He says when Imlie can come 2nd studying in a village school, college doesn’t matter to her and he is sure she will study well. Malini requests him to take her out in the evening. He says he is busy with work. She says they were spending more time together before marriage. He reminisces Imlie’s words to behave well with Malini and agrees.
