11:30 pm
One hour after the party ended, annie was in her apartment, she finished talking to everyone in the home but refrained from mentioning Fakhir. For her , she felt that she has been a burden on everyone be it her father or her husband. And now she didn't want that. So she decided to maintain a safe distance from him. Whereas Fakhir was in dilemma, why didn't anyone mention about her coming to London or why did she behave like she didn't know him from earlier. After much contemplation he decided to go talk to her.

Fakhir knocked on the door. And Annie came to open the door.

Annie: (shocked to see him) tum yahan?

Fakhir: tum aisi hi kisi ke liye bhi dood khologi kya. Poochna chahiye kon h darwaze pe.

Annie: aage se dhyan rakhungi. Kuch chahiye tha? (Trying to cut short the conversation)

Fakhir: andar bhi aane nhi dogi?

Annie: ugh.. haan aao.

Fakhir: vo kya tha jo tumne ek ghante pehle kiya?
Tum toh aise mili jaise bilkul anjaan ho.

Annie: anjaan toh hum ho gye hai fakhir 3 saal baad mil rhe hai or in teen saalo mai humne kitni baar baat ki hai huh? Milne toh tum vaise bhi nhi aaye the.

Fakhir understood her pov and was a little sad with his behaviour.

Annie: khair maine is wajah se anjaan hone ka behave nhi kiya. Fakhir hum alag ho chuke hai tumhari yahan ek apni duniya hai. Agar sabko pata hota ki hum ek doosre ko jaante hai toh na chahte hue bhi tumhe mujhe apni duniya mai shamil krna padta. Or fakhir tum isi wajah se mujhe chod kr aaye the. Mai jaanti hoon ye bade abbu ne jaan kr kiya h par jb tk hum is baare mai koi zikr nhi krte tb tk vo bhi kuch nhi poochenge kyunki Maine specially request ki thi ki tumhe iss bare mein kuch na batayein.

Fakhir was extremely hurt that Annie didn't want him to be a part of her life or didn't want her to be a part of his life.

Fakhir: toh agar aaj tum na aati toh mujhe kabhi pata hi nhi chalta ki tum mere itne pass ho... shaadi se pehle bhi toh humara ek rishta tha na Annie...

Annie: Tha... par shaadi ke saath saath shayad vo bhi toot gya. Or hum distance mai chahe kitne bhi paas ho par zindagi mai bohot dur ho chuke hai Fakhir.

Fakhir: kyun?

Annie: tumhara kya bharosa fakhir aaj mujhe apne or apne doston se milwana chahoge apni life ka part banaoge par phir ek din frustrate hoke chale jaoge... mai ye or nhi dekh skti. Meri baate shayad kadwi lage but I am Sorry.

Fakhir didn't know what to say or how to react so he just left the house with heavy heart and a lot of confusion.

Both on their Beds

Annie: yahi best hai humare liye.

Fakhir's side

Fakhir: hum itne door kab ho gye? Glti bhi toh meri hai... or ab humare beech cousin or dosti ka rishta bhi nhi bacha...

Both were in deep thoughts thinking how will this go ahead. 5 years since they first got married and 3 years since they separated. So much has changed. They have grown up now. They were not just kids anymore. They had to get their life together.

Next morning
Annie woke up around 7:30 am and realised she didn't have anything to eat.

Annie: shit kal jldi jldi mai khane ka saaman lana toh bhool hi gyi mai...

Thats when she heard a knock... she opened the door

Saad: Hi! Good Morning!

Annie: Good Morning!!!

Saad: I thought I'd come and ask you for breakfast, I was not sure if you actually had anything or not.

Annie: yeah I didn't I forgot to purchase groceries.

Saad: cool then come have it with us.

Annie wanted to deny but she was damn hungry and really didn't wanna go out as she had no idea about where to go.

Annie: Yeah sure, thank you.

Both of them entered Saad's Apartment and found Fakhir sitting at the dining table doing something on his laptop.
As soon as she entered their eyes met.

Annie: (formally) hi good morning!

Fakhir: good morning.

Saad: Annie is here to have breakfast with us.

Fakhir smiled

Annie looked away and asked

Annie: what is there for breakfast?

Saad: Bachelor pad hai yahan breakfast ke naam pe bread anda or chai milti hai.( hi-fi with fakhir)

Annie too left out a small. Saad going to make tea but Annie took the utensils from him.

Annie: aaj tumhe annie special chai pilati hu.

As soon as Fakhir heard it nostalgia hit him. He remembered how she used to make tea for him every morning...
