@ Ritu -- yeah he was rude .. coz he knew that Piya is 'hath dokhe pichhe padi hai' after that book.. u know he even stopped that translator to help Piya.. so he knows Piya's intentions very well..
But i dont really blame him for forgeting Piya today.. i mean he was soooo involved wid maithili's thoughts n all.. it would have looked a bit out of focus if he had paid any attention to her.. 😆
