In plain words
Do not let him move anywhere,” he told her, and went back inside once more. ‘Satyam’ could be seen inside, and seen outside too! Seshama Raju was amazed. ‘Is this a dream, is it real, or is it my delusion?’ he thought. Rama Raju too saw all this before his very eyes.
On the way back from Bellary to Uravakonda, the Municipal Chairman brought a gold collar pin and put it on my collar. Wearing a collar pin was the fashion in those days. I said I did not want it. Then Seshama Raju: “He gave it with so much love. If you refuse it, it will amount to dishonouring him,” he said. At his insistence I put the collar pin on. After we came back to Uravakonda, as I was going to school, that pin slipped and fell off. But I did not grieve in the least that the pin was lost. Still, I acted as though I were looking for something there. The students coming along behind: “Rāju! What are you looking for?” they asked. “You saw it, didn't you, the collar pin. Now that pin cannot be seen. I am searching for it,” I said. Those boys too began to search. Then I laughed: “Silly students! You are going to school to get an education. Why should the pin matter to you?” I said. “Rāju, it looked very nice when you wore it,” said one of them. Meanwhile another boy ran home and told them about this. At home, Seshama Raju and Rama Raju were both talking together. “Everything Satyam does is so very strange. How are we to understand his behaviour?” they were discussing. Hearing what that student said, the two of them set out at once and came. Rama Raju laid his hand fondly on my shoulder: “Rāju! What are you looking for?” he asked. Very innocently, “I am looking for something,” I said. “In this world, does anyone go searching without knowing what for?” he asked. “The pin you fastened on me yesterday is not to be seen now,” I said. “If it is gone, it is gone. I will give you ten more pins. Come, let us go home,” he said.
