"Aliyah?" Pragya calls her confused.

"You can see me?" Aliyah asks Pragya confused as she turned her gaze from Abhi.

"Yes." Pragya replies in amazement.

"Where is she?" Abhi asks Pragya turning to her. "Where is my sister? Aliyah? ALIYAH!"

"She is standing in front of you." Pragya replies softly.

Abhi stops in shock and turns to look straight ahead. "I can't see her." Abhi softly whispers in pain then turning to Pragya frantically he asks her, "I CAN'T SEE HER! WHY CAN'T I SEE HER?"

"Because only I can."

"You are lying." Abhi accuses her as he left Pragya's hand and moved back. "You lied about the song. You are lying now. She is alive! I am going to find her!"

"She is standing in front of..." Pragya starts to say as she turned to look at Aliyah and stops in shock seeing the empty space. "I can't see her."

"BECAUSE SHE IS ALIVE AND SHE IS LIVING SOMEWHERE ELSE!" Abhi furiously tells her.

"Shut up!" Pragya snaps at him and turns to Raghuveer. "Papa, I could see her and now I can't."

Raghuveer who was staring at Abhi asks him, "Your sister... has she ever donated her organ to you?"

"What? No!" Abhi replies irately. "I am going."

Abhi starts to walk off when the front door closes loudly.

"She is here?" Pragya asks Raghuveer as she turned to him hopefully realizing Aliyah was closing the door to stop Abhi from leaving.

"You said you could see her now you are asking your father whether she is here?" Abhi asks her furiously.

"Why the hell do you argue so much? Can't you shut your mouth and accept what I am telling you?" Pragya asks him furiously.

"Why should I believe anything that you say? You are a liar and a psycho!"

"Abhi..." Raghuveer calls him before Pragya could argue again with him.

Abhi turns to Raghuveer and tells him, "I almost believed her when she told me about the song. That is why I called you but you guys are liars. I am leaving."

"Please think again, has she ever donated any organ? Anything? Please when you were children any surgery... anything?" Raghuveer asks him. "I just need to understand why Pragya was able to see her just now."

Hearing children and surgery Abhi tells him hesitantly, "We were twins. We were conjoint. We shared the same liver."

"And the liver still lives on in you." Raghuveer finishes off.

"What do you mean?" Abhi asks confused. Understanding, what her father was saying, Pragya quickly grabs Abhi's hand.

Abhi turns to her exasperated, "You have some nerve. You think you are strong enough to hold me here? What are you going to do next tie me down?"

"I can see her." Pragya tells Abhi as she stared at Aliyah.

"You are ly.." Abhi starts to say and stops in shock feeling Pragya's hold on him turning cold. It felt like ice. Abhi turns to Pragya, "Your hands are cold. It's like it is frozen."

"Not mine." Pragya replies as she stared at her hand that was holding Abhi's. Aliyah had kept her hand over Pragya's.

"She... is... Here?" Abhi asks Pragya as his heart started slamming against his chest.
