Premalekhanam Chapter 4

“Saramma, at dawn I have to leave this place.” When it started getting dark, Keshavan Nair said: “Is there anything you have to say in the end?”

Saramma said:

“In these difficult times when life is yearningly youthful and the heart brimming over with love- some small questions!”

Keshavan Nair went all cold.

Saramma continued:

“Question one- Have you paid off all my father’s rent?”

“Yes.”

“Ok. Second question- the hotelwallah’s dues?”

“Yes.”

“Third question- Do you have money for travel expenses?”

“Yes.”

“Then one sub-question more- Where did the money come from?”

“I sold my wrist-watch and gold ring.”

“Good. So respected Keshavan Nair when he finally departs from this place, he shall for no reason whatsoever be remembered by anybody and for which I pay him my most sincere felicitations!” Saying this Saramma went away downstairs laughing softly and joyously.

Keshavan Nair called out with a breaking heart:

“Saramma!”

Who’s to hear? Kaathinyam ki paryaayam hoti hai stree! Tottal Dunkudu!! Dunkudu hoti hai stree!!!
