Keshav : I don’t know if that is good or bad, Mom!! I am nobody to judge… So, it doesn’t matter… But… What is Karthik saying say about this?? Did you see him recently?!
Sonam : No… No… I haven’t!! But, I can go meet him, if you insist!!
Keshav : Hahaha!! I am not insisting!!
Sonam : Lol!! Well… Keshav… Listen… Don’t tell this to anybody… But, there is something about Karthik that is leaving everybody concerned…
Keshav : What is it, Mom??
Sonam : Karthik has been acting very weird of late… Rimi said she had seen him buy strips of sleeping pills, on consecutive days, from the medical store adjacent to her house!!
Keshav : What is so weird about that??
Sonam : See… When the shopkeeper asked him why he needed so many of those pills, he said it was for his father!! Why would Kaushik need sleeping pills!!
Keshav : Mom!! Why can’t Kaushik Uncle take sleeping pills!! There is no rule that says he cannot use them!! You people really have no idea what is happening inside their house!! That is the truth!! You guys are just assuming things are wrong!! Worst case, Kaushik Uncle is a bit stressed after the news, and maybe also feeling a little shy or even shameful about being a father again, after all these years…
Sonam : Or… They want him asleep!!
Keshav : What?? I mean… Why?! This is why I ask you to stop assuming. Who in that house would want him asleep?! This whole sleeping pill story could be some misunderstanding, Mom!! Why would Karthik buy them for his father?!
Sonam : The ladies here did an investigation, and have found out that Kavita locks herself inside her bedroom with Kaushik, all day long!!
Keshav : So?? She is in there with her husband!!
Sonam : But, Mugdha – The Maid, says each time she got in to clean the room, last week, Kaushik was sleeping almost unconscious, and Kavita lay on his side, without anything covering her!!
Keshav : What?? In front of the maid?!
Sonam : Yeah… Karthik said the room had to be cleaned, and he unlocked the door from outside. When Mugdha walked in, she saw Kavita there, on the bed, seemingly waiting for her to be seen with Kaushik… This was actually before we all heard she is pregnant… And that is not all… The maid also says Kavita keeps giving Karthik strange silly errands… Like making loud banging sounds with the plates!!
Keshav : What exactly are you suggesting is happening in there?! You first hint at the possibility of wanting Kaushik Uncle asleep, then you say Karthik is asked to make banging sounds!! Wouldn’t that wake his father?! Why get him to sleep then!! And above all, why would Karthik help his mom, if it was something unpleasant?!
Sonam : I don’t know, Keshav… Whatever you said shows the contradictions!! I think I just got the feeling that Karthik is also upto something… Why would he listen to his mother, otherwise?!
Keshav : Do they have any idea that people are noticing?!
Sonam : No… I think No!!
Keshav : Who told you she is pregnant??
Sonam : Mugdha told Rimi, and she told me.
