Days turned into years and now Sagar had two wives, 8 daughters and 4 sons. From Lali he had 7 children- 5 daughters namely Maya, Saroj, Kamla, Pushpa, Jyoti and 2 sons- Jay and Deepak. From Saru he had 5 children- 3 daughters namely Geeta, Hema, Meena and two sons- Manoj and Vijay. Vijay was Youngest among sons whereas Jay was the eldest. Similarly Meena was the youngest among daughters and Maya was the eldest. Sagar had worked hard and his hard work was paying off. His youngest brother was now a government employee and was also married. He had two children a boy and a girl namely- Pankaj and Tara. And his middle brother was in village with his family. The success was ruling Sagar's mind. He would order his wives for everything. Saru was cunning. She was aware of Sagar's weaknesses. So she would use them wisely. Whereas Lali knew justice will be served to her one day. Soon Maya was in class 8th. Sagar thought that was enough for her and got her married to a boy who had failed class 12th and sent her somewhere in a rural area. All those children were now habitual of city life so sending Maya back to some village was a bad decision. Maya's husband would beat her everyday. She would run for her life. She wrote to her father one day about her hardships and help. But Sagar told her that it's her fate now and she has to bear with it. That day Maya stopped loving her father. She stopped writing to him and bore all the atrocities that her husband did on her. Next was Saroj. Sagar didn't take any lesson from his previous mistakes. Infact he repeated them. He fixed Saroj's marriage with a guy that nobody from their family had ever heard from. He just saw the boy and believed every word he said. That boy was 17-18 years older to Saroj yet she was married to him. Saroj had the same fate. His husband had an extra marital affair. He was a drunkard. She also wrote to her father this time but not for help instead she was angry. She said I will never forgive you for what you did to our lives. You didn't let us study and you married us off as if we were some burden to you. This letter disturbed Sagar. His ego was hurt. He went to Saroj's place and told her husband to behave properly. But this disturbed Saroj's household more. Again he repeated the same things with Kamla and Pushpa. 

Jay being the eldest son was a spoiled child. He hated his father as he had seen his father's behaviour with Saru and how different it was with Lali's. But being the eldest one he cared for himself. He wouldn't study. Would be with his friends all day. Would drink and gamble. It was his escape. Same was with the rest three sons. Every year passed and the youngest daughters Jyoti and Meena would study more. Jyoti was in her graduation when she was married off and Meena was the least pretty. Boys rejected her everytime, giving her more time to study and thus she did her masters. But later she was also married off to a boy 15 years older to her. Sagar had now married off his eight daughters. He was proud. Not it was his son's turn. Jay got married to a girl 10 years younger to him. And after a year he had a boy, Deepak also got married. Manoj was a playboy, so he was married off at the age of 21 and Vijay at 28. Each one of the four boys were unemployed and spoiled yet they were married off because people believed a little bit of responsibility will bring them on tracks. Nobody thought of the girls they were bringing into the mess. Everything was okay until one day Kamla's husband passed away due to heart attack. She had three children and was uneducated. Her eldest daughter was in class 12th. She started working at her father's position. But Sagar didn't help. Then 13 years into marriage and Jyoti's husband passed away. She also had 3 children. Her eldest child was in class 9th whereas the youngest was in class 1st. She was a graduate, she took her husband's job but nobody from her father's home came to help her in those difficult times. It was her fate and she had to go through that. Saroj's and Maya's husband also passed away due to some medical illness. But their children were mature enough to support their mother. 

Sagar helped no one. Lali was bedridden due to arthritis. Saru was reigning again. Sagar would come to Lali's room, would show her his face and then would go and sit with Saru where Saru would tell her how bad lali's children are and how good her children are. She would constantly lie and sagar believed every single word of her. Once Lali got sick. Her daughter in laws did everything for her. Combed her hair, bathed her, changed her clothes but Lali succumbed to death. And after that Saru had no competition now. Jay, Deepak and their sisters were nothing without their mother. Their father had never given a thought to them. And now with lali gone they all felt like orphans. Saru slyly started filling Sagar's ears against Jay and Deepak. Sagar believed everything and one day he threw out Jay and Deepak with their families from his house. Jay and Deepak were aware that this would happen someday. They just told their father that when he'll have no money that day he'll realise what he did. But Sagar had money infact a lot of it. Old age hit Sagar and Saru started stealing money and filling his sons' pockets. Sagar never caught this and he also bid his farewell to the world. Now Saru was alone with her sons and their families. Saru's eldest son Manoj abused her, took her keys and everything, made her do every chore in the house. Vijay's wife told her to never step in her room. Her life turn miserable within a second.

Moral of the story- Money is not everything. But money can blind your virtues. The people who are good on your face can be a snake behind your back. Don't die for a son. And don't forget your roots.
