympathetic and understanding...but she could not convince her daughter. "Let it be Seth alone, what's wrong in it?" she is reported to have pleaded with her daughter. "Will Seth marry me?...Ask him," was Gulab's reply. That means she too likes me. But tell me Meru, I belong to Bania caste. Married, having four children. How can I marry a prostitute's daughter? How can I show my face to the Bania community? But her mother swears.."Gulab is the daughter of a Agra Bania....if you accept her as your wife, I will reveal the identity of that man. From the day he came to me first, I haven't craved for any other man. He keeps me happy on all counts, meets my cash demands and kind rfequirements. My daughter doesn't stay with me. She has her own apartment in a respectable locality of Agra. She is interested in her dancing career only and hates men....but loves some particular individuals. Yes, she always mentions the names of Shridhar Pandit and Meru Pahelwan., with reverance..." Tota Seth wanted to be cross-examined by his friend, to keep up the momentum of conversation."My dear friend," said Meru in a conciliatory tone. A part of his mnd advised him to tell his friend to have a second look at his all-bulging limbs, but she controlled himself and said," I never imagined that you are mentally involved with her so deep." He was not condemnatory, but understanding. He knew a good individual sat beside him, but for this weakness. "I can.t help my friend in this area,"Meru philosophized. "Remember always friend, beautiful women adore physical strength(was he having in mind, the pot-belly of Seth)and strength of character, and what is Gulab today, her status I mean? Forget that you promoted her troupe, nine years ago, when she was an unknown entity. At the moment, she seems to enjoy the dizzy heights of her success. What's the current situation? Today, millionaires are willing to 'own' her , be the slaves of her physical charms,behind the closed doors. But look at the dedication of that girl, for the art she loves and practises...and still she is prepared to marry you, in spite of the age gap of twentyfive years! Perhaps she likes your modesty and straightforwardness. She sends 'rakhee' to Pandit Ji and me. Now, you be the judge and give the final verdict on the subject . Be a good guide to her. Be happy in her decent association once in a year, during Nautanki Celebrations! Will that girl ever marry? At the moment, she seems to enjoy the dizzy heights of her success. She doesn't crave wealth and she will never be prepared to ruin your family life. Friend, think cooly and try to control yourself."**When that beautiful, craving baby of fifteen years saw Meru Pahelwan for the first time, she took a liking for him,not without a reason.How was Meru Pahelwan then? Body exercised to perfection, small blinking eyes, muscles toned by boxing lessons, oval face of whitish comnplexion. 6' + tall, must be from a rich landlord family. Otherwise, how could he occupy the first-row, behind the low platform at the front of the stage, adjarchestra of the Nautanki troupe!
