Anushka room.
Aarav lay her on the bed gently and left.
Maya sigh and sat beside her....

Maya: I am sorry Anu.. I don't know if you will like the choices your father and I are going to make about you.... I hope you will understand me.

Anushka was shock hearing her mother. She feel guilty listening to her as her mother thought she was sleeping.

Anushka open her eyes and look at her mother.
Anushka: What are you saying mumma?

Maya was shock.
Maya: Go change. Then we will talk... come downstairs.

Anushka nodded and went to change. Maya left.

Living room.
Maya saw Rudra and Abhiraj talk with Virat.
She walk toward them.

Virat look at Maya...
Virat: Why would you guys want Anushka to marry me? Don't you want her to marry a good boy?

Maya smile.
Maya: You are the one for my daughter. You are the good boy...

Virat sigh.
Virat: No Aunty. I am not!

Maya: Virat....

Rudra: Fine! Will you be able to see Anu with someone else.

Virat look down...
Virat: Uncle please.

Rudra: You won't... why can't you marry her?

Virat look down...

"Dad! Why would anyone will want to marry me..

They look toward the stairs and saw Anushka.
She walk to them with a smile.
Anushka look at Virat.
Anushka: You don't have to marry okay... don't listen to them.... Virat and I are just best friend! That's it!

Rudra: But....

Anushka: No but dadda... and why would virat marry me! Or any other boy marry me!

They all look at Anushka.
Anushka: No one will want an anxious wife! No one will want a wife that's is scared to get out of the house! Right! I am not normal dad mum!
I won't be able to go on date with my husband... we would be able to held a party in the house or I won't even able to meet his friends so! I completely understand virat! He need someone who is exactly like him.. no one will ever love me! I am not made to be loved.

Maya and Rudra sigh....
Anushka: I don't want to heard you all discussing about my wedding again!
She left sadly.

Virat sigh.
Virat: I am going home dad!
He left.

Maya, Rudra and Abhiraj sigh.
Abhiraj: I am leaving Rudra. He need me. I will see you all soon. Bye.
He left.

Maya and Rudra look at each other.
Maya hug Rudra.
Maya: You see! You know how many things she is hiding.. today she told us a small part of her feeling... but she is hiding much more. I can't Rudra! She think she is unlovable.

Rudra: Stop crying... I will talk to her....

Maya nods and wipe her tears...

Anushka room.
Anushka sit on the floor and cries.
Anushka: I will never make mumma and dadda proud... why is my life so hard! Why am I like this! Why can't I be like Mayra Di or Aarav bhai...

Anushka wipe her tears...
Anushka: No i will not cry anymore...

She heard someone knocking...
Anushka: Go away!
