"Tell me about it. Who gave only four days leave for a biostatistics paper? Our idiot college..that who."
The garage was small with only two workers working on the separate cars. "bhaiya..my scooty is puncture.." the man neared to them gave them a glance, his eyes widening for a second and returned back to his work.
"Go..take a look of the madam's scooty." The other man ordered the first one as he with some reluctance to came forward.

So these two are Asha's friends. Or were.
Considering how she refuses to talk to any of them after that incident. There was a hushed conversation going on between the two girls standing some distance away. Mukesh only manages to catch something about a man named Mayank and then the topic about the Durga Devi came, - so Niyati went to the hospital - Mukesh made it from their talk. 
It was not that surprising since half of the Begusarai could be seen outside of the hospital but what was shocking that with the details Niyati was telling the badi Thakurain's condition, as if she saw her herself when people were not even allowed to visit the ICU corridor and many returning back from the VIP ward.
He know all this because few women from his locality went there too and Achintya Chaudhary only allowing them to the luxurious VIP ward that was then discussed more profusely.
So how does Niyati, a commoner like every other one of them is able to tell all that with this much details?
"- and Mayank told me that Achintya Babu is busy finding that man who saw you at the Ghat-" 
Achintya Chaudhary? Mukesh heard his name when those two girls come nearer when Sahil called them to pay. Not able to heard further increases his frustration because he wanted to know how come Reecha and Niyati knows the man? Their tone suggests the familiarity like Reecha knows him personally.
But she couldn't. Reecha might come from a well put family but they were not anywhere in the league of the Chaudharys. 
As the scooty become tiny and went out of the sight Mukesh heard Sahil gushing about the Niyati. "Give me some pointers Mukesh so I can make her mine. You manages to catch such a beauty yourself, help me too dude."
With a spat on the road, he came inside washing his hand he looked in the small mirror hung there- Asha was an easy prey. Mukesh didn't have to do much before the girl folded like the leaf making it easier for him to have his ways. But from what he has gathered about the Niyati from all the talking and later bitching Asha did of the girl.. Niyati seems tough.
Someone who has the high standard, who wouldn't just get involved with anyone for bit of the fun. Neither she seems easy nor someone who could be manipulated and then she was forbidden too because of the social status of her clan. 
Touching a Brahmin girl will be equivalent to dirtying the lord's feet. 
But he couldn't help himself but to agree with the Sahil's view. The girl looked extremely radiant despite the gloomy look of her face, and the simple pink green suit and the heidous loose fitted sweater obscuring her voluptuous figure.
If only he met her before...he sighed heavily.

Phoolan Chaudhary entered the ward at last. After every member of his family left the ward meeting his mother. Lokesh went to home taking Meena and Vijay along . Achintya and Mithilesh too went home after spending the last three days here after Phoolan commanded then.
And now..it was just him and few guards in the hospital with Durga Devi.
"You frightened me Amma. Did you not thought about me and my children. Got tired of us so soon and planning to left us behind?"
