Sumedh said everyone to keep quite & continue there meal. Everyone had a questioned look. But aarushi didn't bother what sumedh said.

'Shut up sumedh...have you gone nuts, atleast puchte toh hai kya hua hai use' Aarushi said concerned. Sumedh shooked his head.

'Koi jarurat nahi hai, rehne do use akela kuch der. Apne aap aa jaegi' Rohan said. Sumedh cocked his eyebrows. Rohan ignored his gaze.

'Chalo chalo lets have our pizza' Devaki said gaining attention. Everyone nodded except of abhishek.

'Sumedh mujhe tujhse baat karni hai' Abhishek said. Sumedh nodded. He went with him in another room.

'Sumedh aaj sach sach batana, sara ko har baar kya ho jata hai? Why she do such things? Kabhi dar jati hai, kabhi rone lagti hai, kabhi kich aur hota hai use. Kyuu??? Ekdm sach batana' Abhishek asked hoping for a satisfactory answer.

'Kaha kuch hua hai...woh aisi hi hai...mom dad ki yaad aane lagi hai use abhi' Sumedh said ignoring eye contact with abhishek. Abhishek sensed something wrong.

'Aise achanak se yaad aani lagi usko, pehle toh kabhi aisa nahi hua' Abhishek said folding his arms. Sumedh understood his gesture & tried to show himself confident.

'Aree last year hai na ab, sabko job mil jaega' Sumedh said & abhishek hummed. 'Toh she was like sab apne parents ke liye earn karenge aur woh kiske liye karegi' Sumedh completed.

'Haan yaar aisa toh lagega use, acha tune smjhaya nahi use?' Abhishek asked him.

'Of course smjhaya. Acha ab chal yaar bohot bhuk lagi hai...nahi toh woh bhukad basanti sab thus legi' Sumedh said & took him to hall. Abhishek was still not satisfied with the answer. For that very time he thought to keep this topic aside.

Everyone was done with dinner. Sara came out of the room & sat beside sumedh. No one asked anything to sara about what happened as sumedh told noy to ask. The photo frame in her hand caught everyone's attention.

'Kiski photo hai sara tere hath mei?' Devaki asked all of sudden. Sara didn't answer & just looked at the photo & showed them. It was a photo of sara's parents with sara on her father's lap. Everyone felt sad about that.

'Kyaaa??? Muh kyu latka liya tumlogo ne??' Sara said. 'Meri wajah se?? Chillax buddies am fine. Bas thodi yaad aa gayi maa papa ki' She continued.

'Sab nautanki hai yaha, chalo kuch game khelte hai' Aaru said & hit behind devaki's head playfully.

'Nahi...ab koi game nahi khelega' A voice said from the entrance. Sumedh's mom was standing there. 'Time dekha hai tum logo ne? It's 12:30 am now. Chup chap so jao. Sumedh sara ka khayal rakhna' she said

'Aree aunty chinta nahi kariye, yeh sumedh pagal hai. Mai dhyaan rakhungi' Aaru said in full excitement & saluted her.

'Chal be basanti!!! Khud ka toh dhyaan rakh le pehle, aayi badi dhyaan rakne waali' Sumedh said teasing her by making stupid face.

'Aree bassssss!!!!!' Sara shouted. Everyone looked at her. 'Chalo ab thik hai. Maa main khayal rakh lungi apna....chill!! Air aap jake so jaiye' She continued.

Everyone slept wrapping up all the mess. Not knowing that next day might change their whole journey.
