She continues to stare at trees ignoring his presence, both sit there in silence for sometime....

Then manik breaks the silence

Manik (siting at front) : mein bahut bura hoona mein haar gaya nah ek acha beta ban paya aur naa hi ek acha pati, accha baap,acha dost aur khas kar ke acha bhai ban paya sabse badi galti tho meine tumhare sath ki hai mein yeh sochkar dhoor gaya tha ki kahi meri dhuk tum logon ko affect naah kardhe aur tumlog hurt na hojaye par at the
end I did that only na to hurt you all meine yeh nahi socha ki mere bina meri behen kya karegi? voh behen jisne mera saath kabhi nahi choda voh behen jisne kabhi mujhe apne aapse dur na kiya,voh behen jo humesha mujhse dhuk batana chahti hai though I had pushed her away from me she had never left my side par tumhe pata haina tera bhai kitna bada duffer hai mein tho humesha se aisa hi hoona impulsive, gussa karna wala aur tum tho humesha meri saari galtiyon ko maaf kina ab ek aur bhi kardo mein bas tumlogon ko hurt nahi karna chahtha tha babysis isiliye meine aisa kiya "apnae bhai ko maaf nahi karogi moti ?" (he holds his ears with some tears)

Avni looks at him with tears..

Avni:aapko pata haina ki meine aapke bina ek bhi decision nahi liya hai aaj tak jab mujhe abhi se pyaar hui thi tab bhi mein sabse pehle aapse boli thi jab bhi mujhe koi pareshani hui ho mein aapse aayi thi,par aapne kya kiya? Aapane mujhe apne aapse dur baga dhiya It's hurts bhai, It's hurts to see you like that, mera bhai jisko meine humesha khush aur muskurate hue dekha usko aisae dhekae mujhe kaisa feel hua yeh jante tho aap? mein manti hoon aapka pyaar aapse dur chali gayi par bhai agar vah aapki jaan thi to voh hamari bhi to jaan thi uske liye aap humhe kyun apne sae dur kiya? aapse dur jaa kar kaunsi khushi milegi humne? aapko pata hai kitni baar mujhe lonely feel hui ? aur jab bhi mujhe lone feel hoti thi tho mein sirf aapke bare mein sochti thi,mujhe aapke paas aana tha aur kahi baar aapki
room ki darwaze tak aake wapas chali jati thi mein (Manik's tears flow more) apne aapki moti ko akheli kyun chod dhiya bhai? (saying this she cries harder)

Manik (shaking his head) : no no anu...(wiping her tears) shh..please shant hoja mein gadha tha ki meine aisa kar diya par meri behen tho achi haina she had always forgive me for my every mistake please one last chance and I promise aage kuch bhi jaaye mein apni "anu " ko apnae aapse dur nahi karoonga Please I'm sorry baby....

Avni hugs him tightly crying harder and he sheds his held tears hugging her with equal force still in hug..

Avni : I missed you bhai aur kabardhar mere bhai ko bhura kaha tho he is the best anyone could get...

Manik (smiling) : I missed you too anu..

They both talk for sometime when manik says

Manik : yaar moti abhi se gussa ho kya?

Avni : uski baath mat kariye bhai...

Manik : aise kaise baat nah kare come on baby tum jante hona voh nandu ko lekhar kitna protective hai aur upar se nandu ki jaan khatre mein thi tho voh kaise humse nandu ki baare mein bolta tum hi bolo agar tumhe aisa situation aaye tho kya mein bolunga kya abhi se? nahi naa waisa hi voh bhi apni behen kae liye soch raba tha iss mein galat kya hai baby?

Avni : us mein koi galati nahi hai bhai aur mein usse isliye nahi gussa hoon ki usne humhe nandu kae baare mein nahi bataya par isiliye gussa hoon ki aapko aise dhekne ke baadh bhi he didn't said about her. Kam se kam nandu se phone pe baat tho karva sakta tha na but he just always let you suffer

A voice come there

"Every silence have a reason"

They saw Aadhik standing there leaning to the tress, he look at them

Manik : eavesdrop is wrong jr Malhotra

Aadhik smile and move towards them give them 2 coffee mugs

Aadhik : don't worry I didn't heard all I got your guitar so just finding some place for my practice (wanted towards Manik's guitar which is kept beside the tree) when I see both, when you can say I did eavesdrop but with just a single para...

Manik and Avni going to say something that he continue

Aadhik : let me complete please (they nodded) we heard A coin have two face I'm not going to take anyone's side or going to judge anyone but just wanted to tell you his side story because I know he will never tell you (close his eyes lean towards tree) I was 5 year old I remember me and he we both were sitting on terrace at night he lie down there and keep his head on my lap I don't know what about happening suddenly he started crying now I got scared I try hard to make stop crying but he literally beg front of me to not to stop him crying in front of me from that day he always use to cry whenever he come to me from here rota tha rote rote kabhi behosh Ho jata tha to kabhi so jata tha (a tear in ecape from his close eyes), you know what he used to say while crying (they nodded no tear was floating down from there eyes too as they can imagine his pain) he used to say "Buddy mujhe maaf kar do main majbur hun" "Ani mujhe maaf kar do main Tumhare liye vah maniyu nahin bann paya Jo jisse tumne pyar kiya tha" he used to ask sorry from each and every person he used to ask me like a baby "Buddy to mujhe maaf karega na" aur mere paas avaaz hokar bhi jawab nahin hota tha that's why I said he always had a unbreakable pain behind his smile

Avni ask

Avni : lekin voh bhi mujhse dur kyu jaaa raha tha accha hai voh nandu ki baare mein soch raha tha par mein? meri baare mein bhi sochna chahiye tha na usse...par usne tho mujhe ignore karna shuru kardhiya aur uske sorry se kuchh badal nahin jaega....

Aadhik (smirks) : when did I say don't punish him for his mistake ?

Avni : but you -

Aadhik : come on darling I just share his side story so you can punish him for his real mistake I didn't said forgive him , even I will never allowed you to do that (went from there while winking at her)

He take two three step forward turn look at them and said

Aadhik : coffee pi ke batana kaise aakhir Aadhik Malhotra ke hath ki hai

He went from there taking his guitar

Avni : Bhai ab main Kya karun he also suffer so much....

Manik : anu tum bhi acche se jante ho ki voh tumse dur ho ni sakta ek din ke liye bhi nahi haan usne situation mein akar aise galtiyan Karli hai par usne jaan bhujh kar thodina ki hai tum bhi jante ho ki he can't live without you.... voh bhi tho seh raha haina tumari gussa itni dhinonse..ab chod dho uss bichare ko...par haan just like Aadhik said I'm also not saying you to forgive him easily jitna revenge lena hai laelo par after that forgive him(winking)......

Avni(smirking): waise I like the idea karke dhekti hoon.

They both smile mischieviously....

Avni (smiles) : vaise Aadhik he is really mature then from his age... He was right I thought he going to judge me but no

Manik (smiles) : really he stop us from going to the wrong path

Avni nodded and take a sip of coffee

Avni : ummmmm....so yummy
