Anokhi- Shaurya ek sawal tha. Ghar par bola toh unka reaction kya tha?
Shaurya- Anokhi how could I say without your consent? That wasn't the right time to take consent. I just said you were sick and I would explain latter. They thank god didn't question me much. Do you want to tell?
Anokhi- No. Hum dono isse Kitna mushkil se deal kar rhe hai. Now telling them nhi hoga mujhse. Upar se unka reaction kya hoga? I know they changed but itne change hui honge ki this won't make them uncomfortable? I don't think so.
Shaurya- Never expressed it explicitly but I am sure they know we are intimate.
Anokhi- But no one is going to be ok with the consequences. No one thinks about the need to abort when they are having sex if they use a protection. So I am sure your family is going to be shocked.
Shaurya- Hmm. We won't say then. I agree with you. So this thing it's ours. It's our secret. Apart from Aisha who knows.
Anokhi- Yes.
Shaurya- What about Ahir, Reema? Reema is your best friend. Your strongest pillar of support. Do you want her to know?
Anokhi- Haven't thought of that.
Shaurya- I know. But you can share with anyone. Including apna other best friend chaiwala. You can share with whomever you want. I am not going to stop you from doing that or get angry.
Anokhi- You too. But to be honest I don't know what to say, words fail. How to express kuch samjh nhi aa rha. You are with me in this. So you just know how I feel. I don't have to say anything.
Shaurya- Same here. But I guess with time we may want to talk this out with friends. Family is something we best avoid telling all of this to. You can but as you said you fear judgement so do I. But I know maa and dad won't judge.
Anokhi- True. By the way kitne din yahan rahenge. It's been more than a week of you being away from Siac. You have to go back.
Shaurya- But only after you are cleared for travel. And you are staying with me.
Anokhi- On what pretext?
Shaurya- You don't need a pretext to stay with me. No way. Iss halat mein I will not send you off to your home where no one even knows what you are going through.
Anokhi- What are we going to say at your home?
Shaurya- That you will just stay with me because I want to be around you.
Anokhi gets cleared for travel. They leave and when they reach Chandigarh they are surprised to find entire Sabbarwaal clan waiting.
Aastha- Anokhi ab kaisi ho?
Anokhi starts to cry.
Aastha- Arre kya hua? Kya hua? Batao ab. Koi takleef hai? Shaurya!
Shaurya- Maa bohot din aap se mil rhi hai upar se beemar thi toh.
Aastha- Agar itni yaad aa rhi thi toh bula lena chahiye tha. Humne Shaurya se kahan bhi tha. Anokhi! dekho meri taraf. Batao kya problem hai? Arre. Shaurya yeh aise kyu ro rhi hai.
Shaurya- Anokhi! Hey! Arre idhar aao.
He was trying to separate Anokhi from Aastha so that he could console her in the ear. Anokhi could not be separated.
Aastha- Shaurya isse kya hua hai?
Shaurya- Maa beemar thi toh exams theekh se nhi ho paye. Isliye shayd.
Aastha- Arre koi baat nhi. Tumne apna best dia bas. Aise rote nhi. Koi baat nhi. Ab ghar aayi ho yeh sab mat socho.
Anokhi stops crying but she was hiding her face out of embarrassment in Shaurya's arms.
Shaurya- Mein isko lata hoon. Chaliye aap log.
Anokhi was quiet throughout. Anokhi just rushed to Shaurya's room as soon as she entered the mansion. The Sabbarwaals knew something was very seriously wrong.
Shaurya- Bas woh exams ko lekar. Thodasa. Mein uske paas jata hoon. Usse samjha dunga.
The Sabbarwaal's want to give space to the couple but they wonder what happened. At dinner Anokhi and Shaurya walk down. Everyone pretends that all is good and try to make usual banter. Anokhi tries to get into the banter and so does Shaurya. Somehow dinner is over. As Anokhi tries to walk back she starts to feel dizzy. Shaurya had just gone to put his plate in the sink. Devi notices and rushes towards Anokhi.
Devi- Arre Anokhi. Anokhi kya hua? Chakar aa rha hai? Aa jao baitho yahan.
She makes her sit on the stairs.
Devi- Tum abhi bhi weak ho bohot. Arre mein room mein khana deti naa. Ek baar keh toh deti.
Shaurya- Anokhi! Hey! Chalo upar chalte hai.
He lifts her and takes her. Devi enters their room.
Devi- Anokhi kaisi hai ab Shaurya? Uske liye kuch lekar aaon?
Shaurya- Badi maa bas thoda glucose.
Devi- Theekh hai.
Anokhi had the glucose and slept.
Devi- Shaurya tumhara niji mamla hai but Anokhi ko kya hua hai? Woh kab theekh hogi. Tum ek hafte se uske paas the. Abhi bhi beemar lag rhi hai.
Shaurya- Maa weakness hai abhi usse. Uske woh dates hai naa.
Devi- Usse koi gynecological problem hai? Jo tum discuss nhi karna chahte?
Shaurya- Badi maa koi permanent problem nhi hai usse. Aur agar hoti toh yeh mat sochiye ki mera pyaar badlega.
Devi- Woh matlab nhi tha mera. Hum stressed hai bas. Itne din ho gye hai.
Shaurya- Mein uska khayal rakh rha hoon. Anokhi ke same yeh sab baat mat kariye. Woh bohot weak hai filhaal.
Devi- Beta tum galat samjh rhe ho.
Shaurya- Kyu naa samjhoon? Anokhi mujhpe trust karti hai aur usko inn cheezon se protect karna hai mujhe.
Anokhi starts wriggling in pain. She was having a cramp.
Shaurya- Jaan. Ye lo tablet. Chalo mooh kholo.
He places the tablet in her mouth.
Anokhi- Dard ho rha hai.
Shaurya- I know jaan. But theekh jo jayega. Tablet liya hai naa. It will be ok. Mein yhi hoon.
Shaurya- Badi maa baad mein baat kare?
Devi- Haan.
Just as she was about to leave, she walks towards Anokhi and pats her forehead.
Devi- Haan tumhari privacy ko respect karti hoon but I need you to know, that whatever it is mein tumhe accept karti hoon. There is nothing jo mujhe pata chalega aur mein tumhe door kar dungi apne aap se.
Anokhi- Aap nhi janti. Mein nhi bata sakti.
Devi- Koi baat nhi. But iska matlab yeh nhi ki tum apni takleef mere sath share nhi kar sakti. Mein hoon yhi. Beta kuch bhi ho kehna.
