CHAPTER - 3

3 Years after his graduation Louise got a job in a pvt. Bank as a staff clerk. Now his parents started searching for a matching girl for him. After nearly one and half years they found a girl.

Marriage was performed as per the programme, but an unfortunate thing happened on the first night that startled and shocked every body.

The boy and the girl entered their room at night. As Louise looked at his wife , he found Roomy sitting on the bed and not the girl whom he had married. Louise was frightened stiff, jumped down from the bed, and came out of the room.

He was profusely sweating out of fear and his face became pale. He told every body who was present there, " I would not accept this girl, tell her to go back home tomorrow."

Every body was dumb struck to listen to him, they asked why?, what happened,?, What was wrong with the girl?.

But Louise could not give any reply, he only kept saying that he could not accept the girl.

At last they called for the girl's parents. They came but they were immensely shocked to listen to Louise. Father of the girl asked ," what is wrong with my daughter,? Louise would not give any answer.

By nature, Louise was rough and rude . When the father kept pestering him for an answer, he reacted and said,"Don't pester me, " I said I would not accept her, that is final.

But her father became tough he replied, "you had married my daughter, you cannot reject her, it is not a child's play." He went to the police station and called the police.

Police also asked the same question to Louise, but he could not give any convincing answer. They explained that the marriage has been performed legally, so he cannot reject the girl whimsically . Police said " We have to arrest you."

Louise became soft and said, " OK I am prepared to pay the compensation." The girl's father thought for a while and demanded a h u g e amount as compensation. He justified it saying , " My daughter has been spoiled , she cannot marry again, so, this money is necessary for her support through out her life.

Police gave them 15 days to pay the amount, other wise, he will be arrested. But Louise's father clearly said that he was unable to pay the amount. Finally, to save his only son, they decided to sell heir house.

The entire amount which they had got by selling the house was paid as compensation. Thus Louise lost their own house and started living in a rented house which became a recurring expense every month.

The parents of Louise became very angry for this unnecessary rudeness of their son for which they had to .lose their house, which was their only asset.

But Louiise is their only son and after his retirement they will have to depend upon their son, therefore, they avoided making their relation bitter, and accepted this loss as their fate and kept quiet.
