Some days elapse. It’s the evening when Nitya and Ruhana return home and plop down on the couch. The housemaid brings water for them and that’s when Nitya notices that her sister is silent; it seems like she’s thinking something. She throws a cushion at her sister and that breaks Ruhana’s trance and she glances at her sister.

“What?”

“I was nervous, Nitu. I don’t know what to feel. It’s something I’ve been wanting to do, but I couldn’t until today.” Ruhana replies, glancing at her sister.

“This was your first for our firm, Ruu. And you know what? I want you to handle everything so that I can pursue my passion.” Nitya chuckles.

“Ah! That's what you’re doing, Behna! But you know, it was all because you were there with me. Thank you.” Ruhana thanks her sister.

She stares at Ruhana for a few minutes before throwing another cushion on her face. Ruhana is startled at her act.

“Kya hai, Nitya? Do you want to engage in a cushion fight with me? You’ll lose!” Ruhana makes a face.
