As Aman was driving, another idea formed in his mind. Yes, he had indeed asked for forgiveness and also to be friends but there was still something bothering him. Then it struck him. If they really were going to start all over again, why not from the place where everything began.
Roshni closed her eyes feeling the soft and cool wind touching her face from the window which was slightly opened. In no time she was asleep. She dreamt about the day she had first met Aman and all their subsequent meetings after that, their marriage, their night in Kaala Jungle and then the memories of the previous day. She smiled in her sleep, reminiscing all of those memories. Aman looked at her to find her sleeping with a smile on her face. 'How is she so cute even in her sleep'? he wondered. He could feel the build up of an irresistible urge to hold her in his arms forever and never let go. 'Control Aman, control' he said to himself. He decided to focus on his driving again.
After a while, he reached the place he intended to go to. It was quite empty except for a few cars as it was work hours. He looked to his side to see Roshni still sleeping peacefully like a small baby, with the same smile on her lips. He reached his hand out to try and wake her up but then stopped thinking about ruining her sleep. He decided to wake her up in the end. He tapped her arm and called her name. She woke up and asked confusedly 'Allah knows best, when did you come out of my dream?' Aman blushed internally by the fact that she was smiling in her sleep while dreaming about him. Then she awoke fully and looked around at the surroundings. She recognised the place but was confused as to why they were there.
It was the same Dargah where they had met for the first time. She smiled to herself remembering how she crashed into his car, offered him naankhatai as a bribe and argued with him on why his car was parked. 'Why are we here Khanbaba?' 'To make things right properly. I know that I have asked for forgiveness and we are friends now but I thought why not start again from where it all began he answered. Roshni was touched and also surprised. Again for what seemed like the 100th time since the last few days she had spent with him. He had been surprising her nonstop in ways she had never imagined him to.
(Title song instrumental plays in the background.)
He held out his hand and said 'Hi, I'm Aman.'
She took it and said 'Hi, I'm Roshni.'
They went inside still holding hands and offered their prayers, looking at the other when their eyes were closed and smiling.
Another bud bloomed on the Nargisi tree.
Raakh jinn saw it and thought about her next plan.
Love was blooming and danger was nearing.
