"Theek hai." Varun says as he hangs up the phone.
(Okay).

"Haye meri bachi. Kitni badi ho gayi hai." She says as she gets a bit of kohl from her eyes and applies it to the back of Akruti's ear. "Meri bachi ko nazar na lage." Her eyes get teary.
(Oh, my child. How mature you have become.)
(May you be protected from the evil eye, my child.)

"Arrey Auntie ji, aap kyu esi senti ho rahi hai? Abhi kaha ja rahi hoon?" Akruti says, comforting Auntie Jaya.
(Oh, Auntie, why are you being so sentimental? I am not going yet, am I?)

"Shaadi ke baad hume na bhul jana." Deepti says.
(Don't forget about us after you get married.)

"Main? Aur bhul jau aapko? Ho hi nahi sakta." Akruti says confidently.
(Me? And forget you? Not possible.)

"Chalo ab nikalte hai, Disha kaha hai? Tayar hui hai ya nahi?" Jaya auntie asks.
(Come on, let's leave. Where is Disha? Has she got ready or not?)

"Ha woh aa rahi hai, abhi usko leke aati hu neeche, Saanvi di ko bhi message kardiya hai woh Jiju ke saath waha hi milege." Deepti says as she leaves the room.
(Yes, she is coming, I will come downstairs after getting her, I've also messaged Saanvi di, she says she will come with brother-in-law and meet us there.)

"Theek hai, main aur Akku neeche jaate hai." Auntie Jaya says.
(Okay, me and Akku will go downstairs.)

"Oh ho, abhi se phool waala swagat." Disha says teasing Akruti.
(Oh ho, already a flowery welcome.)

"Akruti beta tum aa gayi?" Mrs Bharadwaj comes to the door greeting Akruti with a smile.
(Akruti, you have arrived?)

"Ha, auntie ji. Kaisi hai aap?" Akruti says, also greeting Mrs Bharadwaj with a smile. She touches Mrs Bharadwaj's feet for blessings.
(Yes, Auntie Ji. How are you?)

"Betiya pair nahi chuti, aur abse mujhe Maa bulana. Andar aao, Jayant aur Varun bhi aa rahe hoge. Tab tak tum Saanvi aur Rehan se mil lo, Akku beta do minute ke liye tum rasoi mein aaogi?" Mrs Bharadwaj says.
(Girls don't touch feet, and from now on, call me Maa. Come in, Jayant and Varun should be coming down soon. Until then, greet Rehan and Saanvi. Akku, will you come into the kitchen for 2 minutes?)
