Kadakh

Sunil is home alone when the doorbell rings. The stranger at the door introduces himself as Raghav. He seems polite, affable and friendly. Turns out he is the Chhaya’s husband- a woman that Sunil is having an affair with. Sunil is awkward as hell- but Ragahav manages to put him at ease, says he just came to see him out of curiosity. Its natural to be curious when your wife.. how to put it delicately, likes some body. You want to know what he looks like- and so he just came to meet him. Pretty soon, Raghav’s questioning becomes painfully intrusive. He wants to know all the details of Sunil’s affair with Chhaya- even the awkward, uncomfortable ones. And then he produces a gun from his bag- and shoots himself in the head. Sunil freaks out. In a few minutes his wife Malti comes back home. Sunil warms her to the situation by saying, ‘Some shit has happened..’ He tells her this was a man he had fired from his office last week, and he went into a depression and today came over and shot himself. Half-truths at best. Together they manage to hide the body. Turns out, this is Diwali night- the biggest festival of the year, and about 25 friends and some invited guests are expected. They start trooping in. Soon the party is in full swing. It’s a night of revelations as dark secrets keep tumbling out.
