My pen is my property

My pen is my property:
After marriage he brought Mrs. Dwarakabai directly to the home at Dhadgaon. Because all the family members of Janardan Valvi were non-vegetarian and so it was a big problem for Janardan Valvi and his newly married bride. When Mrs. Dwarakabai observed the bachelor Janardan's room, she asked and complained about many things. She complained that they did not have enough utensils and many other household things.
Janardan Valvi told her firmly, "Look Dwaraka, It is now our world. You have to make it heaven with your hands."
She said, "But that needs much money."
Janardan assured her, "I'll bring every possible thing to you."
Then she asked about many things like their home and farms at Mundalwad.
He told her, "Mind one thing, I have only this pen. My pen is my only property. I just don't need the fields or house of my father. If you are ready to live with me, then it is okay, otherwise I'll drop you at your father's home in the morning."
She was observing a new shine in his eyes when he was saying so. She understood and respected Janardan's self-respect and determination. So they lived happily.
Janardan Valvi went to Dhule for the training for the Secretary. Mrs. Dwarakabai also accompanied him. They lived in a room in the mission area of Dhule Church. After some days Motibai, the younger sister of Mrs. Dwarakabai who was abandoned by her husband came to their home to live for some days. After some days as both the sisters were on the river she told Mrs Dwarakabai, "Dwaraka, there can be two sisters in the same house, isn't it?"
Dwarakabai said nothing. She told the matter to Janardan Valvi. He asked Dwarakabai to call her.
He told her, "I am the follower of Gulam Maharaj. I'll not marry you. It is only your wish and I have nothing to do with it."
Then he turned to Dwarakabai, "Do you think I can do it?"
Dwarakabai said, "I'm sure, you are not that kind of man. I was impressed on the very day when you had visited our home first time and told my father about Rama and his promise. I'm sure you'll not break the promise given to me."The sister of Dwarakabai became very sad. But destiny thought another thing. Mrs. Dwarkabai passed away during her first delivery with her son. The father of Dwarakabai had great faith in Janardan Valvi. He proposed Janardan Valvi for his youngest daughter, Motibai. And Janardan Valvi got married again.
