(At home, Manik's room)

(Manik was lying on bed, with his face digged into pillow. He wake up & sits on the bed, holding his head.)

Manik," God! My head is paining so much! Mukesh kaka, bring coffee for me!!"

(Manik shouts & picks up his phone and checks time in it & notices missed calls of Mukti.)

Manik," Oh shit! Nandini, kal main use Mukti ke sath akela hospital mein chod aya, what if Mukti so rahi ho & Nandini ko kuch jarurat padi ho but vo uthi hi nahi ho toh! But why do i care, bohot pranks kar rahi thi na vo toh mujhe kya!!.... But doctor ne mujhe mana kiya tha use koi bhi tension na ho aur main uspe kitna chillaya tha, maine face dekha tha uska it was pale yellow!! What if uske stitches pe koi effect na aya ho, vo theek toh hogi na??"
(Manik covers his face with his palms) So much thoughts running in your mind Manik!!" (He stressed on the word Manik a little.)

(Suddenly Mukesh kaka knocks door!)

Mukesh," Manik baba, main apki coffe laya!!"

Manik,"Haan toh le ao na andar wait kiska kar rahe ho??"

Mukesh," Baba door band hai, open nahi ho raha!!"

(Manik gets up & goes near the door avoiding the stuff lying on the floor! He opens the door & takes his coffee went out & sit on couch. Mukesh follows.)

Manik," Mom, dad kahan hain?"

Mukesh ," Vo hospital gaye hain, Nandini baby se milne!!"

Manik," Okay!"

(Mukesh went to kitchen, & Shashi came down the stairs & sit near Manik.)

Manik," Good morning massi!!"

Shashi," Good morning manik, (Shashi notices wound on Manik's hand & holds his hand.)

Oh god Manik, yeh tumhare hath ko kya hua?? Mukesh first aid box lekar ao jaldi!!"

Manik ," Arey nahi massi vo aise hi thodi si chot lag gayi hai theek ho jaega!!"

Shashi," Manik ye thodi si chot nahi hai, tum chup raho!!"

(Mukesh kaka brings first aid box & Shashi cleans wound apply ointment & covers his wound.)

Manik," Apki tabiyat kaisi hai ab?"

Shashi," Main theek hu ab!! Acha main hospital ja rahi hoon toh tum bhi chaloge?"

Manik," Nahi, mujhe kahi nahi jana ap jao!!"

Shashi," Arey, kyun kya hua suddenly! Kal tak toh tum hospital mein hi rehna chahte the aj kya hua?"

Manik (restlessly)," Kuch nahi hua, bas mujhe nahi jana, ap jao!"

Shashi," Okay! Relax"

(Shashi goes & after getting ready leaves for hospital. Manik's restlessness increases. He takes shower, gets ready & leaves for the hospital. He reached hospital & enters hospital. With heavy steps he went towards the room but was unable to open the door, he was fisting his hands. He gathered courage & opens. Raj looked towards Manik, with an angry look but didn't utter a word, Manik looks at everyone one by one. Everyone was sitting and talking, door attracted everyone's attention, & everyone was surprised seeing Manik, Nandini was shocked & happy from inside. Mukti rushes & hugged Manik.)

Mukti,"I am sorry bhai kal jo bhi hua uske liye extremely sorry!!"

(Manik tap her shoulder few times.)

Manik," Its okay Mukti, relax!!"

Mukti (breaks hug & holds Manik's wounded hand accidently)," Comeon bhai andar ao!!"

(Manik shouts in pain & jerks his hand,  everyone see towards him & his wound.)

Nyonika," Manik! Your hand, kya hua??"

(Nandini looks at his hands, smile of seeing him vanishes from her face!)

Manik (looks towards everyone)," Vo... vo kal....!!" (He bent his neck little downwards & rotates his eyes covering everyone in it. Everyone present there was waiting for an answer.!)

Raj (interups)," Kal janab pee kar aye the na usi ka asar hai yeh! Tod fod jo kari hai inhone apne... nahi nahi mere ghar mein!! Kyun Mr. Manik??"

(Manik looks for few minutes at his dad & goes to him, he was giving angry look, but he controlled his anger.)

Manik,"Dad i am sorry for yesterday's behaviour, its just that i was...!!"

(He stopped, he wasn't able to complete his sentence. Everyone understood the reason but was shocked to hear that Manik said sorry to someone!!.)

Raj(shocked but smiles)," Its okay! You don't need to explain!"

(Door again opened, it was Shashi this time, who was surprised & shocked to see Manik. She enters inside & stoods in front of Manik with hands folded to her chest.)

Shashi," Manik, tum toh hospital nahi arahe the na & mujhse pehle aye ho tum kyun? Mere sath nahi asakte the when i asked??"

Manik," Vo massi, main bahar gaya but ap vahan nahi the, i thought ke ap chale gaye, islie...!!"

Shashi," Oh ab isme bhi meri galti hai...!!"

(Nyonika interrupted.)

Nyonika," Arey ab bas bhi karo, vo bichara abhi aya hai, aur tum logo ne questions fire kar die, ajane do use andar, come Manik, sit!!"

(Manik enters inside & was looking time to time towards Nandini but Nandini wasn't looking at him, but she knew that Manik was staring her! Mukti also knew the same! She decided to make a plan to leave them alone.)

Mukti,"Mom dad, Massi chalo na kuch khane chalte hain i am hungry bohot sara!!"

Raj," Nahi, main nahi ja raha hoon, i am not hungry, maine breakfast kar liya tha so you guys carry on, main yahi rukta hoon!!"

Mukti," Arey dad ap ne breakfast kia tha its 4 pm, ab toh bhook lag ayi hogi! Agar nahi bhi lagi hai toh bhi chalo humein company do!"

(Mukti goes & pulls Raj.)

Raj," Acha okay baba ata hoon, chalo!!"

(Everyone was about to leave, Raj turned.)

Raj," Manik, tum nahi chaloge, tumhe kuch khana nahi??"

Manik," No dad, i am not hungry and vese bhi we can't leave Nandini alone, doctor ne bola hai!!"

Mukti," Yaar dad ap chalo na mujhe bhook lag rahi hai!!" (She again pulls raj from his elbow.)

Raj ," Are acha... aa toh raha hoon chal meri maa!!"

(Everyone goes. Now Manik & Nandini were alone in room, there was pin drop silence, both wanted to speak but they didn't knew what to speak. Manik took baby steps & sit in front of Nandini on her bed & holds her hand. Nandini didn't utter a word, she was just feeling butterflies in her stomach.)

Manik," Vo... Vo nandini, i wanted to.... (he clears his throat, his hands were shivering which Nandini was able to feel, Manik leaves her hand. Nandini looked at her hand first & then towards Manik, who was continuously looking towards his hands.)

Nandini," Bolo Manik!!"

(Manik makes an eye contact with Nandini. Both were looking at each other.)

Manik," Nandini vo i came here to apologize!!"

Nandini(her eyebrows cringed)," Apologize, for what??"

Manik," Vo i shouted on you & left you alone here, thats why!!"

Nandini(she moves little back & removes crings from her eyebrows)," Oh!! Its fine Manik, you need not to apologize!!"

Manik," No i need to apologize because i made a mistake, i knew doctor denied to not to give you any kind of stress, still i lashed out on you. Mujhe aisa nahi karna chahiye tha! M sorry!"

Nandini," It wasn't your fault, infact hum galat the, i played a serious prank on you jo mujhe nahi karna chahiye tha infact sorry toh mujhe bolna chahiye!!"

Manik (straightens his back & with little confidence)," Toh bolo what are you waiting for??"

Nandini," Haan?? Kya bolu main??"

Manik," Vohi tumhara sorry!! Tumhari galti hai na toh bolo!"

Nandini," Oh!! Sorry!!"

Manik," Main tumhari apology ek hi condition pe accept karunga??"

Nandini," Oh condition and all haan!! So ok fine if that's the case then
meri bhi kuch, nahi kuch nahi bohot sari conditions hain jo tumko manni hongi?"  (She said with rolling her hands around her chest & a happy face.)

Manik (with cringed eyebrows)," What conditions , bohot sari aur vo bhi tum?? Tum kabse yeh sab karne lag gayi??"

Nandini," Kyun conditions sirf tum hi rakh sakte ho main nahin??"

Manik," Okay, fine madam, boliye kya conditions hain apki!!"

(Nandini thinks for a while & Manik was looking at her face continuously, waiting for her to reply.)
