Rajat and Purvi enter the event together. It's an open lawn with tables arranged for everyone to sit. A beautiful stage is set in the centre where Vineet is welcoming everyone.
Saavi turns to see and waves her hand to indicate her place to Rajat. He nods his head and moves to that direction. Savi has saved a place next to her for him, he comes walking towards her.
Saavi: thank god ! tum aagaye…maine tumhare liye seat pakad kar rakhi hai…hum dono saath milkar program dekhte hai…
Rajat: Thanks tumne seat bachaa kar rakhi..magar mujhe backstage jaana hai…unn logon ki help karni hai….Purvi…tum yahan baith jaoo. He indicates her to sit down. She sits and asks Rajat in action- Tum kahan jaa rahe ho?
Saavi: abhi abhi to usne bataya ki woh backstage jaa raha hai…
Rajat smiles and repeats what he just said to saavi. Purvi smiles at him.
Rajat: oh sorry…main introduce karna bhool gaya…Purvi..yeh Saavi hai…aur Saavi she is Purvi..
Saavi: hi…tum bhi CID me kaam karti ho?...she talks checking her mobile. Purvi doesn't reply as she cannot hear what she just said.
Saavi: arre…maine kuch poocha tumhe..she prods her shoulder..Purvi looks at her blankly, she realizes that Saavi has been talking to her. She shows in action – she cannot hear or talk.
Saavi: Kya? Yeh action kyun kar rahi ho? Yeh ladki paagal hai kya?
Rajat (embarrassed, hissing): Saaaaviiii…shhh…Purvi paagal nahi hai..woh sunn-bol nahi sakti..isliye sign language yaa note likhkar baat karti hai…
Pankaj: sirrr..sirrrr..yahan aayiye..
Rajat: haan aata hoon…he smiles at Purvi…main chalta hoon..enjoy the program…
Saavi (open mouthed, prodding Purvi): tum sach me sunn bol nahi sakti..she makes actions that Purvi doesn't understand…tum deaf aur dumb ho? Who dumb charades jaise?
Purvi (writes a notes): sorry..meri samajh me nahi aa raha hai…aap kya bol rahi ho?
Saavi (repeating loudly and hand movement): Maine kahaaaa…tum deaf and dumb ho? 2-3 people turn towards Saavi and Purvi.
Saavi: sorry…who yeh ladki Deaf and dumb hai…isliye zor se baat kar rahi hoon…
Saavi (angry, embarrassed): dekha..tumhari wajah se log mujhe galat samajh rahe hai..
Purvi (writing note): Main deaf hoon…tumhe chillane ki zaroorat nahi hai..mujhe waise hi sunaayi nahi dega..aur haan main dumb nahi hoon…hum jaise logon ko mute kehte hai…
Saavi gets up from her seat and goes looking for Rajat.
Saavi: Rajatt…Rajattt…tum mere saath aaye ho naa..toh mere saath raho..kahan uss deaf and dumb ke saath bithaa diya..goongi behri hai magar kitni akduu hai..hmmpfff…
Rajat (angry): Saavi..tum bakwaas mat karo….jaoo jaakar baith jaoo..yahan stage area me sirf officers allowed hai….
Saavi manages to find another place for herself. The program starts and one by one performances happen. Purvi finds it difficult to understand whats going on as she does not get what people are talking on the stage. No one is sitting next to her. Rajat glances at her time to time and is sad to realise her plight. He wants to go and sit next to her, talk to her, explain to her whats happening so that she can also enjoy the jokes, she can also get inspired by the speeches.
Abhijit and Daya perform with their dance partners on stage. Everybody is enjoying the act and Rajat manages to see Purvi's reaction – she is smiling, her eyes dart around following the couple. He watches as the dimples form on her face, she looks around and claps in co-ordination with everyone. He smiles, he feels happy – she is reacting.
Nikhil comes on stage and Rajat strums guitar for his song. He knows Purvi likes songs so he tries to watch her face, but he cannot as the multicolored lights blind his eyes. He manages to squint his eyes and look at the direction Purvi is sitting. He sees that she is having a hard time concentrating on the stage. The song ends and everyone applauds Nikhil's singing.
Next up is Pankaj and Freddy's comic dance. Rajat's eyes look for Purvi, she is missing. He immediately begins to look for her and can see her standing at the end of the lawn, she is messaging someone. He goes to call her but remembers how she got startled. He waits for her to end messaging and finally she turns.
Rajat(smile): yahan kya kar rahi ho?
Purvi (note): Papa ka message tha…puch rahe hai program kaisa hai? Ghar kab aaogi?
Rajat (coming closer): Tumhe program kaise lag raha hai?
Purvi (action): acha hai…she smiles politely.
Rajat: Nikhil ka gaana kaise laga? Mera guitar?
Purvi (note):Mujhe theekh se dikhaayi nahi diyaa..itne saare lights…main hoth padh hi nahi paayi..mujhe samajh me hi nahi aaya kya gaana tha…yeh program kab khatam hoga?
Rajat: bas shayad aakhiri dance hai….aur phir…
Purvi (note): ohh..dance…
Rajat(quickly): ek..ek gaana bhi hai…
Purvi: achaa…koi baat nahi…main yahin hoon….
Rajat wants her to see him sing. He wants her to enjoy his performance. He thinks for 2 min and then holds her hand and takes her with him.
Daya and Abhijit watch him escorting Purvi ahead.
Daya: Kya boss…kya ho raha hai yeh?
Nikhil: sir…aakhiri performance hai naa…isliye
Abhijit: ek aur performance hai? Hume toh laga tha Pankaj ka dance last hai..
Nikhil: Daya sir..aapko yaad hai maine kaha thaa ek surprise performance hoga program ke din?
Daya: haan..toh
Nikhil: enjoy the performance !
Daya and Abhijit look at the stage and their mouths open together – its Rajat on the stage with a guitar. Purvi is sitting in the front table with Dr Salunkhe and ACP Pradyuman. Rajat had requested them to accommodate her as she can only enjoy with her eyes!
Purvi's eyes open wide as she is surprised pleasantly like everyone else. She gets excited to see him sing.
Rajat (hesitant): Good evening everyone…aap log itna hairaan hai mujhe yahan dekhke..sach boloon toh main khud bhi hairaan hoon…jabse CID me aaya hoon apni duty ke liye ekdum strict aur serious ho gaya hoon…mere gharwaale kehte hai main hasna bhool gaya hoon, har waqt bass ek inspector banke rehta hoon…main bhool gaya hoon ki main "RAJAT" hoon….aaj bahut dino baad aapke saamne sirf RAJAT aaya hai..he smiles looking at Purvi – aur yeh Rajat gaata bhi hai…ummeed hai aap sabko pasand aaye..
Shreya (to Tarika): Mujhe toh abhi se hi pasand aa gaya yeh 'Rajat'….
Tarika: Hmmm….ekdum naya roop hai..hai naa..
Rajat strums and starts singing a song in his deep and sincere voice.
Lyrics – Tumse hi (Jab we met)
Naa hai yeh khonaa, Naa paana hi hai..
Tera naa hona jaane kyun hona hi hai..
He opens his eyes and looks towards Purvi to sing the next two lines – straight from his heart !
Tumse hi din hota hai, surmayi shaam aati hai
Tumse hi tumse hi…
Har ghadi saas aati hai, zindagi kehlaati hai
Tumse hi tumse hi
Its true..since he has come in touch with her- he has started to live his life ! she is teaching him how to..
Abhijit: Nikhil….lights wights laga do yaar..multicolor waale…ekdum feel aayega..
Nikhil: Rajat sir ne manaa kiya hai..unhe stage pe koi lights nahi chahiye..
Aankhon me aankhen teri, baaton me baaten teri
Mera naa mujh me kuch raha hua kya….
Baaton me baaten teri, rate saugaate teri
Kyun tera sab yeh ho gaya, hua kya?
He questions himself everyday – whats so special in her that he always thinks of ways to meet her..
Main kahin bhi jaata hoon, tumse hi mil jaata hoon
Tumse hi, tumse hi….
Pankaj: yeh line toh ekdum dil se gaaya hai Sir ne..yaad hai Freddy sir…invitation pe kaise jhapte the?
Vineet (smile): Hmmm….woh toh hai..abhi bhi aise lag raha hai jaise koi private performance de rahe hai..dekho naa sir ki nazar hatt hi nahi rahi hai..
Pankaj: aur shayad kisi aur ki bhi nazar Sirr pe se nahi hatt rahi…dekho toh
They all look at Purvi. She is moving her head along as if she can hear him. ACP sir and Salunkhe look at each other. She is patting her bangles rhythmically to the song.
ACP: Salunkhe…yaar yeh ladki sun nahi sakti naa..toh.
Salunkhe: Boss…aise log bhi music enjoy karte hai apne tarike se..dekho who kaise gaur se Rajat ke chehre ko dekh rahi hai..uske hoth padh rahi hai..
Rajat is singing away oblivious to what people are talking about them. He knows this performance is only for her. For him its just him, his guitar and just her in front of him- rest of the world is a blur !
Shor me khaamoshi hai…thodi si behoshi hai
Tumse hi Tumse hi….
Yes! Her silence is a welcome change from the useless chatter of this world ! It gives him a solace like no one else..
Aadha saa waada kabhi, aadhe se zyaada kabhi
Jee chahe karloon is tarah wafaa ka
The next lines Purvi lip syncs with him. It gives a deeper meaning to his song.
Purvi and Rajat together:
Chode naa choote kabhi, tode naa toote kabhi
Jo dhaaga tumse judd gaya, wafaa ka…
Rajat is surprised – did she just mouth those words! He looks at her again, she is nodding her head and patting her bangles – chann chann…
Freddy (shock): Pankaj ! tune bhi dekha jo maine dekha? Woh ladki…usne abhi abhi baat ki..gaana gaaya?
Pankaj (equally shocked): Haan sir ! maine bhi dekhaa…his mouth is open
Abhijit: Mooh bandh karo Pankaj…bhai manna padegaa…Rajat bahut acha gaata hai….
Daya: Boss…usko dekhke aisa lag toh nahi raha ki woh gaa raha hai…maano apne dil ka haal sunaa raha hai…
Abhijit: hmmmm….aur tabhi who ekdum sureeli aur meethi lag rahi hai..
Main tera sarmaaya hoon, jo bhi main ban paaya hoon
Tumse hi tumse hi
Raaste mil jaate hai, manzile mil jaate hai
Tumse hi tumse hi
Rajat finishes his performance. He gets down the stage to a thunderous applause. His collegaues surround him and congratulate for his surprise and wonderful act. He shyly accepts all the compliments and searches for the approval of one person – for whom he had actually sang today. He watches as she stands at a distance. There is a sweet smile on her face – she allows him to enjoy the spotlight and admiration by the crowd that's surrounding him.
The guests move away for dinner. Rajat loses track of her in the crowd. He is hardly listening to the comments and praises, his mind is restless!
Saavi (rushing to him): Ohhh Rajattttttt….wow! kitna bada surprise diya tumne mujhe…I absolutely loved your song…kahan dekh rahe ho? Kisse dhoondh rahe ho? Chalo dinner karte hai
She pulls him away to the buffet table. He is still looking for her, Saavi picks up a plate and fills it with food.
Saavi: Tumhari plate kahan hai? Khaana nahi khaana hai kya?
Rajat: haan..kya…main..main abhi aata hoon
Saavi: Kahan jaa rahe ho? Rajat? she doesn't allow him to go. He looks here and there for help.
Rajat: Pankajjj..he spots Pankaj with a plate full of food..
Pankaj: haan sir?
Rajat: tumhare dance performance ka koi fan ban gaya hai…Saavi…Saavi ko bahut pasand aaya..hai naa?
Pankaj (happy): Sach…thank you so much…aapka phone number mil sakta hai..
Rajat (taking chance): Very good Pankaj..tum Saavi se baaten karte raho..main abhi aaya..he rushes out.
He goes to each corner of the lawn smiling at people, declining invites for dinner from his various collegaues.
Rajat (mentally slapping himself): Idiot ! uska number bhi nahi hai…ab kya karoon….
ACP: Arre Rajat…he hears his senior's voice from behind. He gulps and turns.
ACP: arre bhai..2 min hamaare saath bhi aaoo…bahut acha gaaya tumne..kyun Salunkhe?
Salunkhe (moving from his view): haan…hum sabko bahut acha laga…aur khaas karke Ms Shah ko..he signals to Purvi sitting and having her dinner. Color creeps in his cheeks, he feels the warmth but the pinkness is disguised by his dark skin color !
Rajat (shy): Thank you..Thank you sir..
ACP (winking at Salunkhe): Chal Salunkhe..mera toh ho gaya..chal zaraa doosre logon se bhi mil lete hai..
Salunkhe: Haaan Boss..chalo.
They both bid goodbye to Purvi. She waves a bye to them too and is surprised to see Rajat standing in front.
Rajat:Main baith sakta hoon yahan…
Well..Welll...kya hoga ab?
