It's gloomy outside & raining cats & dogs. Not too long, just started 10 minutes ago but the pressure is yet the same.
Pramod is working in his laptop, lying over his chest with the help of a pillow. On the other side, Susheela is taking fun of the rain, wetting her hands sometimes. She is standing in the balcony and enjoying the serene atmosphere.
Both are in a cheerful mood, probably the reason is the weekend of today.

The sudden knock on their room's door snatched the attention of both.
Susheela comes fast wiping her wet hands in a towel & opens the door.

It's Minnie. Susheela is wearing a white coloured georgette saree with light yellow prints. Minnie gazes her from up to down and smiles.

"M. Wow Susheela, you've got a nice saree choice, hmm?"

"S. (Smiles+Blushes) please come in, mom."

*brings Minnie in*

Minnie has a packet with herself. Seems new!

"M. Susheela, this is a gift from one of your aunts. She gave it yesterday but I seriously forgot about it.. take this."

"S. Ohh, thank you mom..."

"M. Umm one more thing dear, could you both please come to hall room?"

"S. Now mom?"

"M. Yeah.. Pramod?"

"P. Okay sure, let's go.."

All leave & Susheela feels excited to open the packet of gift after talks.

Jay was already sitting and reading newspaper on sofa, Minnie sits beside him & Pramod-Susheela sit with each other.

"M. Okay so children, we've planned something for you.. As you're newly married, so I & Jay have decided to send you to a trip! It's a Goa trip, are you guys ready?"

Pramod gets excited.

"Yes of course, we are reeaadyyy.....(fears seeing Susheela)"

"M. J. (Laughs)"

"M. Susheela?"

"S. Okay mom, that's fine.."

"M. Okay then, I'll let you know the date and all later.."

Everyone smiles and goes to their respective work again.

Though Susheela doesn't express that much, she is excited for this trip a lot! For the first time she is getting the chance to have a trip alone, well Pramod is with her but it's okay.

She has already unwrapped the packet & turned happy to see the gift inside. It's a navy blue silk saree with attractive laces. Susheela loves saree & blue colour a lot, so she finds it more special & prettier than other people.

Susheela is wearing the new saree in different ways over her current dress standing in front the mirror. Once she wears it like an air hostess, then she folds it like television news readers, again she keeps the veil on her head like a bride. While doing all, she's thinking about the trip.

"How's it looking?" Susheela turns and asks Pramod excitedly.

"Wowww it's so nice!" Pramod is looking at his laptop continuously with full concentration. Without seeing he praised the beauty.

"At least have a glimpse?" Susheela says like bored.

"P. (Without moving eyes) Yeah I saw, it's pretty."

Susheela gets a naughty idea right then & picks an old towel kept on a chair.

"S. Pramod ji, how's it looking?"

"P. Woww it's very beautiful again, just like you Susheela ji..(without seeing)"

Susheela throws the towel on bed and sits on the floor turning opposite angrily."

Meanwhile Pramod too notices his mistake & bites his tongue. Keeping laptop, he goes to Susheela & sits beside her.

"S. What?"

"P. I'm sorry Susheela ji, I'm really really very sorry.. that was a mistake, please pardon me.. okay then, let's plan about our trip!"

Susheela leers and smiles a little at her husband.

"Really?"

"P. Yeah.. listen, we're going to enjoy, so we'll do the best things! Hiring a taxi, we'll roam around the entire city.."

"S. No, why that? Instead of having the presence of another person, isn't it better to be alone, together? Holding each other's hands, and walking over the beach. Only I and you, beside the sea, enjoying the cool breeze and light whether of the area.. in the evening, enjoying the sun at the most, and many more... isn't it fun?"

"P. Ahh, I'm falling in love with you day by day Susheela ji!"

"S. Didn't you understand this small thing in these days? I don't get anything about love, even not interested in that! Love is like a mobile phone for me, using a little gives entertainment, using too much gives headache."

"P. Susheela ji can't you take any statement of mine normally? I mean, you've to catch a mistake in everything!?"

"S. Hmm.. you can say, you're getting habituated with me day by day, of course that's the best. Well, do ask from mom about our date, plans, tickets or anything needed.."

"P. Ohkay.."

Days later, finally the moment has arrived. Pramod and Susheela are on the way to Goa.

In the middle, they find a famous tea shop. They both take a break there & have traditional tea. It refreshes them & they start driving again.

Finally, they reach their hotel. Susheela says that she will arrange room. When they come up from reception, Pramod gets a bit shocked as Susheela has got a room of two beds.

"Susheela ji, may I ask why a room of two beds, for a single couple?" Pramod asks confusingly.

"S. No you may not, uffo! Who asked you to run your thoughts so quick!? Be quite slow dude, you'll get to know the reason soon."

Susheela in a great mood keeps her luggage and sees through the glass. The sea is visible!

"P. So, what's the plan for now?"

"S. I'm too tired, now I'm sleeping.. we've time no? Let's relax now."

Pramod, in his mind...

"I knew she would do this only, huhhh... My ms. Lazy!"

It's the same night, Pramod went to order dinner for them. Coming back to room, he sees Susheela sitting on the bed holding her knees. Maybe she's reading something in her phone. Pramod goes near and sits in front of her.

Susheela's left hand was kept loose, Pramod tries to hold it. Suddenly, he gets hugely shocked, perhaps the greatest shock ever in his life to see a sharp knife being held.

Yes, Susheela has raised a knife in front of Pramod holding its black holder, leaving Pramod wide eyed.

That's all here, thanks for reading!
