Nav: cabir yeah tum niche kya kar rahe the
C: mein kya kar raha tha?
Nav: cabir mein sab samajh rahi hu tum yeah kya karne ki kosish kar rahe ho

C: tab toh yeah bhi janti hogi ki mein kyu kar raha hu
Nav sternly: cabir yeah matt bhulo ki nandini manik ki biwi hai

C: aur veebha manik ka bachpan ka pyar

Nav: sahi kaha BACHPAN KA PYAR hai veebha; aur bachpan mein bachpana hota hai pyar nahi; aur aab woh bade ho gaye hai

C: navya I am doing what is right for both of them

Nav: aur meri bhen ka kya; har baar uss k hisse mein hi dard kyu

C: dard manik aur veebha ko bhi hua hai

Nav: uska badla tum meri bhen se nahi le sakte; aur meine dekha hai manik k aakho mein nandini k liye pyar

C chuckle: jo aaj tak meri aakho mein apne liye pyar nahi dekh pai; usne manik ki aakho mein pyar dekh liya

Nav shout: cabirr
C: chillau matt manta hu nandini ko bhuat dukh mila hai par bina pyar wale rishte mein rahegi toh zindagi bhar dukhi rahegi

Nav: yeah tum nahi, veebha ka bada bhai cabir bol raha hai, Iss liye tumhari baat ko dil se nahi lungi. Janti hu bhen ka pyar kya hota par yaad rakhna cabir apni bhen k sath nainsaafi mein bhi hone nahi dungi

A left

M was passing by suddenly see Mus was sitting on sofa alone
M: aab abhi tak yaha kya kar rahe ho? It's already bed time
Mus: mujhe abhi nind nahi aa rahi
M sit beside her

M: chote baccho ko jaldi sona chahiye
Mus: aur apki tarah lambe baccho ko kab sona chahiye
M: did you just call me lamba baccha
Mus: ek baar mein clearly sunai nahi diya
M mutters: indeed veebha ki beti hai
Mus: aaye meri mom k bare mein kya bola
M: nothing
Mus: I heard you said something
M: arey kuch nahi bola yr; ruko kal tumhari mummy ko bolta hu you don't respect elders

Mus: no no mom fir punish karegi
M: say sorry to me
Mus take a jar and pour on manik
Mus: sorry
M: what the ....

Mus runs and M runs after her

M: muskaan ruko lag jayegi
Mus: pakad k dikao
M run after her; from nowhere N comes and M bumped on her
N: aauch...

Before N falls M held her waist and pulled her close
N looked at him

M: I am always there to hold you
N: thanks

Mus: oye lambu
M leave N and looked at Mus
M: you...
N: manik language bacchi hai
M: bacchi hai toh bacchi jaise behave kare nah
N: manik its okay...
M: first she called mein lambu and then she pour whole jar of water on me

N chuckle

M grab the jar and pour on N
N: manikkk...
M: aab haso... haso nah
N: you are worse than muskan

M: jab hamare 10-12 bacche honge aur woh sab tumhe mummy mummy bula kar tumhara jeena haram karenge tab mein dekhta hu

N: haa jab hamare 10-12 bacche honge....

"kiske 10-12 bacche honge"

Manan turn and see Nav standing with a smirk
N stammers: woh who... d.... bas....

M: navya nandini ne mujhpar pani feka
N: excuse me??
M: fir meine bhi pani feka, hisaab barabar. And you little bundle of trouble come tumhe tumhari mummy k paas le jata hu

M carry Mus and leaves

Nav: kya mein jo samajh rahi hu woh sach hai

N: zindagi k kuch yuhi chote chote pal hi toh hai; jo zindagibhar yaad rhete hai

Nav: nandu.... Tere aur manik k bich
N: kuch nahi hai

Nav: aisa lagta toh nahi hai. Tu veebha ko kyu lai, jante huye ki woh manik ka

N: phela pyar hai.... Mein dar dar k nahi jeena chahati dd, ki kahi kal mujhe manik veebha k liye chodkar chala naa jaye. Purane rishte k rhete huye naya rishta kabhi suru nahi ho sakta; he has the right to choose who he wants to live with

Nav: aur agar woh wapas nahi aaya toh? Veebha k pas chala gaya toh

N: wapas nahi aaya toh woh mera kabhi tha hi nahi; aur jaha tak veebha ki baat hai usne bhi manik ka pyar pane ka pura haq hai dd

Nav: par nandu

N: veebha deserves a fair chance dd; 3 saal phele kaise circumstances the hum nahi jante iss liye we shouldn't judge. Aur veebha k aakho mein dikhta hai manik k liye pyar ...... mein ek aise dastaan k bich nahi aana chahati jo puri ho sakti ho

N left

Nav: sayad tu sahi khe rahi hai nandini; everyone deserves a fair chance
