Screen opens

Wailing of a child could be heard as Mrs aradhna raizaada was doing her best to calm her 4 days old grandson who was crying nonstop... her own eyes shedding silent tears in distress

Mr rajveer raizaada sai:
Mujhe lagta hai ke apko isse aik bar phir armaan ke paas Lai Jana chahiye...shayad Apne bete ke ansu dekh kar hi usse Kuch  hosh aa jaye

Aradhna(said in remorse):
Mai aur Rohan gaye  the Kal Raat ko...par usne na hi isse Lene ke liye baahe Aage barhai...aur na hi Nazar dali...4 din hogaye hai veer ji ...na armaan Kuch kha Raha hai or na Kuch bol Raha hai...wahan neetu ka BP control Mai hi nahi AA Raha...Bhai Sahab bhi  bohat pareshan hai ...aur aarohi , hamari aarohi pata nahi kis Haal Mai Hogi ...mujhe toh Kuch samajh Mai nahi AA Raha Mai Kya karu...(said pointing towards the baby who was tired of crying and now hiccuping )Kitne kush the hum iske aane ki kushi Mai...pata nahi kiski Nazar lag gayi hamari kushiyo ko

Rajveer (side hugged her and said determinedly ):
AP fikar mat kariye...hume pata hai kai ab Kya Karna hai

Screen shifts

A dark room was shown...the only source of light was coming from the projector on which a video was displayed

Girl :
"Hey future baby's dady...maybe when you will be seeing this video the baby will be in your arms(she said while caressing her big baby bump)you know what's today?(she asked excitedly)it is the beginning of my 9th month...and present you have gone to get an ice cream for me...actually we had that flavour in the freezer already but I forcefully send you off to get it at 12:30am at night because I had to make this video for you...and you literally don't leave me  alone for even a second...you know sometimes I doubt that you know that I am going...that's why you are always so worried and clinging to me all the time(she chuckled )...ok so now coming to the point ...this will be the last video I will be making for you...of course not for my baby...I will be talking with him till my last breath...and now please don't feel jealous by making a grumpy face ...because I will be not there to kiss it away...of course I love you the most as you came in my life before...(said dreamily)but you know armaan...a mother has a special love for her child whom she keeps for 9 months within herself ...and I have the same love for my Ryan...maybe more than that ...and yeah it's a boy...I got the ultra sound report but didn't shared it with you...(in a playful tone)actually I am a little jealous of you...you are so lucky ...you will hear his first cry...his face...his first step...his first word...you will spend your whole life with him...so I am being a little selfish and keeping it as a secret between me and my son...ahh...look my baby is also agreeing...he just kicked(her bright smile fades a little )umm...it's so awkward...I don't know how to start this conversation...you remember you used to tease me that I talk too much and no one  in this world can  stop my blabbering...while now we have something which can stop my 24 hour bickering...(she chuckled with moist eyes)I am dying(strained voice,then cleaned her tears )no it's not like that...the correct statement is I am giving my  baby his life...every mother does this...but the difference is only that I will not be able to see him breath...and it's not his fault...it's nobody's fault...it's just written in my faith....our story was up till here only...and we should accept it...we can't change our fate now...can we...but we can make more happy memories...and anyways I am leaving my junior behind to keep an eye on you for me...he will keep me updated,..I already made a video in which I told him how we will communicate...(she took a deep breath to blink back the tears)armaan...I know you will hate me after knowing the truth...but please try to understand my feelings as well...I can't live a happy life at the cost of my child's breathing...the doctor said my body can't conceive after this...it's a miracle that we both survived for nine months...but unfortunately we both can't live together in this world...one of us have to sacrifice...and I will not be lying when  I say that I didn't even once rethink my decision in all these months...I didn't told you because I knew you would oppose my decision...nobody knows this except aarohi...you know na I can't hide anything from her...she is my soulsister...the doctor insisted to tell you everything but I somehow convinced her...sounds much like a plan right(she tried to joke again,but then sighed tiredly)I just have a last wish and I  want you to fulfill it...(she spoke after an agonizing pause)
After my death you will marry aarohi...(a tear slipped)I don't want my Ryan to grow without a mother...and I know that no other woman can give my child a mother's love except her...I already had her swear upon myself...now I only want you to respect my wish and let my soul rest in peace there...(she tried to say in an authorized way)and I am just allowing you to cry for one day...not more than that...you will not cry for me but will remember me in your heart with a smile on your face...samajh gaye na...and if you missed me you just have to close your eyes....and I will be there in front of you...hmm...so I think it's enough of my rant now...it's a 30 minute video already...and present you must be on the way...so I am just going to say my good bye...but before going I have one more request...please take care of aarohi after me...I am not asking for the baby because I know you will...but you know na that aarohi is my first baby...she is not just my sister but a part of me...although she is mentally prepared but I know she will be as broken as you...so I want you both to heal each other and brought up my baby boy into a gentleman...just like his father...although I wish he has all my looks and personality(she laughed )okay now it's enough of my wish list ...at last I just want to say that I love you (she stared at the camera's screen with a broken smile for some time,then said just few words which were her undoing) maaf kardena apni Raina ko"
(She clasped a hand on her mouth to swallow her sob and ended the video)
