"Awnirudh," Kaka Babu slowly entered his room. "I know you must have had some grave reason to take such a harsh decision and I'm not here to question you on that." Kaka Babu paused.
"But have you ever thought what would happen to you? You are not growing any yonger and given your behaviour I don't think you would marry again..."
