B: haan di!


They sleep……


They go off to sleep!


After sometime……..


Bhumi is unable to sleep……firstly because of hunger…..and secondly because of the reason that she was missing her room…….and she wanted her husband


She looks at her two sisters


They both were sleeping…….


B: inhe apne pati ke paas jaane ki jaroorat mehsoos nahi hoti……


Looks at them


B: nahi bhuk lagti…..najane arjun kya kar raha hoga……kya kar raha hoga….so chukka hoga aaram se…..mujhe bhi inke tarah apni pati ki kami nahi mehsoos honi chahiye………nahi


She looks at her sisters………


B: mujhe to arjun ki bahut yaad aa rahi…..hai…..arjun ko bhi yaad aa rahi hogi meri………


Bhumi again looks at her two sisters…….


B: inhe…..kitne aaram se so rahe hain…….arjun ko bhi meri fikr nahi….


She decides not to disturb her sisters…….and she goes to kitchen slowly…….


Meanwhile arjun too wasn't able to sleep


A: kya bhavri sach main 5-6 dno ke liye…..chali jaayegi to main kaise reh paaoonga……..hmm


He is confused


A: mujhe to neend nahi aa rahi…..bhavri so gayi hogi…..nahi use bhi mere bina neend nahi aayegi……kal raat bhi mushkil se neend aayi thi…..aaj bhavri aayegi mere paas……(thinks about bhumi…..hmm)


He frowns


A: nahi uski do behene haina use bhadkane ke liye


He wonders


A: mere bhai so gaye honge! Unhe nahi mehsoos hoti apni patni ki kami!


He get up and comes out of the room


Bhumi comes to the kitchen……


She opens the fridge…….


She sees that some food was kept there…….


B: itne se bhuk mit jaayegi…….nahi yahan to bahut kam hai……


Suddenly a hand comes……..


It holds her waist tightly……


Bhumi is startled…..


A: bhavri main hoon


B: arjun….


A: hungry!


B: nahi….


A: bhavri……..(makes her look him)


B: (removes hand from her face) tumhe kya bhuk lage to lage…..tum jaakar so jaao

Mv: u should not……….hmm……….


Mansvi was cryng a bit


Suraj holds her face a bit slowly


Su:



Hontho ki juban ye ansoo kehete hain
            Jo chup rete hai fir bhi behete hain
Aur in aasuon ki kismat to dekhiye
             Ye unke liye behte hain jo in ankhon mein rehte hain


MAnsvi looks silently………


Mv: suraj


Su: mansvi I should not have hurted you hmm


He hugs her…….she cries a bit……..
