Ahmed: Yeah they are. They are in much better shape than you are so please just calm down!
(Ranveer calms down)
(Ranveer lies back down on the table)
Ranveer (In pain): Why did you treat me?
Ahmed: Well you were the person who saved my life, so...
Ranveer (Confused): When did I save you?!
Ahmed: Oh I am actually one of the people who were captured by Head.
(Ranveer's confusion gets cleared out)
Ahmed: By the way, you had a wound on your back. It was already stitched but I think due to the fight the wound opened up again. So I re-stitched it.
Ranveer: I see!
Ahmed: By the way! What's your age?
Ranveer: I am 17. What do you ask?
(Ahmed gets shocked and stands up from his chair)
Ahmed: 17?!
Ranveer: Do I look like an old man?
Ahmed: Well no, but I thought that you were at least 20!
Ranveer: Whatever!
Ahmed: Hey! Your friends outside we're very worried, especially those three girls.
(Ranveer looks in the direction in which Ahmed points and sees Akshay, Samar, Tania, Sara, Sana and Samaira.)
Ranveer: Worried?! Trust me they don't care about what happens to me! Heck! One of them even wants to kill me.
(Ahmed looks at Ranveer)
Ahmed: Those three girls were crying when you got shot!
(Ranveer gets a bit taken aback)
Ranveer: I don't know what to say to that!
Ahmed: I will go inform them that you are awake.
(Ahmed goes outside the diner)
Ranveer (Thinking): Those girls were worried?!
(Ranveer lightly smiles)
Ranveer (Thinking): Wait!! Why the hell am I smiling at the thought of them worrying about me?!
(Ranveer covers his mouth with his other hand)
(As he does that Many people enter the diner)
Tia: Big brother!! You're awake!
(Ranveer looks at Tia and says)
Ranveer: Hey you are that girl! Are you alright?!
Tia: Yes! Let's play big brother!
(A lady in her late 20's comes near Tia and says)
Lady: Tia! Let big brother rest he's tired!
(Tia sulks a bit)
Tia: Okay!
(The lady looks at Ranveer and says)
Lady: Thank you! Thank you so much!! You saved my daughter! No, you and your friends saved all of us!
(Ranveer gets taken aback)
(The people behind her said)
Person(1): Exactly! If it weren't for you guys we would've become slaves of those people!
Person(2) (Crying): Those beasts tortured my daughter. Thank you for avenging my daughter!
(Everybody started to thank Ranveer and the others)
(Ranveer and everybody gets a bit taken aback)
(After thanking Ranveer and the others everybody goes outside the diner)
Akshay: Well you became a hero for those people, didn't you?
Tania: Yeah those people seem to look up to you!
Samar: How is your wound?!
Ranveer: Well this is my first bullet wound! So I am not sure what to think. I think it will heal in no time though!
Akshay: You know that girl thinks you're some sort of superhero.
Ranveer: Let her believe what she wants to! It's not going to change the fact that I am nothing more than a person who has blood on his hands!
Tania: Can you stop saying such dark things, that said you have changed a lot! Well, get some rest!
(Tania and Akshay start to leave the diner)
Samar: You've gone back to your original self, haven't you?
(Ranveer's eyes widen up)
Ranveer (With cold eyes): You promised that we will never talk about that!
(Samar gets a bit scared)
(Samar calms down and says)
Samar: I know but even you know that the situation has changed.
(Ranveer clicks his tongue)
Tania: Samar! Let's go!
(Samar listens to Tania and goes towards them)
(As soon as Tania, Akshay and Samar go out of the diner Sara, Sana and Samaira enter it)
(They walk towards Ranveer)
Sara (Worried): How are you feeling right now?
(Ranveer looks at Sara's face)
Ranveer (Thinking): She really does look worried.
(Ranveer was about to have a slight smile on his face)
Ranveer (Thinking): Stop!! Stop!!! Don't you dare smile Ranveer!!! Just calm down!
(Ranveer turns his face away from Sara)
Ranveer: I am fine!
(The direction at which he had turned his head he saw Sana standing there)
(Sana touched his face)
Sana (Worried): Your face looks a bit red and you're kind of warm.
(Ranveer turned away from her and said)
Ranveer (Thinking): Damn it! Was she worried too?! Why am I smiling even now?! I mean this girl wants to kill me! Just calm down!! Calm down Ranveer!
Ranveer: You're just imagining it! I feel just fine.
(Samaira touches Ranveer's head to check his temperature)
Samaira (Worried): You do feel a bit warm. I think you should take medicine and rest up!
Ranveer (Thinking): This is the worst!! Was I always so fickle to have just fallen for girls who would be worried about me?! Wait!! Fallen??!! Maybe I am just not feeling like myself! I should just take the medicine and fall asleep!
Ranveer: Fine! But before that, I need you guys to lock up the whole mall!
Sana: Why though?
Sara: The gunshot might've attracted some zombies to come in this direction!
Samaira: You're right!
(The girls inform everyone in the mall to lock up the mall and everybody does that)
(After taking the medicines Ranveer fell into a deep sleep and shortly after that the sun had set)
(Sana, Sara and Samaira were still in the diner and Akshay, Samar and Tania had fallen asleep outside the diner)
(Sana, Sara and Samaira look at Ranveer sleeping)
Sana: This person is crazy!!
Samaira: You're right! He has fought thugs! More than 30 zombies single-handedly, jumped out of a building, he even fought a group of armed bandits-
Sara: And has been shot and guess what even that wasn't able to bring him down! He has already done such crazy things! I do wonder what he will do in the future.
Sana: You're right!
Samaira: Look at him right now! He looks so defenceless.
Sara: You're right! Normally he is always on guard!
Sana: Hey you remember what he said today to Samar!
(Mimicking Ranveer)
Samaira: 'Heroism doesn't matter in survival!'
(All three of them laugh lightly so that they do not wake up Ranveer)
Sara: You know he said that but he did do some heroic things today, didn't he?
Sana: I was just about to say that! I mean he saved about 30 people and that little girl! Did anyone see how he did it?!
Samaira: I couldn't I was so scared that I even closed my eyes!
Sara: Me too!
Sana: He must be really good at using a gun! I mean I've already seen his skills but still! Anyway, that girl thinks that Ranveer is some sort of superhero!
Sara: Oh I am sure that tomorrow when someone asks him about it he will say that he only wanted to kill the thugs because they attacked him first, the people being saved was just a bonus!
Sana: Looking at him like this I noticed that he's not that bad looking.
Samaira: Woah! I thought you wanted to kill him.
Sara: In the beginning, she did but she found out that he killed her uncle out of need!
Sana: Yeah, you don't know about it, do you?
Samaira: Actually...I do. That night I had heard everything but Ranveer threatened me to not say anything to you!
Sana: Well since all of us already know then let's not tell him that I already know okay?
(Sara and Samaira agreed to what Sana said and nodded their heads)
Sara: You know he has saved our lives many times already!
Sana: You're right!
Samaira: You know for some reason it feels like he is always trying to prove something!
Sara: Maybe he is and if that's the case I would like to know. Why he's trying so hard!
Sana: Maybe something happened in his past.
Samaira: Maybe you're right!
Sana: What do you think would've happened to us if we had never met him!
Samaira: I don't even want to imagine being ravaged by those beasts again!
Sara: She's right! Maybe we would've been dead by now!
Sana: Yeah! We do owe him a lot!
(All three of them look at Ranveer)
Samaira: Well! Are you guys going to sleep here?!
Sara: Yeah I will. I am too lazy to go anywhere right now!
Sana: Me too!
Samaira: Fine I guess I will just switch off the lights.
(Samaira switches the diner's light)

(Ranveer looks around him and sees Sana, Sara and Samaira we're sleeping with their heads and hands on the table on which Ranveer was sleeping)
Ranveer (Thinking): Why are they here?
(Ranveer looks at their sleeping faces)
Ranveer (Thinking): It would be an understatement to say that they are only pretty! They must've been very famous in their colleges.
