At the hospital...
"Mere baad kucch kaam-vaam kiya ya nhi?" Bandana asked Shahveer. "Team ki leader coma me thi, to koi lead karne wala nhi tha. Bacha hua kaam forensic wala tha aur hamari forensic expert ya to shopping kar rhi hoti thi, ya haldi lagwaa rahi hoti thi ya fir mehendi lagake bethi hoti thi" Shahveer replied looking away.

Bandana kept quiet. Sameeksha was her life. For Bandana, getting married to Rohit was a symbol of Bandana and Rohit's love. On the other hand, being present at Sameeksha's marriage rituals, teasing her, dancing in her marriage was one of her biggest dreams. Everything shattered in seconds...but this was life, and she knew it.

"Ab me coma se bahar aa geyi hu, time to catch up" She said. He nodded. "Sameeksha ko bulaya hai office me, paperwork dekhne ke lie" He said, "good good" She replied, "mujhe kab discharge kar rhe yeh log?" She asked. "Vese to boht jaldi theek ho rhi ho, par yeh fracture ki wajah se ek do din aur" He said pointing at her right arm.

Someone opened the door. Both expected Sameeksha, but for their surprise it was Rohit. Bandana smiled, and then she thought about Sameeksha.

"Rohit? Sameeksha ne btaya tumhara shoot tha...yaha kya kar rahe ho?" Shahveer asked. "Bandana se milne aaya hu" He said.

"Shahveer mujhe Rohit se kucch baat krni hai akele me...if you don't mind..." Bandana said to Shahveer. He nodded and left.

"Bolie Rohit" Bandana said to Rohit. "Fesla badla?" He asked, "woh mera aakhri fesla tha" She said looking down. "Yehi baat meri aankho me dekh kar bolo" He said. "Woh mera aakhri fesla tha" She said looking in his eyes, "aap meri Sameeksha ke pati ho aur yehi sach hai. Mene ise accept kar lia hai, Sameeksha bhi kar legi aur aapko bhi karna hoga" She said confidently. 

He was about to say something when she spoke, "I think aap yehi baat krne aae the, aur ab aap shoot ke lie late ho rahe ho" She said looking at the door. He stood up and turned to leave.

"Sameeksha ko mera Hi bolna...Jijaji" Bandana said. He turned back. "Ab Jija bol dia hai to yeh bhi sunlo ke saali aadhi gharwali hoti hai" He said. "Dusro ki hoti hogi, me extra-marital affairs me nhi maanti. Aur jab ese log milte hai jinke ese chakkar chal rahe ho, to bohot peet'ti hu unhe" She said.

He sighed. "Bandana me tumhara wait krunga" He said in a low voice. "Mat karna...kyu ki mera intezaar meri duty kar rhi hai, jo mere lie zada important hai" She said, "aur Sameeksha ki shaadi shuda zindagi me taak-jhaak nhi karna mujhe" She said. "Good bye" She said before he could say anything.

She tood a deep breath as he closed the door. A couple of tears dropped from her eyes.

Shahveer came in. "Sab theek hai?" He asked. Bandana nodded. "Faltu ki bakwaas bas" She said, "make sure yeh aage se kabhi mujhse akele me milne naa aae" She said. He nodded.

Negi Nivaas...
After dineer Sameeksha and Rohit went to their bedroom.

They stood in front of the bed. "Mujhe nhi sona tumhare saath iss bed pe" Sameeksha said, "I don't trust you" She said. "Trust? Me wesa nhi hu" He said. Sameeksha ignored him.

"Itni hi problem hai to couch pe so jao" He said. Sameeksha looked at the couch. "Chota hai" She said. "To mere sar pe so jao!" He replied.

Sameeksha looked at him angrily. "Tumhari problem kya hai? Zabardasti shaadi meri bhi hui hai! Tumhe to sirf attraction hua Bandana se, mujhe Shahveer se pyaar hua tha! Itne kam dino me tumne Bandana ko psand kar lia...pyaar nhi tha woh! Attraction tha! Woh nhi mili to itna bigad rahe ho, mera aur Shahveer ka socho!" She said in a loud voice.

He was surprised by Sameeksha's sudden reaction. "Ermm, sorry" He said, "tum so jao yaha bed pe, me couch pe so jaunga" He said.

Sameeksha felt a bit bad for shouting at him. "It's okay...waha sone ki koi zarurat nhi hai. Tum bed pe so jao vese bhi shoot pe thakk gey hoge" She said. "Nhi tum bhi to thaki hogi waha kaam pe" He said.

"Nhi na, dekho me to office me bethi rahi. Waha paperwork karna tha, matlab kucch files thi, unko padhna tha aur unpe signature karna tha..." She was saying without stopping.

"Okay Sameeksha, ham iska solution nikaal..." Rohit tried to say. "Arey suno to!" She said, "haan to mene woh sab kaam kia. Tum waha pta nhi ek scene ke kitne takes le rahe the...itna kaam! Upar se couch?? Ese kese..." She was still saying, "statue!!!!" Rohit said all of a sudden. Sameeksha stopped.

"Kitna bolti ho yaar????" He asked holding his head. Sameeksha was still.
