"Hello Ki, how are you? Is everything okay? Uncle ji ne kuch kaha?"
(Did Uncle say anything?)
"Manav, Papa naraaz hai. I mean I know that expecting good grades is not wrong but, it is not like I am not a ranker right? He told me to learn from Kritika."
(Manav,Papa is disappointed.)
"He did? And what about aunty? What did she say?"
"She is happy. She said it isn't a big deal."
"That's good, at least aunty is on your side."
"Yeah waise tere yaha kya bole aunty aur uncle?"
(What was your parents' reaction to your grades?)
"They both are really happy. Mom was concerned about you."
"You know Manav, people often think that people who are first in everything are the happiest. But the thing that people don't know is the pressure of handling those expectations and being consistent in what you do."
"Ki, don't stress yourself much. Did Ritesh call you?"
"No he didn't. He didn't even congratulate me."
"Oh he didn't? That's okay, maybe he will call you later."
"Papa is planning to send me for extra classes. So that my grades don't fall more."
"What ? Are you serious? Ki, you have to do something. Just don't give up."
Next day
"Manav, I need to tell you something."
"Hello Ritesh ! Did you call Ki yesterday?"
"No I didn't, I was a bit busy. Why what happened?"
"Ritesh, uncle is disappointed since she isn't first in class."
"Oh god! Why is he like this?"
"Waise kal tune Ki ko congratulate nahi kiya."
(Yesterday you didn't congratulate Ki.)
"Oh shit! How can I do like this? Woh Kritika ne first aake toh mujhe surprise hi kardiya toh mein bhool gaya."
(I was surprised when Kritika stood first and because of that I forgot to wish her.)
"Was she sad? I'll go talk to her now."
"Don't go now. She is in class now."
"Now? She has classes now? Since when?"
"Uncle ji made her go to extra classes so that her grades don't fall more."
"Shit! Extra classes? This must be so difficult for her."
"What did you want to say? You wanted to tell me something, right?"
"That's not important. I just want to meet Kiara right now.
