Observing her audition, he says, "There is something eerily familiar about you. Have we met?"
She confusely replies, "I don't believe so. Are you sure?"
He responds, "It is like a forgotten memory trying to resurface."
She says with curiosity, "Mayb...

"Okk fine, if your romance era ended," Madhav said dramatically while taking long gulps from the bottle, "can we please do our last part work today? Because after that I swear I am throwing myself on my bed and waking up exactly two days later."
Revati rolled her eyes. "Just eleven floors, Madhav..."
"Also ran while carrying the princess," he repeated stubbornly, wiping his mouth. "THAT should come in the count."
"Arreh bas bas, we understood," Baladev laughed, patting Madhav's back. "So what's the deal? Why did you say we should stay here and not go upstairs?"
"I told you two to stay back because of her father only," Madhav said, lowering his voice. "If you hadn't stayed here and instead gone upstairs... then congratulations, a full-blown chaos would have already started."
Revati blinked. "Well , truly... one needs courage to stand against her father and talk straightward."
Madhav leaned against the wall, still breathing a little heavier than normal. "Yeah as the time you kept Radhika's father busy... I was at her door, waiting for her to enter in her apartment."
Both Revati and Baladev froze.

Madhav nodded. "Ballu's 'Coke... lift... liftttt!!!' performance basically made Uncle think I was still downstairs and I understood that he was going to take the lift. And since he took the lift... I had to run down."
Revati slapped her forehead. "So you mean if we had gone up... Uncle and Madhav would have met inside the building?"
"Exactly," Madhav said.

Madhav glared. "Very funny."
"Still I guess there is a last work left we have to deal with.. right?" Revati asked narrowing her eyes as she knew that it wasn't the only reason Madhav told them to stay downstairs.
Madhav clearly understanding Revati's tone ,"There was ..... but I am sure now, Radhika could handle it !"
"Sure?" Baladev asked in confusion.
"Hundred to the power infinite mere bhai (my brother) let's head back now or else give me a pillow here , I am gonna sleep here." Madhav exclaimed.
Baladev and Revati laughed a little and said,"Let's go" in unison.
MEANWHILE IN RADHIKA'S APARTMENT
Radhika hurried into her room the moment the door closed behind her. Her fingers trembled slightly as she slipped out of her heavy ghaghra choli and stuffed it in her cupboard. The relief was instant. She pulled on her soft cotton T-shirt and pajama, finally able to breathe without feeling layers of fabric weighing her down.
