At evening, Ashok was cleaning the shop and Anubhav was setting the racks with a stern yet a sad face.
Ashok: Jane de bhai... vaise bhi humesha choti ko college lene Tau ji he jate hai , aj bhi chale gaye aur jaise subha teri sundar aakhon wali ka reaction tha mujhe nahi lagta aage tumhara kuch hoga.
Anubhav threw the bunch of pouches on him.
Anubhav: tumse pucha humne? Kyu panuti laga rahe ho?
Ashok picked up those pouches and placed it on its proper place.
Ashok: theekh hai bhai...itna ghussa kahe ho rahe ho?
Anubhav glared at him that's when a coustomer entered in the shop and placed the huge list of things before him.
Anubhav and Vishal started showing them the list and then he payed the bill.
Ashok: Chacha samaan bohot zyada hai, ap toh bike se aye hai, ap akele ye saman kaise le jayege?
Anubhav: ek kam karte hai, Ashok tum dukan pe raho aur mai apni bike baki ka samaan Chacha ke ghar pohocha deta hu.
Coustomer: are nahi nahi beta, bekar he tumhe itni mahakkat uthane ki zarurat nahi.
Anubhav: Chacha... beta bhi kehete hai aur takleef lene bhi nahi dete, ye toh galat baat hai.
The customer smiled.
Anubhav: ap adha samaan le ke aage jaiye, mai apke peeche peeche ata hu.
The customer noded and then both laid the things on both the bike and left.

After 20 min aur so, they reached at the customer's house which was just two houses away of Anubhav's house.
Anubhav: are chacha ap toh humare padosi nikle.
Coustomer: matalb?
Anubhav: vo jo samne wala Ghar hai, vo humara hai.
Coustomer: are waah ! Toh ap Singh sahab ke shabzaade hai?
Anubhav:(smiling) ji...iss Nacheez ko Anubhav kehete hai.
Arsalan: Aur iss Nacheez ko Arsalan.
Anubhav smiled wider.
Anubhav: ye lijiye apki manzil aa gaiee, ab hum chahte hai.
Arsalan: are aise kaise bhaiya? Yaha tak aye ho bina chai piye toh nahi Jane denge.
Anubhav: are nahi nahi chacha phir kabhi.
Arsalan: ye jo mehemano ka phir Kabhi hai na vo ata he nahi hai. Chaliye aiye.
Arsalan walked in with the luggage on his bike and Anubhav helped him with other.
Arsalan: Beta Salma!
"Vo toh tution gaiee hai chacha jaan", the same sweet and newly familiar voice entered Anubhav ears.
He looked at the source of the voice and suddenly felt the numbing of the world around him also the air around him has became slower as such that he actually could hear the aeolian sound of the wind much clearly.
He saw those eyes again, yes... Those same pairs of orbs that he has being adoring from past 2-3 days, behind the huge mask called burkha.
