Dhani looks at Aatreya who is sitting there rather quite.
Dhani : You didn't tell me anything about yourself.
Aatreya : What would you like to know?
Manan : Wife, let me tell you about brother Aatreya, since he won't praise himself. Brother Aatreya is a great warrior and a great leader. We are blessed to have him as our elder brother. Naimisharan is blessed to have him as its Chief. He is very efficient in handling political matters. Many village Chiefs and even Kings of large kingdoms seek his guidance. Under his guidance, many villages thrived in drought-like periods. In the great flood of Kaveri river, no casualties took place under his leadership. When everyone loses hopes even then he remains unshakeable and achieves what he wants.
Aatreya : That is enough, Manan. You are talking too highly of me. I merely do what is needed to be done. There is nothing so special about it.
They talk a little more. Dhani starts to feel sleepy. She yawns. Her eyes are closed. Manan notices it.
Manan : Wife, are you feeling sleepy?
Aanan : Ah, she must be. It's so late.
Manan : I guess we should sleep then.
Aatreya : Yes, let's sleep now.
Dhani hears the words 'let's sleep' and immediately springs up from Bali's lap. She takes a few steps backwards and looks at them.
Bali : What happened, wife?
Dhani looks at them and then she looks at the bed. She gulps thinking about what is going to happen.
Bali : You want to sleep?
Dhani : Huh?
