There was a long queue ahead of Yajna. While waiting in the queue, she saw Nikhil at the queue in the front but didn't see him clearly. The girl from behind her asked "Excuse me, The line has moved front."
Yajna turned around and replied "I am sorry" dragged her trolley along with her little forward. She searched for Nikhil but couldn't find him. Her mind voice ~Maybe I started daydreaming about him. Why am I daydreaming about him?~

Atshara said "Actually my parents are waiting in FC 1. I am going to send them off"
"Wait for me, let's go together. I will send my greetings to your parents"
Atshara and Yajna went to FC1 and had lunch with Atshara's parents. Atshara's said to Yajna "Take care of each other"
