Arjun: Kya woh ladki tumhari mangetar hein?

Pratham looks at the direction Arjun was looking. " Are nahiin. Uska naam Roshini hein. Woh yahaan bachon ko music sikhati hein."

Arjun again looks at the girl. She was wearing a White salwar. Arjun couldn't look away from her. He was so entranced by her that he didnt notice anything going on around him.

By this time Pratham had called his Fiancé. And she has already reached the car.

Pratham literally had to shake Arjun.

Arjun: huh. Kya hua?

Pratham: yeh toh mein tumse poochne wala tha. Mene kitni awaaz di. Kahaan kho gaye?

Arjun: Kahiin toh nahiin. Kuch soch raha tha.

Pratham: Accha theek hein.

Pratham then introduces his Fiancé Nupur. Then both of them leaves for his home as the rain has stopped.

Arjun turns and looks for the girl. But she is not there.

Arjun also leaves for home. Arjun couldn't forget Roshini's face.

Arjun freshens up and then goes down for dinner.

During dinner, Arjun and Aai has small talks. Both of them notices that Arjun's father is very distracted and not participating in the conversation.

Arjun: Baaba, koi pareshaani hein kya?

Baaba: Hum theek hein. Humare ek dost thodi pareshaani se guzar rahe hein toh wahi soch raha tha ki madad kaise karoon.

Arjun: Aap ko koi madad chahiye tohi mujhse keh sakte hein.

Baaba: Abhi nahiin. Agar chahiye toh zaroor kahenge.

Arjun: Accha theek hein Baaba. Apna khayal rakhiye ga.

He wishes both of them Good night and leaves for his room. His is still restless from his memories.

Aai was not satisfied with Baaba's reply. Hence she decides to speak with him soon.
