Evening. Shiv and Anandi's room in Circuit House.
A: Shiv, aapko thoda khayal rakhna chahiye tha na! Dard ho raha hai..?
Shiv cut his hand during the kite fight against Jagya.. Ah, the price of victory!
S: Bahut dard ho raha hai... Ouch!
A: Shh.. Ab dawai toh lagaani hi padegi na.. 😕
Shiv's face is contorted in pain.. As if she were dousing him in acid! "My big muscled baby husband!" she thinks.
A: Dekhiye, Lal Singh bhi aaye hai. Unhein dikha dete hai..
S: (eyes wide) Nahi nahi! Mujhe injection nahi chahiye!
A: Arre, injection ki baat kisne ki? Main toh bas-
S: Nahi! (making a puppy face) Lal Singh toh bilkul jallad hai! Humesha injection ki hi baat karta hai.
Anandi smiles and brushes Shiv's hair with her fingers.
A: Aap toh kitne bahadur hai na.. Kyu darr rahe hai? Agar infection ho gaya toh aur pareshani hogi..
S: (pouting) Anandi..
A: Please Shiv..
J: Agar Lal Singh se darr lag raha hai toh main kar du tumhara ilaaj? 😊
Jagya is at the door. He heard the last part of their conversation. "I don't know if she realizes it or not, but I think Anandi is in love with Shiv! I can see it in her eyes!" surmises Jagya. "That's good, they both deserve each other."
S: Oh Jagdish, aap! Aaiye na! Main darta nahi hu.. Woh toh bas..
J: (smiling) Injection se darna toh banta hai!
S: Aap mera mazaak uda rahe hai.. Haha.. Well, bhooliye mat, aapki patang kaatne mein hi mera yeh haal hua hai!
J: (laughs) Yeh bhoolna toh bahut mushkil hoga! Sanchi ji ne ab tak toh saare gaon ko bata diya hoga..!
Both laugh.
S: Yeh Sanchi bhi na!
All this while Jagya had been treating Shiv's hand. Oblivious to this, both talk about kite flying techniques and sort of forget that Anandi is in the room!
J: Dekhiye! Patti bandh gayi! Dard bhi nahi hua!
S: (surprised) Wow! Thanks! 👏
Jagya pats him on the back and leaves. Shiv continues to smiles at his retreating figure. A bemused Anandi stands in front of Shiv.
