Kartik (still knocking): I said I am sorry...please...
Naira controls her sobbing and opens the door. Kartik comes Inside and sits on the bed.
Kartik: Look...main nahi jaanta tumhara past kya hai...magar itna kehna chahta hoon..tum achi ho....jo hua usse bhool jaoo...move ahead in life...
Naira (hiccupping): Sor....sorrry Kartik...I was rude...tumne tumne itni help ki meri..tum toh mujhe jaante bhi nahi...phir bhi help ki..mujhe aisa nahi kehna chahiye tha..i just got upset for no reason..
Kartik: can I give you a hug?
Naira looks at him. He seems genuine. He closes the distance between them and gives a gentle and consoling hug to her.

she cries unashamedly in front of Kartik- who is neither a friend, brother or lover – he is just somewhat friendly stranger !
Kartik makes hot coffee for both of them.
Naira: Thank you Kartik..i feel better..
Kartik (smiles): You are welcome....kisi ajnabi ke saamne ronaa acha hota hai..hum apno ke saamne kamzor nahi pad sakte...apne feelings theekh se share nahi kar sakte...kyunki hum unhe takleef nahi dena chahte...
Naira: hmm...sahi kaha...papa ke jaane ke baad..sab kuch itna jaldi ho gaya..mera divorce, admission..mujhe theekh se ronaa hi nahi aaya...I just couldn't grieve his loss...
Kartik: ek baat puchoon....tumhara divorce? I mean...
Naira (smile): Irreconcilable differences....yeh reason thi mere divorce ki...court ke hisaab se....
Kartik: I didn't get it....
Naira: mere bhi samajh me nahi aaya....but mere ex-husband ko yahi laga...he thought I was not compatible with him....mentally, emotionally and ..she looks down...and physically...
