The Poison Tree

CHAPTER VI
4/5

But Debendra was enchanted with her youthful grace and beauty.

He never forgot it.
Soon after that, some kind of festival was held in Debendra's house, and a little girl was sent thence to Kunda to invite her attendance.
But Surja Mukhi hearing of this, forbade her to accept the invitation, and she did not go.

Later, Debendra again going to Tara Charan's house, had an interview with Kunda.

Surja Mukhi hearing of this through others, gave to Tara Charan such a scolding, that from that time Debendra's visits were stopped.
In this manner three years passed after the marriage; then Kunda Nandini became a widow.

Tara Charan died of fever.
