The day after Khushi’s funeral, the house was still wrapped in silence. Grief lingered in every corner. Aanya quietly stepped into Khushi’s room, with the heavy. She began tidying up, carefully placing things back where they belonged, preserving the space just as Khushi had left it.
Arjun noticed the light in his mother's room and walked in. His voice, sharp with emotion, broke the silence.
Arjun
What are you doing in my mother’s room?
Aanya
I was just trying to set things in order(Startled and looked up)
Arjun
Don’t change anything here. (He snapped, the pain behind his words obvious)
Aanya
I won’t. (She replied gently)
Arjun
When are you going to your college?
Aanya
I’ll be going from Monday.
Arjun
You start going tomorrow, as I heard your exams are from next week.
Aanya
Who told you about that?
Arjun
Vedang told me.
Aanya
Oh.
Arjun
Go to your room and sleep.
Aanya
Okay.(She nodded, turning to leave)
Arjun
And if you need anything, let me know. I’ll get it for you. (Spoke gently)
