It's about the time in 2010, when there wasn't much craze for phones. It was a time when we used to transfer songs via Bluetooth and listen to them. Doordarshan shows were the main thing on TV, and every home had the radio playing.

Her sister came and started talking "This is the hundredth time I'm shouting at you! Do you even listen to me? You're acting like a little girl! You have everything—what the hell is this, Devi?!"

Her sister lowers her voice and continue.

"Have some patience, don't be so immature You knew you were from a middle-class family, you had to get married someday but why are you sitting here angrily? You've already rejected 10 boys. Now tell me the truth and do you like someone else?" Devi's sister asked me.

Devi said, "No." bringing tears to her eyes.

"Devi, say something, this isn't right. It's your attitude. Just say yes to the next guy that comes. Mom is tired. Just because Dad listens to you doesn't mean you can do whatever you want." Her sister is shouting.

Devi didn't say anything. She just nodded and stayed silent. Devi's sister, Kavita, called Devi's best friend. Kavita came outside and said, "Janvi, ask her yourself. This girl doesn't say yes to any boy. The last one even had a government job, but all she shows crocodile's tear and never explains anything."

Janvi said, "I'll talk to her, Dee. Don't worry."

Janvi came to her house and said, "You didn't come to college yesterday. Here, take the notes."

Sitting on her bed, she was looking at Devi, wondering what had happened. After thinking for a while, Janvi asked, "Are you okay? Did you break up?"

"Someone needs to be there for a breakup to happen," Devi said while opening the notes.

"So, you didn't like the guy? Your elder sister is worried. Your brother-in-law is nice. You will also marry someone like him. she is happy. What's the problem?"

"Janvi, don't come here just to listen to my sister's complaints," Devi said angrily.

"Then what should I do? I also care, okay? Think of me like your sister."

"Pleaseeee!!!, if you were my sister, you wouldn't ask this. And if you were, don't ask me this question again."

Janvi started thinking. This drama has been going on for a year, and she was determined to find out what was wrong with Devi. After saying goodbye, Janvi left Devi's house, determined to uncover the truth. Sitting at home, eating almonds, she started making paper balls and throwing them into the dustbin.

"Missed the shot again! What is happening? My aim is so bad," Janvi muttered to herself.

Her brother came over and said, "Dee, give me 50 rupees."

"Just because you're younger, do you think I'll keep giving you money? I do not own money tree. I don't earn money. It's my savings."

"How will you earn? You can't even manage to standup and throw garbage into the dustbin."

"Don't annoy me, Yogesh. Get out of here."

"Kanjoos (Miser)!"

"Get lost!" Janvi said angrily.

"Kanjoosss (Miser)!" His brother teasing her.

Next day at college...

Janvi was walking to college. Yogesh was teasing a girl, so Janvi took off her slipper and threw it at him.

"Don't let me see you again with your useless friends!" Yogesh ran off with his friends.

Just then, Devika was walking by. Janvi saw her and said, "Hey Devika! You didn't come yesterday either. What's going on with you two? Even your names are the same!"
