When the screams are silenced , wounds are healed , the battle within ends the name of it Peace .

As the evening showers hit Bengaluru, Manohar admires it's view .

Sanidhi - Didn't think you were a pluviophile
(handing him a cup of  coffee ).

Manohar - Didn't think I was either but of  lately I'm surprising myself .

Sanidhi - Ohoo .

Manohar - you've changed me a lot you know .

Sanidhi - Ay chi the grumpy you was better .

Manohar - You woke the grizzly bear .

Sanidhi - Eww ...

Manohar - OK I'm done for now , thanks for the coffee.

Sanidhi - No problemo.

Sanidhi - But really it feels good to see you this way . 

Manohar - I feel calm after ages .

Sanidhi - I'm happy for you glad I could help you .

Manohar - You did more then help, but tell me one thing ?

Sanidhi - Yeah go on .

Manohar - You never really came for the money did you ?

Sanidhi - Why this thought now?

Manohar - You could've gone anywhere but why here why did you come after me ?

Sanidhi - Before i answer tell me this you never fell into the lake by  accident did you?

Manohar ( with a stunned look ) - How did you ....

Sanidhi - Hmm when I pulled you off the lake your first words were Don't save me I'm not worth saving.

Manohar - So that was real .

Sanidhi holds Manohar's hand firmly .

Sanidhi - Those words echoed in my head and then I realised I had your wallet with me and I didn't have the heart to leave you like that , I'm sorry but i did what I felt was right .

Manohar - Don't be sorry , but I hope I didn't meet you that way .

Sanidhi - Manohar I won't question your choice , but you're a good man and the world needs your energy don't beat yourself up .

Manohar - Thanks I'm really grateful for you, I'm glad our paths crossed .

Sanidhi - OK now cheer up .

Manohar - Yeah also can we go on a trip ? Next month would be great .

Sanidhi - I don't think I'll be there for that long .

Manohar - What do you mean ?

Sanidhi - Hmm you're getting better now and don't need my help anymore it's time I go ahead .

Manohar - Oh yeah , hmm but sometime but we got a do it deal ?

Sanidhi - Deal ,,,

Sanidhi takes the cup from Manohar's hand and walks back to the kitchen .

Manohar staring at the window again.

Manohar - You just said Cheer up .
