Ribika: - She said no. Dekeshi is her best friend because one day when she was tired from all

this and was about to jump from the terrace he somehow reached there and saved her from
falling. After it he took many counselling sessions to improve my mental health. But still this

iceberg stayed. Now in situations in which I am either extremely cheerful or extremely sad this
phenomenon happens with me.

Kasuke: - But what was your past? You can share it with me.

Ribika: - “Better if we don’t talk about it.”
(They went back to their rooms.)

Scene 3
Kasuke tried hard to contact Ribika but he was unable to do so. Sometimes he was busy with

his studies, sometimes Ribika was busy with her friends. Kasuke and Naomi became very good

friends in between because of Ribika.
But he was shocked when he came to know that Ribika is in hospital. That day he decided to

meet Ribika.
He reached the hospital. He asked the attendant about her room no and reached there. Kasuke

entered her room without knocking because he wanted to meet her so badly. When he entered
her room he saw she was drawing some sketches. Seeing Kasuke, she made an incomplete

effort to hide it like we used to do when we were kids. But Kasuke already saw that.

Kasuke: - “I was unaware of the fact that you are an artist.”
Ribika: - Not just the artist, I am smart too.

Kasuke: - Can I see your sketch?
Ribika: - No!

Kasuke: - Okay sorry and thank you.

Ribika: - Why sorry and thank you at the same time.
Kasuke: - sorry for asking about drawing and thank you for being such an awesome friend.

(Kasuke picked up his bag and started going away.)
Ribika: - “aren’t you going to say get well soon” are you so insensible.

Kasuke: - No! Because I know that you are a warrior and you will be back soon.

Kasuke went away. Ribika brought her sketch out from her bag. It was her and Kasuke. Kasuke

reaches his room and sees that there were multiple missed calls from Naomi. He called her
back.

Naomi: - “Ah! so finally someone remembered that I exist.
Kasuke: - No it’s nothing like that, I wasn’t well.
