After a month,
Mauli is getting back normal….
Malhotra mansion,
Kunal: Why did you call me mamma?
Radhika: I wanted to ask you something.
Kunal: about mauli?
Radhika: yes dear. She isnt after that shock yet.
Kunal: Yes…. I will ask her to join back to work today.
Radhika: Will she?
Kunal: I will just ask. How long will she sit like this?
Radhika: Okay. Go ask her now then
In room,
Kunal: Mauli , why dont you join back in the hospital?
Mauli: not feeling to do so
Kunal: You will have to make up your mind. how long will you sit like this?
Mauli looks at kunal thinking how long you have been staying like this?
Kunal: I know what you are thinking.
Mauli: I will go.
Kunal: Get ready , I will drop you.
Mauli nods..
Mauli kunal leaves.
Same night,
Mauli is helping Radhika in cooking
Kunal in room
Kunal looking at Nandini’s photo: I really miss you yar. I dont want anything or anyone other than your memories . I love you nandini. I will not love someone else. Mauli is my wife but she can never replace you. Even if she tries to I cannot replace you in my heart with someone else. I will just love you forever. I dont love mauli and I will not love her ever. I should keep a distance with mauli or she would start expecting somthing from me which I couldn’t give.
Kunal turns back and is shocked to find Mauli over the door.
He is sure that she heard everything. He feels bad.
Kunal: When did you come?
Mauli: long before and sorry to hear your private conversation.
Kunal: I was just….
Mauli: Kunal, I am not fond of being your wife. I didnt ask you to love me either. I dont want me to replace nandini in your heart. Because you cannot ever replace someone whom you love or loved. And you dont worry to keep distance in between us. I will do it.
Kunal: I know you are not upto all of this. I was just …
Mauli angrily sleeps on the couch.
Kunal feels sorry but didnt say anything.
Next day,
Kunal wakes up and finds mauli all ready to leave for hospital.
Kunal: You are early today. Give me 20mins I will drop you.
Mauli: Not required . I am leaving.
Kunal:I told you I will drop you.
Mauli goes without listening to him.
Kunal: This girl…
Same night,
Kunal : Mauli , I am sorry for the other day. I didnt mean that you are upto something.
Mauli: Just leave it all kunal.
Kunal: Areey, I cannot leave it like that. I want that old Mauli back.
Mauli: why?
Kunal does not have an answer.
Mauli: Why do you want that old Mauli back?
Kunal doesnot say anything.
Just then mamma calls them downstairs
Mauli: what happened mamma?
Radhika: I am leaving for Rishikesh tomorrow.
Kunal: Why? I mean why all of a sudden?
Radhika: I feel to do so kunal. I am leaving tomorrow morning.
Mauli: But mamma…
Radhika: No , its and buts… I am leaving. I will return within two days.
Kunal and mauli nods.
Next day,
Radhika leaves for Rishikesh.
Kunal: We will have to deal with the house till mamma returns.
Mauli doesn’t respond.
Kunal gets angry: I apologized Mauli. Anyway it wasnt a big deal.
I didnt say anything which would offend you this much.
Mauli: I didnt say so
Kunal: Then whats your problem.
Mauli: No problem…. I am leaving .
Kunal: whatever.
mauli leaves for hospital then kunal heads towards his office.
Same evening,
Kunal is crossing the hospital . He thinks mauli is so adamant. She isnt even replying to the calls and messages. I should check her out.
Mauli in her cabin.
Mauli: Rishi, day after tomorrow is kunal’s birthday. We have to plan something big. Will you help me?
Rishi: Why not mauli? Tell me what you want.
He gets in her cabin and sees Mauli talking to someone( Rishi)
Mauli is shocked to see kunal over there.
Mauli: What are you doing here kunal?
Rishi: Oh this is kunal.. hi kunal . I am Rishi Kumar. Mauli’s best friend.
Kunal: Oh hi. I actually came to pick up mauli.
Rishi: if kunal was coming why did you ask me to drop you.
Mauli: I didnt knew he was coming.
Kunal: Shall we leave?
Mauli: I actually have some work . I will come . You can leave.
Rishi: what work do you have here? Just go with him
Mauli nods. Kunal and Mauli leaves
In car,
Kunal: what’s your problem Mauli? This is getting too long
Mauli thinks the problem is that I dont know what makes me do so.i think I am falling for you and I dont want that to happen because I know you will not love me.
Kunal: Say something.
Mauli: I dont know
Kunal: mauli, I am getting really angry.
Mauli: why are you getting affected by my actions? Whatever I do why do you care? I am not talking to you like before, why do you care? I am not responding, why do you care?
Kunal : Because I lo……
Kunal just realizes what he was about to say . He thinks am l in love with her?
Mauli: Because?
Kunal doesn’t say anything.
Mauli: why are you quiet now? tell me, what am I for you? Just a toy who plays according to you?
Kunal: I didnt ask you to do anything for me
Mauli: Exactly,I am the fool who did everything for you.
Silence for few seconds.
Mauli: stop the car kunal. Stop the car I said.
Kunal stops the car
Mauli gets out of the car and walks.
Kunal: Mauli, are you out of your mind?
Mauli: yes, I am
Kunal holds mauli’s hand and pulls her inside the car. He drives the car.
Kunal: It was my mistake that I stopped the car.
Mauli: it was my mistake that I agreed to marry you.
Kunal: I didnt ask you to do that either.
Mauli: That’s why I said it was my mistake.
They reach home
Mauli storms inside the house.
Kunal too.
Mauli’s phone falls in the living room .kunal picks it up seeing the phone ringing. Kunal attends the call.
Rishi: hey . Everything all right? I hope kunal didnt get any doubts about……
Kunal ends the call and thinks is mauli having an affair with Rishi. This is why she refused to come with me.
Kunal angrily: Mauli, mauli….
Mauli: What the hell do you want now ?
Kunal: who is Rishi?
Mauli: Come on you saw him today. He is my best friend.
Kunal: Are you having an affair with him?
Mauli: what?
Mauli is shocked by his question.
Kunal: I am asking if you are having an affair with him?
Mauli: Kunal how dare you?
Kunal: this is just an yes or no question mauli. Say no if you are not and end the matter here.
Mauli: who are you to question me kunal? Why am I supposed to answer you?
Kunal: I am your husband.
Mauli: really? Doesnt seem so?
Kunal: then what were you guyz talking ? And Just now he called you but I picked the phone and he asked whether kunal has any doubts?
