"I'm very hungry, Siraj." She said rubbing her cheek on my upper arm,
"And Karthik?"
"He had his hospital food."
We started walking silently like a couple.
"Thanks Siraj." She said without any prelude.
"For what?"
"Mmm.. For coming there and helping me with...those lies. And you're a good actor."
"What did I do?"
"He was suspicious…questioning me... He was mad at me for leaving without telling him….enquired where I was last night… who has presented me with the chudidar suit….from where I got money etc..etc.."
"But he was sedated. How was it possible to tell him?"
"He was not ready to listen to anything. He wanted me to wake him up and tell him. And he was expecting me to stay here, but when you said what happened to you, he was convinced. And if you hadn't asked for the money, he would have doubted us.. Would have made up stories..."
"Oh, really? He's such an idiot?"
She looked very surprised at my open comment. Maybe I was too open.
"You know, I was expecting him to be a very nice guy..." I said.
"Why?"
"Because he didn't look like he deserved you. I thought there must be something special in him..."
"There's nothing special in him.. Except that he's my husband and Vinnee's dad.
