Back Home

We reached Raman’s house very early the following morning. The head of the South Indian family was shocked to see us there so early in the morning. However, he said, “Very good, so you have come. I have already arranged another house for me to stay in. I will get the key to the other house tomorrow. You will get your house back tomorrow evening. Please come in and have some tea.”

We had nothing to say because he had made everything so clear. We stepped inside.

Raman was deeply perturbed to see the condition of his house. The tenant had almost damaged the interior. We were shocked. It was so neat and clean when Raman lived there but now it was worse than a storehouse. Cobwebs were hanging from the ceiling and walls, torn papers were scattered all over the floor, old torn shoes and slippers were adorning one corner of the drawing room, and old furniture was spread all over the house. It seemed as if it had not been cleaned for five years. There was a kind of stink inside the house, as if several dead mice had been left around to stink.
