Mr Patel returned home last week, what
was left of him anyway. Not in the manner that he would have
expected but still by priority express mail.
Mrs Patel could hear him 'I am not like that Kumar who just preens on Facebook but is a zero in real life, I am worth a lot more you wait and see'.
And now here he was signed, sealed and delivered.
Kumar was coming over in the evening with the insurance papers. She picked out a white sari and applied some kohl to her eyes. Such a helpful man and still unmarried.
