"Sir post" the postman shouted standing in the entrance.
Om collected his letter and gets surprised to see the from address.
"What's it om?" Raju asked seeing om looking happy seeing the letter.
"It's from uncle shakti who lives in London" om said happily when he got call from shakti.
"Om I have sent you the application form for your dream job in London" Om's uncle shakti said over phone.
"Thanks uncle" Om said and happily cuts the call.
"So you are going?" raju asked feeling happy for his friend.
"Yeah next month" om replied and continued, "And it will be easy for me to forget my idiotic thought about pooja"
"You didn't know that she is kabir's girlfriend that time and it's okay to fell in love" raju tried to explain.
"But I said I already met her as once when kabir was talking to me on video call I noticed pooja in back but didn't see her face properly then when kabir was about to reveal his relationship I got busy and never had time to talk" om said sadly
"Om it's not your fault" raju said while om just smiled and kept the letter on nearby table in his room.
After sometimes,
Neighbor's kids came to play with pooja and the girls and while playing hide and seek a kid run into om's room. Pooja tried to stop her.
"Ammu stop don't go in there" pooja asked her to stop but the girl didn't and took the letter which shakti sent to om but pooja didn't saw it and took her outside.
Few kids were coloring when ammu joined them with the appointment form but a kid messed with the paints and his hands got dirty with yellow color water colors.
He grabbed the application form to wipe his hands but the girl started crying.
Hearing the cry, pooja went near them and tried to solve their problem.
"It you want to wash your hand you should use water and asked us. You should not grab someone else's paper like this" pooja advised the boy and turning to ammu, she said, "Baby I will show you a magic trick don't cry. I will draw in the paper with a lighter only"
Ammu got excited.
But it didn't end well as pooja wouldn't do it right and the paper started burning. Kids got scared seeing fire when om comes there as pours water to extinguish the fire. He took the half burn paper to realize it's his application form.
"Pooja" Om angrily shouted as she burned his dream into ashes.
"What have you done? Its not right to play with fire with children and it's my application form for my dream job in London"
"Actually that yellow paint... " pooja tried to explain but om didn't let her speak.
"Shut up. I thought you are matured but never seen a immature like you" om shouted without knowing the whole truth and went out.
"Om it's not what you think.. Actually.. " Noorie explained him what happened.
"But why would she play with fire when kids are there" om said irritated
"We will explain her. She will understand her mistake then" noorie said when om just nodded and went in search of pooja.
