"Thank you, bachu!" Akruti says, pecking the child's cheek.
(Thank you, kiddo!)

"Zaroor Varun ka letter hoga. Padh lo mujhe bhi pata hai tum wait nahi kar sakti." Deepti teases Akruti.
(It must be Varun's letter. Read it, I know you cannot wait.)

"Padh leti hoon." Akruti says as she opens the letter with excitement.
(Let me read it.)

"Nani ki chitti?" Akruti says, confused.
(Grandma's letter?)

"Woh kyu chitti bhejigi? Padh lo." Deepti says.
(Why would she send a letter? Read it.)

"𝑴𝒚 𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒅 𝑨𝒌𝒓𝒖𝒕𝒊,

"Tune maaf kardiya?" Deepti asks.
(Have you forgiven her?)

"Haa, jo bura hua usko yaad karke mein kya ukaad lungi, sab se important cheez hai ki mere paas Varun and tum sab ho. Aur aaj woh meri shaadi pe nahi hai woh hi unki sab se badi zazaa hai." Akruti says.
(Yes, what will I get out of remembering what happened to me? The most important thing is that I have Varun and you all. Her biggest punishment is that she doesn't get to see me getting married.)

"Haa, woh bhi sahi hai. Chalo yeh sab chhodo, baaraat aa gayi hai." Deepti says excitedly.
(Yes, that is too true. Forget all of this now. The groom's side is here.)
