"It wasn't a dream to be with you,
It was a prayer!"

"Shi Maa, what are you watching?" Anahita tilted her head as she made herself comfortable on the couch beside Ishita. Ishita smilingly took her in a side hug.

"Serial."

"Eerial? What is that?" Anahita questioned back leaving Ishita in a fix as to what she should answer.

"Umm, just some shows Shona, which are telecasted on the television." Anahita bobbed her head in yes and kept looking at the tv screen.

"Shi Maa, see, Loktal and Mimi!" Ishita frowned and looked at tv where the couple in the show were staring in each other's eyes and background music was playing, typical shows. But she frowned thinking why Anahita called them Loktal and Mimi.

"Nahi bache, look. They are not Your Rockstar and Mumma." Anahita pouted and nodded her head.

"But why did you thought that they are your Rockstar and Mumma?"

"Cause, yeterday, Mumma and Loktal same same in the olp- olpange. Bas shong ni play ho Raha tha." Ishita raised her brows before her eyes sparkled and she excitedly jumped making Anahita flinch a little.

(Because yesterday, Mumma and Rockstar were same same in the orphanage. Just, no song was playing)

"Sachi? Awe!! It would have been a dreamy scene, nai?" Anahita frowned and shrugged at the too much excitement of her Shi Maa.

Just then Nandini entered in the living area and sat beside Anahita. Both Anahita and Ishita looked at her to which she raised her brow and both shrugged before looking back at tv to which Nandini just shook her head. The trio were looking at the tv when Nandini's phone rang and she hurriedly looked at it but her excitement dimmed when she saw the caller. Ishita scruintized her gaze seeing Nandini's eagerness first and then the fallen face. It's like she was expecting another call but got another.

Nandini moved to the dining area to talk, as it was a call from Anahita's school.

"Am I talking to Anahita Murthy's mother?" As soon as she recieved the call, she heard Anahita's teacher speaking.

"Yes Mam! I am Nandini, Anahita's mother."

"Good Morning Ms. Murthy."

"Good Morning Mam." Nandini wanted to say to cut down the formalities and come to the point because she was getting anxious.

"Mam, I am Sarita Tiwari speaking. Actually Anahita's two months fee is pending. I just gave you a call to remind that according to our school policies, if a student has pending fee for more than two months then he or she is not allowed to sit in the exams. And next week are the exams. So..." Nandini sighed and nodded slowly.
