Khaani Reboot

You were right, all along

Hamza points a gun on Sanam's sister's forehead, forcing her to come out of the house to the frontyard. All the guests are horrified and some even start leaving.

Sanam finally comes out, her face as expressionless as a stone, with her mother panicking.

"Mere saath chalo abhi varna..." Hamza clenches his jaw and emphasizes the gun pointing at Sara.

"Chalo." Sanam gives up, without a second thought.

Hamza leaves Sara and points the gun on Khaani's head while both walk to his car. They leave with all the guards making sure no one retaliates.

Khaani's mother immediately call Junaid after they've left.

Hamza drives up a deserted area and parks the car in the ground. He had instructed his guards to remain on the road so he could talk to her one-on-one.

"Khaani...." He lets out a sigh after pulling her out of the car.

"Tsk Tsk Tsk..tumhein aur tumhare hone vaale shohar ko andaza bhi nahi hai ke tum logo ne kitna bada jurm kar diya hai." He leans against his car, with pistol in hand, waiting to shoot any time.

Thoughts start racing in Khaani's head. Did something happen to Hadi? Did he do something? Did he hurt himself? But she doesn't budge from her stone expression.

"Aik baat zehen mein bitha lo Sanam. Agar Hadi ko sazaa ho gayi toh main tumhari aur tumhare shohar ki sari agli pichhli pushtein mitaa dunga, aur fir tum dono ko marunga." His eyes red and wide with anger.

"Haan khatam karo, maardo mujhe. Tumhare bhai se pyaar karne ki sazaa mujhe maut hi milni chahiye, jo maine aik khooni se pyaar kiya-." She doesn't fear the gun any more.

"-Khooni nahi hai woh!!!! Aur-aur kya bola, pyaar?" He scoffs and then laughs. "Yeh pyaar hai tumhara?!" He wipes his tears and opens something on phone and throws on the ground in sand towards her.

Khaani can't figure out the video playing out on the phone due to tears blurring her eyes. She tightly closes and opens her eyes to see. It's a dashcam footage. She recognizes Sarim and immediately falls weak on her knees. She falls down and grabs the phone. They are shooting him! Then she sees Danyal, the wicked evil, land a last shot in Sarim's chest, after saying something in his ear.

Sanam lets out a soul-piercing scream and sobs uncontrollably. Hamza tried to control himself but he can relate with her suffering of losing a brother. He himself is trying his hardest to keep his brother alive because even the thought of Hadi not being in this world threatens his own existence. Hadi may be his half-brother, but he loves him like he would his own brother and protect him like his own child.

"Mere bhai ne nahi maara!" Hamza finally says in a cracked voice, trying to suppress his breakdown. By this time, Sanam's sobs and screams have died down and she cries quietly, with her head knelt down as she clenches the phone tightly in her hands.

Sanam finally looks up at Hamza, realization setting in. Hadi is not the killer!

She extends the phone to Hamza.

"Had-Hadi ka footage." Hamza understands immediately and replays the dashcam footage from where Hadi came in. Hadi had an argument with Sarim, he lost his temper, and fired shots in his direction to scare him off. He then laughs and leaves. Sanam takes a huge gulp, after all this mess, he was innocent at last!

"Hamare paass sirf kal ka din hai. Parso Hadi ki-" Hamza can't muster the courage to say the words aloud.

"Mujhe Hadi ke pass le chalo." 

"What if something happens to Hadi before-"
