MEGHA (dryly)
Agar yeh family meeting hai na, toh main pehle hi bol deti hoon—mujhe overtime nahi mila.
POOJA
Aur mujhe class presentation. So please, drama ka timer short rakhna.
AARTI
Drama nahi hai. Decision hai.
POOJA
Papa ke baare mein?
MEGHA (controlled)
Pooja, us aadmi ka naam leke kya hoga?
POOJA
Truth mil jaayega. Bas itna.
AARTI
Is ghar mein ab pretend karna band.
AARTI
Tum dono ko yahan isliye bulaya kyunki ab main aur nahi chup sakti.
AARTI
Tumhare papa ke letters.
MEGHA (shocked, angry)
The? Matlab... the?
AARTI
Kyuki us waqt mujhe laga main tum dono ko bachaa rahi thi.
POOJA
Main truth maang rahi thi. Par truth milna aur truth ko jhelna same nahi hota.
AARTI
Toh ab decide tum karo. Forgiveness earned hoti hai... ya inherited?
MEGHA
Kal college ke baad... saath padhte hain.
POOJA
Theek hai.
