Sadana was correcting papers in
the staff room. Suddenly her mobile received a message. She opened that message
and it was sent by Chalapathi. He invited her to come to his home at evening
and he mentioned that his wife is out of station. After reading these messages,
Sadana stopped correcting papers and just closed her eyes. Then she remembered
her first meet with Chalapathi.
Chalapathi
is a lawyer. Instead of being in court, he mostly roams in schools and colleges.
He gives wonderful speeches about human values. He worries about the humanity
which is reducing in the people day by day. He teaches the students about how
to be a good citizen in future. By listening to his speech in the school, Sadana
was impressed. He noticed this and he met Sadana & tried to know her
opinion about the speech given by him. Sadana replied that the speech was
awesome. Then Chalapathi said “ Sadana that is for the society and co-operation
of teachers like you is very important and helpful. So soon we are going to
conduct one seminar for lecturers and teachers, you have to be a part of it. Give
me your number, I will intimate you’re the date and time when they get fix”. Sadana
gave her number to him and he saved it in his mobile.
Later
he didn’t intimate anything about the seminar but he used to invite her for
every speech he give. According to the leisure time Sadana get, she used to
attend his speeches. Slowly Sadana and Chalapathi became close friends, Sadana
used to attend every program in lalitha kalaparishad auditorium with Chalapathi.
There Chalapathi used to sit beside Sadana and used to hold her hand. Sadana
never said anything though she knows that Chalapathi is married and has a child.
Sadana used to feel herovership towards Chalapathi. In earlier, she used to
fear that her students or anyone she know may see them both. But within few
days, her fear gone and she became much daring.
Sadana
started feeling that after 5 years of her divorce, she got a chance to fulfill her
all desires. Chalapathi has become more advance when compare to Sadana.
Therefore, Chalapathi has become closer to Sadana. He invites Sadana, when his
wife is out of station. This is a day which she is waiting for but she has some
fear in her mind.
On
Sunday afternoon, while watching Tv Sadana received a message in the mobile. She
expected that message is from Chalapathi and it was sent by Chalapathi. In the
message he said that a beautiful girl, you will be in my home at evening” in
very poetic and romantic manner. Immediately, Sadana off the TV and seeing
herself in the mirror. Within 15 minutes she got ready. Chalapathi told her that
he will meet her at Lalitha kalaparishad auditorium and from there he will take
her to his house. There is only 5 minutes more for 5’oclock, so she rushed
toward the door, when she opened the door she became disappointed by seeing the
person at the door. That person is Ramani who is a sister of Sadana’s best
friend Mamatha.
By
noticing the disappointment on the face of Sadana, Ramani was surprised and
asked “What happened Sadana, whenever I come you used to feel so happy but now
you are looking disappointed, what is the matter is there any problem?” Sadana
replied “Nothing, by seeing you suddenly, I was surprised” and Sadana asked Ramani
to come inside. Sadana brought artificial smile on to her face. Ramani said” I
think you are going to shopping or movie, so don’t cancel the program due to
me. You carry on, I will just take rest and I am habitual of your house”. Sadana
replied “ok sister as you wish, you can use anything in my house”. Sadana does
not know how much time takes to come back. She got one chance to full fill her
desire but leaving her sister alone for more time in the house won’t look good.
So Sadana was thinking. Then Ramani said “ Sadana don’t worry about me”. Sadana
replied “I will come soon”.
Sadana
started from her house by walk, later she took auto to go to lalitha
kalaparishad auditorium. While going in auto she called Chalapathi and she
heard that his phone is switched off. Finally she reached the auditorium. She searched
for Chalapathi and his car. But she could not find. She felt that as she made
late, so he became angry. She waited for few minutes and came back home. When
she pressed the calling bell, Ramani opened the door and asked “Sadana your
shopping over this much early?”. Sadana replied “ No sister, my friends
relatives came itseems, so we will go tomorrow”. Ramani said “your same
uncomfortability you friend also facing”. Ramani said “Sadana after you went
out, a person name Chalapathi has come to your house and asked about you. I
told you went out so he went away”. By listening this Sadana scolded Ramani in
her mind for spoiling whole program?
Later
Sadana messaged to Chalapati about the reason of her late and Chalapathi
replied that his mobile has no charging & He will take Sadana to his house
the next day. By seeing his message Sadana felt happy.
Later
after dinner, Sadana asked Ramani, that when she came from Kurnool to ananthapuram?
Then Ramani replied that she came morning and she said she has a cousin in
ananthapuram and she is divorced. Now working in a bank. She has an affair with
her colleague. Her name is Saroja. They used to meet in a hotel it seems. His
colleague posturized those scenes for fun and these scenes went into others
hands. Therefore, those reached internet. As Saroja felt insulted, she left the
ananthapuram but parents are suffering a lot due to her. To support her parents
she came to ananathapuram. Then Sadana said that though the mistake is from
both sides, but punishment is only for women. This is really bad. Ramani
replied Sadana, no on punished saroja, she herself punished her as she felt he
has done a mistake. So she left ananathapuram.
That’s why our elders say “Don’t think once before you perform a good
deed and think 10 times before you commit a mistake”. Sex is a biological need. As human need food,
in the same way they need sex also. Actually for anything there will be a
systematic way. Suppose Sadana, if you want to purchase gold bangles what you
will do? Sadana replied that she will get money from her salary or from bank to
purchase them. Then Ramani replied, your idea is good, so we purchase it but we
won’t steel. So to full fill such desires there is a way, which way is marriage”.
Then Sadana said “it is not that easy”. Ramani said “It is not that hard also
dear. Now the society changed. Everything got developed. The divorced and widow
women are standing on their foot by doing some job. There are many men who are good
and come forward to take care of such women”. Then Sadana replied “we should
get the person according to our Interest”. Ramani said, “Such person will
surely come. We just need to compromise in few things like when we want
something then we need to lose something. If you get the person according to
your interest then you are lucky”. Sadana replied one a person gets fail in life
then they won’t dare to take risk again”. Ramani replied “when people have to
maintain affair then why can’t they use that daring for settling their life.
For having affair there is no need of any relationship as they can continue or
cut suddenly. But if married, it takes few months to understand the husband. So
in affair, with in less time how people analyses whole characters of the
person, health, thoughts etc. as now cc cameras, video cameras, internet and
technology, AID disease are around us. So such relations are very dangerous. In
marriage, we will have good health and peace of mind. Moreover, there is no
need to weight for the chance which occurs rarely. The society is very harsh.
If we do our work calmly also they will point us”. Then Sadana said “How
society have right to talk about our personals”. Ramani replied “Do you
remember Sadana, the servant maid in your house always used to get beating from
her drunken husband. By seeing her, you used to become anger and you used to
scold her husband. So tell me what right you have to talk about his personals”.
By listening these words Sadana has no words to say.
Later
Sadana replied “I used to get angry as a women used to get hurt mentally and physically.
Any way the affair occurs with the acceptance of both the people”. Ramani
replied “In affair people are not suffering”. Sadana by laughing said sister
once up on a time I saw you with revolutionary emotions but why you became like
this. Ramani replied” Sadana , now also I have such emotions. I use them in
taking care of people who are related to me who are going on wrong way in life
and If I know about saroja before itself then I would made her go on right path”.
In the mean while Ramani’s husband called her. So the conversation between Ramani
and Sadana got stopped.
That
night, Sadana didn’t get sleep at all. By remembering about saroja, she became
bit scare. Then she started thinking about Chalapathi. Chalapathi always used
to say about his greatness and he never asked about Sadana and her problems. He
never said about his wife and children. Whenever he calls Sadana, She should
meet him or else he will become anger. If Sadana is ill, also he will force her
to meet him. Later she remembers his friend vidhya sagar. Actually vidhya sagar
is a lawyer. He helped Sadana a lot in her divorce case. So few days before he
called her and asked her what kind of friendship she have with Chalapathi? Sadana
asked him that why he is asked like
that. Then vidhya sagar replied “Chalapathi has no good name in lawyer circle.
He is a drunker and maniac. Try to maintain distance from him. Then Sadana
shouted on vidya sagar angrily saying “who are you to ask my personals”. Vidhya
sagar felt bad and said sorry and told that in the lawyer circle people are
talking cheaply about Chalapathi and her, the he kept the phone.
After
listening to the words of Ramani, Sadana felt it is good to maintain distance
from Chalapathi for few days. Next day morning, while Ramani was starting to
go, she said “Sadana why don’t you get marry”. Then Sadana said do you feel
that I become like your cousin saroja? Ramani said no Sadana your mother looked
after you with lot discipline and she always tells that you will never do
anything which makes her head bow with shy. But living alone in life is very
difficult. Having someone in life gives meaning to the life. Sadana said but
that company should not be a punishment again. Ramani replied, Sadana never
think that same thing happened again. So just determine infront of god that you
will get good husband. Then that good day will come soon. After Ramani went, Sadana
came into the house and thinking about Ramani’s words. Sadana remembered her
mother’s words. Having people who say good to us is our luck and not listening
to those people is unlucky. Finally Sadana decided to follow her mother’s
words.
After
some time, she Chalapathi called Sadana, but she didn’t receive his call and
went to school. Chalapathi called her again, and then she just cut the call.
She felt, if she stays at home, he may come. So she started walking outside
then she found a temple and went inside. Then she remembered Ramani’s words and
she joined her hands & closed her eyes with a lot of devotion. On the next day,
early morning some unknown person rang calling bell. When Sadana opened the
door, there was an unknown person. First the unknown person gave his apology
for disturbing the sleep and then he introduced himself. He said they are newly
came to the beside portion for rent, he bought all the things to prepare sweet
but he forgot lighter. So he asked Sadana for lighter. He said that he will
give the lighter within 15 minutes. But Sadana said that she have another one
so he can give after his work. He said his name is Chandra. He and his mother
came to stay in that portion. Whenever Sadana get leisure, he told to accompany
his mother as she will be alone in the home when he go to office. Sadana with a
smile closed the door.
Day
by day Sadana and Chandra have become close friends. Chandra is a clert in irrigation
department and he is a innocent persona also. He loves his mother a lot. When Sadana
heard that Chandra’s wife left him, she was shock. Then she asked about this to
Chandra’s mother. Chandra’s mother said it is true. Chandra always sees well in
others. He was a very good husband of Priya, his wife. But Priya is not satisfied.
She wants to have cars and palaces. So she left him. But Chandra always been well
with Priya though Priya never been at home. Sadana felt so pitty, and asked how
Chandra came out of this shock. Chandra’s mother replied “he became so dull.
Morning’s he used to forget in office work but at night he used to cry a lot.
As I couldn’t see her tears, so I went to Priya and requested her to come back
but she denied coming”. Sadana asked where is she now. Chandra’s mother said “Don’t
know. The person who is with her has left her. But she has no reputation to
come back so went somewhere. Sadana asked if she comes back, will you accept her.
Chandra’s mother replied “Chandra will surely accept as I said he is an
innocent person and I always want his happiness. He even made all trials to
know where she is”.
When
Chandra used to come late, Sadana used to scold him as his mother is alone in
the house. Then Chandra used to say when I cannot justice myself then only I can
ask god to do justice. Sadana started liking his thoughts and emotions. On one
day Chandra’s mother asked Sadana about her opinion on Chandra. She even said
that she and her son like her and her behavior. Why don’t you marry him? Sadana
asked time to think about it. The next day Chandra’s mother asked Sadana, Sadana
replied as you wish mother in law.
After
getting married Sadana and Chandra went to Lalitha Kalaparishad to watch some
program. There Sadana found Chandra talking with Chalapathi and Chalapathi with
another lady who is unknown to Sadana. By seeing Chalapathi, Sadana turned her
face to other side. When Chandra came to Sadana, with lot of fear she asked him
that do he know Chalapathi, and then Chandra replied he is the one who
separated him and Priya. In the mean while she got a doubt that Chalapathi may
say something about her. So she asked what he is talking with you. Chandra
replied that you are very close to him and I should be careful it seems. Then Sadana
asked Chandra, what he replied to Chalapathi. Chandra replied “she is not Priya”. At that time Sadana’s eyes were filled with
tears and with lot of affection she took his hands into her hands.
