Arohi: Di, hurry up. Shilpa and Khushi are waiting for us downstairs!
Taani: Coming!!!
She ran to her sister and followed her downstairs to meet their friends.
Khushi: Quickly girls, we've only got twenty minutes left till the train leaves.
Hearing that they all ran to the train station which was just round the corner. They showed the tickets and went onto the train. They all breathed a sigh of relief as the train started to move.
Arohi whispered: Khushi, Shilpa look at Di.
They all turned to look at Taani who was lost in something. She was thinking about the prince of her dreams.
Taani thought: I wonder if I will find him in Mumbai...
Shilpa: Taani madam, aap kya soch rahi ho?
Taani wasn't listening to them. Arohi clicked her fingers as Taani jumped. Khushi, Arohi and Shilpa burst out laughing.
Taani: Aru, you scared me!!!!
Khushi: Well, you were thinking about the prince of your dreams...This is Taani...Kaise dikta hoga, handsome, ya mota? Kuch bhi chalega!!!
Arohi laughed as she did a hi-5 to Khushi. Taani was a big lover of romantic films, books and shows. The other girls weren't into this stuff.
Shilpa: OH NO!!!!
Arohi, Taani, Khushi: Kya hua?
Shilpa: The stupid Sanjeevani people texted me saying that I have to go straight to the hospital because they want to give me things etc.
Taani: Shilpa, think on the bright side. You haven't even stepped into Mumbai and you're already have achieved your dream. But us...
Arohi: Di, why do you think so negative like the girls in Bollywood movies? You were the best singer in Panchgani, and you will be here aswell.
Voice: Jo log Mumbai ki liye aaye hai, wo please apna samaan ready karake rahiye. Paanch minute mein train Mumbai poch rahi hai!
The 4 friends: Mumbai...Here we come!!!
The 4 girls walked to a small house. Taani opened the door.
Taani: Welcome to Home Sweet Home!!!
But as she stepped inside, it looked nothing like a home. There were cobwebs in every corner of the house. It was full of dust and rubbish on the floor.
Shilpa: Chalo larkiyan, let's get to work.
They started to clean the cobwebs and the rubbish on the floor. Taani pulled the sheets off the sofas.
After 30 minutes, the house was as spotless and clean as a perfect house should be.
Taani: Done. Khushi and Arohi, I'm taking Shilpa to Sanjeevani Hospital, you two don't step out of the house.
Khushi and Arohi nodded as they waved goodbye.
Taani and Shilpa caught a taxi which dropped them off right in front of the hospital.
Taani: Acha Shilpa, apna khayal rakna. And don't be cheeky on your first day.
She hugged her friend as they said goodbye.
Taani had decided to walk home as she wanted to buy some groceries on the way. As she was walking, Taani didn't realise that a car was heading straight for her. The car was beeping but she couldn't hear due to the noise on the streets. The car hit Taani as she rolled to the floor, blood covering the road.
