Cut to: Mayank's home - Much later at night
His Mom has been back from office for quite some time now and was initially happy to not find him home. She was sure he had gone for the dance. Knowing how sincere her son was especially for all academic matters, the project fiasco was bound to upset him. But she had liked Nupur a lot, from just that one time she had met her. And a voice in her heart told her that no matter how much Mayank denied it, he liked her too. She had seen his expressions whenever Nupur came into conversation. The hours ticked away.
It was now almost 11 at night and he was still not home. She couldn't even reach his phone and was just about to get really worried when the door bell rang and a a tired, listless Mayank walked in.
Mom: arey Mayu, kitna dance kiya jo itnaaa thak gaya? (smiles) Waise tune bahut acha kiya jo chala gaya. Der to nahi ho gayi thi na?
Mayank: agar aur der ho jaati na Ma, toh shayad main khud ko kabhi maaf nahi kar paata.
(His Mom senses that something is wrong and he narrates the entire tale of how he had reached late and how the blast had severely injured Nupur. He had wanted to stay back at the hospital but the doctors on duty had noted how drained out he looked and forced him to go home.)
Mom: bhagwan ka shukar hai Mayank ke wo bach toh gayi. Warna tera kya hota?
Mayank: haan Ma. Main toh.. (Even in his tired out state, he doesn't miss out on the twinkle in his Mom's eyes. It is the twinkle he associates with his leg being pulled. Not wanting to accept or deny anything, he fakes a yawn.)
Ma..bahut neend aa rahi hai..main sone ja raha hu. Good night.
Mom: (with a smile) Good night Mayu.
Cut to: Sanjeevani - Morning
It is a new day and has dawned bright and sunny. At the hospital, everyone is praying for a calm and peaceful day. The bomb blast had claimed several lives and the injured ones were in for a bad time. But as the sun's fingers intermingled with a cool breeze, the day seemed to silently promise tranquility. Anjali and Riddhima enter together only to find Rahul and Muskaan arguing over who left the geyser on the previous night. Armaan is busy making romantic gestures to Ridz while keeping a sharp eye on Anjali. Atul has got yet another love letter and is eying Nikhita suspiciously. All is exactly as is on a normal day. How we take such trivial things for granted..but it is the little things of life that make a world of difference. This is exactly what is going on in the minds of Samrat, Mayank and Gunjan who are there to pay Nupur a visit.
Cut to: General Ward - Nupur
She is now very much conscious and seems to be quickly recovering. As she sees the trio enter, her face lights up.
Nupur: Gunjan..Samrat..Mayank!
Gunjan: kaisi ho di? Ab tabiyat kaisi lag rahi hai?
Nupur: arey mujhe kuch ho sakta hai bhala. Bilkul thik hu..tu thik hai na?
Gunjan: haan di. Kal to apne hume dara hi diya tha.
Nupur: haan Gunjan. Wo bomb na..thik mere piche hi phootha! Chal ek baat toh achi hui.
Samrat: wo kya?
Nupur: arey main hamesha sochti thi ke kabhi hospital me hongi aur sab mere liye phool leke aayenge. Khaer tum me se koi phool toh laaya nahi..par phir bhi..maza aata hai na!
Mayank: (angrily, in a loud voice) Haan tumhe toh maza aayega hi na! Pata hai kal mujhpe kya beet rahi thi? Agar tumhe kuch ho jaata toh main..
(Everyone turns to look at him and he realizes he has probably said more than he had intended to reveal.) Mera matlab hai..yeh blast koi mazaak ki baat nahi hai Nupur..kitne log ab nahi rahe pata hai?
(Samrat has a strong intuition when he decides to use it and he can see more into the alleged friendship of Mayank and Nupur. He whispers something into Gunjan's ears and both of them go out of the room, leaving the two alone.)
Nupur: Sorry Mayank. Ab tum mujhse naraaz toh nahi ho na? Main promise karti hu ke ab har project pe khud hi kaam karungi. Tumhe dance ke liye bhi nahi bolungi..
Mayank: acha? Aur jo main itne dino se salsa practice kar raha hu, uska kya hoga?
Nupur: kya?
Mayank (smiles): wo sab bhool jaate hai Nupur. Main bhi hamesha project project karta hu, hai na?
Nupur: nahi Mayank. Galti toh maine ki thi par mujhe uska sache dil se afsos hai. Meri baat maano.
Mayank: main maanta hu..dont worry. Ab main naraaz nahi hu okay?
Nupur: thank u Mayank. Thank you!
Mayank: acha Nupur mujhe kuch zaruri kaam hai, main tumse phir milta hu. Tum jaldi se thik ho jaayo. All the best. (He turns to leave when Nupur calls out his name.)
Kya hua?
Nupur: all the best aise thode hi wish karte hai.
Mayank: toh phir?
(Nupur extends her hand in the air and Mayank flashes his trademark grin.)
Mayank: acha toh aise karte hai.. (He extends his hand too to shake hers..tightly..not wanting to let go..but this time its Nupur who draws back.)
Nupur: thank u, phir se.
Mayank: uh..haan..bye!
