Scene 2:
Viren had just walked back into the house and was still thinking about what had almost happened between him and Nivi before he left in the morning! He was annoyed with himself because all day he had tried so many things to get rid of the thought but it was still there, eating away at him and making him weak! Part of his mind was actually trying to think of another way to get close to Nivi again but he pushed it away and tried to get on with where he was going.
He was tired after all day and needed a shower so he went into his room, keeping an eye out for Nivi. He was making sure she wasn't there but then was stupidly disappointed when she wasn't around. Angry at himself, he kicked off his trainers so they went flying and his purple jacket went the same way. After a few moments, the now usual guilt kicked in and he bent down to pick up the jacket. Feeling rebellious he thought he'd leave the shoes as maybe Nivi would trip over them or something...he smirked at the thought and went into the bathroom for his shower.
Nivi came into the bedroom a little later and immediately was disappointed to see Viren wasn't there. Then she noticed his shoes on either side of the room and smiled to herself 'kaisi ajab tareeka hai Viren ka mujhe bata ne ke liye ke woh ghar agaya hai!' she thought! Still smiling, she picked up the purple converse and put them away neatly. Just then she turned towards the door and smacked right into Viren who was rushing in from his shower and was still wet with no shirt on!
Viren was annoyed again. Lost in his thoughts of Nivi, he'd forgotten his towel AND a clean top! 'yeh ladki mujhe poora ka poora pagal bana de gi!' he thought in anger. He rushed back into the room and went straight to towards the wardrobe and ran smack bang into Nivi who was just turning round from doing something by the wardrobe. Nivi moved away from him slightly looking stunned. He could see some water off his hair had spilled onto her cheeks and his hands were itching to wipe them away, they were actually coming up of their own accord but he forced them to stop. Instead he put his hands on her shoulders and angrily said 'kya kar rahi ho tum? Baar baar meri saamne kyu aajati ho?! Mujhe akela kyu nahi chod de thi?!' His expression was pained, he didn't want to say these things but they burst out of him. In his head he was thinking that every time he saw her, he got a little weaker in his aim so he needed to make her stay away. His hands tightened on her shoulders at his thoughts and he heard Nivi make a small sound of pain. He felt that same sharp pain in his heart again at the thought that he'd hurt her and feeling extremely guilty he lightly rubbed her shoulders where he had hurt her and then let her go.
Nivi didn't know where to look! She could feel drops of water from Viren on her face but couldn't look away from him long anought to wipe them away. She wondered what he would do if she reached up and put her arms around his wet body...before she could do anything though, she felt his hands on her shoulders and heard Viren's words. She felt hurt and looked at him wordlessly, then she looked into his eyes and saw how much it was hurting him to say these things. From the pained look in his eyes, she felt like maybe she was finally getting through to him so simply looked at him until he finished speaking. She was about to answer when she felt Viren's hands tighten on her shoulders and involuntarily made a sound of pain. She saw the concern in his eyes at her sound and it warmed her heart to see it. She felt him rub her shoulders and again she felt the electric shocks through her body at his touch. When he let go of her she looked at him challengingly and said 'yeh mera bhi kamra hai Viren, yaad hai tumne mujhe pehle din kaha tha ke yeh kamra ab mera hai....aur tum bhi?' She said the last bit shyly moving closer to him, looking for his reaction.
Viren couldn't believe the words coming out of Nivi's mouth and the way she was coming closer to him, he took a step back but there was a part of him that was singing at the thought of Nivi thinking of him as hers...he pushed that part down hard and said 'mujhe koi farak nahi parta ke tum mujhe apni samaj thi ho ya nahi, main toh sirf apne kapde doondh raha tha!'
With a shock Nivi realised Viren was still only half dressed and blindly turned and gave him a white top from the wardrobe. Viren ignored this and leaned around her to pick out a red top. As he did so, more water from his hair fell on her face and he saw her blink a few times. They stood like this for a while simply looking at each other with Viren fighting himself from touching her wet face. Eventually he gave in and brushed a single drop from her soft cheeks and looked at her wonderingly. Nivi felt the shocks run through her again at his touch and smiled shyly but also knowingly as she knew Viren couldn't help himself from touching her. This angered Viren enough to move away and pull on his top. He was still wet but didn't care, he jumped onto his stupid sofa and hid under his blanket knowing he would dream about Nivi drenched in water all night...
Nivi smiled as she watched Viren, thinking how sweet and innocent her jaan truly was, if only he would just be honest with himself...she wiped off the water and went to get ready for bed.
