Manik took Nandini to her ward and she lied down on the bed. He went out and called nurse, she came and re-attached the cannula and went. Nandini took the note and the money and put them back in her bag. Manik came back.

M~suno, (she looked at him) subah aazadi milay gi ye maine keh toh diya lekin akelay mat jaana, okay? (she nodded looking down) You will live in a place that belongs to me

N~no thanks doctor, main nahi chahti aap ka ye ahsaan. Please.

M~(sternly) Nandini, u know u don't have anywhere to go, isliye main help kar raha hoon bas sirf, main koi ahsaan nahi kar raha.

N~so what? Aap ko pata hai toh kya matlab? U will keep reminding me ke main lawaaris hoon?

M~(sighed) mera woh matlab nahi tha Nandini, sorry, (she looked away) okay batao kahan raho gi

N~footpath pe reh loon gi, kisi ke ahsaan ke neeche dabne se toh behtar he hai

M~look, nahi hai koi ahsaan ye

N~nahi aap ko kya zaroorat hai mujhe kaheen aisi jagah rakhne ki jo jagah aap ki hai? I said I don't want to live with someone's company, main logo'n se break chahti hoon, nahi chahti koi rahay mere aas paas, I can care for my own self, I can look after myself very well. Mujhe kisi ki koi zaroorat nahi

M~u feel like that because u lived in evil's company, no one ever cared about u besides your parents, isliye u r saying all this.

N~and what if u were in my place?

M~main aisa he feel karta

N~toh isliye, mujhe kisi ke saath nahi rehna

M~don't worry, u r not exactly going to live in my house

N~phir kahan?

M~outhouse, chalay ga? Wahan koi nahi aata jata, haan lekin place clean hai ek dam. Wahan tum ho gi aur tumhari tanhaai ho gi, if u say main bhi wahan nahi aaun ga

N~(smiled) outhouse chalay ga nahi, dauray ga doctor. Lekin, aap ki family? Koi kuchh nahi kahay ga kya?

M~don't worry, woh sab handle karne ke liye main hoon

N~okay done

M~so have a good night sleep, okay

Next morning, Manik got Nandini discharged. Nandini rested in Manik's outhouse relaxing herself feeling good after many years for the first time ever. Later, there was a knock at the door, Nandini answered the door, saw Manik, and moved back to let him in.

Mn~Nandini, aap ne kab se kuchh nahi khaaya, if you don't mind, aap mere saath lunch karengi?

N~aap ke saath? Matlab? Aap ke ghar pe?
