True Freedom

"We are leaving for Ma's place.. I have cooked a few items. Probably you can easily pass away the weekend. Need not order from outside." Janvi assured her husband, Neil over call.

Janvi and her daughter were visiting her mother for this weekend.

"Sunday evening, don't forget to pick us up. Bye Neil", she hung up.

The weekend was splendidly spent by Neil. No wife.. no toddler to bother... friends.. IPL Matches...peace... tranquillity.

Janvi had been calling Neil since Sunday afternoon regarding their pick-up. But the person , Neil wasn't picking any calls. Bewildered, she asked her neighbour to check, even she couldn't make out ...the door locked, screaming noises from inside, even some typical noises were audible intermittently.

A perplexed Janvi, hurried to her flat along with a police personnel. Her nervousness was visible in her restless behaviour. As she unlocked the door and flung it open, everyone standing there were flabbergasted. The sight was indeed hilarious.

Neil lay on the couch wearing only his green shorts and surrounding him were juice and beer bottles that adorned the carpeted floor. The television was switched on and a funny green frog was jumping in and out of the pond while the undisturbed Neil kept snoring in spite of the commotion.
