Aryan was gone to his hotel a few moments before. Meethi went in her house thinking Aryan's conversation with her a few minutes ago.


Flashback:

Aryan Babu ee nisaan to humne...
[Aryan Babu, This symbol I saw...]


She went into flashback -


Flashback -

In the night of the day when Aryan interviewed Imlie. Meethi sat on wood cot and Imlie sitting at floor in front of her. Meethi massaging her hairs with oil. When Meethi saw a black symbol as same as the Aryan's. But then she not knew what it symbol is. So she asked Imlie about that symbol. But Imlie also don't know about this.


"Imliya ee kaa hai tere gardan par kaala nisaan. Pehle to hum kabho naahi dekhe rahe ise. Ee ajib sa nisaan."
[Imlie, what is this black mark on your neck? I never saw it before. This strange mark.]


"Ammaa, kuchcho lag gaya hoga. Toka to pata hai na hum kitni uchhalkud karat hai. Ee khatir hi to oo Akadbaggha humka Junglee bolat hai. Aisan hi lag gava hoga. Tum tensioniyao naahi"
[Amma, something must have happened. Do you know how much I jump? That's why that Akadbaggha calls me Junglee. It's a small wound I think. You don't worry.]


Meethi didn't argued with her but she felt strange & weird. But she kept mum.


Aryan called Meethi multiple times with waving his hand in front of her eyes. She snapped out of her thoughts.


"Aryan Babu, aisan hi nisaan humri Gudiya ke bhi gardan par rahe. Jon din uuke school maa oo naukari wali pariksha rahi, oo din raatma jab hum uuke sir ki tel se maalish karat rahe tab hum dekhe rahe. Tabhi humka ajeeb Lage rahe. Par Imlie humri baat taal dees."
[Aryan Babu, this similar mark is on my Gudiya's neck also. The day she had a interview in her school, that day at night when I was massaging her head, I saw that mark.]


"Wo gadhi hai. Humesha serious baatein ignore kar deti hai. Sabka khayal rakhti hai. Par jab uske khud ki baat aati hai to sab lightly leti hai."
[She is Stupid. Always ignores serious things. Takes care of everyone. But when it comes to herself, she takes everything lightly.]


Not realising Meethi is smiling at his complaint. He spoke in his trance when realised he stopped & looking embarassed at Meethi's smiling face. Finding appropriate words.



"Wo.. Actually... I... Mai.. Mai complaint nahi kar raha tha aapse."
[That…actually…I…I was not complaining to you.]


"Hum janat hai Aryan Babu."
[We know Aryan Babu.]

"Ab muze chalna chahiye."
[I gotta go now.]


Not knowing what to say he take a leave from there. Meethi bid good bye to him.



Back to present

She went in thinking while Imlie come from taking a bath, water droplets still dripping from her wet hairs. Satyakam notice worrylines on his wife's face. But kept quiet infront of Imlie & think he will ask her later. Imlie asked Meethi if Aryan goes or not.


"Amma oo Akadbaggha chala gava kaa? Thodi der bhi naahi ruka. Aaj itta sab Hui gava aur hum uuka Thankyou bhi naahi bol paaye. Agar hum uka abhi Thankyou naahi boli hai to humka neend nahi ayi hai raat ko. Uu kitta kuch kiye rahe humre khatir."
[Amma, has that Akadbaggha gone? He didn't stop even for a while. All this happened today and I couldn't even thank him. If I don't thank him now, I won't be able to sleep at night. He has done so much for me.]
