Soham was excited because his sister Sania was coming back to Mumbai after visiting their grandmother for two months. Sania had gone to her village with her friends to spend the summer vacation with Dadi. Soham was sitting in the window waiting for her to arrive. Suddenly, he saw Sania and jumped to open the door.
