"Manya, Maya, get ready quickly so that you can have your breakfast on time. Remember your final exams in high school is today and I believe you're very much prepared for it" Palak shouted as she walked past her daughters room.

"Yes Mom, we're almost done and of course we're really prepared for the exam, all we just need is your blessings and we'll get going" one of the girls replied.

Maya: (coming down the stairs whilst brushing her hair) Mum, what have you prepared for breakfast today?
Palak: Oh goodness, Maya, I have always told you that it is only proper to get dressed in your room and now you're here still brushing your hair? Well I've prepared your favorite food cause it's your exam today.

Palak: He's still in our room.
