AN UNFINISHED SONG
This was good news for aunt. She ejaculated with delight:
"The bridegroom is himself coming! I thought his mother was coming first. But never mind that, times are changing and nowadays a young man must see his bride before marrying her. Let him see her then, that does not matter, but no further delays. The marriage must take place this month and no later."
My father agreed with her.
"That too is my wish," he replied.
