The Bungalow on the Corner of the Street

           playing at home. Rohan’s mother was the only person who
           could tell the boys to go back home and come back the next
           day.

           Mr. Tripathi was an honest man. He was hard-working
           and got promotions in no time at his workplace. Soon, the
           family decided to shift to a bigger house. They needed the
           space for their family, and another child was on the way.
           All the neighbours came for the party he threw when he
           shifted to a new house.

           They congratulated Mrs. and Mr. Tripathi, had a feast that
           lasted till midnight. Then they all went home, tired but
           satisfied with the food and drinks that were served. On the
           way, while walking home, Mrs. Gulati asked Mrs. Sharma,
           “Did  you  see  the  new  sofa  Mrs.  Tripathi  got  for  her
           drawing room? It was very comfortable, no? You could
           sink in it.”

           “Yes, I was admiring it too, replied Mrs. Sharma. “It was
           nice and velvety. I’ll get one for our home too.”

           Mr.  Sharma  was  quiet  all  this  while.  He  and  his  wife
           turned to their lane and waved goodbye to all of them.
           After some time, he asked his wife, “Where will we get the
           money to get a sofa like that? Why did you say that to Mrs.
           Gulati?” he snapped angrily.
