Haya walked near to the door, standing just in front as Adi opened the door, a gasp leaving his mouth as he clutched his heart.

"Chudail." He closed his eyes tightly, leaning as he kept his hands on his knees, "I was this close to reciting Hanuman Chalisa." He pinched his fingers together.
(Witch)

"Ye tere papa ji ka ghar hai jo jab dekho muh utha kar aa jaata hai?" She asked, not letting him enter.
(Is this your father's house that you come here every chance you get?)

"Ek tu hi to meri apni hai, chal ab side hat, khana laaya mai tere liye." He pushed her, kicking his shoes in the corner as he walked further inside.
(You're the only one I can call my own, now move aside, I brought you food.)

"Adi-"

"Ye phool kon laaya?" He asked, "Are you seeing someone?" He turned to her suspiciously.
(Who brought these flowers?)

"They were lying outside my door when I came back home." She lied, "Go serve the food, I'll come back in a minute." She added, walking towards her room.

"I told Ma about Naina." He told her, walking to the kitchen, "Her first question was...is she from the same caste and religion. Like can you believe her?" He asked, making a tsk sound with his tongue.

"What did you say?" She stopped.

"Told her she's half American and her dad's muslim, she didn't ask anything after that." He snickered, "Let her overthink for some time."

"Is your mom like that?" She frowned, "I mean...backward thinking and all?"

"You wouldn't believe the things if I tell you about it, I'll run away with her if she threw any obstacle in my relationship." He replied, pouring the food into plates.

"You're that serious about Naina?" Haya asked, "Does she feel the same?"

"I don't know about Naina but I'm very serious about her. I like her... a lot and I want this to work...you know? I'm dating her with marriage in mind, I'm 27...I'm not looking for a hookup or casual dating and I've made it clear to her." He told her.

"Hmm, I'll be back in a second!" She said to him, walking inside her room, locking the door behind her.

She watched Raghav sitting on her bed, looking at her baby picture she kept on the nightstand, immediately snatching it from him, she hid it behind her.

"Why are you snooping around?" She demanded.

"Why didn't you tell me he's in a serious relationship?" He stood up, towering over her.

She pushed him back, "Don't try to intimidate me, keep sitting." She pointed her finger at him, "And What would you do with that information?"

"I need to know about this girl, what's her full name?" He asked.

"Why? You're going to act like your mom and-"

"I just want to do a background check and know if that girl is good for him or not-"

"Oh my god! Are you serious right now? Care to tell me what are your specifications for choosing the right girl for him?" She asked, keeping the frame back in its place as she crossed her arms.
