One shot
On terrace we can see two children are playing. We can see a boy taking chocolate from girl’s hand and running to other connected terrace. He climbs the ladder fastly and goes back of tank. As the girl is scared to climb the ladder, she gets disappointed and goes down where all are chit- chatting.

Lucky and sanky started talking. Soon they became good friends. Swara is talking to his cousins. Lucky and sanky also joined them. He observed she is speaking less.
Sanskar: lucky, did your sister keep any challenge to be silent.
Lucky: no, actually she won’t speak much.
Sanskar: but I remember she used to speak a lot when we were small.
Lucky: even now she speaks, but only with her close friends… One min.
Di, your friend called.

Sanskar: what are you doing?
Swara: reading story.
Sanskar: oh good. So you like to read books.
Swara: yes
Sanskar: man what happened to you. Speak something. Seriously, you are a dumb head. Speak… Speak…..
When he was busy in talking to himself, swara started to move from there. Sanskar saw this.
Sanskar: hey shona wait. She gets shocked and turns. No one of her age people called her like this in family party. She silently goes with her mother and comes back.

Sanskar to himself: man you again scared her. (To her) can we be friends again?
Swara: again??
Sanskar: actually we were friends in childhood na.. so…
