`What on earth is this nonsense, Ikki? Can`t we even walk down the street in peace? Sesiri has tolerated this enough. Any other man would have started a bloody fight! Ikki long story short, it`s better if he never sets foot in this area again!`
I didn`t even get a chance to say a word. Without a head or tail to what she was saying, Nelum went on for a long time before taking a breath.
`When I couldn`t take it anymore, I sent for you to come to put an end to this! Ikki, did you give me that man`s money? If we had known, we wouldn`t have taken it even if we were begging on the streets. Don`t make us a laughingstock to every tom, dick, and harry. I told you, even if we have to sell off these household items, we will pay it back. Weren`t you ashamed to send him to demand money from us? If he comes again, I swear I`ll break his legs! Then you`ll end up having to marry a cripple. Talk straight, Ikki, yourself! Why do you need spokesmen anymore`
`Nelum! Will you speak clearly so I can understand what the hell you`re talking about? Did you call me here in a rush just to pounce on me?`
`Don`t act, Ikki! Did you send that guy to intimidate Sesiri and get the money? To threaten Sesiri? He might be a big deal to you! But to me, that charlatan is nobody!`
