But where is Sulochana? Today, for three days, Haridyal, after eating, sleeping, worshiping, searching for passengers, searching for all the coughs, but could not get him out, then he came back home and slapped Shire and said, God! Is this unfortunate? What sin did I save in the end by going to please the orphan!

Kailashkhuro's house at the end of the alley. Haridyal came there and saw that there was no one. Called, uncle, are you home?

Seeing no one respond, he came into the room and saw Kailash sitting alone in the light of the lamp, adorned with satranchas; Said, uncle, playing chess alone?

Khura looked at him and said, S. Babaji, let's save this rice.

Haridayal was annoyed and cursed in his mind and said, his own caste does not survive, whether he says save chess rice!

The words entered Kailash's ears halfway, half not. Babaji asked, what ball?

I say, did you hear all about that day?

What's the matter

That's the trouble inside us that day!

Kailash said, no Babaji, I didn't hear well. The disturbances felt very slow; But that day I pressed your chess well!

Haridayal bowed his head in his mind and said, you pressed it, but you didn't hear anything?

Kailash thought for a moment and said, no, I almost didn't hear anything. What do you do when you hear so much noise? But what kind of game that day was jammed, remember? You could not save the minister at all. Well, this is it, let's see how to save it.

Haridayal was annoyed and said, let the minister in the oven! I ask, did you not hear anything that day?

Khura looked at Haridyal's annoyed face and this time he was a little embarrassed and said, "I don't know, Babaji, I don't remember anything."

Haridayal remained steadfast for a while and said seriously, "Well, if you don't do any work in this world, but the afterlife is worth it?"

Money!

However! Have you done any work in the past? Did you go to the temple for one day?

Kailash was surprised and said, what do you say Dayal, did not go to the temple! How many days have passed.

Dayal began to say with such seriousness, you have been a resident of Kashi for these twenty years, but it seems that you have not visited the Tagore for twenty days — the worship is a long way off!

Kailash protested and said, No Dayal, it will be more than twenty days; But you know, Babaji, if you don't have time, the pujotujos do not become. Don't look at this, you have to sit down with Shambhu Misir in the morning - that guy is good at playing.

As soon as this bet is over, it is noon, then it is time to cook and eat. Then Babaji, on the banks of the Ganges যাই whatever you say, the man's great admiration for the game — almost fascinated me that day. Horses and yards are pressed from two angles — I understand.

Ah, don't stop, don't dig, tell me what to do in the afternoon.

At noon! Don't look at the banks of the Ganges — its two yards — tomorrow.

Dayal was very annoyed and interrupted and said, "Hayeche, heyeche - at noon on the banks of the Ganges and in the evening after Mukunda Ghosh's sitting room - and where is your time!"

Kailash remained silent — Haridayal began to advise more seriously, but uncle, the day is not over. We should also be prepared for the hereafter, and we need to think about that. You can't take the chess piece with you anymore.

Kailash suddenly smiled and said, "No, Dayal, I feel like I can't take the chess bundle with me." And is Babaji talking about getting ready? I'm ready. The day the call comes, I will hand it over to someone and go straight — so what else is there to worry about?

Nothing? There is no fear?

Nothing, Babaji, nothing. The day Kamala left me, the day Kamalcharan closed his eyes on my face, from that day onwards the fears and anxieties went after them. 'Came with a sigh.

Dayal interrupted and said, stay with him. Will you listen to me now?

Ball Babaji.

Dayal then told the story of the day one by one and said, now the way?

On hearing this, Kailash's everlasting face turned pale. In a moaning voice he said, it doesn't happen, Haridyal. Sulochana was Sati-Savitri.

Dayal said, I thought so too, but everything is possible for women.

Shh, don't say that. As soon as a person commits sin, he does not see any difference between men and women. Babaji, don't you remember your mother, did she erase that memory completely?

Haridayal was embarrassed, but also annoyed, he said, looking down for a while, but now that caste is gone.

Kailash said, make an atonement. Is there no atonement for unknown sins?

Yes, but will the people here do that to me?

If you do

Haridayal became very angry and said, if you do! What are you talking about! Understand a little bit.

Understandably, Dayal! Your age is not less — I think it is over fifty. There was so much age, there were not two or four years left, Babaji, what is the harm in that?

No harm? Will be born, will be religion, will answer in the hereafter?

Kailash said, this would answer that an orphan had given shelter.

Haridyal began to think in silence. The word did not match his mind at all. He said after a while, but I will not give the address of Sulochana's son-in-law.

Nothing. A bad guy — drunk — he'll extort money from you out of fear, and he'll extort money from a gentleman, and you will help him?

But if I don't, everything goes to me! No host will come. What do I eat?

Kailash said, don't be afraid of him. I get a pension of twenty rupees for the welfare of Sarkar Bahadur, Khurovaipore will go there. We will eat and play chess, we will not leave the house.

Even though he was annoyed, Haridyal laughed like a boy and said, "Uncle, why should you take my burden on your neck, and why should I lose my religion in the next commotion?" Than:

Kailash said, that's right. Instead, by giving their names and addresses, a poor girl has to be deprived of her husband, family, honor, everything and save these old bones from being eaten by foxes and dogs! Save Gay Babaji, but he didn't do well when he came to tell me. But when you come to get the point, let me say one more thing. ৺Kasidham, the kingdom of mother Annapurna. Living here and following his chaste daughters will not be of much benefit to the father.

Haridayal said angrily, do you curse this time!

No. You are the panda of Kashi, the vehicle of the father himself, you will not need our curse সম্প you are not afraid of that, but the work you are trying to do, father, is not a very safe thing. Sati-Savitri is terrified. Dichchi reminded me of that. We've been playing chess together for a long time.

Haridyal did not answer, but got up and stood up.

Kailash said, Babaji, then you will not keep the word?

Haridyal said, you have to be crazy to talk about crazy.

Kailash remained silent, Haridyal came out.

Kailash pulled the chess bundle and tied the gland and thought to himself, I think he is right. My advice may not really work in the world. When people die, when there is a lack of people, someone comes to call - they have to burn. If there is a disease, it is necessary to call and take care of it. And Satranch comes to play. Kai, so old, no one ever came to consult!

But even after thinking for many nights, he could not decide why the thing as clear and crystal-clear as the light of the sun is not acceptable to the people, why the people of the world could not understand this simple clear language.

That night, after much thought, Haridayal settled his mind and wrote a letter to Chandranath's uncle, Mani Shankar, stating that Chandranath had voluntarily married a prostitute and taken her home.
