Riya: Good morning baby, What are you doing?
Karma: Nothing much just Passing time.
Riya: So, You forget again.

Karma: Yes, of cause, How can I miss this chance.
Riya: hello Mister Exam is not over yet, Don't you think any stupid things ok.
Karma: yes but it will be hard to study with you?

Mother: You know that boy in our neighborhood Raju.
Karma: yes, but why? is he doing something wrong.
Mother: He had an accident today. And his condition is very serious.
Karma: How did this happen?
Mother: He was on his bike when the other biker hit him. That biker died the same way. & Raju is serious.
Karma: Who was that?
Mother: I don't know, but I am going to the hospital...
Karma: ok I will drop you
Mother: No you study, I will go.
Karma: Raju is my childhood friend, I also want to check him.
Mother: ok, let's go
Karma: Okay, I will come downstairs in 10 minutes.
(mother leaves)
Karma (in my mind): Is there any connection with all this... No, the name Ahir was written in it. Still, it will be worth checking it once.
(Karma goes to the hospital with his mother)

in the hospital
(Raju was in ICU, his relatives were crying standing outside, Raju's mother was crying a lot, and everyone is trying to do something about his mom. Karma's mother also hugged her)
Mother: Don't worry, sister Nothing will happen to Raju, please be calm down. He will be fine, have faith in God.
Raju's mother: (Crying) Why is God punishing us? My Raju never harassed anyone. today when he was leaving he said to me," Mom, I will bring new slippers for you, these old ones are broken now..."
(And she starts crying very loudly. The new slipper is there.)
Raju's mother: He was coming back with this slipper and then...
(She starts crying.)
(On the other hand Karma talks to another relative)
Karma: How did it happen? What did the doctor say?
Uncle: That drunken fellow hit our Raju and Raju's head was hit by the nearby divider, He was out of the blood at that time.
Karma: What did the doc say?
Uncle: The doctor didn't say anything specific, but seeing the atmosphere, it seemed that the matter was serious.
Karma: And what happened to that bastard? Complained to the police?
Uncle: complaint. Why? He died there. He was driving at such a speed that he fly 6 feet away, and his game finished.
Karma: Who was that, do you know?
Uncle: Don't know much, but he was Ahir.
(Karma is confused.)
Karma: What?
Uncle: You know him?
(Then the doctor comes out of the ICU, seeing him, it seemed that there was some bad news.)
Doctor: Sorry we could not save Raju.
There is silence in the whole hospital, and Karma gets drowned in deep thought...
