Woh ek saal

Focus

Post dinner
Devyani, Anisha were in Aarohi's room playing UNO cards
Devyani: guys month end aa raha hai.. hostel ka rent pay karna hai
Anisha : thanks for the unwanted reminder (puts her 2nd last card)
Aarohi : Caught! Tune UNO nahi bola.. ab 7 cards utha
Devyani and aaru do a High five ✋
Anisha : I hate you both
Aarohi : coming back to the hostel rent, I think manage ho jaayega... but what I've realised is ki hamei hamare expenses aur kam karne padenge
Devyani: mera aur Anisha ka samajh aata hai ham bohot hangout bhi karte rehte hai but tu Kidhar cut karegi? Tera saara Kharcha online food order karne mei jaata hai ... and tune iss mahine ye fridge bhi liya tha

Aarohi : pata nahi yaar... atleast tum Dono ka job toh Chal raha hai ... I am completely dependent on my savings which isn't a lump sum amount

Devyani works as an assistant stylist for films while Anisha is an MBA graduate from IIM

Anisha : tension mat le .. sab manage ho jaayega... I suggest tu ek page pe note kar ki Tera kaha kaha aur kitna paisa jaa raha hai and tujhe kya kya zaruri saaman chahiye and accordingly workout karne ki koshish kar... also what about a part time job?

Aarohi : finance handle karne wala part Sahi hai.. part time job ka sochna padega ... UNO
Devyani: ye le +4
Aarohi : Devyani Shastri 🙄🙄
Anisha : ek aur +4
Aarohi : dekh lungi tum Dono ko
Devyani: Chodh na yaar mujhe ab bore hora hai
Anisha : Haa mera bhi office ka Thoda pending kaam hai... bandh karte hai
Aarohi : Haa theeke! Goodnight
Anisha and Devyani leave

Aarohi : 9:30pm hora hai.. itni Jaldi toh neend nahi aane wali... finance dekh leti hu Thoda
Aarohi takes out the white board

Aaru : theeke... next month bhi problem nahi aayegi... but yaar... college fees kaise pay karungi?? That is a very big amount! Mere paas utni savings nahi hai

She writes college : 10 lakhs on her white board and throws the board marker in anger

Aarohi : Aarohi... u cannot give up! Ye tere dream college hai... u have to clear the entrance, u have to manage ur fees!

Aarohi felt extremely tired and started having moods wings ... she felt more cranky when she thought about managing her entrance and the fees
She lied down on the bed covering herself with the blanket as much as she could

Her eyes became heavy remembering the day she had become a doctor and how everyone was so so happy for her including akshu.. she remembered how rude she was to akshu who was genuinely the happiest when her result was out . She remembered how she put an extremely unnecessary blame on akshu with reference to her not being the first to score this high
Galtiyan toh mere side se bhi hui hai ... sab genuinely khush the uss din... meine apni khushi apni insecurity ke wajah se hee ruin ki.. Akshu toh kitna uchal Rahi thi jab result aaya tha... meine Bina matlab ka jhagda kiya uske saath
She wiped her tears and dozed off
