PART 2 :
Daksh holds aku; Sonakshi stares wide eyed but does nothin to help.
Daksh lifts aku and takes her to the front room sofa;
Pandemonium in P-zoo : Ayi nd Kaki go hyper, Rohini watches all this with her couldn-care-less, bored expression. Sanket nd Baba 2 rush over.
Amidst all this, Daksh's eyes seek out Naina, who's standing by herself on the stairs, anxious but unable to decide whether the inmates of P-zoo would boot her out or not if she tried to help...But then she senses his despair and hurries down.
Naina gets water, but sprinkling it doesnt revive aku. Daksh looks to her again, and she silently reassures him. Baba is somewhat calm, and suggests she might be weak. The powers that be decid 2 take Aku 2 d doc.
Daksh's car is jammed with Sanket in the front, Kaki with aku [ still out ] in the back, nd psycho forcing herself in too [ fake sympathy ]. Ayi has to stay back to take care f Rohini the invalid. Naina who's standing at the bottom-most step is totali ignored by the females...
Daksh turns around once more before getting in, and their eyes clash. There is worry in hers for aku; there is strength for him, but the pain in them...The breath leaves him. He knows something is off, something other than what he had surmised earlier...He begins to raise his hand as if to reach out, cos he knows in his gut that she needs him...Ayi nudges him towards the car door but his eyes are still locked onto Naina's; she nods, letting him know its alright, urging him to go on. Kaki calls Daksh from within and he's forced into the driver's seat, still dazed. The car starts, Ayi watches them drive off and turns. Naina is staring after the car, long gone, and with it her heart...
Ayi gives her one long look; there is nothing in Naina's eyes now; they are left curiously blank, for it was her soul that had just been bundled into the car and sent off...
A tear rolls down, and she lets it be. Ayi walks in, oblivious to that one drop of blood, where she had given all her heart to the copious tears of a heartless play-act a mere few minutes ago...
Naina stands there on the threshold, completely lost. She has become the outsider again...
[ hospital ]
Aku is on drips; Doc has deemed her week due to exertion nd emotional stress. Kaki s at the bedside, Daksh has been talking to the doc and is worried. psycho is hovering about, wondering which card next to play cos the last one was just torn up by Aku. Sanket is out in the corridor answering a call.
Sanket : [on the phone] Wo theek hai, bas Dr ne kaha he ki thodi kamzor he abhi...Theek he Naina.
At the mention of Naina's name, two heads turn his way : Daksh obv, and psycho.
Daksh is perplexed and pulls out his phone; No misd calls, no msgs from her. He looks up again.
Psycho has understood more than he has, and she stands there with a half smile; Daksh is dialling Naina...
