Vivek (shocked and stunned): Did he just - did he just save my life? (Angrily, points the gun
towards terrorist 1) It’s over for you now! (Gunshot)

Avika (crying): Grandpa, save him please grandpa.

Vivek: I won’t let him die, Avika, I promise!

-------The army reaches the park and the medical team take Vivek and Roger for dressing of
their wounds in the ambulance, where the doctors perform immediate surgery on Roger to
take out the bullet and dress Vivek’s wound. The doctor walks towards Avika------

Doctor: You are a very brave girl Avika, and your little friend loves you a lot. He made it,
he’s alive, go on into the ambulance, he’s waiting for you.

Avika (running into the ambulance, hugs Roger as he is resting on a stretcher): Roger, hi!
Someone’s going to get all of my waffles for a whole month. (Breaks down) Thank you for
saving Grandpa, Roger.

---------Vivek enters the ambulance-------

Vivek: He did Avika, Roger did save me today and I realized why you love him so much. I
am sorry for being so harsh on him dear.

Avika- It’s okay grandpa, you can buy him a waffle tomorrow!

-----Vivek chuckles, he pats Roger on his head. Roger looks at him with tear filled eyes.
Avika hugs Vivek and gives Roger a forehead kiss. The ambulance’s gates close and they are
finally taken home-----

END.
