The story so far...
Bhagwaan is hated by his sister-in-law(SIL) who is town for a few days. While trying to help his maidservant , who got a shock while operating the vacuum cleaner, he fell into the maidservant's arms and SIL walked in at that time and immediately felt he was being untrue..Now Bhagyawaan (his wife) walks in...Read on...
For a minute, Bhagyawaan was surprised to see SIL towering over Bhagwaan but seeing the expression of her lesser half, she realized something must have happened.
Bhagyawaan: "What is happening?"
Bhagwaan: Ahem..Ahem..shock, vacuum..servant...Err...Mistake
Bhagyawaan: What the hell are you blabbering? Guess the Amarula that you had yesterday has not worn off..
SIL: Bhagwaan fell into the maid's arms and claims it was an accident (she did have a good way of summarizing)
Bhagyawaan: Oh ho..now I get it...let me call my mother and lawyer...
Now Bhagwaan was tense..calling a lawyer was still okay but her mother was on a different level altogether...He realized he now had to call superior powers and went straight to Ganesha and prayed..Usual terms and conditions were discussed - Rs 101/- and coconut-fruits at the temple..
The next day, the sun was shining outside but Bhagwaan's mind had dark clouds with no silver linings. He could hear Bhagyawaan and SIL telling their mother a dramatized version of the incident.
He opened his mails - at least they sounded interesting. Someone called Ogumba had been left a fortune and wanted to share the money with Bhagwaan (how nice this man was...). He just wanted Rs 20,000 to help in the transfer which Bhagwaan promptly did...Some girl called Sonali wanted to make fraanship with him having seen his profile on Facebook. She was just 22 and a model apparently. He immediately wrote back to her (of course correcting her spelling - these kids don't even know how to spell friendship). He then went to Facebook and pressed Like on about 15 posts (especially the ones of women and kittens and some messages with flowers)...
He then heard the door bell ring...Bhagywaan had gone out to meet her lawyer and Bhagwaan and SIL were alone at home. He ignored it hoping the person would go away...But the caller was persistent..he kept ringing the bell. Bhagwaan heard SIL open the door and then heard a loud shriek. He immediately ran out and behold! He saw the most incongruous sight in the world - SIL was in the Dhobi's arms!!! The Dhobi looked as if he was being crushed by SIL's weight....
Bhagwaan: Well..Well...Washing your dirty linen in public, eh? (Bhagwaan had a pathetic sense of humor)
SIL: It was an accident totally...this was not intentional
(The third party in the scene had scampered off realizing that his absence was for the best)
Bhagwaan: That's what I said yesterday and you did not believe me! Pshaw! (and meant it to sting)
SIL: I slipped and fell
Bhagwaan: Likely story...now I need to tell Bhagyawaan about this...I'm sure she will be very interested to know how you fell for a Dhobi...
SIL: Bhagwaan - please - don't do that...I am telling the truth..
Bhagwaan: I wont tell if YOU tell me the truth and I believe it
SIL: Well..I was opening the door and suddenly I saw a mouse run into the house..You know how scared I am of mice..in that fright, I jumped and fell into the dhobi's arms..You have to believe me...
Bhagwaan was about to scoff at this and suddenly remembered his prayer to Ganesha. Of course, the mouse was Ganesha's mount - Mushika..so HE must have sent it to help Bhagwaan...
Bhagwaan: I believe you
SIL: What? You actually do? I am amazed..Thanks for that..Actually, I confess - I knew that your episode yesterday was an accident. I told Bhagyawaan a lie just to get you into trouble. Sorry about that...
Bhagwaan: That's ok as long as you clarify it to her...
SIL: I will do that...
And true to her word, SIL had some words with Bhagyawaan and Bhagwaan was back to his old marital bliss...He did fulfill the conditions to Ganesha..Now he is waiting for Ogumba to send him the share of his vast fortune..Now, THAT, my dear readers..is a whole different story...
