Blessings at Her Favourite Temple

Early that morning, Ram received a call from Prasanna’s mother, Kotha.

Kotha: “Good morning, Anna. I am very happy that your sister-in-law, Vasanthi, is arriving today along with Grandma. Prasanna also arrived from Germany last night. This evening at 7 p.m., I have arranged a special pooja at the Venkateswara Temple. You, Sister-in-law, and Anusha Madam must come and receive the blessings of the Lord.

“Murthy Sir and his family, Raj Sir and his family, and Athmarao will also be joining us. We will all meet at the temple this evening.”

With that, she ended the call.

Ram felt extremely happy. After their marriage, Vasanthi was returning to her native place after 27 long years, and on the very day of her arrival, she would have the opportunity to receive the blessings of her favourite God. He felt that God had been very kind to them and that everything was falling into place at the right time.

Ram continued with his usual routine work and spent some time playing with Tommy. A little later, his phone rang again. It was Murthy.

Murthy: “Good morning, Ram. This evening, I will first drop my family at the temple and then come and pick you, Vasanthi, and Grandma. By that time, your people should have arrived there. We can all meet at the temple.”

Ram: “Thank you, Murthy. That will be very convenient.”

After the call, Ram began thinking about how happy Vasanthi would be when she visited her favourite temple on the very day she returned to her native place after 27 years. He felt deeply grateful for the way everything had happened and silently thanked God for bringing Vasanthi back into his life.

He then asked the maid to clean all the rooms thoroughly and prepare the apartment for Vasanthi and Grandma’s arrival.

The apartment was spacious and beautifully maintained, with three elegant bedrooms and a total built-up area of about 2,200 square feet. Ram wanted everything to be neat, comfortable, and welcoming for Vasanthi’s return.

For him, this was not just another day. It was a day filled with happiness, memories, gratitude, and God’s blessings.
