[Suvahan’s car came to a smooth stop a few feet away from the entrance. The evening was quiet, the soft hum of the engine the only sound between them.]

(forcing a smile): Bohot achha tha, Daadi sa. (It was very good, Daadi sa.)
[Just as she sat down, Ishaan, her ever-curious cousin, burst into the room, looking half out of breath. His eyes widened as he pointed at Lakshita dramatically.]

(sternly): Kaun tha? (Who was he?)

[Lakshita felt her heartbeat quicken. Every eye was on her. She glanced at Kavya, who looked equally panicked. Thinking fast, she straightened up and put on her best confident face.]
Lakshita Rajput/FL
Lakshita Rajput/FL
(calmly): Neha ka pati tha, Daadi sa. (It was Neha’s husband, Daadi sa.)
[Silence. A long pause. Even Ishaan, who had been ready to spill the truth, blinked in confusion.]
Ishaan Rajput/Fl cousin
Ishaan Rajput/Fl cousin
(frowning): Par Neha ki shaadi toh— (But Neha’s wedding—)

(sweetly): Bas bas, bohot baatein ho gayi. Daadi sa, chai thandi ho jayegi. (Enough, enough, we’ve talked a lot. Daadi sa, your tea will get cold.)
[Parvati Devi stared at Lakshita for a long moment, as if searching her face for any deception. But Lakshita held her ground, looking calm and composed.]

Lakshita Rajput/FL

(smiling sweetly): Ji, Daadi sa. (Yes, Daadi sa.)
[The conversation shifted, but Kavya and Lakshita exchanged a look—one of pure relief. Meanwhile, Ishaan sat there, rubbing his foot, still confused about what just happened.]
