Kallu was a tenant of Santosh Kumar Nayak. Santosh Kumar was a businessman in a small town of Utter Pradesh. So far the rent is concerned he was charging the rent very much according to the prevalent rates. Santosh Kumar was not contended with the rent alone Kallu was paying. He apparently had a self-interpretation that Kallu was really paying him a meager amount and that had to be compensated altogether by using him for a regular cleaning and washing of the house. He once authentically instructed Kallu to clean and wash the large floor as well staircases, which became a wont later on.

Santosh Kumar was a slick businessman and investor. Some four years back, a petrol pump was opened in that town which was situated about one km away from the main town area. He dexterously planned to purchase a big land just opposite to petrol pump by paying a trifle amount. His fellow businessmen deemed it a foolish idea. Later on the area developed so well in about an year that all those who considered it a preposterous idea went themselves for purchase of land nearby his property but costs of land already soared to five times.

Santosh Kumar constructed a big shopping complex facing the road and two storey apartments were built on the backside. He shaped the house especially in the modern way and provided attached bathrooms and toilets to all rooms, which was a rare facility in the town. Thus, his name was included in the list of few persons who had this kind of facility in their houses. He could easily rented out most part of the house to a mineral exploration company with a heavy rent normally beyond the means of an ordinary citizen of town.

There was a large storeroom near the entrance on the backside of the house, which was full of junk material yet, there was some vacant space and this slot was rented to poor fellow Kallu. Santosh Kumar was clever enough to prepare a list of items and comfortably conveyed it to him and also seriously warned that he would be easily behind the bars if any thing was found missing.

In fact, Kallu was not disturbed much due to the oppressive and risky conditions dictated by the owner Santosh Kumar. He accepted all the conditions indiscriminately ordained by the house owner.

Because his true problem was different. He already crossed the age of twenty-five. In the small places like he lived in this age was considerably greater and the boys of his age were proud fathers of at least 2-3 children. It all generated a disappointment in him but he was helpless because in such matter he could not help himself. The parents and relatives arrange marriages in rural areas.
