Banaras never sleeps.
The streets are full of noise, fear, and shadows.
He had a past full of blood and secrets.
She had a heart full of life.
Jeevika-
"Pehli nazar mein... itna kareeb aata hua mehsoos hua. Dusri nazar mein... kahin yeh Yuvan S...

"Taiyaar ho jaao, jeevi"
(Get ready, jeevi)
Vasundhara finally spoke to her daughter, who seemed lost in her own thoughts. Her daughter simply nodded and picked out her ghagra for the performance tonight.
"Yeh rang laga lo"
(Apply this colour)
Vasundhara gave her some Alta to paint her feet and hand, but Jeevika just grabbed her mom's hand and gently pulled her.
"Aap hi laga do, Amma"
(You put it by yourself, mother)
Jeevika whispered with a sad expression because she was always excited about dancing and colouring her feet and hands, which meant a lot to her.
"Kuch dikkat ho rahi hai tumhen?"
(Are you having some problem?)
Vasundhara casually asked while painting her daughter's feet, reminiscing about how she used to do the same when Jeevika was just a little kid and now her feet had grown big.
"Aap ko Aisa kahe laga?"
(Why did you feel that way?)
She asked her mother not to give her any kind of hint as her mother understands this kind to matter quickly.
"Toh aise kahe rehti ho, jaise ki koi atyachar kar raha ho tum par?"
(So why do you live as if someone is torturing you?)
Vasundhara was so fed up with her daughter's behaviour, she couldn't help but vent her frustration. Jeevika, on the other hand, coughed to get attention and was ready to be completely honest.
"Nah, Amma, it's just that Kritika will be heading to her in-laws soon and it's making me feel a bit down."
Indeed, she was definitely telling the truth, but deep down, Videshi-babu was still on her mind, causing a battle between her heart and her mind. Does she have such bad luck in love that just as she was about to confess her feelings, the train started moving!
"Toh tumko bhi hum apne saath nahi rakhenge umar bhar, ek baar tumhe bhi aise hi Vida karna hoga"
(So I will also not keep you with us for the rest of our life, once you will have to send you away like this.)
Jeevika's mouth was wide open in total disbelief and then Vasundhara quickly covers her mouth to stop herself from laughing out loud.
"Hum nahi jayenge"
(I will not go)
She was all fired up while getting ready, and Vasundhara just turned around with the most surprised expression on her face.
