| The
Nerve-Shattering DayThe last three days, too,
passed. To Savithri those three days were like three moments. The day which she feared
most, the day the very thought of which made her soul shiver, dawned! The previous night
her agony knew no bounds. She could not be in one place, but kept moving restlessly. There
was a mine of anguish in her heart.
Morning came! Words cannot describe her agony. But Savithri did not forget her daily duties. She assisted the elders in the worship of the family deities. She served her father-in-law and mother-in-law. She gave them food. She bowed down to elders and touched their feet. They blessed Savithri saying, "May you live long with your husband!’ Savithri felt that the words of the great sages would never be falsified, for they are men of truth. She hoped and prayed that their blessings would come true. Sathyavantha’s death was so close. There were but a few moments left to count! |
