But, 2 days before he had to join duty, he had got married and had agreed to the 2 month replacement job, as he wanted to ‘honeymoon’ in Mumbai with his just-married wife. Besides the money I was offering was almost double than what he earned in UP.
Raja and his newly married wife arrived at our house early on a Saturday morning and after a brief introduction by his uncle to take over, my regular driver left for the station. I noticed that Raja was about 24 - 26 years old and looked childish. His newly married wife wore a burka and a viel covered her face.

I was told later by my wife that her name is Nasreen. She seemed to be about 5 ft tall and thin as a wisp. The only exposed part of her body which I got a glimpse of were her mehendi covered hands. Her skin was so white that it looked pale.
