Ranveer wanted to enter the temple but he wasn't.
Ranveer: shesh naahi ke liye aapne sadiyon ke kiye wade ko nhi tod sakta main
He turns back to go.
Ranveer: par shesh naagin.
He then starts walking towards the temple.

Here Rishab was looking at the door.
Seema: kya hua beta
Rishab: kuch nhi ma
One staff member comes running inside.
Staff: Rishab baba woh.... Woh pratha ji ghar ke picche behosh padi hui hai(remember mehak)
Rishab: kya
Everyone gets up.
Rishab runs to the backside of house and sees pratha fallen down.
Dadi: heyy bhagwan pratha yaha aise kaise
Rishab takes her in his arms and all goes Inside the house.
Rishab makes her lay on the hall sofa.
Seema: koi doctor ko bulao
Chachu calls doctor.
Khushi: bhabhi aaj suabah se bohat kaam kar rahi thi jaruri thaak ke gir gyi honge
Ritesh: par ghar ke picche wale hisse main kyu gyi thi pratha
Rishab:(in mind) pata nhi ab kya karna chahati thi yeh ladki

Ranveer was walking towards the temple and whole whether turned cloudy.
Ranveer enters the temple and the temple bells starts. He closed his ears with his hand
Ranveer: now that I have entered I can't go back
He goes to the pandit.
Ranveer tells the pandit something and the pandit goes behind to the shiv murati and brings something is a bag and gives to Ranveer
Pandit: dhyan rakhna jise yeah de rahe ho isse pine ke baad us insaan ko dhoop se dur rakhna
Ranveer takes it and goes to his car.
Ranveer: sheesh naagin tumhari jaan bachna meri mazburi hai aur yeah akhri baar hai main tumhari Jan bacha raha hoon
He then drives his car back to Gujral house

Here Doctor comes and checks on Pratha(Mehak)
Doc:(to Rishab) tension ki baat nhi haii yeah bas behosh hui hai shyad jyada kaam aur badti garmi ke karan par maine medicine de di hai aap unhe time peh de dena
Rishab: ji doctor
Doctor leaves
And he sits near Pratha (Mehak).
Seema:Rishab tu yahi reh iske pass humri jarurat pade toh bula lena
Rishab: ji maa

All lefts the room. And comes downstairs.
Dadi: bohat jyada kaam karti hai pratha
Chachi:pehle naukar thi na shyada isliye (she realises what she said) mera matlab kaam karne ki aadat ho gyi hogi usse
Seema: samjh gyi tum kya kehna chahte ho
Ranveer enters the house and sees everyone so hides the bag behind his back
Khushi sees him
Khushi: bhai aap kaha se aa rahe hai
Ranveer: woh kaam se bahar gya tha
Khushi: bhai aapko pata hai pratha bhabhi behosh ho gyi thi par ab doctor unhe check kiya woh theek hai
Ranveer:(confused) pratha
Chachi: haa ghar ke piche behosh ho gyi thi
Ranveer: achha.... ohh...ab theek hai woh
Khushi: haa theek hai bass abhi tak unhe hosh nhi aaya
Ranveer:(in mind) in logo ko jarur woh dusri naagin mili hogi par mujhe upar jana haii kaise jao
Ranveer: main dekh ke aata hoon
And he goes up but instead of going to Rishab room walks to his room and opens the door and sees pratha lying their.
He closes his door and sits near her.
Ranveer: pata hai tumhe dekh ke bura toh bohat lag raha hai tumhari yeah halat I know ki tum itne se marogi nhi kyuki tum shesh naagin hoo aur tumhe tumhre shiv ji bacha lenge par dekhoo aaj woh savbhagya mera haii aaj tumhe main baccha raha hoon par main vada karta hoon yeah akhri baar hai
He takes out that bag thing and adds it in glass and then adds water in it.
Ranveer makes her drink the kada.
Ranveer: jaldi se theek ho jao kyuki main nhi chahta ki main tumhe tumhri kamzoor halat main ladu

He stands and walks to the moon.
Ranveer: pata hai pratha humri Dushmani aaj ki nhi haii tumhe jarur yaad nhi hogi par mujhe yaad hai pratha ek samay tha pratha jab sab theek tha par tum naag vasiyo ne sab bighad diya aaj main wapas aaya hoon toh bass tum se tumri naaglok se badla lene mujhe yeah baaki asuro se farak nhi padta par shukriya hoon in gujral parivar ki inke wajah se aaj tum aur main itne kareeb hai.
He smiles evily. And then goes out from his door locking it back. He comes to Rishab room and sees Rishab sitting on table and looking something. He knocks the door.
Rishab: bhai aap
He comes to Ranveer.
Ranveer: kya kar raha tha
Rishab: kuch nhi bhai bass todha kaam ka dekh raha tha
Ranveer: pratha kaisi haii
Rishab: theek hi hai abhi tak hosh nhi aaya
Ranveer: chal mere sath
Both walks to the balcony.
Ranveer: ab bata kyu itna pareshan hai
Rishab: bhaii kya hi batau bohat kuch ho gya hai kuch samjh nhi aa raha hai
Ranveer: tune pratha se shaadi kyu ki tu toh Reem se pyar karta tha na
Rishab: bhai pratha joh dekha rahi hai woh hai nhi aur mujhe na uss peh bilkul bharosa nhi hai aur main uski shaadi Ritesh se nhi hone de sakta tha
Ranveer: jaruri nhi haii agar pratha ajeeb ho iska matlab woh buri hi ho Rishab mujhe toh bilkul ajeeb nhi lagi matlab humse alag jarur hai par buri nhi haii tu toh janta bhi nhi hai Rishab woh kitna bada kam kar rahi haii
Rishab looks puzzled.
Ranveer: mera matlab pura ghar ka kaam sambhalti hai dadi ko bhi company deti haii, maa ke dost hi ban gyi haii aur khushi ki toh favourite hai wohh mujhe yaha aake 2-3 din hi hui but main usse samjh gya tu bhi try kar
He pats Rishab shoulder and leaves from there.

Ranveer comes to his room and sees his bed empty.
Ranveer: shit pratha kaha gyi yeah---
The bathroom door opens and pratha comes out.
Ranveer: pratha(he takes a breath of relief) tum theek ho na
Pratha looks at him.
Pratha: main yaha kaise aayi
Ranveer: wohh I'm sorry tum behosh ho gyi thi aur ghar peh koyi tha nhi sab bahar busy the so main tumhe apne room main le aaya
Pratha looks at his hand it was bleeding now.
Pratha: yeah aap ka haath se khoon
She makes him sit.
Pratha: medicine box kaha hai
Ranveer: pratha main kar lunga
Pratha; maine kya pucha
Ranveer: wohh drawer ke andar
Pratha takes the medicine box and starts cleaning the blood but it wasn't stoping
Pratha: yeah khoon aana band kyu nhi hoo raha hai
Ranveer: pratha (he places his hand on her) yeah band nhi hoga issa samjh lo yeah koyi wada todne ki punishment hai
Pratha looks at his hand her heartbeat raised hard.
Both were looking at eachother pratha looks down and sees the blood stopped.
Pratha: ruk gya

Pratha: aree khoon aana band ho gya haii
And she's cleans the blood and ties his hand.
Pratha: ohh noo
Ranveer: kya hua ab
Pratha:
Pratha stands and walks out of room.
Pratha: hath se jyada kam mat karna abhi rest dena
Ranveer had an unknown smile on his face.

Pratha comes to her room and sees pratha(Mehak) lying there.
She closes the door.
Pratha: didii
Mehak opens her eyes.
Pratha:didi aap theek hoo
She makes her sit. Mehak comes her in her form
Pratha: dii aap aise behosh
Mehak:pratha I don't know main yaha kaise aayi aur main tere besh main?
Pratha looks confused too.
Suddenly someone knocks the door.
Both looks at the door.
Mehak: main yaha se jati hoon tu dhyan rakhna apna
Mehak goes from there.
Pratha goes and opens the door Rishab was standing there.
Rishab: tum theek ho pratha? Aur tumne darwaza kyu band kiya tha aise halat main

Rishab makes her sit and gives her medicine.
Rishab: tum behosh ho gyi thi na yeah dwai lo chup chap
Pratha looks at him and confused by his behaviour.
She takes the medicine.Rishab sits beside her.
Rishab: sorry pratha
She looks at him.
Rishab: I know maine tumhre sath bohat bura kiya aur tumhe kabhi samjhne ki koshish tak nhi ki par ab lagta hai mujhe karni chahiye.
He keeps his hand on her.
