It was raining cats and dogs in Mumbai, In the night sky also the dark clouds were clearly visible. Even rain wasn't able to extinguish the fire burning in his heart. He was sitting in his dark room while his gaze was only fixed to the huge photo frame in front of him.

His red eyes were enough for anyone to know that he had cried for a long time. His eyes refused to look at anything other than the photo frame in front of him. He slowly got up from his seat and walked towards the photo frame.

He traced his finger on the face of the person. Tears spilled out of his eyes. He closed his eyes tightly only to remember the girl's smiling face. Her eyes full of innocence. Her face with an everlasting smile.

He opened his eyes and looked at the photo frame again. He kneeled down in front of it. He leans on the frame and tries to get some sleep. He then slowly mumbles.

Guy- (mumbles)- I know you will come back to me. I am waiting for you, Avni.

With that he dozes off while making his heart believe that his Avni is going to be back.

Meanwhile, In Delhi.

A dance hall is seen. It is not completely dark, lights are there but they aren't too bright . A spotlight falls on the centre of the hall. The hall is completely empty. A girl walks towards the spotlight and finally the spotlight falls on her.

She was dressed in a white traditional anarkali. Her legs adorned with golden ghungroo.. Her face had tear stained cheeks, her eyes were swollen and her lips were pressed together to stop another sob to escape her mouth. The music started playing.

Heere moti main na chaahoo
Main toh chaaho sangam tera
Main toh teri saiyyan
Tu hai mera, saiyyan, saiyyan

Tu jo chhoo le pyaar se
Aaraam se mar jau
Aaja chanda bahoo mein
Tujh mein hi gum ho jau
Main tere naam mein kho jau
Saiyyan... saiyyan


The girl start dancing alone. Tears were flowing from her eyes continuously. Maybe she was trying to let her pain out through her dance. She closed her eyes trying to see something. His innocent face flashed in front of her eyes. His childish talks and his smile were playing in her mind.

Mere din khushi se jhoome gaaye raate
Pal pal mujhe dubaaye jaate jaate
Tujhe jeet jeet haaroo yeh praan praan varoo
Hay aise main nihaaroo teri aartee utaaroo
Tere naam se jude hai saare naate, saiyyan, saiyyan

Banke maala prem ki
Tere tan pe jhar jhar jaaoo
Baithoo naiya preet ki
Sansaar se thar jaaoo
Tere pyaar se tar jaaoo
Saiyyan, saiyyan


Their moments, which they spent together were running in her mind. She was drifting into the past memories. She didn't even stop for a moment.

Yeh naram naram nasha hai, badhtajaaye
Koi pyaar se ghungatiya deta udaaye
Ab baawra hua mann jag ho gaya hai roshan
Yeh nayee nayee suhaagan ho gayee hia teri jogan

Koi prem ki pujaarun mandir sajaaye
Saiyyan, saiyyan
Heere moti main na chaahoo
Main toh chaahoo samgam tera

Main na jaanu, tu hi jaane
Main toh teri, tu hai mera
Main na jaanu, tu hi jaane
Main toh teri, tu hai mera
Main toh teri, tu hai mera

As soon as the song ended the girl fell on the floor and started crying vigorously. She curled up into a ball. She hided her face in her knees still crying. She mumbled to herself.

Girl-(mumbles)- I wish I could go back to you. I am sorry, Neil.
