Answers
Answer:
As fate would have it, the astrologer meets with his long time enemy. While Guru Nayak does not recognize the astrologer, the astrologer definitely recognizes Guru Nayak. Guru Nayak is a man that the astrologer had a brawl with years ago. The astrologer thought he had killed Guru Nayak and left him in a well for dead.
Now, as it turns out, Guru Nayak survived. He is presently sitting in front of the astrologer demanding to know what happened to the man who stabbed him years ago. Guru Nayak wants to kill the man who attacked him years ago. He is still in a rage over the incident. He demands the astrologer tell him how to find his attacker, while all the time he is talking with his attacker but does not know it.
The astrologer manages to convince Guru Nayak that his attacker is dead. He was killed by a lorry. The astrologer convinces Guru Nayak that his attacker is indeed dead.
With this information, Guru Nayak is satisfied and pays the astrologer for this information.
Later that evening, the astrologer goes home and shares the whole story with his wife. The reader can see that the astrologer is relieved that the man he thought he had killed is alive and well. The astrologer is finally at peace after carrying this burden all these years.

Summary
The story begins with a description of the place and environment in which the astrologer meets his clients and does his work. He begins his work every day at midday in a public place under a large tree that is close to a public park in his town.

It is a place poorly lighted in the evening, and because the astrologer has no light of his own, he must depend on what light comes from the flickering lamps kept by neighboring vendors; a dully lighted, murky place is best for his purpose. He is not an astrologer by profession but was led into it by circumstances that forced him to leave his village, where, if he had stayed, he would have settled down to a life of tilling the land.
He has a practical knowledge of the common problems of most people: “marriage, money, and the tangles of human ties.” His sharp eyes, used to scanning for customers, make people believe he has an unusual ability to tell people’s fortunes.
