Sid: Avneet, we both believe strongly in rituals, pooja and everything, so we both should give a chance to this marriage. 

Avu: Yeah, so we'll sign the marriage papers. But divorce? Are we going to be bound together forever or divorce? 

Sid: We can't divorce for one year anyways, till then we'll know each other well enough, then we'll see whether we can be together or not. It's no different from arrange marriage, today we saw each other for the first time immediately after our marriage. 

Avu: Hmm. And about family? My family is just my younger brother and elder cousin sister. 

Sid: I don't think I'll able to tell anyone. At least I need some time. 

Avu: Same, my brother might be younger but still very possessive. If we divorce we'll just forget, but if we don't then we'll reveal our marriage. And after few months when we are ready, just introduce each other as a friend. 

Sid: Hmm. Also, do you love someone or something? I don't. 

Avu: I also don't. So we won't be having that difficulty. 

Sid hummed and they got the papers made and signed them the next day.

Flashback ends. 

Vaish: Avu. 

Avu: Di, aap yaha? { Di, you here?}

Vaish: Woh light chalu dekhi toh. Soyi nahi? { I saw the light on so. You didn't sleep?}

Avu: Neend nahi aa rahi bas. { Just not sleepy.} 

Vaish: Hmm. Bahar chalegi thodi der? { Hmm. Will you come out for sometime.}

Avu: Ha. 

They both were walking outside. 

Vaish: Avu, mujhe kuch batana tha. { Avu, I had to say something.}

Avu: Hmm? 

Vaish: Mai actually kisiko pasand karti thi. Uska naam Aarav hai. { I used to like someone. His name is Aarav.}

Avu: Aarav, yeh aapke college mein tha na? { Aarav, he was in your college right?}

Vaish: Ha, hum same company mein bhi kaam karte hai. { Yes, we work in the same company.}

Avu: Aap dono dost ho? { Are you both friends?}

Vaish: Ha, par utne ache bhi nahi. Bas kabhi kabar baat kar lete hai. { Yeah, but not that good friends. We just talk sometimes.}

Avu: Toh aage kya phir? { So what next?}

Vaish: Aage kuch bhi nahi. Mujhe kabhi aisa mehsoos nahi hota hai ki usse pyaar karti hu ya kabhi karungi. Ek tarah se bas ek crush tha jo bhi gaya. { Nothing after that. I never felte I love him or will ever do. In a way it was just a crush which is also not there anymore.}

Avu: Toh isme problem kya hai? { What is the problem in this?}

Vaish: Problem yeh hai ki uska kehna hai ki woh mujhse pyaar karta hai, mujhe propose kara tha. Ab samajh nahi aa raha kya karu. Mai ha na kuch bhi bol paati, usse pehle hi mere expressions dekh kar usne bol diya ki mai jitna chahe wakt le sakti hu. Mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa raha. { The problem is that he says he loves me, he had proposed me. I don't know what to do. Before I could say yes no anything, he saw my expressions and said that I can take as much time as I want to. I am not able to understand anything.}

Avu: Is baare mein aapke man mein kya chal raha hai? { What is going on in your mind about this?}

Vaish: Uska dil na toote isliye koshish karu, chance du use , par aage jakar pyaar nahi hua toh uska dil toh aur buri tarah se toot jayega. Lekin mana kaise karu samajh nahi aa raha. { I should try, give him a chance so that his heart doesn't break, but if I don't feel anything for him in future his heart will break in a worse way. But I don't know how to say no also.}
