HM: ha bus mei apna purse lay k aai. Eshaan  bus 5 minute rukain gay ap?

Eshaan: theek hai par jaldi aana.

Haseena nodded and rushes inside to take her mobile and other accessories.

In the car.

HM: kiyà hua eshaan ap nay Anubhav say baat ki? Usay samjhaya?

Eshaan: haseena is mei ghalat hi Kiya hai.

HM: matlab ap usay samjhanay k bajaey usi ka Sath day rhy hain?

Eshaan: mei Sath nahi day rha hun uska haseena. Par us k dil mei Jo tumharay liey feelings hai usay nikal toh nahi sakta mei. Ha par usay samjhanay ki koshish zaroor karun ga. Aaj meri us say baat nahi ho pae. Par mei koshish karunga.

HM: apko is mei uski ghalti nahi lagti kiyà, k woh engaged ho k bhi mujh mei interested hai?

Eshaan: Dil par zor hota toh bhi apni feelings ko control kar layta. I know k Preeti k liey us k dil mei kiyà hai, us nay us say pyar toh kiyà hai par ek dost ki tarha kiyà hai hamesha, par Preeti nay dosti say barh k chaha hai usay. Or mei chahta hun k Preeti khush rhy bus.

HM: agar ap pihu ki Khushi chahtay hain toh please ap Anubhav ko samjhain gay k kisi say commitment k bad dosri ladki k baray mei bhi sochna pap hai. Isi mei meri pihu or Anubhav ki Khushi hai.

Eshaan (pov): mei khud ko toh samjha na paa rha hun Anu ko kiyà samjhaun mei. Preeti say hum kuch nahi keh saktay warna woh hurt hogi. Aye uppar walay tum nay meri or Anu ki qismat aaisi kyun likhi hai. K hum jisay chahain usay paq nahi saktay. Jis k khawhish hai us k dil mei hum kahen nahi hain.
Haseena k dil mei bhi Anubhav k liay kuch feelings nahi hai yeh toh Jan gaya hun mei.
Hamesha say meri or Anu ki choices ek jaisi rahi hain or aaj bhi yahi ho rha hai. Par dosti k liay sab kuch qurban hai.

HM; ap Kahan kho gay hain?

Eshaan: kahen nahi lo hum pohnch gay. Haseena sambhal k floor uneven hai gir mat Jana.

HM: ji mei dhayan rakhun gi.

She puts her one feet out but the floor was rough she stumbles but eshaan catches her and prevent from fall. Other side Anubhav is seeing all this he runs to her and takes her hand in his.

AS: haseena are you alright? You are not hurt?

HM: no no I am alright.
( Gently removes her hand from his grips )

AS: eshaan dekhna chaheay tha na tumhain wahan aagay park kartay car jab pata tha k yahan yeh sab hai toh.

Eshaan: Anu mei nay haseena say Kaha tha dhayan say utray.

AS: ha par phir bhi.

HM: Anubhav mei theek hun eshaan ki koi ghalti nahi hai is mei. Unhon nay Kaha tha mujh say par mera hi dhayan nahi tha

AS: it's ok aainda khayal rakhna. Aandar Chalo. Balkay mera hath pakar lo aaisa na ho k phir say girnay Lago.

HM: I will manage Anubhav.

Anubhav ease the distance between them and says

AS: chup chap hath pakar lo aaisa na ho k mei tumhain utha k andar lay jaun.

She silently holds his hand and go inside.

Anubhav's mother:

Wahan bhi sab wait kar rhy hain.

AS: ha mummy bus aa gaya.

And the function of haldi begins.
All ladies are gathered around him and applying haldi on his face, haseena quietly stand at the corner and waiting for the ceremony to end. But his eyes only fixed on her seems he is not interested in all this. Eshaan noticed it. Eshaan got a chance finding him alone, he holds his hand and take him at the corner.

Eshaan: yeh sab Kiya hai Anu.

His sudden question takes him by surprise, he looks at her with puzzled eyes and unable to give him any answer.

Eshaan: tum say mei kuch pooch rha hun Anubhav. I want answer.

AS: kuch nahi hai mere or haseena k beech.

Saying this, he starts to look away from him.

Eshaan: mujhe deekh k jawab do Anu. Iska matlab hai haseena jhoot bol rhi hai k tum us say flirt kar rhy ho. Pata tha woh aaisi hi hai mujhe uski batoon par vishwas Karna hi nahi chaheay tha.
