Seeing Atharva pacing from one corner to another with a bright smile on his face, Avinash was rather shocked was an understatement. He stood frozen with his eyes set upon Atharva. But after a minute or two, he spoke," Atharva, tu kontya swapnachya jagat aahe? "
(Translation: Atharva, you are in which dream world?)

Athava was quickly back to earth and snapped his eyes towards his friends who held a mischievious smile, "Mulgi midali ka?"
(Translation: Got a girl?)

And there stood Atharva blushing from the tips of his ears to this neck, while he shouted, "Gappa bas yaar! "
(Translation: Shut up bro!)

While on the other side Riya herself was busy finding some number eagerly on her phone and as soon as the number was connected, she left a content sigh and the call was picked up.

Mother: " Beti? "
( Translation: Daughter? )

Riya: "Haa mumma!"
(Translation: Yes)

Mother: "Kaisi ho? Mumbai mai sab theek?"
(How are you? Is everything alright in Mumbai?)

Riya: "Mai toh theek hu. Aap kaise ho?"
(I'm okay. What about you?)

Mother: "Beti, tumhare papa tumhe yaad karte hai."
(Translation: Dear, your father is missing you.)

The smile left her face and Riya said,
"Mujhe uske baare mei baat nahi karni."
(Translation: I don't want to talk about it.)

"Theek hai beti."
(Translation: Okay, child.)
Her mother sighed.
