(It's 08:30 AM, and Riya is talking to Ridhaan on the phone.)

Riya- Haan haan of course. Ab doston ke liye time kahan milega. Ab girlfriend jo aa gayi hai.

[Riya- Yes, yes, of course. Now how will you get time for friends? Now your girlfriend is here, right?]

Ridhaan- Tu naa jyaada mat bol samjhi. Jab se husband aaya hai tere paas bhi kahan time bacha hai.

[Ridhaan- Don't speak too much, okay? Even you don't have time ever since your husband has come.]

Riya- Mera case naa alag hai okay. Hum ne abhi shift kiya hai yahan pe so we are still adjusting here. Par tune to jab se propose kiya hai tab se kuch ata pata hi nahi hai.

[Riya- My case is different, okay. We have just shifted here, so we are still adjusting here. But ever since you have proposed to her, you have just gone invisible.]

Ridhaan- Koyi baat nahi. Tu aaj aa hospital aur main tujhe saara ata pata deta hoon.

[Ridhaan- No problem. You come to the hospital today, and I will tell you everything.]

Riya- Haan haan theek hai. Milti hoon tujh se jaldi okay?

[Riya- Yes, yes, okay. I will meet you soon, okay?]

Ridhaan- Hmm, okay. I will see you at the hospital.

Riya- Hmm, okay, Bye.

Ridhaan- Bye.

(She cuts the call and chuckles.)

Riya- Already 08:30 ho gaye hain. Nikal jaati hoon abhi.

[Riya- It is 08:30 already. I should leave now.]

(She then enters the room and opens the door to receive a big shock.)

Riya (shocked)- What are you doing, Manik? Aur ye room ki kya halat kar di hai?

[Riya (shocked)- What are you doing, Manik? And what have you done to the room?]

(She looks around the room, and there are files and papers scattered all around.)

Manik- Meri file nahi mil rahi hai aur mujhe vo chahiye office mein aaj. Yahin baaki files ke saath rakhi thi pata nahi kahan chali gayi.

[Manik- I can't find my file, and I need it in the office today. It was here with the rest of the files. I don't know where it went.]

Riya- To aaram se to dhundo naa. Aise to aur nahi milne wali hai.

[Riya- So find it carefully. You are not going to find it like this.]

Manik- Tum baatein mat karvao mujhe yaar. File dhundo mere saath, mujhe meeting mein chahiye aaj.

[Manik- Don't make me talk right now. Find the file with me. I need it in the meeting today.]

Riya- Haan haan baba. Dhund rahi hoon. Kon si file hai ye to batao.

[Riya- Yes, yes. I am looking for it. Tell me which file it is.]

(Manik tells her the details, and she, too, starts looking for it in the room. She then sees a file popping out from behind the cushion on the couch and picks it up. She reads the contents and shakes her head in disbelief as it is the same file he is looking for.)

Riya- Ye rahi aap ki file Mr. Malhotra. Cushion ke peeche padi thi.

[Riya- Here is your file, Mr Malhotra. It was behind the cushion.]

Manik- Thank God.

(He takes the file from her, checks everything, and sighs in relief from finding all the documents inside the file safe.)

Manik- Thank you so so much. You saved my day, Riya. Agar ye nahi milti naa to aaj deal nahi ho paati. Thank you.

[Manik- Thank you so so much. You saved my day, Riya. If this was not available, the deal could not have been done today. Thank you.]

Riya- It's...

(She is about to speak further, but Manik pulls her in for a tight hug and kisses her forehead.)

Manik- Abhi I am leaving. Bohot late ho gaya hai. I will call you once I get free. Okay, bye.

[Manik- Now, I am leaving. It's too late. I will call you once I get free. Okay, bye.]

Riya- Okay okay but aaram se drive karna. Thoda late ho jaoge to chalega.

[Riya- Okay, okay, but drive with ease. It will be fine if you are a little late.]

Manik- Yes, sure. Okay, bye now. Take care.

Riya- Bye. Take care.

(He then leaves for work, and Riya smiles, thinking about him. She, too, then gets ready and leaves for the hospital.)

(Manik is in his cabin, working on his laptop, when he receives a call from Riya. He smiles and answers her call.)

Riya- Hello, Husband. How are you doing?

Manik- Well, hello, Wife. Your husband is doing good. What about you?

Riya (chuckles)- I am doing good too. So how did your meeting go, Mr Malhotra? Did you reach on time?

Manik- Haan haan. The meeting went well but 10 minute late ho gaya naa. But chalo koyi baat nahi.

[Manik- Yes yes. The meeting went well but I was 10 minutes late. But it's okay.]

Riya- But tumhe vaise bhi to 8:45 pe hi jaana tha. To late kaise ho gaye?

[Riya- But you had to leave at 8:45 anyway. So how did you get late?]

Manik- Vo mam you don't know my wife actually. Vo bohot strict hai aur har baar mujh pe gussa karti rehti hai. Aur usne subha kaha ki Manik car tezz mat chalana to maine nahi chalayi. Mujhe usse gussa nahi dilana naa.

[Manik- Mam, you don't know my wife, actually. She is very strict and keeps getting angry with me every time. And she told me not to drive rashly in the morning, so I didn't. I didn't want to make her angry, actually.]

Riya- Hahaha. Ho gaya Manik?

[Riya- Hahaha. Are you done, Manik?]

Manik (laughs)- Okay, okay, fine. Why did you call, by the way? All okay?

Riya- Tum aaj shaam ko free ho Manik?

[Riya- Are you free this evening, Manik?]

Manik- Hmm shaam ko to free hoon. Par hua kya?

[Manik- Hmm, I am free in the evening. But what happened?]

Riya- Great. Let's go shopping.

Manik- Shopping? Par tumhe to shopping pasand nahi hai naa.

[Manik- Shopping? But you don't like shopping, do you?]

Riya- Mujhe shopping naa pasand nahi hai Manik. I am just not as crazy about shopping as other girls.

[Riya- I don't dislike shopping, Manik. I am just not as crazy about shopping as other girls.]

Manik- Okay okay. Par jaana kahan hai aur kya lena hai tumhe?

[Manik- Okay, okay. But where are you going and what do you want to buy?]

Riya- Kuch special nahi lena hai. I thought ki ab hum ne shift kar liya hai yahan pe, so why not get some stuff to make our home look more pretty. Aur tumhara bhi ghar hai naa to tumhara suggestion bhi chahiye hoga. Isiliye tum se pucha.

[Riya- I don't have to buy something special. Now that we have shifted here, why not get some stuff to make our home look more pretty. And this is your house, too, so your choices matter too. That's why I asked you.]

Manik- Hmm, that's a nice idea, actually. So you reach home by 05:30 naa. I will come home by 6, and then we can go. Okay?

Riya- Sounds great. Thanks, Manik.

Manik- Arey ab iss mein thanks kyu? Tumhara ghar hai aur tumhara pati hai. Jo marzi karo aur karva lo.

[Manik- Hey, why thanks? It's your house, and I am your husband. Do whatever you want and make me do anything too.]

Riya- Shut up, Manik. Bye. I need to attend to a patient.

Manik- Hmm. Okay, bye.

(They end the call and later get busy with their work.)

(Ashwin and Anita are sitting in their room and talking about some stuff when suddenly Riya's topic comes up.)

Ashwin (sighing)- Jab bhi iss ladki ki baat aati hai saara mood kharaab ho jaata hai.

[Ashwin (sighing)- Whenever it comes to this girl, the whole mood gets spoiled.]

Anita- Iska naam pata nahi Riya kyu hai. Musibat hona chahiye tha iska naam to.

[Anita- I don't know why her name is Riya. Her name should have been trouble.]

Ashwin- Kon sa itni mehnat lagi thi uska naam decide karne mein. Itna common saa naam hai rakh diya bas. Vo gardener ki beti ka naam bhi to tha naa Riya. Ussi se to iska naam rakha tha.

[Ashwin- It didn't even take much effort to decide the name. It is such a common name, so we went with it. That gardener's daughter's name was also Riya. That was why we named her Riya too.]

Anita- Huh. Naam mein kya rakha hai. Kismat to dekho madam ki. Manik ko alag karva diya uski family se. Aur ab alag mansion mein maharani ki tarhan reh rahi hogi madam.

[Anita- Huh. What's in the name. Look at her fate. She separated Manik from his family. And now madam will live like the queen in a separate mansion.]

(Ashwin starts laughing loudly at this point, and Anita looks confused.)

Ashwin- Ye jab bhi Riya aur family words ek sentence mein use hote hai naa, meri hassi nahi rukti hai. Kya pata uss ladki ko family ke baare mein. Aur usse kaise samajh aayega family ka matlab? Iss ghar mein itne saal thi naa vo, ek bhi insaan aisa hai jo usse pyaar karta ho. Ek bhi insaan se acha rishta hai uska yahan? Itne papad bele hai naa iss ladki ke liye ufff.

[Ashwin- I can't stop laughing whenever these words Riya and family are used in the same sentence. What does that girl know about family? And how will she even understand the meaning of family? She had been in this house for many years, and nobody here loved her. Does she have a good relationship with even a single person here? We had to work so hard because of this girl, God!]

Anita- Aur sab se zyaada mehnat to Aryaman ko bewakoof banane mein lagi hai. Mujhe to vo humara beta lagta hi nahi hai. Par kya kare, ab hai vo humara beta. Usse apne saamne ho rahi cheezen nahi samajh aati hai. Pata nahi itna pyaar kyu karta hai tum se. Apni behen takk ko to bacha nahi paya vo kabhi. Aur humare har jhoot pe bharosa karta gaya.

[Anita- And we had to work the hardest to fool Aryaman. I don't think he is our son at all. But what can we do? He is our son. He doesn't understand the things happening in front of him. I don't know why he loves you so much. He could never save his sister. And kept on believing all our lies.]

Ashwin (laughing more loudly)- Tumhe lagta hai ki Aryaman ko kabhi pata chalega? Ki humne Riya ke saath kya kya kiya hai? Koyi chance hi nahi hai. Ek bhi proof nahi choda hai humne kahin. Koyi kuch nahi bigaad sakta humara.

[Ashwin (laughing more loudly)- Do you think Aryaman will ever find out? About what have we done with Riya? There's no chance. We have not left a single proof anywhere. No one can harm us.]

(They laugh out loud but suddenly get silent when they hear something falling from outside. They both go out and find a broken vase outside their room. A servant comes to them and bends his head before speaking up.)

Servant- Sorry sir sorry mam. Vo ye vase cracked tha par hum change karna bhool gaye. Main abhi saaf kar deta hoon ye sab.

[Servant- Sorry sir, sorry mam. The vase was cracked, but we forgot to change it. I'll just clear it all up.]

Anita- Jaldi saaf karo ye sab aur vo naya vase rakho yahan pe.

[Anita- Clean everything quickly and keep a new vase here.]

(The servant then cleans the floor, and they both go inside the room again.)

(It's 06:00 PM, and Riya is getting ready while Manik is about to reach home. The doorbell rings after a few minutes, and the servant opens the door. Manik comes inside, and the butler comes to him.)

Kaka- Manik baba aap fresh ho jaiye main snacks room mein bhej deta hoon.

[Kaka- Manik sir, you freshen up. I will send snacks to your room.]

Manik- Kon se snacks banaye hai aap ne Kaka?

[Manik- What snacks have you made, Uncle?]

Kaka- Maine nahi banaye hain baba. Riya beti ne banaye hain. Kaam se aate hi sidha kitchen mein aa gayi thi vo. Ki unn ko aap ke liye kuch banana hai. Sab unhone hi banaya hai.

[Kaka- I have not made them, Sir. Riya mam has made them. She came straight to the kitchen as soon as she came from work. That she has to make something for you. She has made all the snacks.]

(Manik thinks something at this and, for now, nods his head in a yes to Kaka.)

Manik- Thodi der baad room mein bhijva dena Kaka.

[Manik- Send them to the room after some time, Uncle.]

Kaka- Theek hai baba.

[Kaka- Okay, sir.]

(Manik goes to the room upstairs and finds Riya getting ready. She sees him entering and comes to him with a smile.)

Riya- Manik.

(He, too, smiles at her, and they both hug each other. He then takes a sigh and breaks the hug.)

Riya- I am almost ready and tum bhi fresh ho jao aur change kar lo and then have something. And...

[Riya- I am almost ready, and you also get fresh and change and then have something. And...]

Manik- Ye sab ho jayega, but before that, we need to talk about something.

[Manik- All this will be done, but before that, we need to talk about something.]

Riya- Yes, of course.

Manik- Aise nahi. Come.

[Manik- Not like this. Come.]

(He takes her to the bed and makes her sit, sitting beside her. He then holds her hand and caresses it gently while she looks at him a little confused.)

Riya- Kya hua Manik? Kya baat karni hai tumhe?

[Riya- What happened, Manik? What do you want to talk about?]

Manik- The room was a mess in the morning, right? You arranged everything here?

Riya- Haan Manik. Abhi hospital se aake hi kiya hai. Par hua kya hai?

[Riya- Yes, Manik. I did it after coming back from the hospital. But what happened?]

Manik- Aur aaj subha breakfast kisne banaya tha?

[Manik- And who made breakfast this morning?]

Riya- Maine banaya tha Manik. Kyu kya hua?

[Riya- I did, Manik. Why? What happened?]

Manik- Aur lunch kisne banaya tha?

[Manik- And who made lunch?]

Riya- Lunch to butlers banate hai Manik. Tumhe pata to hai. Phir aise kyu puch rahe ho?

[Riya- Butlers make lunch, Manik. You know it. Then why are you asking like this?]

Manik- Ye evening snacks and dinner, ye sab bhi tum karti ho?

[Manik- These evening snacks and dinner, do you do all this too?]

Riya- I don't do everything Manik par beech beech mein karna padta hai naa. Saara kaam Kaka pe nahi chod sakte naa. And tum bhi kitna thakk jaate ho roz office mein to...

[Riya- I don't do everything, Manik, but I need to do it in between. We can't leave everything to Uncle, right? And you also get so tired in the office every day...]

Manik- To tum nahi thakti roz?

[Manik- So you don't get tired every day?]

Riya- What? Kya bol rahe ho Manik? Hua kya hai ye to batao.

[Riya- What? What are you saying, Manik? At least tell me what has happened?]

Manik- Hua ye hai ki iss pure week main inn sab baaton pe dhyaan nahi de paya, and I am sorry about that, but we need to make a schedule. I will make dinner if you are making breakfast or those snacks. And if you make dinner, I will make the breakfast and evening snacks.

[Manik- What has happened is that I couldn't focus on these things this week, and I am sorry about that, but we need to make a schedule. I will make dinner if you are making breakfast or those snacks. And if you make dinner, I will make the breakfast and evening snacks.]

Riya- Manik aise nahi ho payega aur tumhe to ache se cooking bhi nahi aati hai itni. Main manage kar lungi sab tum tension mat lo.

[Riya- Manik won't work like this, and you don't even know how to cook well. I will manage everything, don't worry.]

Manik- Ji nahi. We need to divide things. Meri tarhan tum bhi bahar se thakk ke shaam ko aati ho and I can't give you more stress. Hum dono ka ghar hai to hum dono ki responsibilities hain. So abhi aaj to bahar jaa rahe hai, but kal se I will participate in all this stuff. And khaana banana hi to hai. Seekh jaunga main. Yaa tum bata dena aur main kar dunga. Okay?

[Manik- No. We need to divide things. Like me, you also come from work in the evening, and I can't give you more stress. It's our house, so we both will have to take up responsibilities. So today we are going out, but I will participate in all this stuff from tomorrow too. And it's just cooking. I will learn, or you can tell me, and I will do it. Okay?]

Riya- Mujhe koyi problem nahi hai aise karne mein Manik, but tum bhi to raat ko tired hote ho naa. And the dinner making and all, I don't want to stress you.

[Riya- I don't have any problem doing this, Manik, but you also get tired at night, don't you? And the dinner making and all, I don't want to stress you.]

Manik- And I don't want to burden you with all this. Aur khaana dono khaate hai naa to banane ka kaam sirf ek kyu kare? Jitna main tired hota hoon utna tum bhi hoti ho. So it's final now that we both are dividing all the responsibilities. Cooking ke saath saath baaki sab bhi. I will assist you with everything. Okay? Aur tum mujhe daant bhi sakti ho agar main kuch galat karu to. You have all the right.

[Manik- And I don't want to burden you with all this. And we both will be eating, so why should only one cook? You are as tired as I am. So it's final now that we both are dividing all the responsibilities. Everything else, along with cooking too. I will assist you with everything. Okay? And you can even scold me if I do something wrong. You have all the right.]

Riya- But iska ye matlab nahi hai ki saare rights sirf mere paas hi hai. You too have the right to scold me when I do something wrong or mujhe bolna okay jab main koyi galti karu.

[Riya- But this doesn't mean I only have all the rights. You, too, have the right to scold me when I do something wrong and do tell me when I do something wrong.]

Manik- Done.

Riya- Ye sab to kal se start hoga par abhi go get fresh. Phir jaana bhi hai hume.

[Riya- All this will begin tomorrow, but for now, get fresh. Then we need to leave too.]

Manik- Hmm.

(Manik removes his watch, keeps it on the table, and takes his clothes from the closet. Riya thinks about their recent conversation and smiles. She gets up and goes to the closet.)

Riya- Manik.

Manik- Hmm.

(She keeps his clothes away and hugs him tightly with a big smile. He, too, smiles at her and hugs her back tightly.)

Manik- Why this sudden hug, though?

Riya- Bas aise hi mann kiya.

[Riya- I just wanted to.]

(He smiles more at her answer and kisses her head while she keeps her hand on his heart and kisses his shirt's fabric over his heart. He lets out a deep sigh and feels a pool of emotions inside his heart because of her kiss. She smiles and looks up at him, still hugging him, and he kisses her forehead.)

Riya- You like it when I kiss you there, hmm?

Manik (smiling)- I love it.

Riya- I love it when you kiss my head or hug me randomly.

Manik- Just like you did moments ago?

Riya (laughing)- Hmm.

(She again kisses him on his heart and kisses her head again. He caresses her hair gently, and she rubs her hand over his heart softly. They both then break the hug and smile, looking at each other.)

Manik- Ab karlu main change?

[Manik- Can I change now?]

Riya- Bilkul. Maine kab roka hai?

[Riya- Of course. When have I stopped you?]

Manik- Acha?

[Manik- Really?]

(He moves forward towards her, and she gets back with a blush on her face, and he smiles, looking at her.)

Manik- Someone is blushing, I see.

Riya- No one is blushing, Manik. Tum bas ready ho jao ab. Go.

[Riya- No one is blushing, Manik. You just get ready now. Go.]

Manik- Oh no. Someone is blushing more.

Riya- Manik! Go.

(She goes from there, and he laughs at her reaction. He then gets ready after some time, and they both leave for shopping after eating.)

(Manik and Riya enter inside, and everyone looks at them as if it is not every day that Manik Malhotra and Riya Malhotra come out like this.)

Manik (sighing)- Inka kuch nahi ho sakta.

[Manik (sighing)- Nothing can be done about them.]

Riya- Tum unko ignore karo naa. Aur jisko jo karna hai karne do. Hum apna kaam karte hain.

[Riya- You just ignore them. And let everyone do what they want to do. We will do our work.]

Manik- So sab se pehle kahan jaana hai hume?

[Manik- So where do we have to go first?]

Riya- Pehle tum ye batao ki tumhe hall mein vo sofa kaisa lagta hai?

[Riya- First, tell me that you like that sofa in the hall?]

Manik- It looks okay. Pehle se hi hai vo vahan. Architect ne hi choose kiya tha vo.

[Manik- It looks okay. It has been there from the start. It was the architect who chose it]

Riya- So tumhe koyi problem to nahi hogi naa if we replace it?

[Riya- So you won't have any problem if we replace it?]

Manik- Not at all. You can do anything you want. Remember, it's our house.

Riya- Okay. So let's get that sofa set changed? What say?

Manik- Sure. As you wish. Let's go.

(They then select a sofa set for the hall and start shopping for clothes for her. She tries a dress and shows it to him after coming out of the trial room.)

Riya- Ye kaisi lag rahi hai, Manik?

[Riya- How does it look, Manik?]

Manik- Tum dikha rahi ho mujhe dresses Riya? Iss baar ghar jaa kar surprise nahi karna?

[Manik- You are showing me your dresses, Riya? You don't have to surprise me at home this time?]

Riya- Manik vo special dress thi function ke liye. Ye to regular wear hi hai. To batao naa ab.

[Riya- Manik, that was a special dress for the function. But this is just regular wear. Now tell me.]

Manik- It's good, and you look pretty in it. Le lo agar tumhe pasand hai to.

[Manik- It's good, and you look pretty in it. Take it if you like it.]

Riya (excited like a kid)- Okay.

(She goes inside, tries the second dress, and comes out again.)

Riya- Ye thodi badi lag rahi hai.

[Riya- It looks a little big.]

Manik- To isme chota size le lenge naa.

[Manik- So we can take a size smaller in this.]

Riya- But yahi sab se chota size tha vahan Manik.

[Riya- But this was the smallest size there, Manik.]

Manik- To koyi baat nahi. Main tumhe mota kar dunga khaana khila khila kar. How does that sound?

[Manik- No problem. I will make you fat by feeding you more food. How does that sound?]

Riya- Not at all funny. Aur main dusri dress try kar ke aati hoon.

[Riya- Not at all funny. And I will go and try another dress.]

(He laughs at her antics, and she goes inside to try another dress.)

Riya- Ye achi hai naa Manik? Ye le lete hain.

[Riya- This is good, right Manik? Let's buy it.]

Manik- Achi to saari lag rahi hain. Bas tumhe pasand aani chahiye. Jo achi lage le lo.

[Manik- Well, all are looking good. You just have to like it. Take whatever you like.]

Riya (smiling)- Okay. Main change kar ke aati hoon.

[Riya (smiling)- Okay. I will get changed.]

(She goes inside to wear her clothes, and Manik goes around the store, looking for new dresses. He picks out more dresses of her size and keeps them aside. She comes out and gets confused after seeing so many dresses.)

Riya- Ye sab kyu nikali hai Manik? Vo wali 2 le to li naa.

[Riya- Why have you taken out all of them, Manik? Let's just buy those 02 only.]

Manik- 02 hi kyu. Aur bhi check out kar lo naa. Aur hum kitni baar hi aate hai aise shopping karne saath mein. To baad mein pata nahi kab aana ho. Isiliye abhi hi le lo ye bhi.

[Manik- Why only those 02? Check out more dresses. And how many times do we go shopping together? When will we come later? That's why buy these too now.]

Riya- But Manik itni saari... maine 02 select ki thi aur tumne total 20 nikal di. Aur agar fit nahi aayi to paise waste ho jayenge.

[Riya- But Manik so many... I selected 02, and you have taken out a total of 20. And if they don't fit, the money will be wasted.]

Manik- Okay, listen. Inn sab ko ghar le jaate hain and then you can try them. Jo sahi nahi lagi usko exchange karva lena. Hmm?

[Manik- Okay, listen. Let's take them all home, and then you can try them. You can get the ones exchanged which don't look good. Hmm?]

Riya- Okay. Now let's shop for you after this.

Manik- For me?

Riya- Of course. Ab tumhe aise thodi naa jaane dungi main.

[Riya- Of course. I won't let you go like this.]

Manik- Haan baba chalo.

[Manik- Okay okay let's go.]

(They then make the payments and go shopping for Manik.)

Riya- Manik, tumhe naa kuch different try karna chahiye. Jaise umm... Yes! This denim jacket.

[Riya- Manik, you should try something different. Like umm... Yes! This denim jacket.]

(She picks out a denim jacket for him and comes to him.)

Manik- What? No! I am okay with my style. Aur main nahi pehenta hoon ye sab.

[Manik- What? No! I am okay with my style. And I don't wear such clothes.]

Riya- Manik tum har roz formal wear pehente ho. Ek baar try to karo. Acha lagega tum pe.

[Riya- Manik, you wear formal wear every day. At least try it once. It will look good on you.]

Manik- Just try.

Riya- Yes, just try it once.

(He goes to the changing room and comes out after a few moments wearing the denim jacket.)

Riya (shocked)- Wow, Manik! Kitni achi lag rahi hai ye tum pe.

[Riya (shocked)- Wow, Manik! It looks so good on you.]

Manik- Achi to lag rahi hai par main kahan pehnuga ye?

[Manik- It is looking good but where will I wear it?]

Riya- Office. Aur kahan?

[Riya- Office. Where else?]

Manik (shocked)- Office?

Riya- Haan. Itni achi to hai ye.

[Riya- Yes. It is so good.]

(He stands in front of the mirror and looks at himself, and she comes and stands next to him.)

Manik- The Manik Malhotra will wear such causal clothes to the office. Impossible.

Riya- Kyu impossible? Itne to ache lag rahe ho? Aur sab ko yahi lagega naa ki Manik sir ne apna wardrobe change kiya hai. Isme bura kya hai?

[Riya- Why impossible? You are looking so good? And everyone will just think that Manik sir has changed his wardrobe. What is wrong with that?]

Riya- Le lo naa Manik. Please. Itne ache lag rahe ho isme.

[Riya- Buy it, Manik. Please. You are looking so good in it.]

Manik- Hmm? Acha lag raha hoon?

[Manik- Hmm? I look good in it?]
