A girl is sleeping, hanging half from bed, when the sun rays disturb her. She looks beside her to see a boy. She lied on the bed properly. 

G: Shek, parde band kar do na. { Shek, close the curtains no.}

Abhi: Mai so raha hu, khud karle. { I am sleeping, do it yourself.}

The girl groaned before getting up reluctantly and going to the washroom. After few minutes she came back while tying her hair to see Abhi still sleeping. 

G: Ab uth jao warna bistar se girne ko tayar ho jao. { Now get up or be ready to fall off the bed.}

Abhi: Avneetay, yeh galat hai. Mai tujhse bada hu phir bhi tu mujhe neeche gira deti hai. { Avneetay, this is wrong. I am elder to you yet you push me off the bed.}

He said while getting up. Avu ignored him and started folding her blanket. 

Avu: Jao na. Aur kaun kahega aap bade ho, aapko abhi bhi cartoons pasand hai. Kal phirse cartoon dikha rahe the. Aur jaha tak girane ki baat hai, toh aapke saath doosra insaan nahi tik sakta hai bistar par. Ab jao apne kamre mein. { Go no. And who will say you are elder, you still like cartoons. Yesterday again you were showing me cartoons. And about pushing off, no one can stay on the same bed as you. Now go to your room.}

Abhi: Hmm. Aur tu bhi hasti hai cartoon dekhkar, cartoon dekhne se koyi chota nahi hota. { Hmm. And even you laugh seeing the cartoons, no one becomes a child by seeing them.}

 Avu went to get ready. Abhi also went to his room. 

Avu's POV: 

I went downstairs to see Jaan already there. We went to the kitchen. 

Avu: Kya hua, abhi bhi itni neend mein dikh rahi hai? { What happened, you still look so sleepy?}

Jaan: Arre yaar, kal raat ko bhi itne late tak baju wale ghar ke bache cartoon dekh rahe the. Raat ke 2 baje tak tv kaun dekhta hai? { Yesterday night also the kids of our neighbor were watching cartoons till so late. Who watches tv till 2 at night?}

As usual it was Abhi watching the cartoons, which the kids in our neighbor's house got blamed for. 

Avu: Oh. Toh tu jaldi kyu uth gayi? { Oh. Then why did you wake up early?}

Jaan: Jaise tujhe nahi pata. Fais jab gym jata hai, itna shor karta hai ki meri neend khul jati hai baaju wale kamre mein rehne ki wajah se. Aur ek woh kumbhkaran hai, jo 12 12 baje tak soti rehti hai. { Like you don't know. Whenever Fais goes to gym, he creates so much noise that I wake up because of being in the adjacent room. And that kumbhkaran, she keeps sleeping till 12.}

Avu: Toh tu aur Reem room exchange kyu nahi kar lete? Fais jitna bhi shor kare, woh nahi uthegi. { Then why don't you and Reem exchange rooms? How much ever noise Fais makes, she won't wake up.}

Jaan: Subah jaldi uth sakti hu mai, par apna pyara room nahi chod sakti. { I can wake up early in the morning, but not leave my lovely room.}

Avu(teasingly): Tera pyaara room hai isliye nahi chodna chahti ya... { You don't want to leave it because it is your lovely room or...}

Sm1: Good morning guys. 

Avu: Aaj suraj kaha se nikla hai? Fais gym se itna jaldi wapas aa gaya. { From where did the sun rise today? Fais returned so early from gym.}

Fais: Aaj gym nahi tha khula, toh mai sirf jogging karke aa gaya. Waise tera is Friday kya plan hai? { Today the gym wasn't open, so I just did jogging and came. Btw what is your plan this Friday?}

Avu: Kyu? { Why?}

Jaan: Arre ha, teri aur Abhi ki one year anniversary aa rahi hai na? Ek saal ho gaya tum dono ko date karte hue. { Oh yeah, yours and Abhi's one year anniversary is coming right? It has been one year since you both are dating.}

Avu:  Abhi kuch plan nahi kiya hai. Humse zyada tum dono excited rehte ho. Har mahine celebrate karte ho humara 1 month anniversary, 2 month anniversary, etc. { Right now there are no plans. You both are always more excited than us. Every month you celebrate our 1 month anniversary, 2 months anniversary, etc.}

Jaan: Toh? Tum dono ek laute couple ho is ghar mein. { So? You both are the only couple in our home.}

Avu: Koyi baat nahi, jald hi do ya teen honge. { It's fine, soon it will be two or three.}

I said, referring to Faisnat and Jaireem. 

Jaan: Matlab? { What do you mean?}

Avu: Kuch nahi. { Nothing.}

We were randomly talking when Abhi also came there. 

Abhi: Good morning guys. 

All except Abhi: Good morning Abhi/ Shek. 

Abhi: Reem uthi ya so rahi hai abhi bhi? { Reem woke up or is she still sleeping?}

Avu: Aapki behen hai, jaldi kaise uth sakti hai khud se? Aap jao aur uthao use. Aur aap baadme mujhe drop kar doge na meri job ke liye? { She is your sister, how can she wake up early by herself? You go and wake her up. And you'll drop me for my job later right?}

Abhi: Ha. Mujhe bhi aaj studio jana hai. { Yes. Even I have to go to studio today.}

Fais: Par aaj toh Sunday hai na? { But it's Sunday today right?}

Abhi: Ha, par kal tumhare final exam aur college khatam hone ki khushi mein jo treat rakhi thi, uski wajah se mai nahi ja paya. Toh bache aaj aa rahe hai. Mai Reem ko utha ke aata hu. { Yeah, but because of the treat we kept yesterday in happiness of your exams and college ending, I couldn't go. So the kids are coming today. I'll wake Reem and come.}

He went upstairs to Reem's room, which is adjacent to a spare room. Except those two, there is my room and Abhi's room. Faisnat's rooms and two more spare rooms are downstairs. Two of the spare rooms are for Vaishu and Chote Nigam, they'll be returning within few months. They have been out of India for two years now, for their studies. They have the graduation day on the same day as ours. Their jobs are in India only.
