DISMISSED DIVORCE CASE

“Wow, Mr. Sanjay, this is the first time, in my life, I am handling this kind of “Divorce” case. You have lodged a divorce case, due to some funny reasons, said, the “Arindam”, the famous divorce lawyer.

Sanjay: - Look, “Arindam”, you will be given enough money; you just need to do your job.

Arindam: - Can I speak to your wife now?

Sanjay: - Of course, why not.

Arindam: - Well “Shalini”, within a span of 3 months of your marriage, what went wrong suddenly?

Shalini: - “Arindam”, the problem is not me; it’s my father “Subburaj”. I also get to know that, he is not a government employee, he is a street beggar. He begs every day, in the streets, far away from our locality, and earns money. “Sanjay” came to know about my father, and his family do not want me as his housewife, due to some ‘status’ problem in the society.

Arindam: - Oh, that is why, your father “Subburaj” is also present here. Well, “Sir”, can you please clarify to us, why suddenly you choose this “Begging” as your profession, and how much do you earn.

Subburaj: - In a city like “Mumbai”, you will earn at least Rs. 700 – Rs.1000/- per day. Then, if you can earn that amount, by only begging, without any hard work, why not go for that profession. Today, what will you do with your “Status”, if you do not have money to feed yourself twice a day?

Arindam: - My goodness, you are feeling happy and proud to be a beggar. Uff, that sounds horrible. Ok, if you are so proud of your profession, then why you have not told to anyone, even to your own family members also.

Subburaj: - If I would have told that, no one would have accepted my daughter in good modern schools and colleges. Today, my daughter is a “HR Manager” of a reputed company. I am proud of my daughter. My earnings through begging, has proved to be a fruitful one.

Arindam:- But, what will happen now, if this case goes to the High Court or Media, it will be disclosed, and your daughter will be in trouble.

Subburaj:- I don’t know, Arindam, but , I only know that I begged throughout my life as a beggar, to prevent my daughter to become a beggar like me.

Arindam: - Wow, that’s great boss. Ei Shalini, you should be proud of your father. He is your real fantastic father, yaar. Forget this idiot “Sanjay”. If he wants a divorce, you accept it. I will marry you after that.

Sanjay:-Just hang on, “Arindam”; I want to take the correct decision. Give me some time.

Shalini: - You have only 5 minutes time to take the correct decision. Otherwise, I will have no option, other than to marry “Arindam”.

Sanjay: - Ok, done, I don’t want a divorce.

Arindam: - Hurrah!, my operation is successful. This is a “Dismissed Divorce Case”now. Let me tell you one thing, “Sanjay”, I was the classmate of “Shalini” in school. So, as a friend, I have just done my duty. Take your money back, and go and live happily. Best Wishes!!!
