Angry Old Man

Mahabir's Anger

Mahabir Prasad is angry with his son. How could his son do that to him? How could his only son had shown the audacity of disobeying him? How could he went to the hospital to bring that woman and that wretched girl? Now he is more angry on his son. It may be his fault too. He could not even impregnate his wife in a proper manner so that she could give birth to a son.

His nostrils are red in anger. Whenever he was his very fair face turned red immediately. He is angry now too. With everybody. With his daughter-in-law, his son, even with his wife. His wife must encouraged that bastard son of her disobey his old father.

What is a dsughter to a family? Simply a burden. You have to get rid of her as soon as possible but only with lavish amount of dowry. Mahabir Prasad had three girls in whose marriage occassions he had to mortgage even his ancestral home. Even if all of his daughters got married in an well-to-do affluent family, but since then he started to hate the idea of having another girl child in the family.

"Fufffff...." He make a gesture of disgust and holds his 'chadi' (stick) strongly in his right man. Let his son comes in this house only once, he will beat him up. Just like he always beat him in his son's childhood whenever he came home late or failed in his examination. With a shrude smile on face Mahabir Prasad is waiting for his son to come to meet him.

Savitri's Despair

Savitriji is very worried. Worried sick. She knows her husband and his anger too well. Whenever he got angry no one could come near him. In the first year of their marriage, when she got pregnant with her first child, one

day her husband got so angry with her that he threw burning kerosene lamp on her. Luckily she did save her by ducking to her left side. But in an instance whole room got on fire. Even if for this incidence Mahabir Prasad was scolded and threatened hard by his parents, but till today he fails to change his nature.

Savitriji is praying to God for the wellbeing of her son, her daughter-in-law and her only granddaughter. She loves her 'Bahu' (daughter-in-law) very much for her sweet and sober nature. And she feels an attraction towards her granddaughter even if she could not see her face. She is in despair and praying hard so that everything goes right from now on.

Laxman's Fear

Laxman Prasad is well known about his father's uncontrolling rage. He knows that if he insists upon to bring his family at their ancestral home, then his father either disown him or force him to remarry abandoning his beautiful wife. His father has an inhuman rage and he beacuse of his hot-tempered nature he becomes angry every now and then. So it is practical to keep his family hidden from his father's eyes. Who knows he might kill his wife and newborn daughter both in rage. Laxman sighs hard simply by seeing no chance of reconciling his family. He has to wait and watch for his father to cool off. With time he has to cool down. And then only Laxman will bring his family with him. Yes he has to wait till then.
