The other day, a relative of mine phoned me to share his joy with me in getting his daughter engaged. I used all words I knew to appreciate and congratulate him. But I had to try hard that he should not know the air of apprehensions that leaped over my mind while I talked with him. A marriage in the family should have enthralled me, even if I could not attend it. Since it is happening very soon; I cannot avail leave to attend it. However, I cannot attend the wedding is not from where the apprehensions have leaped up.
