JINDAL BHAVAN,

Revati: Thank you Karan!

She thanks him after he adjusts Ahaan on the bed comfortably. Both the children were at home as they were discharged by evening. They weren't unconscious but sleeping due to the effect of medicines. They left the room not to disturb their sleep.

Karan: No need to thank me. I'm just fulfilling my promise unlike that stupid girl who has gone to God knows where!!!

Revati (angry): Karan! Mind your language.

Karan: Tumhare chup karane se kuchh nahi hoga. Kahaan hai wo, pata hai tumhe? Nahi. Kisiko bataya usne?? Nahi. Bas apni marzi chalani hoti hai use.

Revati: She has her own reasons to do anything.

Karan: Does her reasons matters her more than Ahaan? (He pauses for a while and then continues)
Maine aaj tak uski har baat ko samjha hai aur mai uske har reaction se satisfy bhi hua hun just because I knew chahe jo ho jaye us ke liye Ahaan se badh kar kuchh nahi hai. But not this time. Usne mujhe wrong prove kar diya hai.

Revati: Lekin Karan....

Karan: No Revati. Don't justify her this time. 5 saal ka bachha hai wo. Does she even understand uska accident hua hai, aur wo use wahaan akele chhod ke chali gayi. Kahaan? Kisiko nahi pata. Kyun? Kisiko nahi pata. Hosh aate hi wo apni Mumma ko dhoond raha tha, lekin wo to pata nahi kahaan hai. Abhi ke liye to so gaya hai wo jab phir uthega to jawaab ready rakhna. Mai ja raha hun. Agar kuchh bhi zarooraat pade to give me a call, I will be here.

He was leaving but turns and speaks.

Karan: The last thing I could expect from her that she shouldn't be drunk.

Revati (thinking): I hope the same.

He leaves.

A car is moving swiftly on the road but suddenly a large flash of light flashes in front of the car and a truck crashes into it and everything was blackened.

AK: Noooo!!!!!

She screams at the top of her voice and breaks the 5th empty bottle of alcohol which she just now completed drinking. The moment she walked out from the hospital, the same scene is being replayed infront of her eyes. The second most horrible incident of her life. Ofcourse, the first being her mother's death. She completed drinking 5 bottles but she still is as awake and fresh as someone after a cold water bath. She was sitting in an isolated place with no one around. She walked down the streets out of the hospital and reached the bar just few steps ahead from that place. She bought a stack of bottles and placed it with the help of a worker of the bar and started drinking one after the other bottle but of no use. The memories were still fresh to her. She was trying hard to clean all those horrible memories which were haunting her but all went in vain. She started drinking an other bottle expecting that it would help her to forget everything.

JINDAL BHAVAN,
LIVING ROOM,

Revati was sitting on the couch resting her head on her hands. AJ comes to her seeing her in this state.

AJ: Revati!!! Are you okay??

She looks up at him. Tears were wetting her cheeks.

AJ: Kya hua? Tum ro kyun rahi ho? Any problem?

Revati: Jiju, Di abhi tak nahi aayi hai. Bohot tension ho rahi hai mujhe.

The only thought made the way in his mind was about Guddan. Afterall, Di and Jiju in the same sentence made him think of her.

AJ: Pehle to tum rona band karo(he wipes her tears). Chhoti bachhi nahi hai wo, aa jayegi. Tumhe uske liye pareshan hone ki koi zaroorat nahi hai.

Revati: Nahi aa sakti wo yahaan. Unhe to shayad pata bhi nahi hoga ki ham sab yahaan hai. Abhi Rajiv aaya tha, Di ka shooting bag lekar, tab mujhe pata chala ki Di ke paas apna phone bhi nahi hai. Aap Ahaan ke paas rukenge, Mai Di ko ghar lekar aati hun.

AJ: You can't go out now. It's 11.45 now. Tum akele kahaan dhundogi use. Tumhe pata bhi hai kahaan hai wo?

She nods in no.

AJ: To kaise pata lagaogi ki kahaan hai wo?

Revati: Pata to lagana padega na. Wo bhi to raat bhar bahaar nahi reh sakti. Aap please unhe dhundiye.

AJ: Revati, Mai kaise....

Revati: Jiju please. Di ke liye nahi, mere aur Ahaan ke liye, please...

AJ: Achha thik hai. Tum ghar par hi rehna mai use lekar aaunga.

Revati: Promise??

AJ: Hmm..

He leaves to find her. It was like he was given a task to find a needle in a hay stack. How could he look for one girl in the whole city of Indore without any way to communicate. But he was all determined to do that coz after the first meeting this was the first time Revati addressed him as Jiju and asked him for help. He was only doing it for the sake of Ahaan. If not him he wouldn't pay a heed to Revati's words. He was about to get into his car when he gets a call. It was from the security guard of his restaurant.

AJ: Hello!

Guard: Hello Sir!

AJ: Ha bolo kya hua? Itni raat ko call kiya hai, sab thik to hai na?

Guard: Sab thik hai. Sir, wo restaurant ke paas ek khaali jagah hai na wahaan par maine unbe dekha.

AJ: Kise dekha??

Guard: Sir, wo heroine jo aap ke restaurant aayi thi na. Mujhe kuchh thik nahi lag raha hai.

He mentally thanked God for his help.

AJ: Kya thik nahi lag raha hai?

Guard: Itne andhere me kuchh thik se dikh nahi raha hai. Bas itna dikh raha hai ki wo sharaab pi rahi hai.

AJ: Are you sure ki wo sharaab hi hai??

Guard: Ha sir, wahaan par ek nahi bohot saari bottles hai.

AJ: Mai abhi aata hun and make sure ki koi uske paas nahi aaye.

Guard: Ok sir!

__________________________________

He reached the place and send the guard back to the restaurant. He goes near her. There was not much light but enough to see each other. He turns on the flashlight of his mobile phone to check on the surroundings. She immediately closes her eyes and covers with her hand.

AK: What the hell!!!

She was now completely out of her senses. He sees a box with few bottles and on the other side many shattered pieces of glass.

AJ: Tum yahaan baith kar sharaab pi rahi ho??

AK: Wrong!! Ham sharaab pi rahe "the". Abhi nahi pi rahe hai, ok?

He sensed with her words that she was not in her senses. So rather than arguing with her, he decided to take her to home.

AJ: Achha thik hai.

AK: Arey waahh!! Itni jaldi maan gaye. Hame to laga ki abhi jhagda karenge. Chalo achhi baat hai.

She stumbles and was about to fall on the glass pieces when he holds her. She stares deeply into his eyes. He tears his gaze away as it reminded him the way Guddan used to stare at him. He makes her stand away from the broken glass pieces.

AJ: Ghoorna band karo aur chalo. Hame ghar jana hai.

She starts laughing and sits on the ground clutching her stomach as if it's paining due to excessive laughing.

AJ: Has kyun rahi ho??

AK: Ghar??? Kiske ghar?? Ek baat bataye ham aapko? Aaiye idhar aakar baithiye.

She taps the place beside her and asks him to sit there. He goes and sits beside her.

AJ: Batao.

AK: Hamare naam par badi badi makaanein hai, badi badi imaratein (buildings) bhi hai lekin unme se hamara ghar koi bhi nahi hai. Ek bhi nahi. Wo bas aalishan char band deewarein hai. Unme hame kabhi ghar jaisa ehsaas hi nahi hota. Wo khushi, wo sukoon hi nahi milta jo sab ko apne ghar me milti hai.

AJ: Ham tumhare ghar nahi mere ghar ja rahe hai. Chalo.

He was about to leave when she holds his hand and asks him to sit again.

AK: Aap ko kyun lagta hai ki ham aapke saath aapke ghar jayenge?

AJ: Kyunki Ahaan wahaan hai. Us ke liye to tum chalogi na mere saath.

AK: Ahaan...(tears pooled up in her eyes) Kaisa hai wo? Bohot chot lagi thi na use. Aap mile the usse? Ab thik hai na wo? Use zyaada dard to nahi ho raha hai na?

AJ: Jab itni hi fikar karti ho tum uski to use wahaan chhod kar kyun aa gayi. Aur yahaan baith kar sharaab kyun pi rahi thi.

AK: Jaante hai galti ki hai hamne use akela wahaan chhod kar lekin usse milne ki himmat nahi bachi hai ham me. Aapko pata hai, hamne Ahaan ke liye sab kuchh kiya, sab kuchh matlab sab kuchh. Use aaj tak kisi bhi cheez ki kami mehsoos nahi hone di hamne. Uski har khwahish ko poori ki hamne. Uske liye world's best Mumma banne ki koshish ki hamne lekin aaj haar gaye ham. Haar gaye. Uski best Mumma nahi ban sake ham. Uske saath jo kuchh bhi aaj hua hai uske zimmedar ham hai. Hamare hi wajah se uski wo haalat hai. Sirf hamari wajah se. Aap hi bataiye, ham kya jawaab dete use jab wo hamse poochta ki, "Mumma, aapne hi mujhe supermom ki tarah bachaya na?" Jab ki ham to is duniya ke sab se worst mother hai jo apne bachhe ko khoon bhi nahi de sakte. Ham use nahi bacha paye.

She started crying vigorously. He was hurt by seeing her this way. It pained him as much as it pained seeing Guddan crying. He now realized that she wasn't wrong in her point of view and everyone else including him judged her without knowing the other side of the story. She was at fault but not completely. Even everyone were correct but not completely. She thought she lost as a mother bcoz she wasn't able to save her child's life and everyone else thought that she lost as a mother coz she wasn't there for her child when he needed her.

AJ: Tum please rona band karo.(he offers his handkerchief to her and indicates her to use it. She takes it and wipes her tears.) I know ki tum use blood nahi de payi but that doesn't mean ki tum uske liye best mother nahi ho. Aaj agar wo thik hua hai tab bhi to uska reason tum hi ho na.

AK: Ham?? Kaise??

AJ: Agar tumne kuchh dinon pehle us insaan ko nahi bachaya hota jisne aaj Ahaan ko blood donate kiya to kya hota tumne socha.

She nods in no.

AJ: Kya hota? Ahaan ke liye donor shayad nahi milta, ya phir use donor late se milta, jiski wajah se uski condition aur bhi critical ho sakti thi. Lekin aisa hua kya?(she nods in no). To phir, tumhari wajah se hi aaj wo thik hai eventhough it may be indirectly.

AK: Phir bhi wo hamse naraaz hoga aur ham par gussa karega aur phir hame Mumma bhi nahi kahega.

She started crying again. He sighed exhaustedly as he failed to console her.

AJ: Achha tum ek baat batao mujhe...(he tried with full efforts to gain her attention)

AK: Kya?

AJ: Jab kabhi Ahaan ne galti ki to kya tumse usse naraaz hoti ho? Kya tum us par gussa karti ho? Kya tum ye bhool jati ho ki wo tumhara beta hai?

AK: Nahi.

AJ: Kyun?

AK: Kyunki ham usse bohot pyaar karte hai aur wo sirf hamara beta hai.

AJ: Exactly!!! To wo tumse naraaz kyun hoga. Tum par gussa kyun karega. Wo bhi tumse utna hi pyaar karta hai. Tum uski Maa ho aur wo tumhara beta. This fact won't change.

He sees her sitting still devoid of any expression on her face.

AJ: Tumne suna bhi maine kya kaha??

AK: Ham samajh gaye.

AJ: Kya samjhi?

AK: Wahi jo aapne samjhaya.

AJ: To ab ghar chalogi na.

AK: Ha. Lekin hamari ek shart hai.

AJ: Kaisi shart?

AK: Aap hame Ahaan se milayenge na?

AJ: Ofcourse, isiliye to mai tumhe le ja raha hun na.

AK: Ha na, wahi to. Ham bhi kaisi baatein kar rahe hai. Chaliye.

AJ: Chalo, utho.

He gives his hand as a support to get her up. She gets up and wipes her tears but suddenly she gets hiccups.

AJ: Ek minute, tum yahin rukna mai tumhare liye pani lekar aata hun. Kahin mat jana, Ok?

AK: Haa.

He goes to the nearby store to purchase a water bottle but when he returns the scene shocked him. He was shocked to see a group of drunk men surrounding her.

AJ: Chalo yahaan se.

He tried to hold her hand but a man holds it.

Man1: Aaj ke liye ye hamari item hai, to tum ise bhool jao.

Before AJ can punch him to his death, the man received a hard slap that he directly fell on the ground. It was from AK. The slap wasn't that hard to make a man fall but as he was drunk and stumbling it made her easy to do that.

AK: (angry) Himmat Kaise huyi tumhe hame chune ki?? Koi item nahi hai ham kisiki. Samjhe tum??? Next time, don't touch me!!!

AJ was shocked to see her this way.

Man2: Tumhari himmat kaise huyi hamare bhai ko thappad marne ki. Abhi batate hai.

He was about to hold her when she blows a punch right under his jaw which dislocated it and eventually he fell on the ground.

AK: Thappad ki himmat dekhi thi tumne, abhi punch ka dikha diya humne.

The other man was about to hit her when she punches him on his ribs and he fell due to excessive pain. The other people got scared and ran for their dear life. While AJ was standing amused by her actions. She was facing her back towards him. He holds her hand indicating her to move from here but coz of a sudden touch she jerked his hand away.

AK: Don't touch me!!!

AJ: Chilla kyun rahi ho? Mai hun.

AK: Aap hai to kya?? Aap hame chu sakte hai. Koi hame touch nahi karega.

AJ: Achha thik hai. Ab chalo ghar nahi jaana hai.

AK: Chal to rahe hai na. Chaliye.

AJ: Ha. Waise kaise seekha tumne ye self defence and all?

AK: Kaise seekha nahi, kisne sikhaya poochiye.

AJ: Kisne sikhaya?

AK: Zindagi ne.

AJ: Huh?

AK: Haa. Aapko nahi pata zindagi hame sab kuchh deti hai jo ham kabhi seekh nahi pate. Jab ham akele the na, jab koi hamare saath nahi tha, na hi achhe samay me aur na hi bure samay me tab zindagi ne hi hame khud ke liye ladna sikha diya. Chahe wo aise gundon se ho ya phir kisi aur tarah.

AJ felt bad for her that she has to face many difficulties in her life.

AK: Pani.

AJ: Ek minute mai abhi lekar aaya.

He brings water for her. She drinks it and holds her stomach.

AJ: Ab kya hua?

AK: Bohot bhook lag rahi hai.

AJ: Isiliye time par khana khana chahiye.

AK: Ha to nahi khaye to kya kare. Abhi to bhook lag rahi hai na.

He nods his head in disbelief.

AJ: Chalo mera restaurant yehi par hai. Tum kuchh kha lena.

AK: Ewww... Aap hame bacha hua khana khilayenge.

AJ(thinking): Hosh me nahi hai, phir bhi nautanki poori shiddat se kar rahi hai.
(To Guddan): Maine kaha kya ki mai bacha hua khana khilaunga tumhe. And FYKI mere restaurant me mai bacha hua khana nahi rakhta, samjhi tum.

AK: Achha thik hai. Chaliye, hame bohot bhook lag rahi hai.

They both go to the restaurant by walk as it was just few steps ahead. She was stumbling all the way even for walking a few steps. He has to hold her everytime but she again starts her "Don't touch me" chant which makes him way more irritated. After a two minutes walk which felt like hours to AJ, they reach the restaurant. He made her sit comfortably on one of the chairs and he sits on the other.

AJ: Batao kya khana hai tumhe?

AK: Samose!!!

AJ: Raat ke 1 baje samose kaun khata hai??

AK: Ham khate hai. Kyun, any problem??

AJ(thinking): Jab tum saamne ho to aur koi problem nazar bhi nahi aayegi. Kyunki saari problems to tum khud lekar chalti ho.

AK: Kya hua? Ja kar banaiye na.

AJ: Dekho tumhe to bohot bhook lagi hai na, khana bhi jaldi chahiye tumhe. Samose banane ke liye bohot time lag jayega. Pehle aalu boil karo, phir dough tayar karo, phir stuffing ready karo, phir use fry karo. 1 ghanta tum wait nahi kar sakti na. Isiliye kuchh aur bolo.

AK: Baat to sahi hai aapki lekin jhoot to mat boliye. 1 ghanta to nahi lagega banne ke liye. Phir bhi aap ke liye ham ye order cancel kar dete hai. Aap aalu ke parathe bana dijiye.

AJ: Oh God!!!

AK: Ab kya hua?

AJ: Aalu ke parathe ke liye bhi to same kaam karne padenge na. Bas samose ko fry karna hai aur ise parathe banana hai. Time to utna hi lagega na.

AK: Ha na. Hamne to ye baat sochi hi nahi. To aur kya bana sakte hai aap?

AJ: Ek kaam karo, tum yehi baitho mai andar ja kar dekh kar aata hun ki mai tumhare liye kya bana sakta hun. Ok?

AK: Ha. Ok, done!

AJ: Bas baithi rehna.

AK: Ha, ha jaiye.

He leaves from there and goes into the kitchen. As Guddan can't sit still for more than few seconds she gets up and takes a plate and spoon from the counter situated at the corner of the room for serving. She clicks them along in a ringing manner.

AK: Jaldi jaldi khana lao. Bhook lagi hai khana do. Jaldi jaldi khana lao. Bhook lagi hai khana do.

AJ comes out from the kitchen. All the chaos by Guddan was fueling his anger. He goes and scolds her.

AJ: Problem kya hai tumhari?? Chup chap se baithne ke liye kaha tha na, Wo kaam bhi nahi hota kya tumse. Kya hangama kar rahi ho yahaan par?

She starts crying as she is afraid of him.

AK: Mummy!!! Ye bhoot uncle hame daant rahe hai. Bachao, Mummy!!! Hame bohot dar laga raha hai. Inhone haath me chaku bhi pakda hua hai.

AJ: What???(just then he realizes that he was really holding a knife and she was afraid coz of that.)

He keeps the knife aside and makes her sit and sit in front of her on his knees.

AJ: Dekho, please mat ro.(she wipes her tears). Mai tumhe dara nahi raha tha. Ok! Tumhe khana khana hai na, mai wahi dekhne gaya tha. Roz restaurant me subah fresh fruits aur vegetables aate hai. Isiliye abhi kuchh bhi nahi hai. Batao kya khana hai.

AK: Batane ko to ham kuchh bhi bata denge, ye bataiye ki aap kya bana sakte hai.

AJ: Banane ko to mai bhi kuchh bhi bana sakta hun lekin abhi yahaan kuchh available nahi hai. Tum kaho to mai daliya ki khichdi bana dun.

AK: No!!! Ham beemar nahi hai. Hame khichdi nahi khani, daliya ki to bilkul bhi nahi.

AJ: Sirf beemar log khichdi nahi khate.

AK: Jo bhi ho lekin hame nahi khana. Hame khana chahiye matlab chahiye. Bhook lagi hai khana do. Jaldi jaldi khana lao. Bhook lagi hai khana do.(she started her rants again ringing with the plate and spoon)

AJ: Band karo ye.(she didn't listen to him and continued). I said stop it!!!(he said a little bit louder and she stops it. She looks at him as if she will cry again). Arey mai to bas tumse kuchh poochna chahta tha isiliye tumhe chup rahne ko kaha.

AK: Kya poochna tha?

AJ: Jab tum ghar par akele rehti ho aur tumhe bhook lagti hai aur agar kuchh saamaan bhi na ho to phir tum kya khati ho.

AK: Fruits aur dry fruits khati hun.

AJ: Agar wo bhi na ho to.

AK: Wo to hamesha rehte hai na.

AJ: Incase agar nahi ho to.

AK: Lekin rehte to hai na.

AJ: Achha thik hai rehte hai. Agar tumhe wo sab khane ka man nahi to kya khati ho.

AK: Ummm(she was thinking placing her index finger on her chin and AJ was looking at her keenly for her answer) Noodles!!!

AJ: Kya??

AK: Ha. 2 minute noodles. Bohot tasty hote hai aur use banana bhi kitna easy hota hai. Bas pani me dalo, masala dalo, 2 minutes ke liye pakao aur ho gaya ready.

AJ: Ok. Tum yehi rukna mai bahar ja kar abhi lekar aata hun.

He was about to leave when she holds his hand.

AK: Aap hame chhod kar ja rahe hai??

She looks at him with the cutest expression on her face. He was adoring her and was lost in her eyes.

AK: Boliye na...

He comes out of his trance.

AJ: Mai bas 2 minutes me aa raha hun. Tum yahi ruko.

AK: Ok! Jaiye.

She leaves his hand. He rushes to the nearby store and returns as fast as possible. He enters the restaurant to find the utmost silence. He finds her sleeping peacefully resting her head on the table. He enters the kitchen and prepares it quickly and returns with the bowl of noodles to the table. He sits on the chair and was looking at her. He was keenly observing her. Her eyes, her nose, her lips, her cheeks, the way she breathes, the way her hair moves to the breeze, the way her hair covers a part of her face while sleeping, every bit resembles to Guddan but she is not her. The way his heart responds to her presence confirms that she is Guddan but his mind doesn't accepts it. Years ago, he made a mistake by believing what his heart said and not even thinking practically with his mind and he is suffering till today. He is not gonna repeat that mistake again in his life. He removes a strand of her hair which was covering her face, gently. He then remembers the reason for them being here. He wakes her up but she just stirs and doesn't wake up. He again tries to wake her up but he failed.

AJ: Utho, ab uth bhi jao. Bhook lagi thi na tumhe, khana nahi khana kya? Utho.

She wakes up listening his voice.

AJ(murmuring): Khane ka naam sunte hi uth gayi.

AK: Kuchh kaha aapne?

AJ: Nahi to.

AK: Itne zor se chilla kyun rahe the. Uth hi rahe the na.

AJ: Khalo warna ye bhi nahi milega.

She holds the fork and was about to eat but the fork slips from her hand.

AK: Oops!!

He gives an other fork to her. She brings it near her mouth but ends up poking it to her lips. Nodding his head in disbelief, he takes the fork and bowl from her, adjusts the chair infront of her and makes her eat. She looks at him with a questioning face.

AJ: Poori raat nahi hai hamare paas yahaan rukne ke liye, jaldi khao. Ghar bhi jana hai.

There was complete silence in the air. And for the first time he spoke first.

AJ: Kisse pyaar karti ho tum?

The question came from nowhere. The only reason for asking this question was to know about Ahaan's father. He thought that at least her sub-consciousness will spill the truth.

AK: Khane se!!!

He was left baffled by her answer. Who would answer "food" for such a question. But she is the unique person in this world who could do so.

AJ: As a person kisse?

AK: Ahaan se. He is the love of my life.

AJ(thinking): Ab isse direct pooch lun kya?
(To Guddan): Aur Karan se??

AK(laughing): Karan? Usse???

AJ: Ha wahi. Has kyun rahi ho?

AK: Nahi matlab aise hi. Aap ko ek baat bataye, Karan na is world ka sab se best person hai. Sab se achha hai wo. Itna achhhaaaaaa (she said extending her arms widely). Lekin ham usse pyaar nahi karte.

AJ: Kyun?

AK: Kyunki ham kisi aur se pyaar karte hai.

AJ: Kisse?

AK: Sorry, sorry. Kisi aur se pyaar karte the, hai nahi. Aur wo koun hai wo ham aap ko nahi batayenge.

AJ: Kyun nahi bataogi?

AK: Kyunki wo ek secret hai. Bohot badi wali secret, jo ham kisi ko bhi nahi bata sakte. Aur ek baat bataiye aap, jab hamara dil kisi aur ke naam par pehle hi register ho chuka hai to phir ham use kisi aur ko kaise de sakte hai. Bataiye. Isiliye ham Karan se pyaar nahi kar sakte. Lekin ye baat bhi sach hai ki agar hame pehle pyaar nahi hua hota na to zaroor Karan se hi pyaar ho jata. Wo kitna achha hai, meri aur meri family ki kitni care bhi karta hai.

AJ: Lekin pyaar to doobara kiya ja sakta hai na.

AK: Zindagi me galtiyaan dohrayi jati hai, pyaar nahi. Agar aap ko lagta hai ki aap zindagi me doobara pyaar kar sakte hai to shaayad aap ne pehle kabhi pyaar kiya hi nahi. Shayad wo aapki galti thi ya phir jo aap karne ja rahe hai wo aapki galti hai. Aur ham achhe se jante hai ki jo ham ne pehle kiya tha wo galti nahi hamara pyaar tha. Jo ki ab khatam ho chuka hai, isiliye hamne apne us dil ko bhi jala diya jisne pyaar kiya tha taaki wo doobara kabhi kisi se pyaar na kar sake.

She completes eating it. He goes to the kitchen and gets indulged into his own thoughts. The girl with him is way too weird. At once, she behaves as she is not sub conscious but completely out of her mind doing all the possible nuisances but the other moment, her words proves that she is the most intelligent person even being drunk and completely losing her senses. Just then he listens a loud noice. He comes out to find her looking at the ground. He follows her gaze to find a broken vase with the glass pieces shattered on the ground.

AJ(in his mind): Isse pehle ki ye mere poore restaurant ka nuksaan karde, ise jaldi se ghar le jana padega.

He comes to her. She looks at him with an apologizing look and holds her ears to say sorry.

AJ: It's Ok. Chalo.
