(Nandini smiles, but Manik doesn't respond he just left, which makes Nandini felt bad. She kept staring towards the door from where Manik left, Mukti looks towards Nandini & then back, but there was no one!)

Mukti (shakes Nandini)," Hello!! Tujhe kya hogaya? Kaha khoyi hui hai?"

Nandini (bring herself in reality)," No.. nothing... mujhe kya hoga!!"

Mukti," Toh vaha kya apna bhoot dekh rahi hai yaa phir....!!"

Nandini (looks towards Mukti with wide eyes)," ya phir??"

Mukti," Ya phir... bhai ko??"

Nandini (moves her eyes of Mukti & started looking down towards her fiddling hands, Mukti also bends down & books at her blushing face)," Aisa kuch bhi nahi hai... main vo bas!!"

Mukti (interrupting)," Main... vo... kya??"

Nandini (looks up & make an eyecontact with Mukti)," Mukti aisa kuch bhi nahi hai jesa tu soch rahi hai, its just that Manik is behaving wierdly, like abhi tak vo normal tha but now he is not even smiling so thats why i was looking at him! Its because of Alisha, right??"

Mukti (smile dissappears from her face) ," Nandini ye abhi ki bat nahi hai, bhai tab se aise hi hai jab se that Alisha left him! Unme itna gussa hai ke its unbearable & vo kuch bol bhi nahi rahe hain, it seems as if all emotions, all feelings all love is vanished, na vo shout kar rahe hain, i am afraid Nandini! Maine bhai ko aise kabhi nahi dekha, aur ye sab hua because of that Alisha!!"

Nandini (listening calmly towards Mukti, keeps her hand on Mukti's shoulders) ," I understand Mukti, its not easy to see your brother in so much pain but Manik is trying to deal with a bad situation, so i think we should give him some space!!

Mukti (removes Nandini's hand from her shoulders & keep it in her hands) ," Nandini, you are not getting it, bhai apna gussa control nahi karte, he always throws it anger out that's why i am finding unka yeh behaviour wierd! It's not normal, i hope bhai jaldi se cope up kar le!!"

Nandini (smiling)," Don't worry Mukti he will be fine, everything will be back to normal again!!"

Mukti," I hope so, but how??"

Nandini (speaking to herself looking towards the door with firm determination & confidence )," I will do that, he will have to be normal like he was before!!"

(Mukti was looking at Nandini, waves her hand in front of her & shakes her again )," Ab phir se kya ho gaya tjko? Bhai theek kese honge?"

Nandini (get herself in reality)," Vo... Mukti kuch nahi bas aise hi kuch soch rahi thi & i meant time ke sath theek ho jata hai!!"

Mukti(cringed her eyebrows)," Kya soch rahi thi tu??"

Nandini," Vo.. bohot hurt hota hoga na jab koi ditch karta hai love mein, kaisa feel hota hoga?"

Mukti(thinking)," Yaar ab yeh toh mujhe bhi nahi pata, apan ne kaha kabhi love shuv kia hai jo idea ho!!"

Nandini," Haan but still aise lagta hoga like heart broke into zillion of nails are pierced into heart! Hai na??"

Mukti," Haan... maybe but ye sirf vohi feel kar sakta hai jiske sath ye hua ho yaar we can't feel it until the same happens to us!! And i hope apne sath aisa kuch na ho! It hurts a lot, i can feel it seeing the condition of bhai!! Aur mujhe bohot bura lagta unko aise dekh kar!!"

Nandini (in spft voice)," You know Mukti, a wounded heart is more painful that a wounded body!!"

Mukti(looks up towards Nandini)," Yeah & abhi humare pas dono hai...!!"

Nandini," Matlab??"

Mukti (gets up and moves away a little bit from Nandini)," Matlab yeh ki bhai wounded heart & tu Ms. Nandini wounded body!! Perfect combination, hai na!!"

Nandini (frowns & moves her hand towards Mukti to hit her)," Shut up Mukti, tu idher aa tujko bataun main wounded body ka pain!!'

Mukti(teasing)," No i won't come near you i know you will kill me!!"

Nandini(making smart face)," Vo toh main tujhe aise bhi mar sakti hoon!!'

Mukti (keeping her both hands on her waist)," Acha.. kaise??"

(Nandini begin getting up from bed, both were laughing in fun, as Nandini moves from her bed she cries out of pain & Mukti came rushing near Nandini in fear & calls Manik)

Mukti," Nandini! Nandini!! Kya hua?? Are you fine?? Bhai bhai??"

Nandini(crying in pain with closed eyes)," I don't know Mukti, its paining, shayad i tried to move na thats why stitches pe effect aya!!"

Mukti," I am so sorry yar i played prank with you in this condition, i am so sorry yaar, main doctor ko bula kar lati hoon!!"

(Nandini opens her eyes, stops crying in pain & holds & hits on Mukti's hand & back instead Mukti was in shock as in what happened suddenly!)

Mukti," Yeh kya hua tujhe pain nahi ho raha & mujhe kyu mar rahi hai?"

Nandini(Nandini said in taunting way with a smile)," Kyun pranks sirf tu hi kar sakti hai, main nahi??"

Mukti(still in shock, & her eyes widened & yells on Nandini)," Tu pagal hai kya, yeh bhi koi prank hai, seriously aise koi prank play karta hai kya, what's wrong with you Nandini!! Don't talk to me, i was feeling guily ke mere wajah se tujhe pain hua and you are like...god!!"

(Mukti stands backfacing Nandini in anger & smile vanishes from Nandini's face)

Nandini (sadly)," Mukti i am sorry, plz look at me na i am sorry na plz!!"

Mukti(still backfacing)," No sorry Nandini, this was not at all funny!!"

(Nandini starts sobbing & Mukti turns & wipes her tears & hugs her)

Mukti," Stop crying, don't do that again!"

Nandini," Never, i am sorry!!"

Mukti," Vese what if i say ke mera yeh gussa bhi prnak ka part tha toh??"

(Nandini frowns & Mukti again started laughing)

Nandini," Mukti like seriously, now you don't talk to me!!"

(She sits backfacing Mukti, but Mukti cheers her up! & suddenly Manik when hears Nandini's voice came inside rushing. Nandini & Mukti stopped laughing)

Manik (in serious tone)," What happened Mukti? Why were you shouting??"

Mukti," Nothing bhai vo hum bas Masti kar rahe the, i played a prank on her, so she also played a prank of having pain on wound which i wasn't aware of, so i cried out your name!!"

(Listening to this, Manik's eyes turned red & he starts bubbling in anger, which was enough to make Nandini & Mukti frightened.)
