Music-Koi judaa na ho, Kisi se kabhi, Koi baaki na ho, Baatein ankahin)

Mallika sat still as Sumedh half unzipped. He saw belt marks on her back. He couldnt bear it. He strongly closed his eye. Mallika saw it through mirror in front of her.

(Jise chahe yeh dil Woh ruthe agar
Tu manale use jhoota sahi Jhoota hi sahi Mere liye toh ajao na)

Sumedh opened his eyes and eyes were full of tears. He tried to wiped them off using his shirt.

(Jaise savan phir se aate hai Tum bhi aao na Jaise badal ghir ke aate hai Tum bhi aao)

Sumedh slowly applied cream on her wounds. She straightened her back out of pain.
Sumedh:
Dard ho raha hai?
Mallika:
Hmm...thoda..
Sumedh:
Bass thoda aur seh lo...

(Ja rahi hoon main teri hoke Shikve saare khoke Sang le chali hoon beetan)

Mallika remembered how Sumedh always supported her when she was scared. Sumedh remembered how she had hugged him when she was scared.

(Aadatein yeh thi joh meri Ho gayi hai saari teri
Kaise tu kahega khudko tanha)

Sumedh told her to turn towards him. She did as said. He applied cream on marks on her hand.
Sumedh:
Kahin aur hai nishaan?
Mallika:
Nahi...
Sumedh saw a mark on her shoulder. He knew she was lying.

(Iss baar jab jaoge tum Mujhe sang le jao na)

Sumedh tried sliding her sleeve aside. Mallika stopped him.
Mallika:
Nahi hai marks....hogaya..
Sumedh:
Jhoot bohot bura bolti ho tum.
Mallika:
Sum....edh...
She said helplessly. Sumedh slided her sleeves aside. He saw marks on her chest. He tried controlling his tears. Mallika was noticing his every emotion

(Jaise laherein laut aati hai Tum bhi aao na Jaise ghadiyan rook jaati hai Ruk jao na)

Mallika:
Nahi kar paoge Sumedh. So jao.
Sumedh looked up at her and slowly applied cream. His tears pierced her heart same as her wound did to his heart.
