It's the first night of Pramod & Susheela together to go outside after marriage. Pramod is driving, Susheela is sitting beside him.

"Pramod ji, I invited some guests today, they will have dinner with us.." Susheela says.

"P. Alright, no problem."

Pramod thinks it might be her friends, relatives, cousins or whoever, he doesn't care.

"S. Why are you silent? Don't you want to know, who are they?"

"P. Nah, are they very special?"

"S. I invited my friend, boy-friend."

Pramod stops the car shockingly pressing the break. Susheela gets afraid when he gets out of the car roadside. She also gets out & stands beside him.

"Pra..."

"What was this Susheela ji?! Don't you think things are crossing limits now!?" Pramod says loudly.

"S. Pramod ji first hear me out? You're misunderstanding, it's not like that!"

"P. Then what is it? Do you think it's right to call your boyfriend in a, in a dinner of a married couple? Like seriously?"

"S. Who said we're going to eat?"

"P. Sorry?"

"I arranged it just to expose my past, you must know all about me as a husband." Susheela says with a sigh. "Right now, please come in the car, it's a road. Public road!" Susheela seriously says.

Pramod in his mind..

"Hmm, I guess she's correct.. She must have some plans.."

They both sit in the car & Pramod slowly starts driving.

*Awkward silence*

"P. Ughmm.."

"S. You'll get to know all, first let's reach."

The two reach a restaurant after some time. It has a beautiful environment with golden decoration. They choose a table to sit but stand for some time. Suddenly, Pramod notices a guy coming towards them. He seems to be well-behaved. No matter what, Pramod doesn't take more than 10 seconds to understand that he is the one who was invited by his wife, Susheela.

Eventually the person comes the closest.

"S. Um, let me introduce.. this is Dr. Pramod, Dr. Pramod Chautala.. my, husband.. & this is my friend.. childhood friend, and...(can't finish)"

"A. Okay, I'll introduce.. Hey dude, I'm Dr. Aham Sharma, a dentist."

"P. (Smiles)"

"Let's sit there?" Susheela says.

All 3 sit in a round shape around the table. Everyone was holding silence until Susheela starts speaking.

"Pramod ji, I'll be sharing a little of my past with you."

"P. Yeah sure."

"S. So, actually Aham is the son of papa's one of the nearest friends. I & he were good friends since toddler age, even we were in a same school. When I was 16, one day he came to visit my home. It was nothing special, just like regularly he used to do.

That day was of thunderstorm. It was heavily raining with extreme wind. The city turned dark as in many places, wires got torn. His parents even permitted, and mummy papa also agreed, that Aham would stay with us. And that was the starting of our lives' turning the worst!"

Pramod finds Susheela being uneasy talking about past in this situation. To make her feel normal, he gets an excuse for a break. The waiter comes with their food.
