"Gosh..." "I switched off the phone when she called me today morning" "I forgot to switch it on again Let me call her" "Wait" "Before you call" "We took her to NHS today" "Merin may have to go back to India by this month end" "No other alternatives for that" "You need not worry about that" "Merin is mature enough to comprehend" "I would make her understand about your situation" "Then...whatever you have decided about helping her issue a cheque in her name and give it to me" "I would give it to her" "Giving a cheque to her...?"
