Varun thought, “I can manage without eating but how will Maya manage it? She is fond of foods and I have never heard her mentioning fasting all these days. Can I go and see her to try if I can help her out?”

Why should we starve for starting a new life? Shouldn’t we celebrate it by eating sweets and such? Also isn’t it better for all my relatives to pray for me rather than praying myself. Isn’t a lot better than one?” Maya heard her stomach growling which made her to think,” Am I going insane just because I didn’t have any sustenance?”

She heard her mobile ringing so she went and saw that it was Varun. Just seeing the name her mood lifted up so she attended it,” Hey Varun.”
