Can you hide it from your wife?

|Eshan|

"Maybe."

The careless answer Arjun gave almost caused me to throw the cup of tea in my hands at his face. This man was so infuriating at times, that I did not know how to handle him. 

"Do you believe I would beat you up?"

"And I would let you?"

Staring at his aloof face and how he did not answer truthfully I was tempted to try my fists on him. But, the experience worth of many years of beating I received from him, made me drop the idea altogether. Innaya was already injured, and if I were to get injured as well who would look after whom?

My parents would obviously want to help, but Innaya would not agree. Sighing, I console myself with the excuse of letting him off at Innaya's expense. 

"I'll let you off on your sister's behalf," I said, acting as being magnanimous. I placed my now empty cup aside and straightened up.

"She isn't my sister." Arjun shook his head, looking away.
