Jaya flicked a glance at her daughter. Ananta had fallen asleep. Finally. Jaya stepped out to the veranda and dialled her brother’s number. There was something else she needed to do tonight. “Anna, I need one more help from you.”

“Tell me.”

“But first, Kovid.”

“He told me to let you know that he’s happy to go ahead with the wedding.”

“Why not tell me himself?”

“He’s been running around making arrangements, Jaya. I’m sure his atrocious Telugu isn’t helping.”

Jaya laughed.

“What do you need from me?”

“I’ll give you my FDs tomorrow. Encash them. I SMSed Satyanarayana at the bank and asked him to give you the money.” The advantages of living in a place where your roots dug deep.

“Ananta’s college fund?”

“Yeah. Can you find a way to give it to my in-laws?” She flushed, clearing her throat. “Uh, Anant’s parents, I mean.” It was embarrassing that, in a few hours, she’d have a new set of in-laws.

Madhav was silent for a long moment. “Are you sure?”

“Ananta’s young. I’ll save up again, or take loans, or whatever. Plenty of people do that.”

“Why the urgency?” Madhav said. “With so much going on?”

“Well,” Jaya said carefully. “Once I’m married, I might not be able to give them the money. I’m not saying Kovid or his parents are that kind of people, but…”

“I was always proud of you, Jaya. But now…” Madhav’s voice thickened. “Be happy, little sister.”
