Act II
Episode I
(Venue: Sudhakar's house. Characters: Sindhu and Sudhakar.)
Sindhu: Cousin sister ( Shard) has gone to Bhai Saheb ( Ramlal) and I am feeling lonely at home; So I say, is it essential to go out now?
Sudhakar: Oh, why would I go so fast unless it is an urgent matter? I must go now! Don't wait any longer for my dinner.
Sindhu: I have been watching since the day I came, always you going out for dinner at night; One, two or three times only you stayed in house for dinner! Should I ask you? Are you angry as I stayed for long time at my home? If that is the case, I am very sorry please forgive me.( With act of begging).

Sudhakar: Oh, I have to meet many people and convince for charter work and for that I have to go here and there! Then there is insistence for dinner at somebody's house. Is it good to leave work half done and to come for dinner at home. Now a days I have to wait till 2-3 am in night. How do you think that I am angry with you for that?
Sindhu: (crying) Then why your talk is full of scorn, even you are not playing with our baby also.
Sudhakar: Talking with you is very difficult job.! How many times I have told you that I love you as much as I did before! I admire the baby from the bottom of my heart - but why should I say that! Can't you see Well, don't cry now! I will be getting my charter after completing the term tomorrow Then the work will be over. I go now. There is no point in arguing - it hurts yourself and hurts others also!
(Thought in mind) She has started worrying as Ramlal called her suddenly by telegram. This Ramlal went to England well. But due to war he returned back. So this worry has started bothering me. How many days should this hide and seek continue? (Goes.)
Sindhu: Oh God, now I leave all my worries with you!

Ramlal: I don't know what happened suddenly! The charter is temporarily revoked. Isn't he facing trouble of lack of money? Yeah He will not talk openly to anybody due to his ego character
Sharad: No, that is not a problem at all. However, it is learned that Dada's charter was revoked, but since that time, cousin's(Sindhu’s) father has started sending money with a open hand, even though Dada has written not to send .
Sindhu: No, brother; There is no problem with money? Something is crazy - my mind is telling me! Brother, how to do it now? (Begins to cry.)

Gita: Bhai Saheb-
Ramlal: Who? Gita, no? Did you call me
Gita: Yes! Even I called you without caring for anything ! Call me your daughter like Sharadinibai! Bhai Saheb, I just heard Baisaheb( Sindhutai) talking and my heart became restless. I came running as I could not stop before telling to somebody. I know everything ; as to what Dadasaheb does, where he goes, with whom who he goes with.
Ramlal: Yes! Please tell what he does .
Gita: What to tell you I feel sorry! Now he has started drinking - (in low tone) to drink alcohol!
Ramlal: What, alcohol? (Exhaling) Raghuveer! Srihari ( Oh my God)! - Gitabai, are you sure?
Gita: Ah, how sure? I know by seeing myself! My family person only has induced Dadasaheb
Ramlal: Wait, don't talk here! If Sindhu hears a word, she will ruin her life! You just come out a little, beyond Just furtherl. Tell me everything that you know - come on. (Thinks in mind) Oh, Destiny what did you do?
