Shahid’s digs. Shahid returns. Preparing for bed, he retches and falls.

Riaz, disturbed by the noise, comes into his room, and is alarmed to see Shahid choking on his vomit. He picks him up and lays him to bed. Pulls down his trousers and covers him with a blanket.

Confused, Shahid calls out Riaz’s name. The latter hushes him to sleep.

When he sees Shahid finally asleep, he recites a prayer, cleans the room and slips out.
