Leela stopped in the corridor and pulled her hand out of Anant's hand. "Anant..." She called out with a serious face.
Anant stopped and turned around to look at his wife who was looking upset and angry. Before she could say anything, Anant put his finger on his lips to signal her to not speak.
"Shh! Leela, let Kirti stay here with Samar. Who knows if this is the signal of their fate?" He spoke directly, startling Leela.
"But she is already engaged!" Leela exclaimed with a surprised look on her face when she understood why was her husband urging her to leave early.
Anant smiled meaningfully at Leela. "Stupid woman, the engagement can be called off at any time."
Leela glared at Anant. "You are a stupid man! Did you need to behave in front of Samar like that? What will he think about us?"
Anant remained unperturbed and cool as he asked carelessly, "Who cares what does he think?"
