It was now around 7:50, and they decided to go back as soon as possible, because it had, very suddenly, started to pour and that too, very heavily. Naina, as she told before, was carrying raincoats and umbrellas in a big black bag. She took them out and gave one raincoat to each of them. Bliss, thought everyone! They quickly got into the bus and came back to the hotel.

"It feels so nice and warm to be back in the hotel. Gosh! I was so exasperated, by that quivery rain! See, I'm still shivering!" said Pooja. "Yeah, same here." said everyone else.
"Acha guys, toh aaj bhi, are we going out?" asked Huda. "Well, I think we should first ask everyone. Nahin?" said Pooja. "Going out, why?" asked Naina, looking at everyone, confused. "Nainaji, do you want to have the hotel's food today?" asked Alekh, who very well knew that Naina was very tired. "Oho, woh toh main bhool hee gayi naa. Acha, theek hai. Let's go. But, baahar, ki aaj yahin khaalein?" asked Naina, slyly. "I think we should have it here only. Well, seeing that all of us are so tired, let's have it here only. I'll call all the others." said Alekh. Alekh went over to the reception to phone everyone. "By-the-way, tum logon ke parents kab aa rahe hain?" asked Naina. "Dono ek hee flight se aa rahe hain, kal subah. They made this very sudden decision together only naa." said Huda, smiling. "Oh! By-the-way, Huda, tum bhi toh college mein hee ho. Which one?" asked Naina. "St.Teresa's in Manhattan." said Pooja. "Oh Good! I've heard it's the best over there. Is it?" asked Naina. "Yeah, it is", said Huda, "but now, as we're planning to shift to New York only, I have already applied for the Oxford." "Arrey that's awesome!" said Naina. "Phir toh hum sab ek saath hee honge. Great!" said Alekh, joining in. "What did the say?" asked Naina. "Well, I called up mummy, and she told me that Uncle aur Aunty un hee ke paas hain, aur woh log kal waale restaurant gaye thhey, aur wahaan se woh khaana le aaye hain." said Alekh. "Acha, so we're having food here only. Good." said Pooja. "So, let's go." said Huda. And they went upstairs.
