NEXT DAY
Guddan has slept peacefully after so many days, in the embrace of her two mothers who consider guddan as their own daughter.
A beautiful and contented smile is present on her face which was glowing due to early sun rays.
She stir in her sleep and slowly gets up, rubbing her eyes to get out from her sleepy state.
She looks beside her and find anju and renuka. She smiles at them and kisses their forehead and gets up to go washroom.

She comes out after freshen up and in her jogging outfit.
Before these recent events, she used to jog in her back garden.
After the emotional turmoil of so many days, overwhelming rollercoaster of the emotions, today she woke up this early. But she looks freshed, no worry, no sadness, only contentment is present in her heart and eyes. There is slight emptiness still present but she is sure that, that will also eventually go away with time and she is ready to give them and herself that time.

And with this new found warmness and happiness, she goes to her back garden but halts in her track.

There is akshat only in vest and lowers running around the garden with a water bottle in his hand, slight sweat is dripping from his forehead, and having earplugs on.

He is so engrossed in his running that he didn't notice the presence of guddan who is admiring him.

Guddan is so lost in him, in his hand's vein which she didn't notice bcoz he was wearing full length shirt, but this time, he is only in his vest so guddan can admire his tone shaped chest, every muscle of his hand, prominent veins popping from his hand. Slight beard on his face making him look more mature and handsome.

When guddan was busy admiring him, akshat notice her and stop in his track and smiles when he realize that guddan is admiring him but in her trance, guddan doesn't realize that akshat is also looking at her and now coming towards her.

When he is some steps close to her, she comes out from her trance and looks away flustered.
How much she say that now she doesn't have feelings for him but her eyes convey every emotion of her heart and now akshat is sure that guddan still loves him but now just afraid to accept him again. So he promised himself right this instant that he will make himself worthy enough of guddan's trust and love.

They both are looking at each other now. Guddan is hesitating to start any conversation bcoz of her earlier stunt and that too got noticed by akshat.
Akshat notice her discomfort and tries to ease her.

Akshat:- hey. Good morning.

Guddan sighs in relief when akshat didn't tease her and akshat smile looking at her. He didn't tease her bcoz he doesn't have any right to do that now. When he will gain some of her trust again, then he can flirt with her - right?

Guddan:- hey, morning.

They are again surrounded by silence which is becoming awkward for them so this time guddan says.
Guddan:- didn't take you for an early person.

Akshat lightly laughs and says.
Akshat:- feeling is mutual Ms. Gupta.

Guddan:- ohh plz.

Akshat:- yaa oh plz. Me pehle bhi jaldi hi uthta tha. Tum hi thi jo 9 - 9 bje uthti thi. Me to yhi sochta tha ki school aur clg ke time pr tum jaldi kaise uth jati thi.

Guddan makes a 'o' shape mouth at his remark. She wants to give a reply to him but couldn't form a word bcoz after all he is right. So she shrug her shoulders and move away.
