It was night time when Vikrant opened his eyes as he felt thirsty. He lifted his body up and came to see the jug was empty. He sighed and got up from the bed. Wrapping a shirt he came to the kitchen.
Then taking out a bottle from the refrigerator he gulped it down and took another bottle for later use. He was coming back to his room when he saw the door of the guest room was opened slightly and some faint voices were coming from there. He frowned and stepped forward towards the room. Then he slightly pushed the door to see who was making the voices.
"Thodi si jo peeli hai chori to nehi ki hai" (I just drank a little, I haven't stolen anything)
Vikrant was shocked to see Manish who was singing holding an empty bottle of wine.
"To ye tha bandh kamre wala raaz" (Oh, so it was the secret behind the locked room)
He huffed and entered into the room while gazing at his father-in-law's antics. Then slowly tapped on his shoulder.
Manish got startled as he turned back to see the owner with his blurry vision. Seeing Vikrant there he immediately hid the bottle behind his back.
"Y__You h__here"
He stated with slightly broken voice because of the effect of alcohol.
"You were drinking?"
Vikrant asked him with amusement.
"Nope"
He denied shaking his head and then continued.
"J__Just a l__little bit"
Manish showed a little with his index finger and thumb.
"Oh, I see"
Vikrant faked a serious face, then asked.
"Does Shivanya know this?"
"N__No"
"To use batana padhega na" (Then she should know)
Manish's eyes widened hearing his son-in-law's words.
"Let me tell her"
Saying so, Vikrant was getting up but before that he pulled him down holding his wrist.
"Shhhh"
Manish kept a finger on his own lips and said him to keep quiet.
"It's a men's secret"
He added as Vikrant nodded with a chuckle.
Manish smiled when he was sure that his son-in-law wouldn't let his secret come out. He took a glass and again started drinking, then glanced at Vikrant.
