The following day Neha was discharged from the hospital.
At night,"Arun" a usual normal tone.
"Arun" a pleading tone.
"Arun" a sad tone.
Neha sighed, disappointed at the attempts of gaining the attention of her husband who was engrossed in his laptop while sitting beside her.
Finally, she nudged him twice on his arm.
"What is it Neha? Go to sleep, it's late. You need rest," Arun said in a soft tone.
"That's what I am saying, it's quite late, and 'we' have to sleep. Moreover, you never work when home," she replied emphasizing the 'we'.
"You haven't seen me that doesn't mean that I have never done it before. There is an important matter that needs to be solved. You go to sleep," he said and without waiting for an answer, went and switched off the lights. Neha went to sleep with sadness in her heart.

"I'll never do something like that again, promise," Neha said.
"That's like my good daughter. Now listen to me and go and take rest."
"Okay, mom," saying this Neha went to her room.
For Swara,
