"Excuse me, Sir! Here is your Idli Wada Sambar", the waiter said.
Dipesh came back to the present. He was comparing the burger-eating lady and the Jilebi-eating girl in mind.
But the burger girl was now paying the bill and ready to move.
And suddenly Dipesh felt a lump of fear in his stomach after remembering their visit to the Doctor for Mittu.
He became slightly nervous and started eating idli Wada Sambar.
While eating his breakfast, he overheard a conversation between a couple sitting at the right-side table.
"When your husband would come home?", the man was asking.
"He will not come before 4 pm"
"I will come by 1 pm. We will eat light food and then we will make love before 2 pm, will take a rest and then I will go!"
"Yeah. That would be great."
"But what about CCTV?"
"Wear a helmet and mask or some cap on the head. Or wear a T-shirt in which you may look like a delivery boy or something."
"Wav. That's great! you are so a genius! I can't wait now!"
"And what about your wife?"
"She knows it!"
"What?"
"Yes, I told her about you, and she is okay with it."
"How come? Is she also having an affair?"
"No! She just learned to accept all my affairs", he said but bit his tongue as he used the plural form of the affair. The truth came out suddenly from his mouth.
"Affairs? You mean you had another affair also in past!"
"In fact, along with you, I am involved in one more woman in parallel!"
"You are a cheat! Scoundrel...!"
Dipesh was surprised by hearing this. How openly nowadays people are doing adultery!!
They even don't fear talking about it in public places.
Then he kept on thinking while reaching his office desk:
"It is not my responsibility to change the world. Why the people in the world will behave the way I want to be? I must accept the world and the people in it as it is. But I hate such people. They don't know the value of marriage. Why in the first place do they marry if they know they can’t be loyal to their spouses?"
"That day Akshay visited my home and asked something similar to me. How could he be so direct? He is vocal about everything and also asked me about my affair. Why should I tell him even if I had one? It is a strictly a personal thing. We should not share a secret with anyone!"
"Right now, I should concentrate only on the big issue I and Dipika are facing. Our Mittu's disease and its cure. And the work in the office is earning me my bread and butter for my family. We will do anything in the world to cure Mittu. Nothing else is important now as far as my family life is concerned. Nothing else!"
