JUHI
That's right.
NITIN
So, I have finalised my decision about my marriage.
In the meantime, Nitin's parents and one of his aunties enter the drawing room. Sona became perplexed by seeing them. It's her first husband, whom she met after twenty-five years. Jagat also feels very uncomfortable seeing Sona.
JAGAT
No, I will not allow my son's marriage to this girl.
NITIN
Why father? What happened?
JAGAT
(Angrily)
No reason. I won't be able to stand here
For this girl and her family, for a moment. Don't ask me further about this. My decision will not change.
Anit and Sona become humiliated.
SONA
Let's move now. We are also not interested any more.
Nitin looks at his father angrily.
NITIN
Why are you insulting them, my father?
JUHI
Nitin, I don't expect this type of nonsense behaviour from your father. I am also closing all the relationships with you today.
ANIT
Come, Juhi. Don't tell me to come here again. I am really frustrated.
Anit, Sona, and Juhi leave the room hurriedly.
2. EXT. IN CAR NIGHT
Anit is driving the car towards home.
SONA
This is Jagat, my ex-husband. He has not changed his bad behaviour. I am scared in my mind what the condition of Juhi will be to become a member of this family.
ANIT
I understood the facts. I am not going to spoil my daughter's life. I will see to it that Juhi gets the perfect marriage proposal now and arrange for her marriage immediately.
JUHI
Give me some time, father.
SONA
Listen, Juhi, you can set your mind for some time. But, we will send you some other places to change your mind. Just forget and forgive Nitin.
JUHI
I will not go anywhere without you and your father. I am so confused and my brain is not working now.
The car is parked in the neighborhood, and all three of them enter their home.
3. INT. NITIN'S HOME NIGHT
Nitin is arguing with his parents, and his parents have no mood to listen to him.
NITIN
If you're not allowing my marriage with Juhi, don't tell me about it again. I am not going to get married again.
JAGAT
Don't irritate me Nitin. I have told you once, no, that's no and it is my final decision.
DOLA
Stop Nitin. Don't argue with your father unnecessarily. He will always be there for you. There is a reason why he does not agree with you.
NITIN
You don't understand my mind. I love Juhi and I would like to marry her. I know, I will be happy with her. So, what is the problem?
JAGAT
I am not ready to answer your question. Yet, I am telling you, I will choose a beautiful girl from a cultured family who will be better than your past love.
NITIN
That's absolutely not possible. I cannot stop myself from marrying my lover.
JAGAT
I also don't want you to meet with the girl anymore. I will be very tough on you otherwise.
Nitin exits from the home unpleasantly.
DOLA
Nitin has stepped out. Now, tell. Me Jagat, what is the reason behind your refusal?
JAGAT
Don't ask me, I've had horrible experiences with her.
DOLA
Who is she? Is she your ex-wife?
JAGAT
Yes, you have understood finally. After my divorce from her, she is married for a second time. That is why I am not interested in moving ahead with the proposal.
DOLA
But, Juhi is Nitin's love. How will we solve his problem? But, I am asking you, what is the wrong with this? Don't worry about it, just leave it to me and I will manage it.
JAGAT
Sona and I cannot be friends. I dislike her.
DOLA
Why are you worried about this? She may have already forgotten the bitter facts of twenty five years ago. AI have also told you that you will no longer be involved.
JAGAT
Don't try to convince me. I will be the final decision maker in Nitin's marriage. Tell Nitin that he should drop his plan to marry Juhi.
DOLA
You can't make your only son unhappy. Your blunt decision has already hurt him.

DOLA

JAGAT
Angrily
Please don't take Nitin's side against me. You don't know me, I will force you to leave home. No, Nitin will not marry Juhi. I will punish Juhi if she tries to meet my son.
Dola became furious and left Jagat.
4.INT RESTAURANT DAY
Nitin is sitting alone in a restaurant, drinking tea and calling to Juhi to connect her. But, no response from the other side. Nitin looks frustrated.
NITIN
Hello Juhi, Hello Juhi!
NITIN
Hello, Hello
The two friends meet him, but he is in a sad mood.
PRASUN
You look so frustrated, Nitin. What's happened to you? I have never seen you so pale before.
NITIN
No matter, Prasun. I am just thinking.
PRASUN
Nothing happened. So, let's take a break together.
NITIN
Not now friend. I will step out occasionally. You have fun and enjoy.
RAKESH
Have you ever broken up with your lover? Tell us, we will try to solve your problem.
NITIN
Laughing without any sound.
No, no. It's working well. Do you have tea, coffee?
RAKESH
No, no. We have just finished drinking tea.
PRASUN
Okay. Nitin, we are leaving now. Please let us know if you need any assistance. Bye.
