In the evening
Location: Aditi 's make up room

Aditi had no more scenes to shoot but she didn't want to leave because she had something in mind. And something was how to apologize to zain.

She scurried all over the room thinking what to say and how to say.

She had been doing this for the last 15 minutes but failed to get an idea.

Finally she thought of something and went to the mirror. She started speaking to the mirror assuming it as zain -

Zain dekho i know that I was rude but I am not actually rude.

Sounds more like a justifying statement rather than an apology. Think aditi aditi u can do it.

Haan yeh kaise rahega ( let's try this)

Look zain i am sorry

Yeh tho pehle wale se bhi bura hai. Aisa lag raha hai ki mein usse sorry bol nahi phenk rahi hu.(This sounds worse than the before one. It looks like I am showing off my attitude)

Oh god ! Kabhi socha nahi tha kisise sorry bolna itna mushkil hoga mere liye.( I never thought saying sorry to someone would be this difficult for me)

Ok now no more rehearsals I will go straight away and tell him everything which is in my mind. This will be the best solution.

Zain's make up room

Aditi went inside the room to see it empty Zain wasn't inside because he was shooting a scene. Aditi was in his room for the first time. She started scanning the room. It was so neat and tidy which she did not expect from him at all. There were some pictures of him on the walls which were gifted to him by his fans when he was doing other shows. He had brought them to decorate his room to get a feeling that it was 'his'. Aditi was actually thinking how much of efforts the fans put in doing all these edits and sending all the gifts. She never got such gifts from fans when she was doing her previous shows. That is obvious because she was not the lead in those shows. After seeing zain's room Aditi thought that some day in future her room would be like this.

She was lost in her thoughts when she heard the door squeak.

She turned around to see Zain in Neil's attire with formal shirt and a vest on top of it. This was the first time she noticed how dashing and handsome he looks in that attire.

Zain was surprised to see Aditi in his make up room. He wondered what could be the reason behind her presence in his make up room but he chose to keep silent and let her speak as she is the one who came to his territory.

There was three hundred seconds of silence after which Aditi spoke

A: Zain, Do u have some time? I want to talk to u.

Zain was curious to know what she had to talk to him so he ignored everything that had happened two days ago and chose to listen to her.

Z: Yeah! My scenes are done. So I am free now.

A: Zain actually I have been trying to talk to u for the last two days. But u kept ignoring me. I know the reason behind it.

Z: (raising his brows)Ohh! U know the reason? So what do u want to say?

A: What I wanted to say is (sighs) sorry zain. I know that I was rude to u that day two years back if u remember and for the last few days also. But trust me I am not a rude person it is just that I misunderstood u and judged u for no reason since our meeting at production office. Pls accept my apology.

Zain did not expect this coming from her. He was actually taken aback by her words.

Zain's pov
I thought that she was rude and argumentative but what I am seeing now is different. Is she Aditi or someone else? She just apologized to me for that incident which happened two years ago. I thought that she wouldn't care for other's feelings and emotions. But I was wrong. Totally wrong.
Zain's pov ends

Z:(scratching his forehead) Are u serious right now? After what all u did u expect me to forgive u?

Aditi's face became pale she hadn't expected this from Zain after what she saw in the afternoon she thought that Zain is a sensible person. But this reply of Zain made her shiver.

Zain noticed Aditi's condition and started laughing at her leaving Aditi confused.

Z: look at your face Aditi. Anyone can fool u so easily. I was joking yaar.

A: Mein yaha itni seriously baat karne Rahi hi aur tumhe mazak suj Raha hai? Wait! Iska matlab tune mujhe maaf kar diya?(I am speaking seriously and u r trying to make a fool out of me? Wait! Does that mean u have forgiven me?)

Z: Haan meri maa kar diya maaf. ( Yes indeed)

A: (with her ever so bright smile) Thank u so much Zain. I didn't think u would accept my apology this early.

Z: I too didn't think that u would apologize to me.

A: What do u mean?

Z: I mean after that incident at college I thought of u as a rude and disrespectful person. That's y I wasn't expecting an apology from u.

A: I told u na I am not that rude. Whatever the reason may be I should not have insulted u that day. I am over protective about my sister.

Z: Acha! Waise mein puch Sakta hu us rudeness ke peeche ka reason kya tha?
(Ohh! Can I ask u something? What was the reason behind it rudeness that day?)

A: Chodo na Zain ab purani baaton Ko kyu beech mein Lana?( Leave na what's the point in bringing up old things now)

Z: Mujhe sirf jaanna tha tum kis baat ko leke aise judge kar Rahi thi mujhe. Kise Patha wo bhi koi misunderstanding ho Sakti haina? ( I just wanted to know the reason behind ur judging fiasco. Who knows that could also be a misunderstanding na?)

A: ok then I will tell the reason.

Precap:
Z: So friends?

A: friends? Tumne Aisa kaise soch Liya ki ek sorry bolne ke Baad mein tumhari friend ban jaaungi?
