"Who were you talking to?" Nora asked as soon as Krish entered the cab.
Earlier when she reached in front of his school she saw Krish talking to someone before passing his headphones to that man's hand.
From her side she was only able to see his back and also only for a few seconds before he left Krish side too.
Knowing how nowadays people bully kids and snatch money from them, she got worried for Krish. Because it makes no sense to her that Krish would give away his brand new headphones to some stranger.
"Amm no one sister."
"Krish?"
"Seriously no one important."
"Don't think you would get away from it... If you don't tell me I'll check the CCTV footage anyway."
"No!" Krish exclaimed loudly. His shout scared the taxi driver.
"Krish!" Nora called him sternly. The manner in which his brother was behaving clearly shows that something is wrong.
"Sister, you are overreacting. It's just that I was listening to music while coming out of the school and accidentally bumped into him. In the end, because of me, his phone broke. It was an expensive one, so to compensate, I gave him my headphones. Although I doubt if that was enough but i didn't have any cash in my hand."
Nora's eyes squinted with doubt. "Really?"
"Yes sister. I was scared that you would scold me, that's why I hesitated."
His sister was not so quick to believe his words, but his words does seemed possible too. Sighing deeply she nodded understandably. "If something like this happens again, use your card."
"Hmm." Krish meekly replied.
He breathes a sigh of relief inside. Little did he know that his sister would see him with Parth. Earlier when Parth heard his story he was still reluctant to believe him.
But when Krish gave him his I'D card and his phone number he decided to believe. However, before letting him go, Parth took his headphones from him too.
Krish felt sad about it but he deserved this much punishment too. He didn't care if Parth would sell that expensive headphone later on because somehow Krish wanted to say thank you to him properly with compensation. Just like how a parent usually does for their children's rescuers.
On the other hand Parth didn't take those headphones as a compensation or to punish him, but simply because he wanted Krish to remember his loss and will be careful in future.
He didn't worry about the fact that he is taking such an expensive thing from a kid because on one look Parth could tell that Krish belongs to some rich family. And even if the headphones were too expensive it wouldn't mind Krish pocket anyway.
Parth's reluctance to believe in Krish's words also exists because he couldn't understand the connection between him belonging to a well off family and also being a complete parentless. It's mostly a rare case.
His doubt got only bigger when he saw Krish's sister coming on cab to pick him up. However he got other ways to know the truth too. So he didn't bother himself more with Krish before leaving the arena.
Nora noticed Krish's behaviour change. She thought maybe he was feeling bad after losing his headphones she didn't probe him more about his loss.
Giving a second thought she spoke. "I'll buy you the new headphones."
"Really?" Krish exclaimed.
"Yeah but you won't take your headphones outside the house. And won't use it with high volume either. Get that?"
"Promise." He hurriedly agreed to all terms. Moreover he himself promised Parth that he won't use headphones and mobile phones on roads ever again.
"Okay now let me drop you at home. I need to go back to the office." She informed.
"Office?"
"Hmm. Mr. Gill called me for some work."
As she had said earlier, she will never take her brother to the office unless it is necessary. So after dropping him off safely at home she has to go back again.
"Work?"
"Hmm. Need to go to the suburbs to meet some people."
When Nora was on her way to pick Krish she got a call from Karan to meet him in the office. Time to time Karan does call Nora in the office for her to get familiar with the way of working in her office.
"For a whole day?" Krish tilted his head with a questionable look.
"No. By evening I'll be back." She instantly denied.
Krish nodded. "Oh okay. Take care."
"I am not leaving now or tomorrow. We still need to decide the date. Today i am just going to discuss things."
