this subject had been under discussion between the two ladies for a couple of weeks now , beginning with prema behens original suggestion that govind should take up a job as an errand boy in one of the shops to help sushma behen in the running of her household , and although sushma behen had initially been averse to it , prema behen like some seasoned lawyer , with her assemblage of arguments and counter-arguments had gradually worn down the hesitant mothers frail defenses and convinced her of the verity of the idea , and now had brought the matter to a successful completion by locating for her son a suitable job , for which she was expecting some lofty words of gratitude and appreciation from the young mother , but prema behen was to be disappointed as all she saw was a disconcerted frown on sushma behens face in reply to the excellent piece of news she had broken to her .
