“Sameer, set up the plates on the table” Roopa instructed while adjusting her saree and went to the living room to pick up her son. Roopa put sonu in his child seat and started serving food to everyone as they settled down in their seats. 

“Why are you all silent? Is the food not good?” Roopa asked as she ate and fed sonu.

“No no, the food is great” amar replied

“Then why are you all so silent” Roopa asked again, wondering what they were upto. A minute ago they were all over her and now they are acting weird.

“Actually, prakash bhai is not home… so we were thinking ... if we can stay over tonight “ Amar asked hesitantly

“Oh.. Ok” roopa replied in a low voice and continued to eat

“So we can stay over?” amar asked again

“Ok” Roopa said, not looking at them and continued to eat. She was nervous. She wanted them to leave but she also wanted them to stay.

“Ok?.. we can stay?” amar asked again to confirm.

“Ok, you all can stay….” roopa replied looking down to her plate.

For the rest of the dinner everyone ate in silence. There was a nervous excitement in the air. Roopa wondered why she told them they could stay. She had planned to send them home after dinner but she said the opposite. Roopa was starting to get worried. (oh god, what should i do?)

After the dinner, Roopa instructed the boys to clean up the table while she took sonu to the living room. She tried putting Sonu to sleep but it wasn’t his nap time yet and he wouldn’t sleep. Giving up roopa switched on the TV and put sonu in his small chair while she sat herself on the couch. Roopa was getting nervous with the boys staying over the night. (i should tell them to leave. Yes, that's the right thing) roopa had decided.
