(Riya and Manik are having breakfast and sitting at the dining table. Manik thinks something and initiates the conversation.)
Manik- So, what are your special plans for today?
Riya- Mujhe to khud samajh nahi aa raha hai. Chocolate Day pe sirf ek dusre ko chocolates thodi denge hum. Kuch special bhi to hona chahiye.
[Riya- Even I am not able to think of something. We won't be just gifting each other chocolates on Chocolate day. There should be something special too.]
Manik- Haan to batao kya karna hai. Hum vo kar lenge.
[Manik- Yes, so tell me what to do. We will do that.]
Riya- Manik ab se alag plan nahi karte hai. Let's plan these days together now.
[Riya- Manik, let's not plan differently from now on. Let's plan these days together now.]
Manik- Sure. I have no issues with this. But hum aaj karne kya wale hai?
[Manik- Sure. I have no issues with this. But what are we going to do today?]
Riya- It's chocolate day today. So let's do something related to chocolates only.
Manik- I know. But what do we do?
Riya- How about we make chocolates at home? Together.
Manik- Really? Chocolate banani hai ghar pe?
[Manik- Really? Make chocolates at home?]
Riya- Yes Manik. See this.
(She then shows him a saved recipe for making chocolate saved on her phone.)
Manik- This looks alright, actually.
Riya- Exactly. So we will make chocolates in the evening today.
Manik- Chalo ye to shaam ko karna hai but now we must leave. Tumhe nahi jaana hospital aaj?
[Manik-Let's do this in the evening, but now we must leave. Don't you have to go to the hospital today?]
Riya- I have to. But I have surgery to perform at 10 today. So I will go accordingly.
Manik- Okay. So I am leaving. I have to meet some clients.
(They both get up and smile, looking at each other. She then comes to him and wraps her arms around his neck.)
Manik- Someone is in the mood today, hmm?
Riya- What mood? What are you saying, Manik?
Manik- Really? You don't know?
Riya- Not at all. What are you talking about?
(He then puts his arm around her waist and pulls her towards himself. He then caresses her cheek softly, and she smiles, looking at him.)
Riya- What happened Manik? What mood? Hmm?
Manik- So you still want to act smart with me?
Riya- I don't have to act smart. I am already smart.
Manik- In that case, I know how to shut your smartness.
Riya- Ohh, really? And how will you do that?
Manik- First, tell me what you feel when I do this.
Riya- Do what?
(He then cups her face and looks at her intently. She, too, looks at him, and he kisses her forehead, to which she closes her eyes. He then looks at her as she has her eyes closed and then kisses her eyes, and she releases a shaky breath at him being so close to her. She puts her hand on his chest and clutches his blazer in his fists, and he kisses her cheek further. They both then look at each other, their faces at a minimal distance from each other. He caresses her lips gently and then kisses her on the edge of her lips.)
Manik (slowly)- Kuch feel hua?
[Manik (slowly)- Felt something?]
Riya (slowly)- Hmm.
Manik- Hmm?
(She nods in a yes, and they come forward to kiss each other, but their moment gets interrupted when Manik's phone rings, breaking their trance. He checks the phone and murmurs a few curses for the caller, Cabir.)
Manik- Log shanti se kiss bhi nahi karne dete hai yahan.
[Manik- People don't even let you kiss peacefully here.]
(He cuts the call, and Riya giggles at his remark while he glares playfully at her.)
Manik- Zyaada hasi nahi aa rahi hai tumhe?
[Manik- Are you not laughing much?]
Riya- Main kab hasi? Main to itne serious mood mein hoon.
[Riya- When did I laugh? I am in such a serious mood.]
Manik- Tumhe to main shaam ko batata hoon.
[Manik- I will tell you in the evening.]
Riya- Shaam ko batane ke liye abhi jaake kaam kar lo. Nahi to shaam ko kaam karne baithne padega.
[Riya- Go and work now to tell me in the evening. Otherwise, you will have to sit for work in the evening.]
Manik- Haan haan jaa raha hoon.
[Manik- Yes, yes, I am leaving.]
Riya- Okay then.
Manik- Okay.
Riya- Okay, Manik.
Manik- Okay, Riya.
Riya- Manik tang mat karo mujhe tum. Jao ab.
[Riya- Manik, don't bother me. Go now.]
(He laughs at her as she makes a cute annoyed face and then hugs her.)
Manik- Okay, now I am seriously leaving for work. So, give me my hug otherwise I won't be able to go.
Riya- Bohot gande ho tum Manik Malhotra.
[Riya- You are very bad, Manik Malhotra.]
Manik- Well, thank you so much for the compliment.
(They both then hug, and he kisses her head, and she tightens her hold on him.)
Manik- I love you, Riya.
Riya- I love you too, Manik.
(He then breaks the hug and cups her face.)
Manik- Take care. Don't stress yourself.
Riya (holding his hand on her face)- You too. And don't get angry at people.
Manik (chuckles)- Okay, okay.
Riya- See you soon.
Manik- Very soon.
(He then leaves for the office, and Riya smiles, thinking about their moments.)
(There is pin drop silence in the house as everyone sits together, having breakfast at the dining table. Ashwin and Anita look at each other and then at Aryaman, who has not talked to them since he came to know the truth.)
Ashwin (slowly, to Anita)- Tum apne iss bete ko samjha nahi sakti ache se? Ye kya naya drama laga rakha hai isne.
[Ashwin (slowly, to Anita)- Can't you properly explain this son of yours? What new drama he has created.]
Anita (slowly, to Ashwin)- Baar baar ye kehna band karo Ashwin. Aur tumne promise kiya hai mujh se that you won't bring this topic up. Aryaman is our son and no one can change that fact.
[Anita (slowly, to Ashwin)- Stop saying this repeatedly, Ashwin. And you have promised me that you won't bring this topic up. Aryaman is our son, and no one can change that fact.]
Aryaman- Phir se kuch plan kar rahe hai aap log?
[Aryaman- Are you guys planning something again?]
Anita (acting sweetly)- No, Aryaman. Tum hume galat samajh rahe ho. Hum to bas tumhare baare mein hi baat kar rahe the.
[Anita (acting sweetly)- No, Aryaman. You are misunderstanding us. We were only talking about you.]
Aryaman- Kya bacha hai baat karne ko ab? Aap ko apne parents bolte huye sharam aa rahi hai mujhe. Itne ghatiya ho aap log...
[Aryaman- What is left to talk about now? I am ashamed to call you my parents. You guys are so bad...]
Harshad- Tum bhi koyi bohot mahaan nahi ho yahan. Tum ne kya kiya uske liye? Aur tum bhi ussi ko blame karte the to tumhari bhi galti hai samjhe.
[Harshad- You are also not very great here. What did you do for her? And you also used to blame her, so understand that it is your fault too.]
Aryaman- I know meri galti hai par tumhe uss mein kuch karne ki zarurat nahi hai. Meri galti hai main khud sambhaal lunga. Aur meri to phir galti hai, aur main vo har koshish karunga ki usse sudhaar sakun aur Riya se maafi maang saku. Par tum kya karoge? Tum ne to galti nahi gunaah kiya hai. Apni behen ke saath aisa kaise kar sakte ho tum?
[Aryaman- I know it is my fault, but you don't have to do anything about that. It was my fault, and I will take care of it myself. And it is my fault again, and I will try to rectify it and apologize to Riya. But what will you do? You have committed a crime, not a mistake. How can you do this to your sister?]
Harshad- Uske saath sab isiliye hua kyunki vo yahi deserve karti thi. Aur uske chehre pe vo khushi bardaasht nahi hoti hai mujhse. Mann karta hai ki...
[Harshad- All that happened to her because she deserved it. And I cannot tolerate any happiness on her face. I just want to...]
(Before Harshad can complete his sentence, Aryaman angrily smashes a glass on the floor. Ashwin holds his head, seeing the drama unfold, and Anita goes to Aryaman and tries to hold him, but he pushes her back.)
Aryaman- Apne inn gande haathon se haath mat lagaiye mujhe. You are the worst mother ever.
[Aryaman- Don't touch me with your dirty hands. You are the worst mother ever.]
(Aryaman leaves angrily, and Ashwin bangs his fist on the table.)
Ashwin- Ek drama khatam hota ki saath hi dusra shuru ho jaata hai.
[Ashwin- As soon as one drama ends, another begins.]
Anita- Ashwin kya karna hai ab? Usse sab pata chal gaya hai. Agar usne kisi ko...
[Anita- Ashwin, what to do now? He has come to know everything. if he...]
Ashwin- Mujhe nahi pata kya karna hai. Tumhara beta hai to tum sambhaalo usse aur mujhe bas solution laa ke do iss baat ka.
[Ashwin- I don't know what to do. He is your son, so you take care of it and just get me a solution to it.]
(He angrily leaves from there, and Anita fumes in anger.)
Harshad- Ab kya karna hai Mom? Kaise rokenge Aryaman ko?
[Harshad- What to do now, Mom? How will you stop Aryaman?]
Anita- Mujhe nahi pata Harshad. Kaash main iss sab ki jadd ko hi mita pati. She has made our lives hell. That girl...
[Anita- I don't know Harshad. I wish I could get rid of the root cause of all this. She has made our lives hell. That girl...]
(Anita leaves angrily, and Harshad shakes his head in disbelief.)
(It is 07:00 PM, and Riya is waiting for Manik in the room, as he is in the bathroom getting fresh. She then quickly goes through the chocolate making recipe on her phone and smiles excitedly.)
Riya- It will be so much fun. And we will celebrate all the other days like this too, by doing something special together.
(Manik then comes out of the bathroom after getting fresh and sits beside her on the bed.)
Manik- So much excited to make chocolates at home?
Riya- Of course, Manik. And we are doing it together, and that is what matters.
Manik- And I am very sure ki aise dheere dheere hi naa humne sab ghar pe banana hi seekh lena hai. Bahar jaane ki zarurat hi nahi padegi.
[Manik- I am sure we will learn to make everything at home slowly. Then there will be no need to go out.]
Riya- And that is so good, actually. With this, we will also be able to follow a healthy diet.
Manik- Great idea.
Riya- Let's make chocolates and dinner first, and we need to finish some pending tasks after that too.
Manik- Haan haan vo baad mein kar lenge. Abhi pehle let's make chocolates.
[Manik- Yes, yes, we will do them later. First, let's make chocolates.]
Riya- Yes.
(They go to the kitchen and assemble all the ingredients on the shelf that they would need. He then checks the mobile for the recipe.)
Manik- First, add cocoa and butter to the processor and mix them well to form a paste. Okay.
Riya- To tum tab tak ye karo, I will prepare things for dinner.
[Riya- So you do this till then I will prepare things for dinner.]
Manik- Perfect.
(Manik gets busy mixing the ingredients, and Riya starts chopping the vegetables for dinner.)
Riya- Ab tum ruko. Let me help with it too.
[Riya- Now you wait. Let me help with it too.]
(She further switches on the gas and keeps the pan on it. They further work together to make the chocolate and prepare the dinner together.)
(Post dinner, they both are in the room, completing their work. Riya checks the time and finds it to be 11:30 PM. She keeps her stuff away and starts combing her hair, standing in front of the mirror. Manik is packing up his stuff, too, when he hears her sigh tiredly.)
Manik (standing up from the bed)- Kya ho gaya Dr Riya? Kya problem hai?
[Manik (standing up from the bed)- What happened, Dr Riya? What is the problem?]
Riya- My hair looks so bad, Manik. Just look at them. They are so dry.
Manik- So apply some good oil or something. They will get better with that.
(He stands behind her in front of the mirror and looks at her hair.)
Riya- Ye sab karne ka naa time hai naa himmat. Aur main khud ke ache se nahi laga paati hoon. Koyi fayda nahi hai kuch kar ke bhi.
[Riya- There is neither time nor courage to do all this. And I can't get it done correctly by myself. There is no use in doing anything.]
(Manik shakes his head in disbelief at her and goes to the bathroom. After a few moments, he comes out with the oil bottle in his hand.)
Riya- Manik bola to maine isse kuch nahi hoga. Ye kyu laaye ho?
[Riya- Manik, I told you it won't help. Why have you brought this?]
Manik- Tum yahan aao aur chup chaap baitho.
[Manik- You come here and sit quietly.]
(He then makes her sit near the edge of the bed and stands behind her. He pours some oil into his hand and rubs it thoroughly on his hands.)
Riya- Manik, what...
(She gets quiet as he starts massaging her hair with the oil he has on his hands.)
Riya- Manik rehne do please ye sab mat karo. Tumhe sahi se...
[Riya- Manik, let it be. Please don't do all this. You don't know...]
Manik- Ye to mujhe karna aata hi hai. Aur isme kuch seekhne ki bhi zarurat nahi hai. It's okay.
[Manik- I know how to do this. And there is no need to learn anything about this. It's okay.]
Riya- But are you not tired?
Manik- 10-15 minute mein kuch nahi hone wala. Par tumhari ye bad hair wali problem zarur solve ho jayegi. Ab chup kar ke lagva lo.
[Manik- Nothing is going to happen in 10-15 minutes. But this bad hair problem of yours will definitely be solved. Now sit quietly and get it done.]
Riya (cutely)- Haan to gussa to mat karo naa. Bina gussa kiye bata do.
[Riya (cutely)- Then don't get angry. Tell this to me without getting angry.]
Manik- Okay, fine. Now just shhh. Let me do my work.
(He then massages her head for some time, and she closes her eyes, feeling relaxed. Then, she gets up and asks him to sit down.)
Manik- I told you it's fine, Riya. Main kabhi aur karva lunga.
[Manik- I told you it's fine, Riya. I will get it done some other time.]
Riya- Thoda sa time hi lagega naa Manik. Karva lo tum bhi. Achi neend aayegi. Come.
[Riya- It will just take a little time, Manik. You get it done, too, please. You will get a good sleep with this. Come.]
(He then sits on the bed, and she gives him an oil massage. After some time, they fall asleep peacefully in each other's embrace.)
(Riya and Manik are sleeping peacefully when Manik wakes up because of the sun rays falling on his face. He rubs his eyes and tries getting up but feels some weight on his chest. He looks down and smiles as he sees Riya sleeping peacefully, with her head on his chest, her arm wrapped around him, and his arm wrapped around her frame from the back. He then softly kisses her head and gets up carefully after making her sleep on the bed.)
Manik- It's just 06:30 right now.
(He then looks at her sleeping frame and thinks something. He then goes to the bathroom to get fresh and then goes downstairs.)
(Riya wakes up and sits on the bed, yawning. She then looks on as she finds Manik reading a file, sitting on the couch, and he is ready too.)
Riya- Good morning.
Manik (smiling)- Good morning, sleepy head.
Riya- I am not a sleepy head. Bas kal zyaada thakk gayi thi isiliye late uthi hu.
[Riya- I am not a sleepy head. I just got exhausted yesterday, so I woke up late today.]
(He gets up and sits in front of her.)
Manik- I know. Isiliye jaldi nahi uthaya.
[Manik- I know. That is why I didn't wake you up.]
Riya- Par tum kab se uthe huye ho? And how are you all ready?
[Riya- But since when have you been up? And how are you all ready?]
Manik- I am ready because I woke up way before you and then did some workout and made breakfast for us.
Riya- Manik why did you...
Manik- We have french toast for breakfast today.
Riya (excited)- Really?
Manik- Yes. I know you like them.
Riya- You are wrong actually Manik. I don't like french toast.
Manik- What? But tum ne hi mujhe bataya tha naa that they are your favourite for breakfast. Isiliye banaye maine tumhare liye.
[Manik- What? But you only told me that they were your favourite for breakfast. That's why I made it for you.]
Riya- Actually...
Manik- Actually what?
Riya (loudly)- I actually love them. And I love them more when you make them for me.
(Saying this, she moves closer towards him and hugs him tightly while he chuckles at her antics and hugs her back.)
Riya- And I love you too.
Manik- I love you more.
(They both keep hugging each other for some time and then get back.)
Riya- Well aaj ka kya plan hai? It's teddy day today. What's the plan?
[Riya- Well, what's the plan for today? It's teddy day today. What's the plan?]
Manik- But we are there for each other. So we don't need teddies.
Riya- But let's at least get a teddy, please. Kuch to karenge naa aaj Manik.
[Riya- But let's at least get a teddy, please. At least we will do something today, Manik.]
Manik- Okay, fine kar lenge but pehle get ready quickly. The breakfast is waiting for you.
[Manik- Okay, fine, we will do it, but first, get ready quickly. The breakfast is waiting for you.]
Riya- Okay.
(She takes her stuff and goes to the bathroom to get ready. They both then go down later and have their breakfast together. They then leave for their respective workplaces, where in the afternoon, Riya sends him a picture of a cute teddy bear she wants to buy. He looks at the image and chuckles. Further, he dials her number, and she answers the call immediately.)
Manik- Aaj koyi patient nahi hai kya Dr Riya ke paas?
[Manik- Dr Riya doesn't have any patient today?]
Riya- Nahi vo, someone cancelled their appointment, so I was free and saw this cute teddy online. Ek lete hai naa Manik please.
[Riya- Someone cancelled their appointment, so I was free and saw this cute teddy online. Let's buy one, Manik, please.]
Manik- Arey mujhe lene mein koyi problem nahi hai baba, but how are you so obsessed with teddy bears in a day? What happened?
[Manik- I have no problem buying them, babe, but how are you so obsessed with teddy bears in a day? What happened?]
Riya- Nothing happened, Manik. It's just that we are celebrating all these days together, so I am also excited about this day. And these teddy bears look so cute. So I selected this one. If you like any other, then you tell me, we will buy that one.
Manik- Nahi nahi hum yahi le lenge, mujhe koyi problem nahi hai. Par uske liye tumhe kuch karna padega.
[Manik- No, no, we will buy this. I have no problem. But for that, you have to do something.]
Riya- Okay. Batao kya karna padega?
[Riya- Okay. Tell me, what do I have to do?]
Manik- We will make that apple pie again tonight, just like the one we made earlier.
Riya- Okay done. To main ye wala teddy hi order kar rahi hoon okay?
[Riya- Okay, done. So I am ordering this teddy only, okay?]
Manik- Yes, of course. As long as that smile stays on your face. I don't have any issues with whatever happens or whatever you do.
Riya- Awww, you are so cute, Manik. How sweet.
Manik- Agar ab tum ne mujhe cute bola naa Riya to main bhi tumhara kuch ganda saa naam rakh dunga. Phir complain mat karna.
[Manik- If now you called me cute, Riya, I will also give you a weird name. Then don't complain about it.]
Riya- Cute weird naam thodi hota hai. Aur tum kabhi kabhi bohot cute lagte ho really. And you are actually my personal teddy bear, Manik. So cute and also very sweet.
[Riya- Cute is not a weird name. And you do look really cute sometimes. And you are actually my personal teddy bear, Manik. So cute and also very sweet.]
Manik- No. I am not cute, and that's it. Uske alava kuch bhi bula lo, but not that word.
[Manik- No. I am not cute, and that's it. Call me anything except that, but not that word.]
Riya- Adorable bula lu?
[Riya- Can I call you adorable then?]
Manik (annoyed)- Riya, it's the same thing.
Riya- Okay, okay. Neither cute nor adorable. Don't get angry now.
Manik- Leave it. Mujhe baat hi nahi karni hai tum se. Bye.
[Manik- Leave it. I don't want to talk to you. Bye.]
Riya- Acha acha suno to. Main tumhe pakka cute and adorable nahi bolungi. Promise.
[Riya- Okay, okay, listen. I will definitely not call you cute and adorable. Promise.]
Manik- You promise?
Riya- Yes, I promise. I won't call you cute and adorable.
Manik- To aur kya bologi?
[Manik- So what else will you say?]
Riya- So tumhara naam teddy bear hi rakh dete hain.
[Riya- So let's name you teddy bear only.]
Manik- Main phone rakh raha hoon Riya. Tumne kuch galat khaa liya hai aaj.
[Manik- I am ending the call, Riya. You have eaten something wrong today.]
(She laughs out loud as he gets annoyed but doesn't end the call.)
Riya- Aww, Manik. You are so sweet.
Manik- Mujhe baat nahi karni tum se. Bye.
[Manik- I don't want to talk to you. Bye.]
Riya- But Manik...
Manik- Bye.
(This time, he cuts the call, and she still keeps laughing. She calls him again, and he cuts the call, so she messages him.)
(Later in the evening, Riya reaches home and goes to the kitchen to eat something.)
Riya- Ek baar ghar aane do phir baat karenge ache se.
[Riya- Let him come home once, then we will talk properly.]
(Just then, the doorbell rings, and Riya shakes her head in disbelief.)
Riya- Aaj itni jaldi kaise free ho gaya koyi?
[Riya- How did someone get free so soon today?]
(She opens the door, but the person standing at the door leaves her shocked.)
