Dan: Kya hua? What happened?

Robert got startled, not realizing when he sat next to him. He was about to get up but Daniel held his wrist.

Dan: Hum baat kar sakte hai, ya mujhe woh karne ki permission bhi nahi? Jaha tak mai janta hu maine kabhi aisa kuch nahi kaha jo tujhe dard de, kiya hai kya? We can talk, or am I not allowed to do so? As far as I know I never did anything to hurt you, did I?

Robert: Nahi. Bas ab baat karna ajeeb lagta hai confession ke baad se. No. It is just awkward talking to you after the confession.

Dan: Us confession ka koyi matlab tha? Matlab ha hume ek dusre ki feelings pata chali lekin ajnabi rahe. Jo confession rishta na de saka, wo ye awkwardness kaise de sakta hai? Did that confession mean anything? I mean we did find out of each other's feelings but remained strangers. When it couldn't give us a relation, why should we let it create awkwardness?

Robert: Aap sahi bol rahe ho. Dost? You are right. So friends?

Dan: Na. Mai tera boyfriend banna chahta hu, dost nahi. Jab hum dono ko feelings hai, kuch mushkile hume humesha dur nahi rakh sakegi. Maine kabhi in feelings ko nahi bhulaya... Nahi bhula paya. Nope. I want to be your boyfriend, not friend. When both of us feel the same, few obstacles can't keep us far forever. I never moved on... I just couldn't.

He answered both of the questions Robert got in his mind.

Robert: Aapko itna yakeen kaise hai ki maine bhi nahi bhulaya? How are you so sure I didn't move on as well?

Dan: Tu mujhe avoid kar raha tha. Agar bhula diya hota, toh farak hi nahi padta. Aur mai wo wajah bhi janta hu jiski wajah se tu mujhe apni zindagi ka hissa nahi banana chahta. You were avoiding me. If you had, it just wouldn't matter. And I know the reason you don't want me to be a part of your life as well.

Robert: Aap itna sab kaise pata laga lete ho? Koyi detective ya spy ho kya? How do you find out so much? Are you a detective or spy?

Dan: Meri bas observation skills achi hai. I've just got good observation skills.

Robert: Ab toh bhagwaan hi bacha sakte hai mujhe aapki observation skills se. Only God can save me from your observation skills now.

Dan: Tune mere sawaal ka jawaab nahi diya. You didn't answer my question.

Robert: Kuch nahi hua. Nothing happened.

Just then they saw Sid and Tanya leaving in a hurry.

Dan: Yeh dono kidhar ja rahe hai? Where are they going?

Randeep: Sid ko Abhi ka call aaya aur dono chale gaye. Sid received Abhi's call and then both of them left.

Sid and Tanya reached where Abhi is and he pulled them behind a pillar. They were in an abandoned site which had been destroyed but clearly was once a huge fort type place.

Tanya: Why di...

He gestured her to keep quiet and turned in a direction, so Sidanya also looked there. Mansi was there, she was dancing. She looked tired yet she didn't stop, though it looked like her legs would give up any moment, her dance was graceful. After sometime she fell to the ground and Tanya was about to run to her but Sid held her hand on time.

Abhi: Hum nahi jante wo hosh mein hai ya nahi, uske paas mat ja. First aid kit laye tum dono? We don't know if she is in senses or not, don't go to her. You got the first aid kit?

Sid: Ha. Yes.

He gave it to Abhi and Abhi slowly went to Mansi.

Abhi: Ye behosh ho gayi hai. She has fainted.

Sidanya also came front. Abhi was now applying a medicine on her feet.

Tanya: Kya hua? What's wrong?

She went to him and gasped seeing Mansi's feet.

Tanya: Wo khadi bhi kaise thi? Naachna dur ki baat hai. How was she even standing? Let alone dancing.

Abhi: Ye cut puraane hai, shayad kaanch ke tukdo par khadi thi ya chal rahi thi. The cuts are old, most probably by standing or walking on glass pieces.

Sid: Ye aisa kyu karegi? Why would she do that?

Abhi: Ye jo bhi karegi humari samajh ke upar hoga. Woh log ise bahut zyada torture kar rahe hai. Iske pau bahut zyada jal bhi chuke hai, hospital jana hoga. Anything she does won't make sense to us. Those people are torturing her badly. Her feet are burnt as well very much, we will have to go to a hospital.

They took her to the car.

Tanya: Teri bike? Your bike?

Abhi: Baad mein le lunga. I'll take it later.

On the way it started raining. Sid received Avu's call. He picked it and put it on speaker.

Sid: Av...

Avu: Sid, hum Jannat di ko ____ hospital laye hai. Sid, we have brought Jannat di to ____ hospital.

Abhi and Tanya looked at each other. Sid told Avu they are going to the same hospital. Soon they reached and the doctor was checking Mansi. With Jannat Avu, Jai and Reem were there.

Sid: Avu, kya hua unhe? Avu, what happened to her?

Avu: Fais bhai ne achanak sagayi tod di aur tabse wo ro rahi thi. Achanak khadi huyi par chakkar aa rahe the. Wo gir gayi aur unka sir table par jakar laga. Fais bhai broke their engagement suddenly and since then she was crying. She suddenly stood up but was feeling dizzy. She fell down and hit her head on the table.

Sid: Sagayi tod di? Kyu? Broke their engagement? Why?

Avu: Koyi nahi janta. No one knows.

Sid: Unhe zyada lagi thi kya? Was she hurt too much?

Avu: Wo toh doctor hi bata sakte hai, unke khoon aa raha tha. Aap teeno? Doctor can only say that, her head was bleeding. You three?

Sid: Mansi di ke liye. Bhai shayad baad mein batayege. For Mansi di. Bhai will tell later I guess.

He added the second part seeing the doctor come out. Jaan's doctor came and said she is fine now.

Tanya: Mai yaha rukhti hu, tum sab unse mil aao. I'll be here, you all meet her.

Abhi: Hmm. Tu zyada tension na le, wo thik ho jayegi. Hmm. Don't worry so much, she'll be fine.

Tanya nodded and they all went to Jannat.

Tanya: Mansi ne pau pe bandage lagayi hogi kaanch par chalne ke baad, mummy papa ghar nahi bhi hoge toh di ne usse pucha hi hoga. Unse shaam mein baat karungi. Mansi must have bandaged her legs after stepping onto the glass, di must have asked her about it even if mummy papa weren't home. I'll talk to her in evening.

With Sidneet and Abhi, after meeting Jannat they came out.

Abhi: Sid, Avu, tum dono ko apni aaj ki date par jana chahiye. Sid, Avu, you both should go to your date today.

Avu: Lekin bhai hum in haalaton mein kaise ja sakte hai? But bhai how can we go in this situation?

Abhi: Yeh sab lagbhag 2 mahino tak chalega ab, uske baad bhi khatam hoga ya nahi hum nahi jante. Lekin tum is sabke peeche jeena nahi chod sakte. Khudko itna stress mat do is baare mein, tumhe apni job aur padhai bhi sambhalni hai. As a couple tumne pehli baar baat hi hospital ke baare mein ki, ab apni pehli date mat bigaado. Is date ki wajah se man bhi distract kar paoge is situation se. This will go on for almost 2 months now, we don't know if it will end after that also. But you can't stop living for that. Don't stress yourselves so much over this matter, you have to handle your job and studies also. Your first conversation as a couple was also about hospital, now don't spoil your first date. The date can distract you both from the situation as well.

Sidneet looked at each other.

Sid: Thik hai bhai, lekin kuch bhi ho ya hum kisi bhi tarah madad kar sakte ho toh aap bata dena. Ok bhai, but tell us if anything happens or there is anyway we can help.

Abhi nodded.

Abhi: Tum dono ab Jannat di ko unke ghar le jao, mai aur Jai hai idhar. Reem ko saath le jao, Robert use ghar chod dega. You both take Jannat di to her home now, I and Jai are here. Take Reem along, Robert will drop her home.

Sidneet: Ok.

Soon the four left. After sometime,

Jai: Mai tum dono ke khaane ke liye kuch lata hu. I'll get something for you both to eat.

Abhi nodded and he went.

Tanya: Wo ab tak uthi kyu nahi? Aur ye kaise ritual hai, pau mein itna dard hone ke bawajood bhi wo naach rahi thi. Why hasn't she woken up yet? And what kind of ritual is this, she was dancing despite so much pain in her feet.

Abhi: Mujhe nahi lagta ye koyi ritual tha. I don't think it was a ritual.

Vaish: Phir wo aisa kyu karegi? Then why would she?

Abhi: Jis tarah se wo naach rahi thi, mostly apne emotions release karne ko, naachte wakt woh free feel karti hai. Woh apne parivaar tak ke saamne apne emotions nahi dikha sakti, un emotions ko humesha dabaye bhi toh nahi rakh sakti toh ye tareeka nikal liya. With the way she was dancing, most probably to let out her emotions, she feels free while dancing. She isn't even able to express her emotions in front of her own family, she can't keep bottling them up so found this way to release them.

Tanya: Kya baat hai jo use rokh rahi hai? What is stopping her?

He sighed.

Abhi: Wo jald thik ho jayegi aur uth jayegi. Mai un logo ko use kuch nahi karne dunga. She'll wake up soon and be fine. I won't let those people to anything to her.

His phone lit up and he checked it. He kissed her forehead and stood up.

Abhi: Mai aaya. I'll be back.

He went.

Tanya: Wo kuch chupa raha hai kya? Is he hiding something?

Jai: Wo nahi, Mansi chupa rahi hai. He is not, Mansi is.

Tanya: Kya matlab? What do you mean?

Jai: Kuch aisi baatein hai jo Mansi nahi chahti ki tujhe pata chale. Mai nahi janta ki wo kya hai, lekin agar wo yeh baat chupane ke liye maan gaya, hume uske decision par bharosa rakhna chahiye. Wo janta hai kya baat zaruri hai kya nahi, warna tujhe kuch bhi pata nahi hota. Agar wo har baat batane lag gaya Mansi ke ichcha ke khilaaf, wo use kuch nahi batayegi jisse uski madad karna aur mushkil ho jayega. There are things Mansi doesn't want you to find out. I don't what it is, but if he agreed to keep it secret from you, we should trust his decision. He knows what is necessary to tell and what isn't, or you wouldn't be aware of anything at all. If he starts telling you every single thing against her wish she'll not tell him anything which will make it more difficult for us to help her.

Jai(in mind): Yeh sab baate use bolni chahiye par usne iska sawaal taal diya. Upar se wo sab kuch bas apni zimmedari bana raha hai. Usse baat karni padegi. He should be the one telling her all this but he is ignoring her question. Upon that he is making everything his responsibility. I'll have to talk to him.
