Aarushi kept looking out of window. They were travelling on NH 48. Their cars were moving towards Satara district. Aarushi's eyes became heavy & she closed them.

Sumedh was trying to concentrate on a novel but Aarushi's innocent face while praying was dancing in front of his eyes. He sighed & kept the novel away.

"Kaha se ja rahe hai hum abhi .? " He asked to driver.

"Saheb abhi toh Pune jila (district) piche chhod ke Satara me enter karenge.. Phir ghaat hai ek.. " Driver told.

"Ghaat.. Wa.. " He exclaimed.

Suddenly he saw Aarushi peeping out from window.

"Yeh pagal hai ladki..? Aise kaun bahar aata hai window se..? " He said.

For her good the tunnel was nearly empty. After passing the ghat they entered in Satara city...
