She sits up with her disheveled hair and badlyyy aching head
He puts the glass in her hand, sits next to her and makes her drink
s- Piyo
k-Hmm
She looks at him then again lowers her eyelashes
k-Thanks
Sujal just nods- hmm
Sab kuch pila kar he gets up
She gets up..Sujal ke side se
k-I should go
s- No stay rest..main tumahri friend ko keh deta hoon ki tum yahi ho ab..
k-Nahi..emm..I.Ii am fine [She is red with embarrassment]
s- Rest
He say patting her shoulder and backing her to bed gently
k-I'll go...thanks for everything and sorry
s- It was nothing.Thodi der aur lete jao..par agar tumhe jaana hai to theek hai... main tayar ho kar aata hoon..then I'll drop you
k-No..I..I'll manage...I'll take a cab
s- Kashish sit back relax.. tumhari tabiyat warna kharab ho jaegi. I'll drop you
k-Nahi..I can take care of myself...I am fine
Sujal feels she is hesitant and embarrassed for the first time ever
She gives him a polite smile
s- I did not say you can't take care of yourself; I just asking you to take it easy. I guess tumhe kuch zarui kaam hoga
Sujal jaata hai and brings Kashish's sandals aur de deta hai usse
k-Thanks
Sujal calls for a taxi to dekhta hai wo number jispar Kashish ne call kiya tha.. it was a unknown number to socha ki puch liya jaye
s- By the way whose no is this?
He says showing her the number
Kashish looks over her shoulder and is horror struck
k-How..how did you..get..this nmber?
s- You used my phone last night to abuse the person this number belongs to
Kashish numb and white as sheet...jaise abhi ro degi...last limit of embarrassment
She claps her hand to her mouth in horror
s-Aisa kiska no. hai?
k-oh God! oh God I am so sorry
s-Sorry?
Her eyes are hazing with tears
k-I am..so..sorry
s-kashish kya hua hai/kiska no hai? Why are you apologizing all of a sudden?
Sujal makes her sit down
s-Talk to me. Batao kya hua hai
k-I am sorry...I...I'll call and apologize..I..Its nothing..I..guess I..should go...don't worry..I'll sort this out
Sujal khada hua hai Kashish ke samne rasta block karke as she is sitting on his bed he is towering high over her
s-You'll sort it out after you answer my question and while we are at it.. why did you get so drunk last night? Did someone force you to drink that much that you felt sick?
k-It's getting late for your office...you are not unemployed like me. You should go to office
s-Don't patronize please its irritating... if you don't want me to be late wont you rather answer quickly than dodge the question?
k-No..I..it's nothing like that...I am sorry to have bothered you. You shouldn't pay heed next time...if it ever happens againn
Sujal crosses his arms around his chest not moving and giving an inch
Kashish looks at him and sighs
k-Stop worrying about me..I am not a baby and you are not my care taker
s-No I am not, I wouldn't have even insisted on interfering this deeply after so much of refusal and resentment from your side but I guess I was just being polite.. I could have called the no. myself. But since you are going such great length to avoid all human concern and help then fine
Sujal phone se no. delete kar deta hai dialled no.s list se
s- Tumhe jo theek lage karo. Agar kisi friend ki zarurat ho to I am there for you.
Sjal chala jata hai kamre ke bahar
k-Wait
s-What?
k-Where are you going?
s-To make my breakfast
k-I'll make it for you
s- No thank you
k-I always do
s- I have been used to it for my whole life and since you are not going to be here anyways...I better stop spoiling myself.. besides..I don't accept charity
Sjal jakar starts making poached eggs for himself
k-If someone asks me to stay I can
s- You have been asked and you have refused. I respect people's decision and don't badger them plus you are not a kid to be ordered
k-When was I asked? And people order those who they feel are close to them
s- Then call it a cultural difference coz we order only kids; adults have calm discussion..and you don't remember me asking you to stay coz you probably don't want to stay
k-Close people have right on each other. But you won't agree; so be it. I guess Italians know better
s-Italians are Italians.. I grew up that way.. if you expect me to change and break my habits overnight...
He shrugs and leaves the sentence hanging
k-Who am I to expect
s- I offered friendship..its yours to accept and refuse..
Kashish ka phone rings. It's her friend. She is getting frantic
k-Hmm...thik hoon...Sujal ke ghar...aa rahi hu...thik hai
Kashish phone rakh deti hai
k-Thank you again..and sorry againn...good bye..have a nice day
Kashish mud jaati hai
s- You don't have to apologize.. bye
Sujal neechte tak Kashish ko chod kar aata hai
Kashish phonchti hai friend ke wahan grim sa chehra banake
Sujal comes in the eving frm office and finds the door of Kashish's place unlocked
But he pretends to not care and ignores.. coz of the way she had been acting lately
Kashish nikallti hai wearing a casual dress
k-Hi
Sujal just nod sat his like a friendly neighbor..opens his door and goes in
k-I am going out...will you come?
But he went in before he could hear
She knocks at his door
He opens
k-I am going out, will you come...with me?
s-Do you need a ride?
k-I want you to come with me
s- Where are you planning to go?
k-just..come no
s-Look if you don't particularly need an escort then I'd rather not go, I had a long day at work
k-I have to get some groceries and..have to meet someone..please..I insist
s- Can't you tell me who you have to meet? I am in mood for wild goose chase
k-Just someone. Come
She drags him
k-Sujal, I am really sorry about my mindless behavior. We are still fiend, aren't we?
She looks at him with a puppy face
s-We are friends when it conveniences you
He has narrowed eye shrewd look
She looks down and retrieves her steps
But he doesn't feel guilty
k-I really wished...you would have come
s- I would come if you really need an escort... I'd rather not just come if it's an ordinary outing as I am tired. Why do you think I was asking you? Apart from that I am no one to force anyone
s-I asked u clearly... and you wouldn't tell...dio le donne! [God women!] Fine I'll come
k-Dio what?
She smiles
k-Thanks
He goes in picks up his coat and keys..mobile and comes back out
s-Where to?
The mall
They get in his car and go to the mall
She checks the watch as they finally reach
She enters a designer showroom. She again checks her watch. She is a bit in sweats
The sales woman was showing her the petite size dress...that was her size
k-No..get me the large size
She again checks the watch
k-Yup...this is nice..what do you think Sujal?
She again wipes her sweat of her forehead
Sujal isn't paying attention enough to notice.. idhar udhar mobile mein...

She tells the sales women
