―So what is wrong with that?‖ said Mantharaa smiling.<br />

―Never mind the wrong‖, Hanumaanji said with a light kick. ―You dare even stare at me.<br />

And listen, tomorrow when the Lord asks your consent to marry, then clearly say no – did<br />

you hear?‖<br />

With the very light kick, Mantharaa felt dizzy. She was just stunned. She thought better<br />

not to be clever, else a hard kick could be fatal. So clasping her hands she said: ―Brother<br />

Hanumaan. Just as you have said, I will reply to the Lord, but please do not hurt me.‖<br />

―OK, and another thing‖, said Hanumaanji turning back, ―and you will not thell the Lord<br />

that I have met you – did you hear? Else …‖<br />

―Very well brother.‖ Mantharaa said in short.<br />

―Brother‘s sister!‖, said Mahaavirji, raising his fist. ―If you consent to marry, or if you<br />

tell the Lord I met you here, then with this fist I will deliver you, understand?‖<br />

―Yes, I have understood, brother. I have understood. But please go now. I bow to your<br />

feet.‖<br />

―Bow to the feet of the Lord.‖ Sayiung thus, Hanumaanji returned to his bedroom, and<br />

peacefully went to sleep.<br />

Next day at the same time, after finishing his lunch the Lord was excercising his hands<br />

and. Sitaaji was preparing tambul refreshment for the Lord. And as per his daily duty,<br />

Mahaavirji was fanning the Lord, whereupon Sitaaji with a mild smile said: Arya son, as<br />

per yesterday‘s decision, shall we call Mantharaa?‖ Saying thus she got a maid to fetch.<br />

The maid immediately arrived with Mantharaa.<br />

The Lord asked Mantharaa: ―Mantharaa, what if we arrange your marriage to Hanumaan?<br />

How do you feel about that?‖<br />

Sitaaji also same time said: ―Mantharaa say Yes. By merely saying yes you will become<br />

my sister-in-law.‖<br />

Bowing to the fee of Sitaaji, Mantharaa said: ―Mataaji, forgive me.I do not wish to<br />

forsake being a maid to become your sister-in-law. Hanumaan is my considered brother.‖<br />

Hanumanji sighed breath of relief.. With a mild smile, Sitaajibade farewell to Mantharaa.<br />

Hanumaanji was now relaxed. His celibacy vow remained intact, and there was break in<br />

carrying out the Lord‘s command. With this thought he was immersed in a feeling of joy.<br />

But just then he heard the sweet sound of Sitaaji: ―Hanumaanji, if not Mantharaa, then it<br />

is my wish perhaps you can marry a female from the monkeys. Youur bride‘s name be<br />

whatever, but I shall call her Hanumati. Say, will you obey?‖<br />
