Don't you have anything better to do than watching those run-of-the-mill serials on the TV? accused my husband who had returned late from work.
Please, please, let me see if the gullible girl escapes from her lover who has bad intentions or meets the same fate as the others of her age, I said without taking off my eyes from the TV screen.
Thank God, she is saved by the timely action of the cops, I said feeling relieved.
Thank God for that, sighed my husband. The police were quick to act for once. Now why don't you switch off the TV and think of serving some dinner, I am ravenous, he said sounding tired.
Please wait, I want to see how the newly married husband reacts as he has come to know that his wife's ex-boyfriend has resurfaced, I said.
I am sure he will throw the wife out or if he is magnanimous, ask her to choose between him and her ex, he said.
Well, that sounds quite a routine thing , I am sure the story writer will be more imaginative, I said.
Even as we were in the midst of speculating, I found the protagonist's daughter through her ex-lover appearing, to the embarrassment of her mother who is happily settled with her family.
Try to guess how she is going to handle this piquant situation, I said.
It looks like the story writers of today are obsessed with affairs and affairs - past, present and future and can't think to offer the viewers anything beyond that, he observed.
But history repeats itself, doesn't it? It is a fact whether you agree or not, I observed.
Well, if you can't beat them, join them seems to be the principle today. By the way, I met my classmate in college the other day and I was flattered to learn that she always hero worshipped me and still does. Shall I invite her to tea, said my husband.
You may, the words came out automatically.
I knew you would say yes, he said with a twinkle in his eye.
I hope you will not carry the past to the future, I said, suddenly regretting my words.
Who knows? I may or may not, he dillydallied.
