Krish's mom opened the door, completely fuming in anger. Without giving them any chance to escape, she grabbed the ears of both Krish and Radhika with her hands.

Krish: 'Aree mumma...yeh kaunsa tareeka hai swagat karne ka...chod do...aur itne bhadke hue kyun ho...?'

Radhika: 'Mumma... kya hua... aap gussa kyun...?'

Mom: 'Accha to yeh samajh mein aa gaya dono ko... ki mein gussa hoon...lekin yeh samajh nahi aaya...ki ek phone hi kar doon ki hum late ayenge...haan... itni tension ho gayi thi mujhe...'

Krish: 'Mumma... tension mein gale lagate hain...kaan nahi marodte...chod do please... nahi toh kaan hanth mein aa jayega...'

Radhika: 'Haan mumma, please chod do humare kaan...'

Hearing their pleas, she left their ears, and before Radhika could say anything, Krish spoke.

Krish: 'Mumma...woh kya hai na... kaam bohot zyada tha aaj...isiliye late ho gaya...Lekin aap tension kyu le rahe the...meine Maya ko bataya tha ki hum late ho jaayenge...'

Mom: 'Accha... lekin usne to mujhe kuch nahi bataya...'

Krish: 'Dekho... bataya usne nahi aur daant aap hume rahe ho... aise thodi hota hai...'

Mom: 'Accha acha theek hai...Room mein jao dono... mein khana vahin bhijwati hoon...thak gaye honge...'

Both freshened up, and had dinner together.

Radhika: 'Krishna...tumne mujhe mumma ko kuch batane kyu nahi diya...?'

Krish: 'Kyunki fir voh faltu mein dukhi bhi ho jaati...aur pachaas sawaal alag se puchti... jiske jawaab tum dena nahi chahogi...'

Radhika: 'Thank you...'

Krish: 'Kis liye...?'

Radhika: 'For understanding me...'

He smiled. Soon, both slept

At around 2 am, Krish woke up because of thirst and found Radhika reading something, with the table lamp switched on.

Krish: 'Radha...tum soyi kyun nahi abhi tak...yeh kya padh rahi ho...?'

Radhika: 'Woh...mujhe neend nahi aa rahi thi... toh meine socha ki us dean ke baare mein thodi details padh lun...is baar chahein jo ho jaaye mein chodungi nahi use...'

Krish: 'Oho... toh woh toh office mein bhi kar sakti ho na...aise apni neend mat kharab karo...ulta tumhari health pe asar hoga...chalo so jao...'

Radhika: 'Theek hai...goodnight...'

She finally lay down, but sleep seemed far from her eyes. He sensed her distress after what happened. To help her sleep, he gently patted her forehead, and she looked at him.

Krish: 'Aise kya dekh rahi ho...Ab tumhe neend nahi aa rahi toh kuch karna padega na...mujhe lori gana nahi aata...jo aata hai kar raha hoon...chalo close your eyes...'

He patted her head for a while, and she slept.

The next morning, Krish woke up at his usual time. Radhika was still sleeping peacefully, so he decided not to disturb her. Krish went to get ready, and by 8 am, he was prepared to leave. However, Radhika was still sound asleep and showed no signs of waking up anytime soon.

Krish: (To himself) 'Dekha... meine pehle hi kaha tha jaldi sone ko par meri to manni nahi hai mohtarma ko....ab uthegi nahi toh office ke liye late ho jaayega...Fir panic karegi...kya karun mein iska...chalo uthana toh padega...'
