Chapter 12

Shehnaaz was cooking for evening dinner. She was kneading the dough when her phone start's ringing. She glances at the screen, it was Rudhra. She asks Sidharth to take the call and speak to him.

Sidharth: Hello

Rudhra: Hello Jijaji, where is Shehnaaz?

Sidharth: She is kneading dough so she asked me to take the call. What's the matter?

Rudhra: Aaa.. Naina and I went for a movie. It turned out to be a horror movie. She is so scared watching the move that she is literally not leaving me. I am staying back at her place tonight since she is terrified. I'll come back tomorrow morning. Please inform Shehnaaz about it.

Sidharth: Oh!! Okay!! Good night!

Rudhra: Good night!

Sidharth chuckled
Wow!! Somebody seems to have just got lucky tonight. Look at me! I am still trying to win back my wife. What a bummer!!

Shehnaaz: What happened? What did bhaiyya say?

Sidharth: Nothing, he said he is staying back at Naina's tonight.

Shehnaaz: Oh!! Okay..

Sidharth: Shehnaaz, I am bored! Shall we watch movie post dinner?

Shehnaaz: Wow!! Sounds cool to me. Even I was feeling bored.

Sidharth: Okay, I'll go and grab a latest movie DVD from the store until you finish your cooking.

Sidharth was looking for a DVD at the store.

Sidharth: Hey!! I need a latest and the most scariest horror movie DVD.

Store Manager: Scariest? Okay! This is the best one. If you have a best quality surround sound speakers than it will literally give you shivers.

Sidharth: Is it? Then do you have those kind of speakers/sound bars as well?

Store Manager: Yes! Here you go!! This is the best we have. Costs Rs. 18,999 only with Diwali Discount.

Sidharth: Okay.

Store Manager: How big is your TV sir?

Sidharth: It's 40 inch

Store Manager: Oh Okay! You see that 75 inch TV, it's the best. Gives you real theatre like feel. We have a special offer for Diwali, we can exchange your old TV and you pay just Rs. 79,999 only.

Sidharth: Is it? Okay, I'll buy it.

Store Manager: Sir, you can take this DVD as a complimentary gift from us.

Sidharth removes his wallet and swipes his card.

So much circus and money just to scare my wife to get some romance in return.

He goes home and the deliveryman does the installation of TV and sound bar and takes the old TV. Shehnaaz was in the kitchen serving food for them on plate. She walks out with the plate and gets shocked to find a big TV.

Shehnaaz: You went to buy a DVD. What's this?

Sidharth: I found this cheaper and there was Diwali offer as well so I bought it. He gave a DVD free.

Shehnaaz shakes her head in disapproval.

Shehnaaz: Don't you think it's too big for this house?

Sidharth: Yeah, I think I'll have to buy a bigger house for this.

Shehnaaz: What? You are just unbelievable. Come let's have dinner.

Sidharth: Yeah, let's finish the dinner quickly and watch the movie.
