(  Stands at the balcony in the dark night ) 

I never  knew... I never  knew that we are..

********* Flash back ******** 

Anurag rings the calling bell of his house...

No one opens...

He rings again...

No one opens...

( Inside the house )

Mom ( from kitchen ) : Beta open the door...

Uttara : ( chatting in phone with her friend ) Mom i am busy... you open...

Bell keeps on ringing...

Dad (  from his room ) : Someone open the door... 

Mom comes and  opens in a hurry...

Anurag comes inside  and   sits on sofa...

He ons t.v.. and keeps changing the channels...

Just then his phone rings...
He picks up the call...
Its his girlfriend  Kavitha, on the line...

Kavitha : Hellow baby what's up ?

Anurag : Just changing channels... ya locked at Ftv.. want any further update baby ?

Kavitha : Haha ya... I want second to second update about you... can't live without talking with you...

Anurag : Do I also have same facility of knowing your  second  to second  updates ?

Kavitha : Ya sure... its your right..

Anurag : Don't forget to give updates when you take bath... ( winks )

Kavitha : You naughty.. ( laughs )

( Standing at balcony and  laughing )

I never  knew... I never knew that we are..

****** Flash back again *******

Anurag's grandfather  comes and tries to take tablets on table...

He slips on floor..

Anurag comes and lifts him  asap...

Anurag : Dadaji... Why did you come.. ? you can just call any of us know ? see you might of hurted  now...

Dadaji :  Call any of you ? Haha... just look at each one of you..

Anurag sees...

His mom is busy in kitchen.. she is cooking and watching serial on phone same time...

His father is working on laptop and talking on phone with some one about markets...

His sister is in her room doing online shopping of dresses...

Dadaji : Who is free for  me beta ? ( smiles sadly )

Anurag takes his Dadaji to his room, gives tablets and  make him comfortable...

Anurag : Sorry Dadaji... is that the same condition like this in your generation days too ? In those old days... ?

Dadaji : Not at all.. in our those old days...  phones, laptops, bluetooths were not there as a barrier  in between people to stop them talking with each other...

Anurag lowers his face with shame...

( Standing  at  the balcony )

I never  knew  that people are in false intention that technology  made the world  small by bringing people close together... actually, they  just made our  hearts small.. ( smiles )

******  Again flashback *******

Anurag goes into kitchen... 

He  stops  his mom  from  putting  sugar in place of salt in parotha sabji, as she is busy in watching serial on her phone...

His   mother  says surprises saying, " Ooops "

Both of them look at eachother and laugh...

He then goes to his father's room... 

He forcefully takes his phone from his hands... closes laptop...

Dad confuses...

Anurag says, " papa office time is 9 to 5... now it's family time... ( smiles )

His father  smiles realizing his mistake...

He then goes to his sister's room...

He stops her  from using fb and WhatsApp and takes away her phone... 

Uttara : Bro... what is this ?

Anurag : Tomorrow, your exam... study..

Uttara : Ohho... its okay,  my friend will show paper during exam time...  no worries...

Anurag : Your friend will  not pay supplementary fee if you fail in the exam... already talk is there that you have a basket of backlogs... ( teases ) 

Uttara : Broooo... ( making a pout face }

Anurag : Bye... study well..  ( winks )

Saying this Anurag  goes out taking her  phone with him...

The man standing at balcony is Anurag himself... recollecting all the experience he had today.. 

Suddenly his phone rings... 

Its call from his girlfriend again...

He picks up the call... 

Kavitha : What baby...  no call since morning... you don't love me huh..

Anurag be calm...

Kavitha : My phone balance is also over... recharge it fast..

Anurag smiles...

Kavitha : Why are you not talking ? Are you busy ?

Anurag : No... Just now became free..  ( smiles }   

Saying this,  he leaves his  phone on ground and it breaks...

He turns back  with a bright smile on his face and walks inside the house...

( Atleast lets live the real life to the fullest till my phone gets repaired ) 

He goes into the house saying, " Dad,  come lets all have dinner together,  watching " ham apke  hai kaun movie...  "    

THE END
