Chapter 132 – The Village Reckoning
Jay reached the station sharp at 6 PM. Sudhagaran had already arrived at the railway station to pick him up. On the way back to the village in the car, Jay had spotted a familiar vehicle that resembled Tharun’s, but he ignored it, pushing the thought aside. They reached the village home at 6:20 PM.
Everyone received him warmly — relatives, neighbours, and old friends gathered around, some patting his back, others offering words of welcome. The courtyard was alive with the energy of the family function, lights strung up, music playing softly in the background.
Sudhagaran got him inside the house. Almost all relatives had assembled. The air was thick with chatter and anticipation.
Suddenly, Sudhagaran stepped into the middle of the crowd and raised his voice.
“Attention, all!”
The room quieted.
“Dear family members, I want to inform you about an important decision.”
He gestured toward Jay.
“Mapillai, Jay — come here.”
When Jay stepped closer, Sudhagaran continued with a sly smile.
“I have decided to marry off my second daughter.”
Jay’s face tightened. He pulled his hand back sharply.
“No, uncle. Don’t do it. I’m not ready.”
Sudhagaran laughed loudly, turning to the crowd.
“Look, people! This loser thinks I’m going to give my daughter to him!”
Im marrying her to pilot, he would look exactly like him, thats why i asked him to come near me
This man thinks high of himself.
Jay started realising, Sudagaran has not changed, he is trying something to provoke him again.
Laughter all around from people who always looked down on Jay.
“You all know what? This person’s wife has run away. I was supposed to marry off my first daughter to him — glad it didn’t happen.”
Jay’s father interrupted, his voice rising.
“Who gave you the right to shame my son and his wife? What did we do wrong to you?”
You keep throwing dirt on us,
We understand, he didnt marry your daughter, but be careful you are just unnecessarily leaving out word on my daughter in law.
While Jay could not come up with a term thought what his father had been thinking about Nikitha, he could not open his mouth abut Nikitha.
He felt like punching Sudagaran for speaking Ill on Nikitha. But he doesn't want to reveal so much on her.
Sudhagaran smirked.
“Calm down. He came alone — ask him where his wife is. Will he answer? No. She is already sleeping with another man. They are roaming together, and she herself said this to me.”
Jay’s mother stepped forward, furious.
“You can’t spit venom just like that!”
“No, sister,” Sudhagaran replied coldly. “I want our father to see how unworthy Jay is.
He is trying to split and give his share of property to him? He doesn’t deserve it.”
How would i prove it?
By shaming and naming.
Im doing that, our fathers hard earned money should not go to your son even if that is a penny.
He turned to Sudhagaran and Jay's mothers father, his voice rising with venom.
Father, first he cheated our family by rejecting my daughter, ran off with a strange women.
Then i graciously went and got him home. But he was trying to extort money in name of loan.
Then “He challenged us and went to Bangalore. What happened? Did he complete his loan? He is still paying off his ass. He wanted to take every penny from your husband. I stopped it gladly years back.
Because he never play by or keep his promises.
Now you — wanted to include him as a shareholder in assets. I just want to tell the world how unworthy a son my sister had. is that wrong?”
May be Jay is exhibiting poor qualities of my sister and her husband.. may be he laughs...
A sharp kick.
Sudhagaran fell to the floor.
Jay couldn’t tolerate it any longer — the way Sudhagaran was shaming his parents. He had punched him hard on the chin.
Jay understood everything, all sudagaran trying to do was to take all asset for himself.
He realised, the first time he wanted to marry his elder daughter to him because, his grandfather would gave him the asset.
Now he had got a better alliance for second daughter already, he tricked Jay once again to come and shame him before his grandfather so that he wont give him a share.
“You asshole! If you want the property, just fall on my feet and my parents’. I will give it up. You are acting like a good man just to trick me into doing something like this? Shame me before the public? Ridicule me and use that to project me as worthless so you can take all the assets for you and your daughters? Is this what you have planned all the time?”
“I felt bad when Nikitha treated you badly, but now I realise how filthy you are. You don’t ever deserve decency.” Nikitha had been right you desever her treatment!
“Decency? You are teaching me? Your wife is roaming with someone and she is telling that to me on my face. Can you deny that? People, ask him where his wife is? She is not here. She won’t come here. You know what? She has already run with someone.”
He laughed mockingly.
Sudhagaran laughed through the pain, wiping blood from his lip.
Sudagaran roared to crowd, okay call me a greedy person, tell me i do all the things only for money. But can he prove he is not a shameless person, can you ask him to call his wife?
“Now who in the world will marry him? Forget the asset. My father will have decided it already. Okay, do one thing… Call and bring your wife. If she comes here, I will fall on your feet and give up all my cash to you. Are you ready?”
Jay’s voice was cold.
“I don’t need to prove my wife’s reputation for your greediness.”
Jay’s mother stepped in.
“Let him speak. But I will blame you on this. If you came along with your wife, will the scumbags like him speak?”
“Amma, that’s… that’s… she is actually busy,” Jay stammered.
His mother slapped him hard across the face.
“Whatever busy you are, you should have come with her. Look, she struggled to find the address.
“What do you mean?” Sudhagaran asked, confused.
And a loud voice came... from the distant inside house...
“Cash or cheque, how are you going to settle the cash bet, uncle? I won’t mind you falling on my feet…”
Everyone turned.
Nikitha walked out from the inner room, composed and graceful, wearing a simple yet elegant saree. She had already reached the village earlier and had been waiting inside Jay’s mother room.
The entire room fell into stunned silence.
Jay’s mother and Nikitha shared a knowing, subtle smile — a quiet understanding that hinted they had been working together from the start.
Sudhagaran’s face drained of color.
Jay reached the station sharp at 6 PM. Sudhagaran had already arrived at the railway station to pick him up. On the way back to the village in the car, Jay had spotted a familiar vehicle that resembled Tharun’s, but he ignored it, pushing the thought aside. They reached the village home at 6:20 PM.
