Payment in full

This was a week of feeling good.I was watching a Joint relief program when Sangavi walks in with a packet in her hand.She hands it to me saying from my first salary for you.I was taken aback.

I was at a loss for words.It was a saree.I said you should get it for your mother not me.She looked lovingly at me and said that it was because of me she landed a job. I told her your hard work paid off pat yourself not me.

Then we sat down and started talking for sometime.

I felt strangely happy that she is blossoming into a beautiful young woman with her head above her heart in the right place
