Next morning he met Robert in morning walk and asked, "Where did you go yesterday night? I made several trips to your flat to find out the condition of your wife. Where is she?"
"She is still very sick and her condition varies. She is admitted in Ram Prastha Hospital where one known doctor is treating her."
"Who suggested this hospital? That's the most useless hospital." Robert said.
"Maybe, but my friend Dr Mohan Gopal is a renowned physician who is treating." He replied.
"This is something I can't understand. Educated persons like you don't select multi specialty hospitals for dear ones." Robert taunted.
"I can't afford services from a multi specialty hospital. You can as you have a lot of money. I am presently without a job. I hope my wife will recover soon." He replied firmly.
"If you want, I can get you employment in another place which will pay you well." Robert proposed.
"Not right now and I will request you when I get free." He closed the discussion.
"Are you not bothered about your case?" Robert enquired.
"Life right now has become difficult for me. Judge and police will decide the fate of the case." He said faintly.
"I propose that you sell your car to a police officer who will settle everything quickly. You will also have money needed for the treatment of your wife." Robert said.
"You may wait for some more days. I will seek your help then. Let me know the next date in court which I would like to attend. Judge must be angry with me."He told Robert.
"That also I will take care if required." Robert said.
Raghav went back home and started thinking why Robert was showing so much concern. He was confused and slept after having breakfast prepared by the maid. She kept working and left after telling him to lock the door. It must have been late afternoon when there was a constant knock on the door. He hurriedly got up to open the door to find Robert standing. He hesitatingly opened the lock and allowed him inside. He excused to get a face wash and returned in about twenty minutes after taking shower.
"Would you like to have food with me? I have not taken lunch." He offered.
"I had lunch after coming back from court. The lunch was special and I ate a lot. Now I am full and can't take anything." Robert replied.
"What's news from court? Did my case come up for hearing? I have requested Madan Kumar to attend on my behalf."
"Do you think he would do justice in your case? He has never won any case. Your case has become complicated as police have become defaulters. Judge wouldn't like to go against the police when a senior police officer's son is involved. His son has further killed someone a few days back while there was a fight in a nightclub which he frequented." Robert said.
"What is your opinion?" He asked.
"Compromise with the police with prior consent of the Judge. You have to forgo your car and not bother about money. Your wife is already in the hospital and fighting to survive." Robert replied.
"You think my wife won't survive. Now her passing away was more important for me. She has been highly attached to this car. It has an emotional relationship and was purchased on its 40th marriage anniversary. Otherwise we may not live to celebrate our 50th anniversary." He told Robert without any emotion.
"How could you get so detached from life?"
"I feel life becomes a burden and boring at my age. Women don't attract and interest in their wife decreases. Children avoid parents and couples live all alone." He said.
"Now I understand why your wife became close to Sally who is in reality a call girl not my wife. I use her to make more money to secure a comfortable life in future days." Robert spoke without hesitation.
Raghav looked at Robert's face and became extremely furious. Suddenly he got up and pushed Robert out of the house. He didn't speak a single word but temper was visible. Robert felt Raghav may hit and he ran away fast to go down stairs without waiting for lift. He was unable to understand what happened.
