Part 6
Roli: Can you teach me Haryanvi language & the culture?
Soumya is surprised. She asked, "How did your taste change all of a sudden? You hated the culture here."
Roli: Yes, I hated it but from the time we became friends & fell in love, my mind has changed. I'm in love.
Soumya: Love is very beautiful. Who is the lucky guy?
Roli: It is Sidhant. I never knew when did I start liking him. Do you love someone?
Soumya is shy.
Roli: You have accepted me as a friend. I won't tell this to anyone.
Soumya: I know you won't but I am afraid that how will I adjust to the modern culture.
Roli: That is all fine but tell me the guy's name.
Soumya: In our culture, we don't take the name of our future husband.
Roli: It is fine. But I want to learn Haryanvi culture & language from you. I guess you are in love with a modern guy but I will help you.
Soumya smiles.
Both go to their room.
Soumya: The foremost thing is to wear the saree in our style and learn to make Haryanvi dishes.

Harman: What happened,
Sid: I need to go back as my parents have called me. They are finding a girl for me. I am afraid how will they react if I tell them about Roli.
Harman: You can take leave for 15 days and join us back. If they talk about your marriage, please do tell about Roli.
Sid: That is what I am scared of. There has been a lot of honor killing at our place.
Harman: You knew the consequences yet you dared to love Roli.
Sid: I don't care for my life but I am worried about Roli. I told Roli that I love her as she is but she decided to change her lifestyle for my family.
