Abhi: JAI

Jai: Huh? Ha, tu kuch bol raha tha? Huh? Yeah, you were saying something? 

Abhi: Kaha khoya hua tha? Where were you lost? 

Jai: Kahi nahi. Nowhere. 

Abhi: Pakka? Tension mein dikh raha tha bahut. Are you sure? You looked tensed. 

Jai: Meri behen ke baare mein hai. It's about my sister. 

Abhi: Kya hua? Woh theek hai? What happened? Is she fine? 

Jai: Pata nahi, aaj kal bahut khoyi khoyi si rehti hai aur kitaab liye baithi rehti hai. Padhne ka shauk toh humesha se hai, lekin ab aisa lagta hai ki kisise baat na karni pade isliye padhti rehti hai. I don't know, she keeps zoning out a lot these days and is always sitting with books only. She does like reading since always, but now it is like she avoids talking to anyone by reading. 

Abhi: Tune usse akele mein baat ki? Did you talk to her alone? 

Jai: Nahi. Woh zyada tar apne dost ke saath hi hoti hai. No. She is with her friend only most of the time. 

Abhi: Toh phir uske dost se baat kar, use pata hoga agar teri behen uske saath itna wakt bitati hai. Then talk to her friend, the friend must know if she spends so much time with this friend. 

Jai: Sahi kaha, mai usse baat karta hu. You are right, I'll talk to him. 

After sometime Jai noticed something. 

Jai: Abhi, teri aankh ke neeche kya hai? Abhi, what's that below your eye? 

Abhi: Kidhar? Where? 

Jai: Idhar. Here. 

He pointed on the spot on his own face and Abhi realised what it must be. 

Abhi: Kuch nahi hai. Nothing is there. 

Jai: Unhone phir se tujhe thappad maara, haina? He slapped you again, right? 

Abhi: Chod na. Leave it no. 

Jai: Kya chod na, tu humesha yahi bolta hai. Kya hua tha? What leave it, you always say this. What had happened? 

Abhi said him the entire incident. 

Abhi: Par tujhe yeh baat itni lambi kyu kheechni hai? But why do you want to drag this matter so much? 

Jai: Mai baat nahi kheech raha hu, tu nazarandaaz kar raha hai. Kaun apne bete ko bas isliye maarta hai ki uski shirt gandi ho gayi, woh bhi itne logo ke beech? Kewal katore ka kona ada tha, zyada khana nahi dhula tha. I am not dragging it, you are ignoring it. Who slaps his son just because his shirt got dirty, that too in public? Only the corner of the bowl touched your shirt, not much was spilt.
