Rah: Kya hai?

He said irritatedly. She slapped his arm.

Sana: Be gadhe udar dekh

She said pointing somewhere. Rahul looked in the direction of her finger. Avu was standing fiddling her fingers. Rahul and Sana looked at each other. Sana's crossed her fingers. Avu slowly went towards Sid. She sat on another sofa in front of Sid who was sitting holding his head in his hands so he didn't notice. She took a deep breath.

Avu: Si..Si..ddharth

She said nervously. Sid's heart skipped a beat listening his name from her mouth after years. He looked up and saw her sitting biting her lips out of nervously. He pinched himself to confirm he ain't dreaming.

Sid: Avneet?

Avu: Umm wo I...

She didn't know where to start. She was thinking aa to gayi but ab baat kya aur kaise karoo.

Sidneet: (together) Kuch baat karni hai

Both looked at eachother.

Sid: Okk

Avu: Umm wo actually

Again she got stucked. It was too awkward for both.

Avu: Wo how is your foot?

Sid looked at his foot for a second as if  remembering he had an injury there.

Sid: Oh that's fine. It just twisted

Avu nodded. And then they again got quite looking here and there.

Sid: Avneet I just want to say that. Mein kehna chah raha tha ki

Avu: Hmm?

Sid: Mujhe bolna tha yrr ki I just

Avu: It's okk calm down first. Then we can talk

Sid nodded.

Sid: Avneet whatever happened in past I mean all that after our marriage. Jo bhi hua wo galat tha. I know I should have given you time. I was more concerned about our future rather than present. Mein samaj hi nhi paya uss time ki you need me

Avu: I know and I should have atleast talked to you calmly. The shitty wording I used for you. I was being a jerk to use words like you want to get in my legs and spoiling my money all that was so wrong. I never tried to understand things from your point of view. I made small things so big

She said with her voice cracking in between.

Sid: And I shouldn't have that kind of words for you. Honestly aaj bhi mere kaano mein ghoonjti hai wo baatein aur by God bohot guilt hota hai

Avu: I am sorry

She said breaking down. It was too difficult for her to control so she let it out.

Sid: Please mujhe bhi maaf kardo. I should have done this way too early but I am sorry

Avu: Maine bhi tumhe kabhi samajhne ki koshish nhi ki. I made such a big issue of everything. I am sorry Siddharth. I am so sorry

Both were in tears not able to look up. Sana and Rahul were looking at them. They looked at each other with a smile.

Sana: Let's not disturb them

Rahul nodded. They kept tea and snacks in kitchen and went outside without disturbing Sidneet and let them spend sometime.

Sid took her hand in his. She looked at their hands and then at him.

Sid: Can we do a fresh start? Can we start from beginning?

Avu: Kaha se start karna chahte ho?

Sid: Bilkul beginning se. Let's leave our past and be friends. Once again can we start all over again if you don't have a problem

Avu took her hand back from him.
