Keshav : Wait… Who in the hotel?? What did they ask you??
Sonam : The room boy!! He asked me if everything was okay with the stay, and if I enjoyed with my husband.
Keshav : What?? When?? I mean, why did he even feel that??
Sonam : Well, apparently only couples ask for a king bed. All others prefer twin beds in the room.
Keshav : And who told you that??
Sonam : The room boy. He told me that when I said I was not there with my husband, and you were my son.
Keshav : I did ask you if you wanted twin beds. You said you were okay with a big king sized bed.
Sonam : Now, when did I say I was not okay with that. I just said the people in the hotel thought we were a couple, because we had shared a bed.
Keshav : And you did not get angry at him??
Sonam : Angry?? Why?? He only asked me a very normal question. Room boys are trained to get feedback from the guests. I was not going to get angry at him for that.
Keshav : When did he ask you this??
Sonam : On the second day, morning. He even asked me if I wanted to change rooms, to ones with twin beds.
Keshav : You could have told me if you wanted to, Mom. We stayed there for two more nights after that.
Sonam : I did not want to, Keshav. Why can’t you just understand?? I was totally fine sleeping on the same bed, with you.
Keshav : You did not feel you had to, even after he asked you if we were a couple, as we slept on the same bed??
Sonam : Noo… How was that going to affect me in any way??
Keshav : You did not feel anything when he thought of me as your husband??
Sonam : I did not mind that at all. In-fact I was excited to know people feel I am young enough to be your wife.
Keshav : Maybe it’s because I have never tried talking much to you. I thought something like that would upset you. But you are so cool, Mom.
Sonam : Yes, I am, Keshav. So, just relax. Okay?? And you can share anything with me, Keshav. I will always be there for you. I know we were never very close, but most sons and mothers are like that. They do not share everything with each-other. But let’s be good friends from today.
Keshav : Okay, Mom. I really appreciate you saying that. And whatever it is, you can tell me, too.
Sonam : I know, Keshav. I know I can count on you.
Keshav : Mom… Now, tell me one thing. Were you really comfortable being in the same room with me?? We have never shared rooms our whole life before this.
Sonam : I did have that at the back of my mind before we started the trip. But you made things very easy for me. I did not feel odd at all. I am happy I have raised you into a well mannered boy.
Keshav : Great, then. I just wanted to know you felt everything was appropriate.
Sonam : But, were you comfortable, Keshav?? I don’t know if you always wear a t-shirt & tracks when you sleep. And you were sweating all night. It was really hot in there, even with the Air Conditioner on.
Keshav : It was a good stay for me, Mom. I was totally comfortable. But it was hot, yes. I normally have just my boxers on, when I sleep. The clothes would not have been a problem if it wasn’t this hot.
