One day her husband came with an invitation of a party organized by his boss. Ms Radhika was extremely excited at the idea of being appreciated by all the women for her beauty.
Suddenly, the joy disappeared. She complained furiously to her husband that she did not have any good saree or jewellery suitable to the occasion. Mr Apte wanted his wife to enjoy the party and be happy. He gave her some amount to buy a new saree for herself. However, he did not have money to allow his wife to buy new jewellery. At last, Radhika borrowed a necklace from a rich friend of hers.
At the party, she was appreciated and complimented by all. Radhika was in the seventh sky. After the party, she returned home. She looked into the mirror; she soon discovered that the necklace was missing.
