Man: boss waise aaj to aap bohut khush hoge na...

RK: haan khush to main hoon. Aakhir mera sabse jaani dushman aaj maut ke ghaat utar gya. (Smirks)

Man: boss agar woh zinda bach gya to?

RK threw the glass in anger.

RK: nahiiii! Nahi bachega woh... Bilkul nahi bachega... Use marna hoga! (Shouts)

All others were frightened seeing RK like this.

They opted to keep mum rather than facing his wrath.

Here in the hospital.

After 3 hours doctor came out.

Avni DD and vidyut rushed towards him.

Avni: woh kaise hai? Unhe kuch hua to nahi na... Woh theek hai na? Boliye na doctor.. Kuch to kahiye... (The doctor kept mum) aap nahi bolenge to koi baat nahi main khud hi jaa ke mil leti hoo....

Avni pushed the doctor aside and went inside the room.

She saw RV laying on the bed.

He was looking pale and weak.

Avni: (whisper) uncle...

RV opened his eyes in slits. He slowly gestured avni to come to him with his hand.

Avni took baby steps towards his bed.

The tears were flowing from her eyes.

RV gave a weak smile to her.

Avni sat on the stool near his bed.

Avni: uncle... Aap theek ho na.. dard ho raha hoga na...

RV smiled.

RV: (weak voice) ab kabhi dard nahi hoga baccha...

Avni frowns.

Avni: Yeh aap kya keh rahe hai? Kuch samajh nahi aaya...

RV: Promise me... Ki tum apni zindagi barbaad nahi karogi...

Avni: (Frowns) Yeh aap kya kehna chahte hai...

In the meantime DD and vidyut came in the room.

RV gestured them to come to him. They did so..

RV: Tum dono avi ka khayaal rakhna... Aur apna bhi...

Avni: Uncle aap kehna kya chahte ho?

RV: Baccha apna khayal rakhna... Promise me... Teeno karo... Promise...

He extended a hand and if seeking promise.

DD and vidyut looked at each other then at avni and then at RV who was looking at them with hopeful eyes.

DD/vidyut: Promise

They said in unison and kept their hands in his hand.

All looked at avni. Maybe some where she knew what is coming.

She shook her head in 'no'

Avni: Nahi.... Yeh nahi.... Phir se nahi... Aapko kuch nahi hoga... Aur mera khayaal aap hi rakho ge... Suna aapne... Aapko theek hina hoga....

RV: bohut der ho gyi hai baccha...

Avni was scared.

She held his hand and was continuously nodding head in no.
