Mallika:

Sumedh:
Oh kya?
Mallika:
Umm...tum shayad pata nahi kaise react karoge....mere intention pure hai aur main bass tumhare liye ye kar rahi hu...
Sumedh:
Aisa kya hai Mallika?

Mallika looks in her phone and video calls and puts the phone in Sumedh's hand, the call starts
Sumedh 's confused face turns a bit emotional. He looks at Mallika and then at the phone

Sumedh:

Nisha:

Sumedh:

Nisha:

He looks at Mallika

He had a thank you in his eyes.

Sumedh:

Nisha:

They cut the call. He was in tears. He turned to Mallika. He hugged her immediately

Sumedh:

Mallika:

They break the hug, smile and leave to sleep.

Sumedh:

Mallika:

Sumedh:
Ok good night.
Mallika:
Good night. And happy birthday
Sumedh:
Yeah yeah! Thanksss!

In 5 mins Sumedh comes out to drink water and sees Mallika asleep, She didn't even change her clothes.

Sumedh:
Thaak gai hogi..kal 6 am flight hai waise bhi...

He sleeps, wakes up at 6.30

Sumedh:
6.30! Mallika chali gai hogi...bye bhi nahi bola usse maine...whatever...ab jo gai hai...phir kabhi nahi aayegi...Goodbye Mallika. Ab uthne ka kya fayda...so jao!

He sleeps again...wakes up at 8. Goes in hall and sees Mallika still sleeping.

Sumedh:
Ye gai nahi?

Tries to wake her up and she doesn't respond.

Sumedh:
Mallika...utho...tumhari flight miss hogai! Utho! Kumbhakaran ki biwi! Utho! Nahi...biwi toh meri hai...Shit! Meri kaise hai? Shut up Sumedh! Mallika utho!!

She doesnt move a bit. Now he grows serious. He patted her cheek and moved her

Sumedh:
Mallika...Mallika utho. Utho! Oh god! Devesh Zalak!! Get up! Get out! I mean...come out!
Devesh:
Ayaa!!
Zalak:
Main bhi
Sumedh:
Zalak dont forget to wear clothes before u come out! Jaldi aao! Call the doc! Get water!

Devesh gets water. Sumedh throws that on Mallika's face..no response.

Sumedh shakes her body, he gets real panic now! He holds her arms and straights her body.

Sumedh:
Mallika hosh mein aao! Zalak, upper ke floor par doc rehta hai, usse bulao.

Sumedh picks her up in his arms and makes her lay down on his bed. Still patting her face.

Sumedh:
Malliak! Fucking get up! Utho! Kya hua hai, kya kiya hai tumne nahi samajh aa raha mujhe! Samjhao mujhe!
Doc:
Mr Mudgalkar, Pls get aside i need to check her.
Sumedh:
Oh u are here! Thank you.

Doc checks her.

Doc:
Hmm...this could have been a serious case if one more pill would have been taken...
Sumedh:
Pill?
Doc:
You girlfriend was taking sleeping pills wasnt she?
Sumedh:
What? Idk...
Zalak:
She is just a frnd.
Doc:
This frnd of yours has been taking sleeping pills since past 6-7 months.
Sumedh:
Why? Any major issue or just sleep issue?
Doc:
Yesterday she took a heavy dose which she usually doesnt it seems like...which means she was emotionally and mentally at bad state....and in general if we dont get enough sleep...it means we are having issues in our lives. Mr Mudgalkar even u...when u came here from India...u had sleeping problems and I did give u a dose of mild pills...
Sumedh:
Yes....how many pills has she taken?
Doc:
5 maybe...if she would have consumed more....it would...it would have been a suicide case.
Devesh:
What! This is serious. Kab hosh aayega? I mean...when will she regain conscious.
Doc:
In...about 2 hrs.
Zalak:
Thank you.

Sumedh was silent. He just sat beside Mallika....doing nothing. He held her hand. He was looking at her with tears in his eyes. And remembering their recent fight

In mind
Voice flash back

Sumedh:
Shuttt uppppp!!! Enough!

Miss Mallika Singh! Tum meri koi nahi ho samjhi tum! Meri life mein interfere karna band karo!
Mallika:
Gaa...galat? Kya galat? Kya karoge? Bolo..bolo na... ch...cheeze fekk rahe ho...shaitaan ki tarah chilla rahe ho...apni baato se torture kar rahe ho...ab jyaada se jyaada kya karoge? Haat....haath uthaoge? Jaan le loge? Uthalo...le lo jaan bhi...Apni baato se toh maar ki rahe ho na...

Main toh ab bhi tumse darr rahi hu Sumedh!

Tum kaise samjhoge pyaar ko?
Tumne kabhi pyaar kiya hi nahi!!
Sumedh:
Mallika! Maine kiya hai pyaar!

Remembered the slap too!

He closed his eyes tight in regret.
In sometime she woke up.

Mallika:
Aah.
Sumedh:
