Sujal aur Kashish raat ko dair se ghar pahunchte hai...........Kashish jane ki sari taiyariyaan karke phir so jati hai kyunki subah me Kashish ko panch baje nikalna hota hai........Jab subah hoti hai to Kashish taiyaar hoke jane hi wali hoti hai ki use uski car ki chabiyaan nahi mil rahi hoti hai is liye woh Sujal ki car leke chali jati hai lekin Sujal ke liye ek note chod ke jati hai..........

My dear husband Sujal......

Muje Pune jane ke liye dair ho rahi hai aur muje meri car ki chabiyaan nahi mil rahi hai......is liye main tumhari car leke ja rahi hoon..........tum meri fikar bilkul mat karna lekin tum apna khayal rakhna.......main jaldi hi wapas aa jungi........muje bahot hi miss karna..........I love you........bye.........

Your lovely wify Kashish......

Kashish yeh note sujal ke takiye ke pass rakhkar sujal ke forehead pe kiss karke chali jati hai............Kashish ke jane ke bad Sujal uthta hai aur woh note ko padhta hai.........aur us note ko padhte hi uske chehre pe muskan aa jati hai...........

Sujal: I love you too.........per tumhare bigar ek hafta kaise niklega..........koi baat nahi jab wapas aaogi tab tumse is duri ka badla lunga.........

Sujal yeh kehke taiyaar hoke office ke liye nikal jata hai kyunki aaj uski ek bahot hi important meeting hoti hai jiski waje se Sujal aur Akshat ko bahar jana padta hai...........

Charu: aur tum use sahi man rahe ho.........

Sujal: mera dil kehta hai ki Kashish aisa kuch nahi kar sakti lekin kahi na kahi muje lag raha hai ki Kashish kitni laparwah hai......

Charu: aisa tum keh rahe ho.........woh bhi us kashish ke liye jo tumhari choti si choti khushi uske liye kitni mayne rakhti hai........Woh Kashish jo tumhare liye hi jiti hai........

Sujal: maine abhi tak kuch nahi socha........ek baar Kashish se baat ho jaye to......

Akshat: woh parso aa hi to rahi hai........tab khud hi puch lena ki usne phone kyun nahi kiya.......kisi ki baat sune bina uske khilaf faisla lena buri baat hai........

Sujal: tum thik keh rahe ho........muje Kashish se baat karni chahiye............main uska intzaar karunga..........

is tarah us din bhi raat ho jati hai..........dono ek dusre ko milne ke liye betab ho rahe hai...............
