Richa, who works in her office, had the same condition. Ravi used to treat Richa like other girls working in the office. At first, Richa also considered him like other boys, but gradually she felt Ravi is different from others and a boy with a sense of responsibility.

Richa was also very good at studies in college. Apart from being good looking, she also brought good numbers in the class. For this reason, in addition to the girls of the class, boys also used to be forward to be her friend. And some even reached her house.

Sunil who studied with Richa in her college, comes top in studies in class. He is completely different from others. The reason was simple, he was from a poor household.

He had all the responsibility of the family, which, he give home tuition and coaching to the needy children in the evening with the money he got from them. He had his life only in studies. Unlike others, he think that after completing his education, he could get his job anywhere, so that the expenses of the house could be run a little.

He was completing his studies with the scholarship money. He was looking for any chance that he could get a job.

Sunil needed a note during his studies. Richa was also in the same situation. When they needed the notes, the notes were exchanged with Sunil. During this time, both of them meet at the college campus, sometimes in the park or even at Richa's house.

Sunil was a boy who loved simplicity. And used to mean his work. Like other boys, he was not playful. This was why Richa started liking him. Sunil also started liking Richa, but both of them never let each other know about it.

Before Sunil could say anything, he used to think about his poverty, his economic condition. Therefore, before anything came to his lips, he used to turn his mind elsewhere. The poor have only one shelter, they should get money from somewhere, so that the next day's arrangements can be made.

Poverty was overshadowed by love. Neither Sunil ever took the initiative nor Richa teased him.

Richa never said anything to him, but his friend used to tease her sometimes, taking Sunil's name. After college, Sunil and Richa parted ways. Both got busy with their work.

As Suruchi grew older, she, now, had trouble with household chores. When Ravi saw this, he asked her to hire a servant for work. So she replied, "I have no need of a servant or a maid, but a daughter-in-law now." Ravi used to laugh and say, "I don't know whether a girl has been found yet, some mother may be found somewhere."

Ravi had no other siblings. There was no other talker in the house except the parents. Ravi's parents did not feel any need to give birth to any more children after Ravi's birth.

He left no stone unturned from Ravi's upbringing to education. Ravi's mother also wanted that any girl found for Ravi should be cultured and take care of the dignity of the house.
