OUTSIDE LADY'S HOUSE :
Cabir : "kya hua aaliya?"..he shaked her with
her shoulder..
Aaliya : "bhai..he is no more"...she said in a
shocking tone..tears were brimming down
from her eyes..her whole body was
shivering..
"WHAT"..everyone in unison..they all were
also equally shocked..Mukti saw Aaliya's
state and she instantly hugged her..
Aaliya : "am fine..."..she said after breaking
the hug and wiped her tears..
Abhi : "but yeh sab..hua kese..?"..
Aaliya : "i don't know..may be ..he paid for
his deeds..."..She said in a stern
voice..looking downwards..
Everyone knew she is hiding her pain..no
matter..what type of person Harshad
was..the fact is..he was her only
brother...she is badly hurt..but not showing
her pain to them..as she knows the
fact..what damage her own brother did to
her family (fab-5)...
Dhruv : "aaliya.."..he looked in her eyes..and
saw the grief in it..she gave a weak smile to
him..
Cabir : "hum..manik nandini ko is baarei
mei kuch nahi bata sakte.."..he said while
looking to others..and everyone nodded
their head in approval..later they all sit in
the car and left the place..through out the
drive..aaliya was silent and as so
others..dhruv who was sitting beside her on
last seat..side hugged her..she put her head
on his shoulder..and closed her eyes..tears
were felling down from her eyes..
Aaliya thought : "bhai..kyu chale gaye ap..i
know am ashamed of your sister but i
always loved you..aaj ..jab mujhe pata
chala..that u left forever..the land beneath
me slipped away..apki wajah se..sirf apki
wajah se..i can't even mourn on your
death..kyu bhai..kyu..."..she sobbed badly in
dhruv's arm but she made sure her weeps
never come out from her mouth..
AAHANA'S FARMHOUSE :
Manik and Nandini still in their own
world..entered inside the house
together..holding each other hands..they
were in pure bliss..just when they put their
first leg together in the farmhouse..nandini's
eyes filled with tears..2 years back ..they all
entered in the house together..but didn't left
with each other...all the memories of their
golden time flashes in front of her eyes..she
left manik's hand and went inside ..checking
each n every corner of the house..although it
wasn't their house in real manner but still
they have alot of memories with it..
Nandini : "Mannii..."..she turned around and
stopped abruptly..she found him staring at
her with utmost love in his eyes..that stare
was so deep which sends shiver to her whole
body..he opened his arms and gestured her
to come..she without wasting even a second
ran towards him and engulfed herself in his
arms..he tightly embraced her in his arms..
Nandini : "i am still in spell manik..that the
dream which i had dreamt day and night in
these two years..is finally fulfilled..am in
your arms..the place i belongs to..."...she
hugged him more tightly and said all this
with closed eyes..
Manik : "and i lived in this dream all these
years...it's like after 2 ages ..am able to
breath..tum hamesha kehti thi na ..that you
live in my soul..but i realized..you are my
soul..without you am nothing more than a
lifeless body..."..he hugged her more tightly
..after a never ending hug..they both sat
down on the couch of living area ..but still
they were in each other's arm..they are not
leaving each other not even for a
second..after all they have craved for this..
Just when they both were lost in each other's
eyes..everyone entered inside..and they
found the most beautiful scenario of this
universe..a smile crept on their lips..even
aaliya smiled widely..they all silently prayed
..this time to save them with every evil eye..
Aahana : "sach kahu..mujhe aaj 2 saal baad
pehli baar lag raha hai..mai apne ghar aayi
hoon..."...she said while hugging ayaan from
side..he kissed her head and hugged her
back..
Cabir : "we can't take this smile back from
their faces..manik is smiling after ages..we
got out family back..plz..we won't discuss
about harshad.."..he said while looking to
MaNan and then at other's..they all assured
him that they won't...
MaNan was so engrossed in each other that
didn't realized the presence of all of them..
Cabir : "guys..kya hum andar aajaye..ya fir
baad mei aaye..."...he said to lighten the
situation..with a broad smile..now this
makes MaNan out of their trance..
Nandini : "cabir..tum kabhi nahi sudhroge
na..."..she stood up and smiled broadly..after
seeing that smile on her face..cabir ran to
her and hugged her tightly..
Cabir : "mujhe sudharna bhi nahi
hai..nandini..we lost everything..when you
left..please hume chorke mat jana..."...he
said still hugging her..tears fell down from
his eyes..she was also teary..she broke the
hug and wiped his tears..
Nandini : "promise me..you will never
change..then only ..i'll never leave.."..she
said cutely with a smile..
Cabir : held her hands in his "i
promise.."...he also smile..while other also
smile but with tears..Manik stood up and
hugged Cabir tightly..
Navya : "aaj hume humari family wapas mil
gayyi.."..she said while coming forward to
them and hugged her tightly..
Abhi came forward and he also hugged her
..once again everyone hugged her tightly
together..excluding manik..he was only
holding her one hand..and smiling broadly
...Nandini is the root of their family..without
her they were in pieces but now when she is
back..everything will fall into right place..
Soon they all settled down ..Nandini sensed
something is bothering aaliya..
Nandini : "aaliya..kya hua..is something is
bothering you.."..she said while looking
straight to her ..whereas everyone
exchanged glance..
Cabir : "nahi nandini..nothing is like
that..it's just..aaj subah tak humari lives itni
messy thi..aur ab..kitni sorted lag rahi
hai..in kuch hours mei itna kuch ho gaya hai
ki..facts ko digest karne mei time to lagega
na.."..he said covering for aaliya..nandini
was also convinced as it's really difficult for
anyone to accept this so early..
Nandini : "you are right..kal tak..i was so
away from all of you..and today am here..in
manik's arms.."..she said while hugging
manik side ways..while other smile..But
there were still a lot of questions which were
unanswered ..
Mukti : "but nandini..hum sab ne tumhara
accident dekha tha..you died..."..she paused
for after thinking that dark night ..which had
snatched everything from them...
Cabir : he held mukti's hand "mukti is
right..although hum sab bahut jyada khush
hai with your arrival..but jo humne dekha
..we can't deny it too..u were right in front
of us.."...the flashes of that dreadful night
played in front of his eyes..
Voice from back: "WOH NANDINI
NAHI..AMAAYA THI ..AMAAYA
SETH.."..everyone looked back ..and their
was the same lady who saved
Manik..Everyone stood up after seeing
her..she came near them..
Cabir : "aap yeh keh rahi hai..yeh kese
possible hain.."..he said in confusion..
Nandini : "Aunty bilkul theek keh rahi
hai..woh Amaaya thi.."..she said in grief
..while everyone was shocked with the
revelation..
Manik : "that means..mai galat nahi tha..the
time i touched her..i didn't felt connected..in
all those 6 months i were struggling with this
thought only.."..he said while looking
downwards still holding nandini's hand
tightly..Now, everyone get to know the
reason of Manik's silence from that night to
those 6 months..when he never talked to
anyone..while nandini's eyes were moist..
Soon they all settled down..
Mukti : "lekin yeh sab hua kese..aur aunty
apko kese pata that girl was amaaya
seth"..she said while looking towards
nandini and then shifted her gaze to the
lady..
Lady : "mai batati hu..kal raat tak toh mai
nandini ka naam tak nhi janti thi..1 week
pehle jab mujhe yeh milli ...she was very
week..even till yesterday night ..she wasn't
in the condition to even stand straight.."..
"WHAT"..everyone in unison..Manik was
terrified..he hugged nandini tightly..
Nandini : "relax manik..am fine now..look at
me..your love has cured me.."..she cupped
his face and kissed his forehead...
Lady : "but mujhe nahi pata tha ki aaj subah
mujhe mere sab questions ka answer mil
jaega.."...
(Flashback) :
The lady was in her car driving ..while thinking
about nandini ..
Lady : "mai uska naam tak nahi janti..fir how will i
be able to find about her..please god..show me some
path so that mai us ladki ki madat kar saku..."...she
was in deep thoughts when suddenly her car stopped
with a jolt..
She get down of her car..and opened the bonnet..a
heavy smoke was coming out of it..
Lady : "Lagta hai engine heat ho gaya..i need
water.."..she said while looking around for some
help.. she found a house nearby and she thought to
ask for some help..
Lady knocked on the door..and a boy opened the
door..
Boy : "ji..kahiye"..he asked the lady..
Lady : "actually meri car kharab ho gayi hai..i need
some water..if u can help.."..
Boy : "oh..ya sure..please aap aandar aaiye.."..he said
with a smile and invite the lady inside..and get in to
fetch water..
Lady was standing in the living area ..when
suddenly her eyes fell on the photo which was
placed on nearby table..she was shocked to the core
after seeing that pic..she moved towards that pic
and picked it up..she was shocked..the face of that
girl who is living in her house is same as in the
picture..
Boy from back : "ummm..she is my wife..."..he
exclaimed..
Lady turned around with a questioning look : "She is
your wife???"..
Boy took photo from her hand and touched the
photo very lovingly.."Actually is isn't my wife..she is
my life.."..he said with a broad smile..
Lady looking in his eyes ..but boy was continuously
staring at the picture "Where is she??"..she asked
Boy : "pata nahi..she left me..but why ..i don't
know..where she is now..i don't know..i know only
one thing..she loves me a lot..and i love her a
lot..she can't betray me..and i even can't think such
thing about her..am waiting for her..and will wait
till my last breath.."..he said with tears in his
eyes..the love for his wife was clearly in his eyes
..even a blind can see..
Lady : "what's her name???.."...she put her hand on
his shoulder..
Boy : "Amaaya..Amaaya Seth.."..he said after wiping
his tears and gave a broad smile to her..
Lady : "and what is your name??.."..she asked with a
curious look..
Boy : looked at her "REHAN SETH.."..."Wese aap
..C.B.I se toh nahi hai..you are asking so many
questions.."..he smiled..she also smiled a bit..
Lady : "nahi..woh actually..."..but before she can
complete..her phone start ringing and it was from
her home...she answered the call and servant told
her that the girl has fainted ...she hung the call and
asked Rehan if he can drop her to her home..it's very
urgent to reach home..he said yes..and dropped her
to her house..she didn't told anything about the girl
to Rehan..as she herself was confused ..that if the
girl is wife of Rehan then why she always enchanted
only one name i.e. "MANIK"...who is this Manik..so
many questions ringing in her mind...she said thanks
to Rehan and went inside...
INSIDE THE DARK ROOM :
The girl was in her bed..lying in unconscious state..
The lady asked the servants..how she fainted..the
servants narrated her the whole scenario..The lady
was now more confuse..she sat beside her on the bed
and gently caressed her head..The girl in her
unconscious state start feeling restless ..as if she is
watching something bad in her dream..she woke up
with a jerk and shouted "Maaaniiikkk"...she was
sitting on the bed..her whole body was sweating
badly ..she start enchanting his name again n
again..The lady some how made her calm..
Lady : "beta relax please..sab theek hai".. she made
her rest on the bed her head was on the headboard..
Girl : "Main yahan..main yahan kese..aap ..aap kaun
hai,.."..she asked the lady..after looking unfamiliar
surroundings..
Lady : "beta ..aap 1 week pehle meri car ke samne
aa gayye the..apko yaad nahi?.."
Now girl recalled everything about those dreadful 2
years and that 1 week which she spent in shock at
lady's house..
Girl : she hold lady's hand "please..mujhe ghar jaana
hai..mujhe Manik ke paas jaana hai..please..woh

while crying badly..
Lady : hugged her and rubbed her back "beta..shant

Girl broke the hug : "nahi..mai bilkul theek

pleaded..
Lady hold her hand in her : "acha baba..acha..main
use yahi leke aati hoon..bas"..girl smiled to the
fullest..
Girl : "aap mere manik ko yahin leke aayengi...mera

Lady smiled at her gesture : "han beta..but pehle
tum apna naam toh batao.."...
Girl : "Nandini..MANIK KI NANDINI"..she said while
looking towards the bracelet which is in her
hands..a wide smile appeared on her lips..
Lady : "theek hai nandini..tum aaram karo..mai leke
aati hoon ..tumhare manik ko.."..She made her rest
and was about to stand when nandini hold her
hand..
Nandini : "thank you..pehle apne meri jaan

Lady : "you are like my daughter..aur betiyaan ..maa

karo.."...she said with a smiled and nandini obeyed
her like a baby..lady came outside the room ..she
was in deep thoughts..
Lady self thought : "woh..Amaaya Seth nahi ho
sakti..woh Nandini he hai..but 2 logo ki shakal itni
kese mil sakti hai..Amaaya is missing..Nandini is
away from her family..akhir story kya hai in dono
ki..but pehle mujhe Manik ko dhundna hoga..but
who is he?...Nandini ne mujhe uske Naam ke aalwa
kuch nahi bataya"...she was pacing in the living
area..when a servant came and said..
Servant : "Ma'am mujhe lagta hai..woh ladki..famous
singer..MANIK ki bat karhi hai..wohe Fab-5 ka lead
singer..MANIK..aaj subah jis tarah wo uske video ko

na..apko dekhna chahiye tha...in 1 week mei aaj pehli

Lady in deep thoughts.."Han..ap sahi keh rahe

kahan hai..i think woh Shimla chorke abhi nahi
gaya hai.."
Servant : "ji han..mai abhi wo address lata
hoon..jahan wo ruke hue hai.."...and quickly he went
inside and handover the address to the lady and lady
went out in search of Manik..
AAHANA'S FARMHOUSE :
Lady reached the house and knocked on the door..
Abhi: "yes.."..he opened the door..
Lady : "is Manik..that fab-5 singer is here
only?..."..she asked..
Abhi : "yes..but he is not at home..and please ..aap
yahan se jaiye.."..he thought the lady as one of the
fans of fab-5..he tried to shut the door but lady said
something ..which made him startled..
Lady : "It's about NANDINI..please..let me..meet
him..please.."..
He opened the door fully and asked .."What about
Nandini?..aap use kese jante ho?.."
Lady : "main sab bataungi..but first call Manik.."..
Everyone else also gathered on the gate ..
Mukti : "kya hua abhi.."..she asked while watching
the lady..
Abhi : "she is saying..she wants to meet manik..it's
about nandini.."..he said while looking at the lady..
Everyone was confused..
Lady : "YOUR NANDINI IS ALIVE..."...this gave all of
them a thunder shock...only one question running in
their minds.. what they are listening is really true..
Aaliya : "but yeh kese ..."..bur lady cut her in between..
Lady : "yeh sach hai..and she is with me...please call
Manik..she needs him.."...
Everyone was in deep shock..Abhi made call to
Manik and asked him about his whereabouts and
soon they all left to see Manik..
(flashback ends)
Lady : "so this is how i come to know about
Amaaya and Nandini.."..
Cabir : "That means..jo picture humne
Rehaan ke ghar pe dekhi thi..woh Nandini ki
nahi Amaaya ki thi...but isse pehle hum us
photo pe react kar paate ..aap wahan aa
gayi..."...he said while looking at the lady..
Lady : "right ..woh photo Amaaya ki
thi..isliye jab maine tum dono ko is pic ko
dekhte hue dekha toh mai samjh gayi thi..u
might be thinking her as nandini..that's why
i said i will tell you the truth regarding that
pic..."
Cabir : while looking downwards.."but us
raat ..Amaaya why she was coming towards
Manik ..and why she called Manik at her last
breath..."...
Nandini : "Main batati hoon.."..everyone
looked at her ..
Nandini : "us raat i met Amaaya while
coming home...i were in the market ..just
then i collide with her..mujhe nahi pata
tha..that our 1st encounter will be the last
day of her life..."...she said with tears..Manik
held her hands more tightly...
Nandini continue : "we both were equally
shocked after seeing each other...tab maine
socha ki kyu na tum sabko surprise
doon..isliye Amaaya ke sath milkar maine
plan kiya ki..woh pehle Nandini bankar tum
sab ke samne jaegi...and after that mai
wahan aaungi.."...
she moved towards Manik and held his
hands in her "tumhe yaad hai manik..jab
tumne mujhe call kiya ..tab maine kaha tha
ki ..mujhe tumhe kuvh dikhana hai..woh
Amaaya thi Manik..sab meri galti hai..i
shouldn't plan all this ...she..she died in
place of me...she lost her life because of
me..manik..she...she died.."..she cried badly
in manik's arm and manik consoled her..
Nandini : after breaking the hug "aur jab wo
accident hua..mai wahi thi...Amaaya called
your name because she wanted to tell you
that am absolutely fine..and she isn't me..she
is Amaaya...but usse pehle he..she took her
last breath..and she died right there..i was so
shocked after witnessing all that ..that i
fainted there..."...
Now whole truth of that night was in front
of them..Nandini and Manik still holding
each other's hands..
Aahana : "Nandini but tum thi kahan..why
didn't you came back to us..."...
Now..Nandini remembered where she was
in these 2 years...she reminisce every second
of those 2 years ..her whole body start
shivering..she was sweating
badly..everybody got tensed after seeing her
condition..some screams..start ringing in her
ears..she held her ears with both her
hands..Manik was continuously trying to
make her out of her thoughts ..but all in
vain...suddenly she felt dizzy and fainted in
Manik's arms...Manik was now more
worried..he patted her face gently..he picked
her up in his arms and made her rest on the
bed..
Manik : "Cabir call the doctor fast.."..he said
while rubbing nandini's hand..
Abhi : "relax manik..let me check on her
first,.."..
He agreed and abhi checked her..after all he
is a doctor also..he knows a lot about
sudden unconsciousness..
Abhi : "Manik..i think ..something is
bothering her..please be by her side..she
needs you..she fainted out of shock.."...he
said while looking at nandini ..who was only
calling Manik's name in her sub-conscious
state..
They all left the room leaving manik with
her..Manik was sitting beside nandini
holding her hands tighty..he gently kissed
her knuckles and caressed her head..
After sometime..nandini opened her eyes..
Manik : "tum theek ho na.."..he said while
holding her close to him..
Nandini : "mene fir dara diya na
tumhe..."..she said while looking in his eyes
which has so much fear of lossing her
again..he held her more tightly in his arms..
Manik : "we will survive this nandini..we
will survive this together..trust me..mai
tumhe koi harm nahi hone dunga..i
promise..i will not let you go this time...jo
bhi pain hai tumhara jitna bhi hai..uspe
mera bhi hak hai nandini..don't bind it with
yourself...give it to me also...please..."she
hugged him more tightly ...and tears fell
down from her eyes..but she was
quiet..Manik again made her sleep by
rubbing her back..when he found her
sleeping peacefully ..he gently made her rest
on bed and kissed her forehead..
Manik : "i promise you nandini..whoever is
responsible for this destruction..i will not
leave that person in peace...i swear on
you..mai use dhund kar he rahunga.."..he
again kissed her hands and moved outside
the room ...
OUTSIDE THE ROOM :
Manik came outside..all came towards him..
Cabir : "woh theek hai na manik"..
Manik : "hmmm..so rahi hai.."
Navya : "hum sabke liye toh hum sab
the..but pata nahi ..what she had went
through without us.."..manik was very
worried after listening this..
Abhi : "hume to yeh bhi nahi pata..wo kesi
thi..kahan thi..aur..."..but he paused in
between when they all heard a voice and
they all turned towards it..
Voice : "MENTAL ASYLUM "...
The voice made all of them shocked to the
hell...everyone was left speechless...screen
freezes on their shocked faces..
