Dev and Aditya were sitting in the park of their colony. Dev was sitting on the swing while Aditya was sitting on the base of a slide. Both were in deep thoughts.
After a few minutes of silence, Dev spoke, "Adi, just imagine. What if you suddenly fall in love with someone?" Aditya looked at him. He thought for sometime and then replied, "Dev, if I fall in love with someone then she would be entirely different from the world."
"Oh! Seedha seedha bol na ki alien se pyaar karna hain. Chal, Jadoo ko puchhke aate hain ki uski koi behen hain ya nahi", said Dev and Aditya threw a pebble at him which Dev dodged successfully. (Oh! Then say directly that you want to marry an alien. Come, let's ask the alien if he has a sister or not.)
"What I meant to say is that the girl would be different from the girls that I have met till date", said Aditya. When he saw Dev looking at him curiously, he continued, "See, till now no girl interested me so that means I am not interested in such type of girl. But I AM INTERESTED IN GIRLS." He said when he saw that Dev was about to pass a comment on his statement.
"Adi, atleast tell a few qualities that your girl would have", said Dev. Aditya sighed and replied, "Am I giving a viva?Why should I answer all your questions?"
"I can help you in finding a girl that you like", said Dev. "I am not going to buy a shirt that you will help me to buy it. If the girl is destined to meet me, then she will", replied Aditya. Dev nodded and started swinging on the swing.
"What kind of girls do you like?" asked Aditya. Dev looked at him and replied, "I don't know. I have left everything to God. If a girl is destined in my life, then I'll definitely meet her one day."
Aditya nodded and said, "I think we should head back to our House, or else our Mothers might start another drama." Dev nodded and they both went back to their houses.

Dev entered the Hooda House to meet Aditya the next morning. He saw Anjana in the living room watching TV. It was the same series that Dev was watching the previous day. Surprisingly, even Ishwari was watching this series in morning. Dev cleared his throat and Anjana looked at him.
"Hello Aunty", greeted Dev. "Hello", replied Anjana. "Well, today Adi went to the office early", said Anjana. Dev replied, "I know that, Aunty. I came here to meet you. By the way, do you like this series?" He pointed at the television screen.
Anjana nodded in a no, saying, "I am getting used to such scenarios." Dev got the meaning behind it and thought to leave from there at that very moment. He cleared his throat and said, "Aunty, I should get going. I need to go the office." Anjana nodded with a smile and Dev exited the House.
