(Zara is a psychiatrist and a good friend of Arjun....she will play a small but vital role in bringing the brothers close)
Zara: Let it out Arjun .....don't compress your feelings in your heart....I'm here for you....as your doctor and your friend....
Arjun: I can't Zara.... I can't take this pain anymore.... I feel my soul is trapped inside a cage....no matter how much I try to free myself from my past I just get deeper into it.....everytime I try to move forward and start a new chapter of my life..... something comes up from my past and I go back 100 steps backward..... I feel suffocated.... I feel I'm not able to breathe anymore... I have reached a stage where I cannot live this miserable life anymore nor can I die like a coward....but I'm tired....I'm tired....why everyday feels like a battle...
Zara: Take a deep breath Arjun....you need to stop.....stop punishing yourself.....stop blaming yourself ...just STOP.....you have kept too much inside you.....
Arjun with tears "I don't know what to do....I'm a failure Zara...a big zero....no one wants me....no one cares for me"
Zara: First of all stop regretting your past actions....bcz no matter what you cannot change the past....and regret will only destroy you.....whatever happened it was not in your hands.....your brother was forced to choose cross paths....it doesn't mean he doesn't love you....if he had any idea that your devil mother will torcher you....he would have fought for you....and you were also a child...what could you have done that you regret for not standing for your brother....it's been years but you are still there....the small kid never grew up and has held the past so tight...you have to move on Arjun....you have to make a new start in your life....and when you stumble I'm always there for you.
Arjun just gave a sad smile "you are the best psychiatrist in the world but for me you are my human diary"
Arjun returned home and went to take a cold shower....he leaned to the wall with his hands as cold water fell on his body, soul and heart....as flashes of his past striked him......
"YOU ARE A SIN....
YOU ARE MEANT TO BE TREATED LIKE A MONSTER.....
NO WILL LOVE YOU.....
YOU WILL ALWAYS REMAIN ALONE...."
Arjun "STOP..... STOP.....STOP.....STOP...STOP...."
PLEASE GO AWAY....
And closed his ears to shut those voices.... suddenly his breath hitched....he started breathing heavily....he somehow stopped the water and stumbled outside...and reached for the bed side drawer and took his pills to control his anxiety attack....
Arjun slowly calmed down but still his tears kept rolling down...
"I miss you Bhaiya"
Other side,
Veer was working in his cabin when the wind started gushing and the windows started to make noise....
Veer rushed towards the windows and with lot of struggle started closing them....when suddenly he heard "I miss you Bhaiya"
Veer colasped on the floor and burst out into tears as he could feel his brother's pain.
