"I don't want to go to school, mumma." Aashna said as she gave Maya puppy eyes.
"Kyu nahi jana, baby?" Maya asked as she continued tying her hair.
Why don't you wanna go, baby?
"Diya is sick." Aashna said in a sad voice.
"She won't be attending." Maya said as she realised how her daughter doesn't wanna go to school without her best friend.
"So what? You can still go." Arjun said as he grabbed Aashna's hand.
"No papa. I don't want to." Aashna said as she shook her head.
"But why?" Arjun questioned with furrowed eyebrows.
"What why Arjun?" Maya said as she looked at her husband.
"What?" Arjun asked.
"How can she go if her best friend is gonna be absent today." Maya said as if it's the most obvious thing ever.
"I don't understand. Diya is sick, Aashna isn't. She can very well go to the school." Arjun said as he continued eating his breakfast.
"Aapke zamane mei ye hota hoga. Mere time se rules badal gaye hai." Maya said as she finished doing Aashna's hair.
That must've been how things go around in your era. The rules have changed since my time.
"Kya matlab?" Arjun asked as he stopped having his breakfast midway and looked at his wife.
What do you mean?
"Agar meri best friend school nahi jaa rahi to mai bhi nahi jaa rahi." Maya sassed as she brushed her hair off her shoulder and gave her husband a smile.
If my best friend isn't going to school, neither am I.
"Not that. What do you mean by 'aapka zamana'? Arjun said as he raise his two fingers and air-quoted his last two words.
'Your era'
"Aap mujhse bas thode se bade hai na." Maya said as she grabbed Arjun's jaw and said her words in a baby voice.
You're just a little elder to me.
"Sirf 6 saal." Arjun said in a flat voice.
Only 6 years.
"Sirf? Aap thode se buddhe hone lage hai, Arjun." Maya repeated in surprise and chuckled herself.
