(Ragini suggests to Manik that they should inform Maya and Abir about his condition so they can help them too.)
Manik: Tum hi ne toh mana kiya tha, then why do you want to inform them now?
(Ragini thinks for a while, and then confidently replies to Manik.)
Ragini: Dost hain woh humare. It's better to inform them now warna Abir aur Maya ko bahut bura lagega. Plus, if they know, then they can help us too. Do se bhale chaar. 
Manik: Aur agar dosti tod di un logon ne toh? Ya kisi ko bata diya toh?
Ragini: Itna time saath rahe hain, and you don't know anyone? Dost hain humare. They won't tell anyone. Bharosa rakho un par. 
(Manik takes a deep breath, and agrees.)
Manik: Okay. 
(Ragini gives a wide smile, and hugs Manik. They proceed to meet Maya and Abir at Manik's house.)

(Change of Scene)

(Abir and Maya are worried as they rush to Manik's house.)
Abir: Kya hua? Itna urgently kyun bulaya?
Maya: What is wrong? All okay?
(Ragini and Manik look at each other, and hold hands.)
Manik: I don't know how you both are about to react after hearing this truth, but I truly hope that this reality will have no effect on our friendship.
Abir: Ab tu bolega bhi?
Maya: Manik nothing will change our friendship. Lekin tu dara kyun raha hain. Ab bol bhi de please. 
Manik: Woh, I found this out after my 21st birthday...
(Ragini see's Manik struggling to speak, so she continues on his behalf.)
Ragini: Tum log ko toh yaad hi ho ga ki iski 21st birthday ke baad Manik bahut ajeeb tarike se behave kar raha tha. Mind reading, living in cold temperatures, liking the darkness better than the light. Toh bahut research karne ke baad aur uski family se baat karne ke baad hummey pata chala ki Manik is not a human. Lekin he is a Vampire, and this runs in their family.
(Abir and Maya are shocked hearing that Manik is a Vampire, but then burst out laughing.)
Abir: Kya yaar, tumhe hum hi milein hain mazak karne ke liye? Aur woh bhi kya? Tu? Aur vampire? Nice one though. 
Maya: Aur Ragini kya tu bhi iss ki baaton mein aa gayi.
(Manik loses his control, and yells at them.)
Manik: Tumhe yeh sab mazak lag raha hain? See Ragini? I told you not to tell them, they won't take it seriously. Dekh lo, wahi ho raha hain.
(All three are shocked because they have never seen Manik this angry. Ragini tries calming Manik down, and Abir and Maya think about the seriousness of the situation.)
Abir: Are you for real Manik? Ragini kya yeh sach hain ki Manik ek Vampire hain?
Maya: Haan toh uss mein kya? Vampires kitne cool hote hain.
Abir: What nonsense Maya? Do you even know that he is not a human? Sorry, I cannot continue this friendship anymore.
(Abir walks out angrily.)
Maya: Agar Abir nahin, toh I can't either.
(Maya too leaves the room following Abir. Ragini tries stopping them, but Manik holds her hand.)
Manik: I told you, koi nahi samjhega. Now I have lost two of my close friends.
Ragini: You didn't lose anyone okay? Main hoon na?
Manik: Sirf tum hi ho. Mera sach jaante hue bhi mere saath ho. Kyun ho tum mere saath? Kyun? You deserve someone way better than me. At least someone who is human. Tum bhi jao Ragini. Jao.
(Ragini thinks for a while, and then tells Manik the reason why she is with him.)
Ragini: Because I love you Manik. Aur main tumhe chod ke kahin nahin jaa rahi. 
(Abir and Maya walk into Manik's room laughing.)
Abir: Tum dono ne aisa kaise soch liye ki hum tumhe chod dange? Paagal. Hummey toh pehele hi pata tha ki tu insaan toh ho hi nahin sakta. Bas woh aaj confirm ho gaya.
Maya: Thoda shock laga tha, not going to lie. Lekin hum dost hain, and always will be. Aur jab Ragini tumhare saath hain sab jaante hue,toh hum kyun nahin?
(Ragini weakly smiles, and Manik runs towards them, and hugs them both.)
Manik: Jaan nikal di thi meri tum dono ne. Kya gande log ho tum dono. 
Ragini: See Manik? I told you!
(Manik walks towards Ragini, and holds her hand.)
Manik: Thank you Ragini, thank you for everything.
(The group goes in for a hug, and thinks about what to do next.)

(Change of Scene)

(Abir calls Ragini to meet in a cafe.)
Ragini: Mujhe yahan kyun bulaya Abir?
Abir: Kuch poochna tha.
Ragini: Haan, poocho.
Abir: Manik ka sach jaante hue bhi tum uske saath ho? Matlab ek second bhi tumhare mann mein yeh khayal ya darr nahin aya ki woh kaun hain?
(Ragini gets silent for a moment.)
Abir: Tumhari khamoshi mujhe kuch aur keh rahi hain Ragini.
Ragini: I love him, and that's it. Kuch aur jaan ne ki zaroorat nahi hain.
(Abir sarcastically laughs.)
Abir: Chalo, maan leta hoon ki jo tum keh rahi ho wahi sach hain. 
Ragini: Are you doubting me Abir? Kehena kya chahate ho tum?
(Ragini angrily gets up from her chair.)
Abir: Maine aisa kuch nahin kaha. Main toh sirf pooch raha tha.
Ragini: Jis tone mein tum pooch rahe the, main sab jaanti hoon. Mera muh mat khulwao. Tumhe bhi jaanti hoon, aur tumhare iraadon ko bhi. Toh behetar yahi ho ga that you only focus on Manik's problem, and help in finding a solution.
Abir: Woah, blackmail kar rahi ho mujhe? Main toh sirf baat kar raha tha seedhe tareeke se.
Ragini: Karna padha toh zaroor karungi.
(Ragini leaves the cafe, leaving Abir angry.)

(Change Of Scene)

(Maya is restless thinking about the letter she got yesterday evening which had written "I know about your past deeds.")
Maya: Who can it be? What do they know about my past?
(A girl wearing a black hoodie is standing outside the window of Maya's house, laughing, seeing the fear Maya has regarding her past.)

Girl in Hoodie: Bas yahi darr toh dekhna. Ab tumhare paapo ka ghara bhar gaya hain Maya. Now, it's time for you to pay for each and everything you have done.
(She smiles, and leaves from there.)
