Ab dopahar ke ek baj jate hai.aur Mukti Manik ke kamre me lunch leke aati hai.

Mukti: kya main tumhare saath lunch kar sakti hoon.

Manik: come on.yaad hai ab hum dost hai.

Mukti: of course.

Mukti Manik ke pass wali chair pe beth jati hai aur woh Manik ko lunch serve karti hai.

Manik: married.

Mukti: ya.teen saal pehle.

Manik: oh ok.to tumhara pati yahaan pe doctor hai kya.

Mukti (laughs): nahin Abhi to khoon ki ek boond dekh ke bhi behosh ho jaye.woh kya doctor banega.

Manik: to tumhare pati ka naam Abhi hai.kya karta hai.

Mukti: woh pilot hai.aaj kal Delhi se london ki flights me hai.

Manik: interstring.

Mukti: ab yeh sab chodo.yeh batao ki Nandini ko kaise jante ho.

Manik: university se.Main apne business ke master ke liye gaya tha aur Nandini waha pe medicine ke third year me thi.aise hi do saal tak hum ek hi college me the.

Mukti: tum bhi na.main kaise mile yeh nahin puchti.main yeh janna chahti hoon ki kya tum Nandini se pyaar karte the.

Manik: Pyaar karta tha nahin balke abhi bhi karta hoon.shayad ab jyada karta hoon kyunki in do saal uske bina mera pyaar Nandini ke liye badhta gaya.

Mukti: tumne kabhi Nandini ko bataya nahin.

Manik: bahot koshish ki lekin keh nahin paya aur jab kaha us din uska college me aakhri din tha.

Mukti: Nandini ne kya kaha.kya woh bhi tumse pyaar karti thi.

Manik: Nandini mujse pyaar karti thi ya nahin uska jawaab to aaj bhi main dhundh raha hoon.

Mukti: tum muje confuse kar rahe ho.jo hai woh saaf saaf kaho.

Manik: thik hai.yeh baat do saal pehle ki hai.

(flashback)

woh din hum sab ka aakhri din tha.Main bahot hi nervous tha kyunki us din main apne pyaar ka izhar karne ja raha tha.us din Cabir ne bataya tha ki aaj raat ko Nandini bhi usi party me janewli hai aur yeh sunke main bhi taiyaar ho gaya.phir main aur Nandini party me mile aur phir kisi bhi tarah se main Nandini se baat karne ka soch raha tha jab Nandini ke cell pe kisi ka phone aata hai aur woh party se bahar chali jati hai.

Nandini is standing outside when Manik stands beside her.

Nandini: Manik tum yahaan.

Manik: tumse ek baat karni hai.

Nandini: batao kya baat hai.

Manik: Nandini maine jab se tumhe pehli bar dekha tab se tumhe apna dil de betha hoon.Nandini main tumse bahot pyaar karta hoon.kya tum bhi wahi mehsoos karti ho jo main karta hoon.

Nandini was shocked.

Manik: Nandini kuch to kaho.

Nandini: Manik maine tumse kabhi pyaar kiya hi nahin kyunki mere liye mera career sabse important hai.maine kabhi is barein me socha hi nahin.tum dil ke bahot achche ho lekin maine tumme sirf ek dost ko hi dekha hai.Manik maine nahi apna gujra hua kal dekha hai na aanewala kal.main kal hi yeh sehar chodke ja rahi hoon.

Manik: Pyaar to tum karti ho.sirf dikhana nahin chahti.

Nandini: nahin Manik tum muje galat samj rahe ho.shayad tumne kabhi muje samjne ki koshish hi nahin ki.
