V. In South Africa

Mohan's elder brother had come to Bombay to meet him. The doctor friend whom he had met in England had returned home earlier and was living in Bombay. He persuaded Mohan and his brother to come and stay with him for a few days.

Mohan was very glad to be back home, but bad news awaited him. His brother told him that his mother was dead. She had died when Mohan was in England, but the family had not told him the sad news as they knew how sad he would be alone in a foreign land.

After spending a few days in Bombay, Mohan and his brother went to Rajkot. Mohan was happy to be home again with his wife and his little son. But home coming was not the same now that his mother was no more.
