They start playing…Shruti is the catcher for the first time…Deepak also joins them.. Shruti starts searching them…
Abhi was hiding under Ritika’s table…Ritika comes to her place and she is shocked to see Abhi there…She shouts…
Abhi : Hello…Please don’t shout..We are playing hide and seek…
By then Shruti comes there and asks Ritika whether she saw Abhi…Abhi signs Ritika to say no….Ritika shakes her head correcting her spectacles..Shruti moves from the place…
Abhi : Thank u for saving me yaar…
She just nodded…
Abhi : Cant u speak or what??
She did not see him..
Abhi : May I know ur name please??
She looks up…
Abhi : If u don’t want to say,its ok…
Ritika : I am Ritika…
Abhi : Nice name..I am Abhi..Abhijeet…
Ritika : (she did not take her eyes off the book she was studying) Hmmm…
(Ritika is a BCA graduate and she is doing her MBA in correspondence..She studies for it)
Abhi : (thinks) This girl is weird…
He moves from the place…
Its Sid’s turn and he tries to find his friends..Shruti by mistake enters into Arnav’s cabin…She hides there…Arnav gets angry on seeing her…
Arnav : What the hell are u doing here??
Shruti : Ssshhh…Don’t make noise..We are playing hide and seek…Sid is trying to find me…
Arnav : What non sense?? Is it office or park??
Shruti : What sir?? U are the boss and u don’t even know its an office???
Arnav : U just joked?? U want me to laugh??
Shruti stares at him…
Shruti : If u say anything,I will go and tell our secret…
Arnav : (wonders) What secret?? I think no secrets between us…
Shruti : U slipped and fell down on the floor nah?? Do u want me to say that??
Arnav : (jerks) No no…U do whatever…I wont ask anything…
He goes and sits in his place…Shruti smiles at him…
Shruti : (to herself) So cute…Adorable Singh Raizada…
Now its Abhi’s turn and he tries to find them…Sid and Swadhu are hiding together behind a door
Sid : Swadhu…U look so gorgeous today…
Swadhu : Are u trying to be romantic??
Sid : Ya…
Swadhu : Ohh…But it does not suit u…
Sid makes puppy face…
Swadhu : And remember what Abhi said..He told that we should concentrate on work..
Sid : Now that we don’t have work…
Swadhu :So what?? Its office…
He tries to come closer…They have an eyelock..By then Abhi sees both of them…He makes faces…He runs to find Shruti…He takes her to the place where Sid and Swadhu are hiding…
Shruti : Idiot Abhi…Why are u taking me here??
Abhi : Look at What ur friends are doing…
Sid and Swadhu did not see them…They were lost in each others eyes..
Shruti : Indecent fellow…Lets go from here…
Abhi : Hello…They are trying to irritate me…(to Sid and Swadhu) Hello…Love birds…I have caught u…Come out…
They come to senses…Both of them are embarassed…Swadhu blushes…
Shruti pulls and takes Abhi…
Abhi : This is why I refused to play hide and seek…If I have not gone to the place,they would have been standing there like this till tomorrow morning…U and ur stupid hide and seek idea!!!
Shruti : Cool down buddy…Its ok…Leave it…Let them have some privacy…And do u know why I said so?? We all love our childhood days…If I had given a chance,I would straightly go to my chidhood where I play with this idiot Sid…I just want to relive those memories…And that’s why I suggested this…It may be crazy…But what is wrong in being crazy?? If u are happy with something,u have to do it however crazy it may be…
Arnav heard all that Shruti said…He remembers Varsha..He feels like his head spinning and goes back to his cabin…
Abhi : Oh God..I wont say anything more…Thanks for ur lecture(sarcastically)..
All of them leave as it is 5 p.m…
SCENE-2
Shruti starts her scooty…She checks and finds her phone missing in her handbag..By then,her friends have gone…She goes to the office again …The security was turning on the other side and he did not see her going into the office..She gets the phone and turns to go…By then,she hears some murmuring sound coming from the gents rest room…She hesitantly goes there and gets shocked on seeing Arnav sitting leaning on the wall near the washbasin…He was feeling dizzy and was murmuring something..
The security checks the office and Arnav’s cabin…He thinks that everybody has left the office and so locked and went…Arnav and Shruti don’t know about it..
Shruti goes near Arnav and tries to wake him up…
Shruti : Oh God…What happened to him?? What to do now??(She remembers Vicky saying that Arnav gets low BP whenever he thinks of Varsha…She takes a candy and give it to him)
She helps Arnav to get up and make him sit…After few minutes,Arnav is okay…
Shruti : Are u alright?? Do u want something?? Water?? Coffee??
Arnav shakes his head…
Shruti : What happened to u??
Arnav : (thinks) Its because of what u said to Abhi…That reminded me of Varsha and I cannot stop recalling the terrible incident of my life…That is the moment she is gone from me…U remind me of her…Its all because of u…
Shruti : Hello…What are u thinking?? I asked what happened to u??
Arnav : Nothing…Who asked u to come here??
Shruti : I came to take my phone…And found u unconscious in washroom…
Arnav : Did I ask u to help me??
Shruti : Why?? Should I not help u?? What is the problem??
Arnav : U should not help me…Now get lost…
Shruti : Hello Mr.Raizada…I am not dying to help u…Oh God…This world will blame even if u do good for them..Disgusting…
She goes and tries to open the door…She widens her eyes…
Shruti : (to herself) Oh God…Its locked…How can we go out??
She goes to Arnav again…He stares at her…
Arnav : Now what? U have not completed ur fight yet?? U still have some more points to argue?? Tell them and go…
Shruti : Hello…Am I fighting with u?? u are the first one to act rude with me..Remember that…And for ur kind information,we are locked…We cant go out….
Arnav : (shocked) What?? Its all because of u…
Shruti : What did I do??
Arnav : Why did u come here??
Shruti : Are u deaf or what??(Arnav throws an angry look) I mean..I told u before na?? I came to take my phone…But now I am caught here because of u..Why did u murmur something?? Because of that only I came to see u…U are the reason…
Arnav : What non sense??
Shruti : Don’t start blaming me again…If I had not come,u would have been locked alone…Thank me that atleast u have me for company…
Arnav stares angrily…
Arnav : It would be better if I am alone than being with u..
Shruti widebs her eyes..
Shruti : Leave them aside…Now lets find a solution to go out…Its getting late…I have to go…Idea…Let me call Sid…(she sees her phone) Oh God…My phone is switched off…
By then it started raining heavily…Arnav tries calling the security…But he was not reachable…
Shruti : (herself)Oh God…Shruti…Why did u come to help him?? See its of no use..He is blaming u…U are caught here…Seems like u have to be here for the rest of the night…
Suddenly all lights get off..
Shruti : Powercut too…I don’t know what else is going to happen…
Arnav : Can u stop blabbering for sometime??Let me think of a solution…
Shruti smirks..
Shruti : Do something soon…I am hungry too…
Arnav throws a mean look…
Shruti : Ok ok…U think of the solution…I wont say anything…
She sings,”Sothanai mel sothanai podhumada saami.Vedhanai dhan vaazhkai endral thangadhu bhoomi”…(Oh God…U are giving me trouble after trouble…And its enough…If trouble is life,then this world will not exist)in a funny way…Arnav throws a stare…
(Suggest a hindi song for this situation guys)
Arnav : Can u hold this torch for a while??
Shruti : What are u going to do?? Search for treasure??
Arnav : Cant u keep quiet for a while??
Shruti purses her lips…They go to Arnav’s cabin and search for something…
Arnav : I think I have a spare key…I am searching for it…
Shruti : I did not ask u anything…I am quiet as u said…
Arnav stares at her…They get the key..
Arnav : Its here…
Shruti : Thank God…
They come out of the office…The rain had stopped slightly…They get on their vehicles and start them…But again rain had started…Arnav stops his bike and stands in the nearby bus stop…Shruti could not move further and she too stopped there…
Shruti : I wont go to him…If I go again,he will taunt me…
She stands in the rain…It started raining heavily and the road was empty…There was no one except the two of them…It was very dark because of power cut…Shruti was shivering in cold..
Arnav : (thinks) Why is she standing in the rain?? I think she thinks that I will scold her…i will Go and get her here…
Shruti was turning this side and A car came on the other side was about to hit her..Arnav pulls her…She hugs him tight…As she was shivering,she felt warm in his hug…After sometime,she comes away from him…
Shruti : Sorry…
Arnav : Are u mad or what??Why are u standing in rain??
Shruti : U scold me no?? That’s why…
Arnav : Idiot..I wont scold u for standing near me and all…
Shruti makes puppy face…
The rain stopped after sometime…Arnav asks Shruti to go first and goes following her…He sees her going inside her house…After ensuring her safety,he goes home..
PRECAP :
Shruti : Sid…He has asked me to meet me in the restaurant…
Sid : I think he is gonna propose u…
Shruti : U duffer…(smiles)
