After being in each others' senses, they finally sit beside each other holding hands. They want to the touch, they need it. Holding hands is how their love speaks. They look at each other. "Sorry" they say in unison and then smile. HM kisses KS's forehead.

HM: Chaliye ab fresh ho jaiye, hum dekhte hai nashte me kya bana hai.

HM helps KS go to the washroom and waits outside. She comes outside.

KS: Hum 3 din se nahaye nahi hai

She looks helpless.

HM: Hum help kr de?

KS looks at her.

HM: Nahi matlab jo bhi help aapko chahiye hum kr denge.

KS: Ji aap bas jakhm pr kuch plastic laga dijiye baki hum kr lenge.

HM nods and goes to her cupboard and brings a few plastic wraps. She makes KS sit on the bed and very carefully covers the wound so that water won't get to it. But before that she asks KS to remove her pant. KS tries but fails as she can't stand on her own. HM makes her wear bathrobe and then asks for her permission,

HM: Hum help kare? Carefully krenge, koi takleef nahi hone denge.

KS nods. KS is wearing sweatpants so it is easy to remove. HM removes her pant without making the slightest contact to her skin. KS is looking at her, she smiles. She loves how HM understands her comfort. When HM was getting up KS pulls her face and kisses on her cheeks deeply. HM startles but smiles.

HM: Chalein?

She offers her hand and KS takes it. HM had already put a stool to sit on in the bathroom. She makes KS sit on it and hands her the handheld shower, sets its temp. She puts all the necessary things like shower gel, face wash etc near her.

HM: Door lock mat kijiye. Hum bahar hi khade hai. Kuch bhi jaroorat ho to pukar lena.

She stands outside. KS takes shower and tries to get up, she grabs the bathrobe and with difficulty puts around her. But when she tries to walk she almost falls,

KS: Hasu...

HM hurridly opens the door and sees that KS is hanging there with the help of her hand and stool. She goes near her and makes her stand and hugs her.

HM: Aap thik hai? Hume bahar nahi jana chahiye tha. I am sorry.

KS is embarrassed. She feels ashamed that she has to take someone's help for even standing straight. And HM has to see her like this. She doesn't say anything. HM ties knot of her bathrobe with worried face and before KS could understand anything she lifts her up in her arms and goes to bedroom. She makes her sit on the bed, takes a towel and dries her hair. She brings a pair of clothes and without looking at her, carefully helps her putting them on. After they are done HM looks at KS, she looks tired. HM cups her face and looks into her eyes,

HM: aap thik hai?

KS just nods.

HM sits beside her.

HM: Aapka khayal rakhna hi to kam hai humara. aur agar aapko humse help lene me hichkichahat ho to humara pyar kam pad raha hai. Maf kijiye hume.

KS: Nahi aisa nahi hai.

HM: To dekhiye humari taraf.

KS looks at her, there are tears in her eyes.

KS: Hume adat nahi hai kisise madad lene ki. Kuch bhi ho jaye hum khud hi krte hai sab. Pata nahi is baar kyun nahi ho raha hai.

HM: kyunki aapka dil chahta hai ki koi aapki chinta kare. aapko pamper kare. aapke aaspas rahe. Lekin dimag is baat ko man nahi raha hai. Hume pata hai aap kr sakte hai, kya phir bhi hum kr sakte hai?
