Chapter 12
Back at Shanta’s house, the whole family had gathered in the drawing room. Dickey handed over the carpet to shanta. She took it in hand and held it close to her heart.
She looked at Dickey and smiled.
He had done it again.
Dickey made a gallant bow, going down on one knee and grabbing her hand. Tenderly he kissed the shapely fingers.
‘Shanta, I am getting old. I can not waste rest of my life bailing you out of trouble. So please let me go’
Shanta said softly in his ears, ’You are the one holding on to my hand. You have to decide to let it go or not. And we all know what a great decision maker you are. For all your bulk, in the brains department you are still lagging. I love you, nevertheless. Now get up from the floor and give me a tight hug”
Dickey obliged as told.
That is Dickey for you, ever available, for ever helpful and for ever loving.
Let us say Amen to that.
