“you!…”sunny forward toward her but pari runs and hides behind swara.sunny also runs after her and both start fighting while swara was trying to stop their fight.during all this sanskar was doing his favorite work of staring swara.
Meanwhile a small boy comes in front of him and crossed his arms over chest.
“why are you starring at her?”he asked in anger filled voice.sanskar shifts his gaze from swara to him.
“and why should i tell you this?”sanskar asked in serious tone.
“stop starring at my future girlfriend…”boy glares at him.sanskar looks at him from top to bottom and laughed loudly.
“don’t laugh…i will tell her”boy said angrily.sanskar quickly holds his arm and controls his laugh.
“what is your age?..”sanskar asked while chuckling.
“why should i tell you this?”boy asked with both raised eye brows.
“have you seen her age…..”sanskar said in calm soft tone,amused from that little boy and looked at swara.he was dumbfound there.swara was sitting betwen sunny and pari and was laughing whole heartedly.at that time rain drops started falling down/

“shit!..’sanskar rubs his forehead.swara stops jumping,first looks at kid then at him.
“don’t listen to him..’sanskar said quickly,trying hard to compose himself.boy holds pari and takes to side angrily while blabbering in anger continuously.
“oye..where are you taking my sister”sunny said angrily, like over protective brother and quickly goes after them,leaving sanskar and swara alone.
“kids now a days”sanskar muttered and closed his eyes,understanding that boy was talking about pari.
“what were you saying sir…what shouldn’t i listen?”swara asked confusingly.
“are you a kid?…who plays with kids in this age?”sanskar said,making his voice firm.
“yes i am a kid,what is your problem sir?…its my life,i can do whatever i want.”swara said angrily.
“whatever…childish act is only expected from you”sanskar muttered and turned and walked toward house.
“what did you say?..i didn’t hear it”swara said angrily,walks after him and quickly matches his long strides.
