----Aadha raat ta tyastai ustai ho--the evening was gradually making room for descending night to settle in. kramasa: --- *Aba hya bholi chya khana lai chini chhaina talai ahile leather ko jacket chahiyo?* She asked with a bit irritation. *Ahile nai kindinu ta kasle bhanya chha ra? Por ko dashain lai dekhi bhaneko---sabai saathi harule laayera hidchhan afu chai jharpat jyaket layera hinnu parchha---borai hunchha---* Naresh expressed his frustration being as emotional as the current situation permitted. His mom did not say anything. Encouraged, Naresh pressed on his issue *yaspali kindinuna hai maamu---?* after a brief pause, he also added, ýkati lyaune rey chini?ý Naresh saw his momýs loving eyes gazing at him. She said, *malai bhanera keýterai buwa lai bhan.na---kindine buwale ho kyareý.

Filter nera pugnai lageko yak churos Anil ko hath bata liyera Nareshle dhit marne gari tanyo. Pich.cha thukera Anil le bhanyo "fyalde yai kholama---lyachhas haina bokera?" Neelo rangko shirt debre hath le bahira batai chhamdai Nareshle arko ek sarko churos tanera *chha * ma tauko hallayo. "Fyal de yahi and forget about it" Anil suggested. Few minutes later carefully scanning the surrounding, Naresh threw it on the water and saw it flowing southbound toward kaalo pool --paani ma chhachalkidai. Even then it looked really scary.
