"Karan utto... kam se kam aaj toh tumhe jaldi utane chahiye thi" Mahira shook him awake.

"Kya hai yaar... bohot neend aarahi hai" Karan told her in his hoarse voice & slept again.

"Karannn... wake uppp! We have a lot of works to do" Mahira pulled his blanket.

"Aaarg!.. Sham ki hai function" Karan told her.

"Yeah.. i know.. lekin hume bohot kaam hai.. abb jaldi uto tum" Mahira told him & walked off.

Karan stretched his body & walked to washroom, competing his morning business, he got ready in his tracksuit & a hoody.

whistling he walked inside his parent's room.

"Mom.. kya kaam hai abb?" Karan asked a little confused.

"Karan tum utt gayi? Abb chalo jaldi nashta karo" Rakhi told him stopping her works.

"Mom.. mein nashta kar loongi.. aapka kya kaam hai?" Karan asked her calming her down.

"Aaj se Rishab ko fast karni padegi.. Kal pandit ne Maa ko call kar ke kisiko unke paas jaane keliye kehdiya tha.. Aaj Rishab ko vahan nahi jane doongi mein.. toh Tum aur mahira uske paas jaao" Rakhi told him.

"Oh.. okay" Karan nodded at her & walked out.

"Kaaki..Sammy aur Roo kahan gayi?" Karan asked Susan as he grabbed an apple from the fruit basket.

"Voh dono bahar gayi hai.. kuch samaan kareed ni thi unko" Susan told him & passed him his protein shake.

"Karann..jaldi karo mujhe yahan vapas aakar kaam hai" Mahira came in a simple salwar kameez.

"Tumhe kya kaam hai?" Karan asked her confused.

"Roo aur Kritika ko help karni hai mujhe.. hum kuch gift hampers lekar jaa rahi hai" Mahira informed him.

"Ohh!" Karan exclaimed & walked along with her.

"Tumhari Bua bhi hamare saat aa rahi hai aaj?" Mahira asked as she saw Kareena stepping out from a car.

"Dont know.. patha nahin sab kya dekh kar reh gaye hai..Abhi bhi hamare ghar mei guss rahi hai yeh" Karan said irritated.

Mahira sighed as she saw Kareena entering in house with some shopping bags.

"Tum chalo.. hume jaldi ghar vapas aani hai" Mahira said as she speed walked to car.

Karan & Mahira walked along with one of the junior pandit there.

"Aap baitiye yahan.. Panditji abb pooja mein hai" A woman in her 40s told them & showed the benches there.

"Ji.. shukriya" Mahira replied smiling & walked to the benches which was built with stones under the huge trees
there.

They two watched the priests there going around doing their prayers. The temple was bustling with activities. Parents who came there in hope for their children's better future. People who prayed for their parents health.

"Aaj ki zamana bhi bilkul badli nahin hain" Mahira commented seeing the activities.

"Kya matlab?" Karan asked scrunching his eyebrows.

"Jab meine temple pe research kar rahi thi.. yahi same cheese pad rahi thi.. kal ki zamana yaa aaj kal.. kuch badle nahi hai.. badli hai toh woh sirf insaan ki lalach hai" Mahira replied.

"Hmm.. tumhari research works kaisi chal rahi hai?" Karan asked her.

"Its slow moving.. Whatever i wished to learn lies in THE PALACE... lekin vahan jana mushkil hain.." Mahira told him with sadness.
