After a slight knock, the door to my bedroom opens. I look up from the textbook to my father. "Hello, Mr. Mehrotra. I'm Arjun, Falak's father." My father says on the line and my eyes widen. Mehrotra? Advik's father? Why him? Sahil said he's the strictest of their parents.

The rough voice from the other ends filters through the phone. I walk to my father who settles down on my bed's edge, smile on his face when my horrified eyes meets his.

"Falak? Falak Khanna?" Advik's father asks, I hear the mumbling in the background going silent. "It's Falak's phone Dadda? Can I speak--" I hear Ahaana yell in the background before her voice is muffled down. Advik's father clears throat before speaking, "Yes, Mr. Khanna."

"Falak told me about the kids' trip to Lonavala and she is interested in joining them, if it's alright with you?" My father lets me sit on his thigh.

"Yes, definitely. We would love to have Falak with us. My Bade-Papa...umm.. Sahil's grandfather is going to be accompanying the kids with our close house-helps. We have cameras installed there and I will share the details with you so you can check on Falak yourself whenever you want. They are not allowed to step out of the property once they reach, so you don't have to worry about that as well. Terrace is off limits. The swimming instructor will be coming from 5-7pm everyday and only then the kids will be allowed to enter the pool. When the instructor comes, bade-papa and our other trusted people will be around. Sahil & Advik will let Falak know other rules as well." His father starts to rant in one go which only makes the smile on my father's face widen.

"We are going to be looking after her like our own daughter, Mr. Khanna." Advik's father says in a calm voice after a moment of silence.

"Thankyou so much, Mr. Mehrotra. I will drop Falak to your house on Sunday at 10am." At my father's words, my lips stretch into the widest grin I could manage. They disconnect the call and I wrap myself around my father's body who laughs loudly at my happiness.
