We're so proud of you, Aarohi. You've always been our brightest star.
Keshav Das(fl dad)
Yes beta, you've worked hard for this. But we need to talk about how we'll manage the expenses for your masters studies.
Aarohi Das(Fl)
I know it's expensive, papa. The scholarship covers some, but not everything. How will we manage?
Komal Das(fl mom)
Your father and I have discussed this. We want you to go, no matter what. I've decided to sell my gold jewelry to help with the costs.
Aarohi Das(Fl)
(shocked) Maa, no! Your jewelry......those are your wedding gifts from papa. I can't let you do that.
Komal Das(fl mom)
