About two weeks after the conversation recorded in the previous section a gala function was taking place in one of the very special halls in Mumbai. Many multimillionaire mill owners graced the function, and their wives provided glitter to the occasion.
A raised section of the platform was for the VIPs, and Kiran was bustling about. Raman was there of course. His duty was to see that the elite among the guests were comfortable. Subbu was at floor level along with the lesser lights. In her traditional Conjeevaram sari she was a stand out.
Then something unusual happened that got the women on the floor befuddled.
Kiran, one of the biggest of the big ladies, literally came down to move on terms of familiarity with a mere assistant manager's wife.
Kiran must have espied Subbu in the crowd for she made straight for her. She pulled her to one side and said something to her in a conspiratorial whisper.
They both laughed.
The befuddlement of the women on the floor of the hall would have been total if they had heard the conversation between the two.
This was what they spoke:
"Subbu I am excited."
"You mean our plan is working?"
"Your plan Subbu, don't mistake that. It's working wonders. I am in the thick of a second honeymoon. I'll tell you all tomorrow."
"Congratulations madam."
"Thanks, but about his preference, I suspect he wants it natural"
"Why do you say that, madam?"
"He did not comment, but what he did the next evening is significant. He presented me with a big bottle of hair growth lotion!"
