It's morning,
Anubhav is standing in his bedroom and looking at something on his phone. Suddenly, he feels someone is back-hugging him tightly. He gets shattered by this and quickly turns to see the person. Kamya is standing there with a large smile on her face.
He sternly asks, "Yeh kya vyayahar hain, Kamya? Iss tarah se hume gale lagane se pehle kuch socha ya nahi aapne?"
"Oh C'mon, AV. We are friends naa... Aur friendship mein itna toh chalta rehta hain. Kya tum bhi aise behave kar rahe ho jaise maine kuch galat kar diya? Tumhe achchha nahi laga?" Kamya asks in a teasing tone.
He looks at her and replies, "Satya kahe toh nahi laga hume achchha. Khair chodiye iss baat ko. Yeh batayiye ki itni pratah yanha aane ka koi vishesh kaaran?"
"Kyun? Aise hi tumse milne nahi aa sakti kya?" She tries to flirt with him.
"Aaj kya aapne prashn ke uttar mein prashn hi puchhne ka nirnay liya hain?" he asks annoyedly.
She makes a sad face and says, "Kya AV? Tum kitne badal gaye ho... Pehle kitne achchhe se humse milte the. Haste muskurate rehte mere saath. Tum bilkul bhi pehle jaise nahi rahe! Mujhse koi galti ho gayi kya?"
He replies blankly, "Humne aisa ab kaha? Parantu pehle jaisa ab kuch bhi nahi raha, Kamya. Achchha yeh hi hain ki hum iss parivartan ke saath aage badhe."
"Kya humari dosti bhi pehli jaise nahi rahi? Ya phir ab humare beech dosti hi nahi rahi?" She asks with sad tone.
He looks at her with a bit of sadness and answers, "Aisi baat nahi hain, Kamya. Hum ab bhi mitra hain."
"Achchha? Par tumhare ravaiyye se toh aisa kuch nahi lagta. Ab toh tum aise behave karte ho jaise hum dono ajnabhi ho."
He looks down and sighs. He again looks at her and says, "Yadi humari kisi baat ka aapko bura laga toh hum kshama chahte hain, Kamya. Hum aapko peeda nahi pahunchana chahte. Parantu yeh toh aap bhi jaanti hain ki ab hum pehle jaise nahi rahe. Aur na hi pehle jaise ban-na chahte hain. Bahut kuch badal gaya hain pichale kuch varsho mein."
She gives a small smile to him and speaks, "I understand, AV. I completely understand. Tumhari best friend hoon main. Sab samajhti hoon. Par woh kya hain naa, tumhe aise dekha bhi nahi jaata mujhse. You know, I really miss my old AV."
Anubhav doesn't reply to her. She hugs him. He doesn't react for some seconds. After a few moments, he slowly raises his hands and hugs her back.
At the same time Haseena is about to enter his room for some discussion but seeing them like this she stops at the door only. He doesn't look at her. But Kamya looks at her. Kamya makes the hug even tighter. Realizing the situation, Haseena goes back silently.
------
Haseena is sitting on the swing in the garden. She has a blank expression on her face and is playing with her fingers.
"Yeh hume kya ho raha hain? Kamya bahut achchhi dost hain, Anubhav ki. Aur dosto ke beech toh nok-jhok, ladaai jhagda, ek dusre ki tang khichna, ek dusre ko gale lagana toh chalta rehta hain. This is absolutely normal. Yeh sab toh hum bhi karte hain apne dosto ke saath. Toh phir jab Kamya ne Anubhav ko gale lagaya toh hume achchha kyun nahi laga. Ek minute...? Anubhav? I mean Mr. Singh? Uff... Hume kuch samajh nahi aa raha hain. Kya ho gaya hain hume?" Haseena thinks in her mind.
