A different buyer

Vilochan sat in the verandah before his house while thinking deeply in himself. There was a tape recorder in his hands. He was looking for a buyer who has to come there to buy it. For the last one month or so they were selling one after one all the articles in their home. This was the last valuable article left to sell. After selling this also, they did not know which thing to put on sale.

Everything was alright in their home until his only son died six months back in a road accident. He used to work in a motor cycle spare parts’ manufacturing factory and his salary was comfortable to them to lead his family which consists his son-Kalyan, daughter in law- Annapurna, their only son-Swaroop and himself. But everything has become upside down after his son’s death in that road accident. Their income completely stopped.

His daughter in law Annapurna was not educated much and he was trying to get her a job in the same factory on compassionate grounds but he could not get any success. There were amounts that have to be paid by the factory but nothing has been paid yet. Vilochan was putting all his efforts to get the amounts but he could not get even a rupee from the factory till then.

Even he crossed sixty five years of age, Vilochan was trying to get a job for himself to run the family.  But he also not educated much and having not much useful experience to do a job. Neither could he get a job for himself nor to his daughter in law anywhere till then. Looking after the necessities of the family was becoming increasingly difficult. They did not pay two months’ rent and the house owner warned them that they have to vacate the house if they don’t pay the rent along with dues from then on. They could not buy the necessary books, clothes, etc. for his grandson Swaroop and he too was struggling a lot.

While his son was doing the job, he bought several useful items for the home. They had to sell one after one all those items to run the family. They kept this tape recorder till the end. Because, all the family members used to enjoy it a lot and they did not want to part with it. He still could remember how he enjoyed listening the songs along with his family from this tape recorder. He did not know but his eyes became moist.

Should we sell this tape recorder? Is there no other way at all? he did not know when his daughter in law Annapurna came there, she asked him.

He looked into her eyes and said You, know the situation. Why you are still asking?

Yes, she knew the situation better than him. They had to pay the house rent, clear the dues to the grocery shop and take groceries again, buy books and clothes to his grandson, it was a must to sell this tape recorder to clear atleast some of those. But what next after disposing with this tape recorder also, he could not understand.

He said about his intention to sell this tape recorder to the pan shop owner Ramana and he promised to spread the word. Ramana’s pan shop was just opposite to his house. Vilochan and Ramana were known to each other for a long time and they were good friends also. In the evening of the previous day, he said that some buyer was coming to their home to see the tape recorder on this day by 9 a.m.. Vilochan was waiting for him. He has to come by this time but he has not come yet.

Then he saw someone going near to the Ramana’s pan shop. Vilochan became curious. He might be the purchaser, Vilochan was thinking. He was very much wishing that the tape recorder should be sold at a suitable price. His son bought it for three thousand rupees just three or so months before his death. He was still having the purchase bill and the tape recorder was under warranty.

It seems that person was involved in talking with Ramana. What they both were talking he could not guess. Vilochan was becoming impatient and irritant. As he was struggling in himself that person slowly came to his home. Vilochan invited him inside.

This is the tape recorder you are going to sell I think he said while looking at the tape recorder in the hands of Vilochan.

Yes it is. Propping it towards him Vilochan said.

That person started observing it carefully. The way of his behavior creating doubts in Vilochan.

This is a new one. I am still having the purchase bill. This tape recorder is still under warranty. Looking hopefully into the eyes of that person, Vilochan said.

I want to test this. he said as if he did not hear what Vilochan said.

Sure, you can. Here is the electric socket. There is a cassette in the tape recorder itself.

That person put the plug in the socket, put on the electric switch and the tape recorder and started testing it. It was working very much good.

It is in perfect condition. You need not worry. Vilochan said. "We are having
