Without changing she starts to prepare dinner. Door bell rings. She opens door. Karan was standing. She smiles. He dint give any response and goes to his room. Her face fell. She again gets busy in dinner. It was 9. Karan sits for dinner. She brings and serves him.

He took a bite. Eats it and makes faces.
Karan angrily: this happens when u do in hurry. No taste in this. Spoiled my dinner.
She takes a bite and eats.
Sona: everything is correct Karan.
