(A room where we can hear the voice of boy,on and off through out the play.A hall where two sofas are placed and a mirror is hanged on the wall.Girl is sitting on sofa.She is looking nervous and confused.Psychiatrist comes from the room after inspecting the patient.Girl rushes towards him.)
Girl:What does he say now?
Psy:What exactly he always say.
Girl:No improvement?
Psy:No.
Girl:(Confusingly)Oh...(starts biting her nails)
Psy:Can we talk for a moment?
Girl:(Acknowledging the psychiatrist's presence,quits biting nails)Yes...Well,have a seat.
Psy:(Sits opposite to her)According to you,it's been a few months that he is showing such abnormal symptoms.
Girl:(Gravely)Yes.
Psy:You're afraid he might loose his senses?
Girl:(Approvingly nods head)
Psy:Very well,then.
(A Pause)
Psy:What according to you that phase means?
Girl:(Who is lost in her thoughts.Suddenly reacts)Huhh?..what?I couldn't hear.I am so-
Psy:Betrayal?
Girl:(Confusingly)What?
Psy:Do you think your husband loved somebody else than you and got betrayal in that love?
Girl:No!How can you say so?
Psy: Apparently,it seems so.I think he loved a girl who was unfaithful to her and now he has made his own imaginary world where he sees her pure and faithful.
Girl:That's why he always repeats life could be better if your hands join mine
(Off stage boy's voice-Hearts love every time,what a life,if minds could combine)

Girl:Another woman?...Oh!stop it!Nonsense!Impossible!
Psy:It can be possible.
Girl:Shut up!He can never do this to me.Don't insult his love for me.I trust him blindly.It can never happen!Never!
Psy:Perhaps that girl is one of your friend or cousin or any close relatives?
Girl:(Standing from sofa):Fuck!Get lost!Go!Leave me alone!
Psy:I won't!
Girl:(Indignantly) What do you want?
Psy:(Calmly)To know truth...

Girl:(Embarrassingly)No!no!you're lying!You're not in your senses.
Psy:Really?!Oh!Confess!Confess that you've driven him mad!You're his noble love and his disgust,too.He is insane because the girl he married is insane.Yes.You hate him madly and passionately.
