A visibly shaken
Pinky whispered;
stuttering into her
mother’s ear.
“Yes!” said her
unfazed mother.
Nothing mattered to

stuck up daughter
was getting married.

“Oh no! Not her! Never!” shouted Pinky.
“Hey Bhagwan! Yeh kya kiya,Beta?” (Oh
God! what did you do?) wailed the
matchmaker.
“Oh Yes!” shouted Karma with glee. No
one messes with Karma, the powerful,
the potent, the ultimate matchmaker.

Mr. and Mrs.
Varshney, Bablu and
a feminine silhouette
trudging cautiously
behind in the dim
light. Pinky peered
from inside but it
was too dark outside
to see the guests
clearly.
The company moved
into the lighted patio.
The gait of the
female figure looked
too familiar.
It was the match
maker!
“Is ssshe the mother
of the bbboy???”
