-Actually, they made a MOUNTAIN OUT OF A MOLEHILL and returned to their respective homes. Even though Rohan tried to RESOLVE their issue, it was like his words were FALLING ON DEAF EARS.

-The situation was OUT OF CONTROL. Instead of reducing the burden, those cousins left Rohan alone when he really needed them.

-As I could not see my friend all alone, I offered to volunteer at the wedding. I took the duty of welcoming all the guests.
