Love or a Lie : Season 2 (✅)

(21)

Manav pulls back and cups Unns face.

Manav- Relax Unsuu. We are all here. We'll do all the things Aash wanted to do. Right?

Unns nods. Manav wipes her tears away.

Manav- Smile now. My responsibility is to keep you happy and I'm not even able to do that.

Unns- It's not like that Manav. You do everything but..

Manav turns away from Unns because he longer could hold his tears.

Manav- No ifs and buts. I'll be here with you and make sure you smile.

Unns- And you my husband don't have to hide your tears from me.

Unns holds Manav's hand and turns him to face himself.

Unns- It's not your fault.

Manav rests his head on Unns laps and Unns caresses his head.

Manav- I don't know Unns. Today when we were leaving, Sanket told me how worried he was for Aash. I promised him that I won't ever let anything happen to her. But today I couldn't save her. She died in front of my eyes and I was so helpless. What will I say to Sanket Unnsuu?

Unns- Manav like you said we have to be strong and deal with it. Aash gave her life to save people and when Sanket will hear this, he will be very proud of her.

Manav- But like you said, she won't ever come back.

Unns- I know and there's nothing I can do to change this (gives a weak smile)

Manav wipes his tears away and gets up.

Manav- I'm good. I need to talk to Tanzeel. He's upset with me.

Unns- Should I come with you?

Manav- No I..

Before Manav could say anything Ashi shouts 'Manav'

Manav and Unns look at each other.

Manav- Just stay here Unnsuu and take care.

With this Manav rushes downstairs.

Manav- Ashi what happened? Why are you shouting?

Ashi- Sanket.

Manav- Sanket what Ashi? Say?

Ashi- (crying) Captain called on your phone and by chance Tanzeel received it. Sanket went to the bureau and he heard about Aash's death from him. Then he asked captain to tell him everything and after captain narrated him whatever happened he just drove away. And Tanzeel just went away.

Manav- I'll have to go behind them. Take care of Unns.

And with this Manav rushes out of the house. He sees Tanzeel calling someone continously and is crying.

Manav- Get in the car Tanzeel.

Tanzeel...
