With the morning appearing again, all the Malhotras again become busy in their individual jobs. While Mr. Malhotra is getting ready for his office Mrs. Malhotra is seen in the kitchen with Koyeli completing all the chores. Koyeli works in the mansion even before Mr. Malhotra got married. She is the one who takes care of the house when nobody is at home. Mr. Malhotra works as the CEO of a private bank hence has a lot bank balance at the end of the day. But he is kind of thrifty who always saves his resources thinking of a tomorrow waiting ahead. And Mrs. Malhotra works in a NGO as her passion. And the two daughters of the house who are still completing their school studies reads in one of the best school of the time, THE ROYAL HIGH SCHOOL.

"Have you put the food in the microwave Koyeli?", questioned Mrs. Malhotra to Koyeli who was busy packing the lunch. "Yes! Malkin", replied Koyeli. "Alright. Then when you are done pls go and check the girls if they are ready for their school", she requested. While Koyeli only nodded.

In Naina and Kajal's room,

Naina woke up with the sun rays hitting her eyes, disturbing her sleep. She hurriedly went to get done all her morning activities. Coming back she found the same sister sleeping soundly who yesterday called her a Kumbhakaran. Naina can't tolerate her sleeping so peacefully when she yesterday didn't let her sleep. And she was determined to disturb her sleep.

"Aye Kajal uth na. It's already 7am and you are still sleeping. If you don't wake up now we will surely miss the bus today", Naina said making Kajal groan in the bed.

"Uff..Yaar sone de na. What will happen if we miss the school today? Leave it na. Let me sleep now pls", Kajal said pleadingly.

"It's ok you sleep. I was planning to go to the Kulfi shop beside our school. Nevermind if you don't come I will be having the kulfi alone.", Naina declared while fake dreaming.

"Shut up! I am getting ready", Kajal exclaimed rolling her eyes.

"Mission successful!!",Naina muttered seeing Kajal hurrying to get ready and laughed out loud while Kajal only gave her a death stare.

-----------------

Naina and Kajal went downstairs to find Koyeli setting the breakfast table. "Oh! Naina beta Kajal beta you two have come. I was about to call you", said Koyeli. "Koyeli didi pls give my breakfast. I am starving", Kajal pleaded dramatically. " Kajal, your breakfast has arrived" said Mrs. Malhotra bringing their breakfast from the kitchen.

The two sisters had their breakfast discussing about how will their first day go. They boarded onto their school bus and went to the school after a journey of 15 mins. They stepped inside the school with a joyful face. They really loved their school.

1st Period

"Welcome class to a new term of the year. Hope you all will also excel this term the way you did in the previous one", Said the Sreyashi Ma'am, the class teacher of X-B proudly. "Before I start any lesson let me tell you guys a notice. So after 2 months our school is conducting the annual programme which due to some reasons was stopped for 3 years. The school committee has decided to resume this. Interested students are requested to inform me tomorrow. Point to be noted is you may have to stay back for your practice beyond your school hours and once you register your name you can't back off. So take your parents permission and then only inform me.", Announced their class teacher.

Listening to the announcement, a different kind of excitement appeared on their faces. Naina and Kajal were always passionate about dancing and singing and badly wanted to participate in the event but feared if they don't get the permission. So they decided not to say anything and let the matter go.
