Ruby and Sanjita talk about why she lied all these years. It was because of fear of Kash…she gave up her happiness because she was scared of the consequences. Ruby promises that she will never tell Kash. Marcus calls around.
INT. SINGH'S HOUSE - DAY
Ruby and Sanjita are alone in the house. The pair are having a conversation.
Sanjita: How are you coping love?
Ruby: I feel as tough my heart has been ripped apart...I dont know if I can cope mom...
Sanjita: Of course you will...I know it's a shock...but you will get over it...I promise you...
Ruby: Why did you never tell me mom!? If I'd know I could have saved myself all this heartache!
Sanjita: It wasn't in your best intrests to know...
Ruby: Why not!? What could have been so wrong in knowing who my real father is!? All these years I have had to put up with **** from Dad... but I havent had to listen he's said!!!
Sanjita: I just couldn't...
Ruby: Why not!? Why did you keep this a secret all these years!? I had a right to know! So did Iqbal!
Sanjita: Because I was scared what would happen
Ruby: You've never loved Dad so why would you care if he'd divorced you?...You could have been with Iqbal and had the life you've always wnated...
Sanjita: It wasn't as simple as that... too many people would have got hurt....Iqbal was married...and if me and Kash split up I would have brought shame on the family...I wouldnt have been able to live in India...
Ruby: So you stay with a man you hated.... you sacrified your future hapiness becuase you was scared of the consequences!?
Sanjita: Yes!
Sanjita starts to cry. Ruby comforts her.
Ruby: And what about now? Are you going to tell Dad?
Sanjita: Are you serious!? He'd kill me...
Ruby: No he wouldnt...I think he'd prefer the truth...and then you and Iqbal can have the future you've always wanted...
The doorbell rings. Sanjita jumps to live and whipes the tears away. She gets up to answer the door. In walks Marcus. Ruby has a look of unhapiness about her when she sees him enter the longue.
Ruby: Marcus...
Sanjita: I'll leave you two it...you need to sort out your problems...
