Naina rings the doorbell of her home. As soon as her mother opens the door, by the look on her face Naina understands that it's the same old thing!
Shutting the door, whilst removing her footwear, Naina asks,
"Ab kya hua?"
Naina's mother takes a deep breath, shaking her head.
"Bus itna kaha tha ke phone ka bill bharna hai cheque bana dena. Aaj last date thi. Ab kal extra cost bhi dena hoga. Itna nahi kar payi tum?",
shouts Naina's father, standing in the drawing room of their home.
Naina takes a deep breath, lowering her eyes she shakes her head and leaves for her room.
"Main ghar mein free nahi baithi rehti! Dhero kaam parhe rehte hain.",
retorts Naina's mother, raising her voice, reaching her father.
"Kya kaam karti ho? Sirf serials hi to dekhne hote hain.",
shouts her father.
His words irk Naina as much they irk her mother. But she stays quiet, closing the door of her room.
"Sirf serials dekhti rehti hun? Khana to khud bann jata hai na?",
asks her mother out of anger.
"To main bhi to free nahi rehta. Janti ho dimag mein koi na koi tension rehta hai. Naina ki parhayi; Naina ka future; uski shadi.",
shouts her father.
"Unn tensions se kya hoga? Uske liye tumhe kuch karna hoga. Sirf tension lene se mushkilein hal nahi hoti. Insurance and all ke barey mein soch kar kuch nahi milta uske liye kuch karna parhta hai, jo tumse to mujhe nahi lagta hone wala hai.",
retorts her mother.
"Tumse mujhe kuch baat hi nahi karni.",
shouts her father and walks to the kitchen to place back his empty glass after drinking water, out of anger. In the process he by mistake kicks the dustbin lightly and some litter gets split.
This raises Naina's mother's anger.
"Ab aur kaam barha diya!",
she taunts.
Out of anger, Naina's father collects the litter back in the dustbin whilst asking,
"Ye kuda kya sajane ke liye rakha hai? Kudey wale ko kyun nahi deti?"
"Koi shok nahi hai mujhe aise rakhne ka. Aaj aya nahi kuda lene main kya karun?",
shouts her mother.
Out of anger, Naina's father picks up the dustbin.
"Ab kya kar rahe hain aap?",
shouts her mother.
Naina gets out of her room to see what's happening, knitting her brows, nervous and angry.
Walking to the balcony, he throws the wastes down which get flowed away with the sewage.
"Baba ye kya kiya apne?",
