Next day, Marriot palace, Morning time...
The day has finally come. Mehendi function is on. The entre team is there posing as guests in the wedding. The team is still in a fix, with no clues leading them any far.
After mehendi function culminates, the team assemble in Naina's room discuss further plans.
Daya- "sir... ab kya karei? Kal shaadi hai. aur sham ko sangeet! Aur ab tak hum kuch bhi pata nhi karpaye."
Freddy- "sir... ye mystery tho solve hone ka naam nhi leraha..."
Daya- "bilkul Freddy.. samajh nhi aaraha kya karei hum..."
ACP- "kuch tho karna hoga daya. Kuch tho karna hoga.. warna inn Naina aur Avinash ki jaanei bhi chali jayengi..."
Avinash- "mujhe meri jaan ki parwa nhi hai sir.. but main nhi chahta ki Naina ko yaa Tarika ko kuch ho-"
Abhi- (low voice) "badi chinta horahi hai tumhe Tarika ji ki hei? Arey tu apni biwi ki fikar kar na yar..."
Tarika who's right beside him hears this and smiles shaking her head...
Tarika thinks- "ye Abhijeet bhi na... har baat pe jealous hojata hai. care bhi karta hai. pareshan bhi hota hai... hmm accha hai... isska matlub yahi hua na, ki kuch tho hai usske dil mei mereliye"
ACP- "Sachin Vineet.. kuch pata chala tumko?"
Vineet- "sir Tarika ne jiss room k bare mei kahaan.. woh hume kahi nhi mila sir."
Sachin- "lekin local police bhi lagey hai sir kaam mei. unhone pichle hisse ko chaan maarna shuru kardi."
Abhi- "kaha chupa hoga woh room..."
ACP- "kaise jaate honge andar?"
Daya- "zarur koi khoofia rasta hoga sir..."
ACP- "haan sahi hai"
Sachin- "sir ek aur baat pata chali hai-"
ACP- "kya pata chala?"
Sachin- "sir Rajeev ji k bhai ko humne dhoondha-"
Avinash- "chachaji milgaye?"
Sachin- "haan tumhare chacha ji se mile the hum. Badi seedhi-saadhi zindgii bitaa rahe hai woh. Aur sir, unko kisi pe shak hai..."
ACP- "kis pe.."
Vineet- "unhe lagta hai ki Rajeev ji ne..."
Avinash- "chachaji kabhi dad ko pasand nhi karte the sir. Aap dad pe shak tho nhi kar rahe hai naa..."
ACP- "ye baat hum jaante hai Avinash. Lekin shak karna humara kaam hai."
Avinash nods.
Daya- "mujhe nhi lagta Rajeev ka iss mei koi haat hai sir..."
Freddy- "jo bhi ho sir, iss case mei mujhrim bohot chaalu nikla. Ab tak woh pakad mei nhi aaya. Aur naahi uske aadmi."
ACP- "hmmm... waqt bohot kam hai... hume kuch karna hoga"
Abhi- "iss bar kuch naya sochna padega sir..."
ACP- "Avinash... kab hai tum logo ka sangeet.."
Avinash- "sham ko sir... thik 5:30 baje shuru hoga... sir.. waha kuch.. gadbad tho nhi hoga na... mera matlub hai koi khatra nhi hoga na sir humareliye-"
ACP- "nhi Avinash hum log hai na, hum kisi ko kuch nhi hone denge. Vishwaas rakho."
Avi & Naina- "hume aap par vishwaas hai sir."
ACP- "achhi baat hai. ab sab log jaao... palace ke chaaron aur fail jaao. Kadi nazar rakho. Kuch bhi gadbad dhika tho, turant mujhe inform karna-"
All- "OK sir..."
Evereyone begins to leave.
ACP- "Daya, Tarika.. tum log yahi ruko. Tum logo se kuch baat karni hai..."
Daya, Tarika are surprised. Abhi too is taken aback.. ACP sir wants to talk to Daya? And Tarika? He begins to walk back but ACP stops him-
ACP- "nhi Abhijeet... mujhe bas inn dono se baat karni hai..."
He nods and leaves glancing at his friends, two most important persons in his life.
. . .
ACP sir explains some plan... Surprisingly Daya protests...
Daya- "sir... ye.. ye hum nhi kar sakte sir... Tarika ki jaan ko issey khatra ho sakta hai... mujrim ko fasaane k liye hum Tarika ka isthemaal nhi kar sakte. Aur aap tho jaante hai sir, Abhijeet ko ye pata chahlega tho kitna bada jhatka lagega usey?"
ACP- "haan Daya jaanta hu.. lekin... Tarika hum.. humare paas ye aakhri raasta hai. hume lagta hai ki usne tumhe ek baar marne ki koshishh ki, tho dobara karega... lekin hum tumhey kuch nhi hone denge. Tumhe choone se pehle hi hum uski jaan nikaalenge..."
Daya- "sir ye humare usoolon k khilaf hai. aur tarika ye kyu karegi wog tho CID mei nhi, forensic mei hai"
Tarika - "Daya please!.."
Daya- "..."
Tarika- "Sir ne aisa kaha tho... main samajh sakti hu, kitna bada pathar rakha hai unnhone apne dil pe. Aap fikar mat kijiye sir... mujhe kuch nhi hoga, kyu ki mujhe pata hai... ki aap sab log hai mere saat. Main tayyar hu sir..."
ACP- "thank you Tarika..."
Tarika- "thanks mat kahiye sir please. Main bhi tho CID ka hissa hu... kyu Daya."
Daya nods and pats her back. She smiles... ACP sir walks away with Daya and she stays back to cheer up her friend Naina who's tensed.
Sangeet function begins,
Rajat is on the stage singing a song. Tarika is beside him, singing along when her turn came. Nikhil is on the drums...
The entire team is present, posing as guests, moving here and there, trying to catch a glimpse of any unusual movement. Most of the guests in the vast open ground; are seated in their respective chairs, enjoying the musical treat. Some dhol beats can be heard from on end where the groom and bride are sitting. Everyone clap as one song is finish.
Officers are all connected through Bluetooth...
Freddy- "ek gaana khatm hua... abhi tak kuch nhi hua..."
Abhijeet can hear Freddy's disappointment in his Bluetooth headset.
Abhi- "hume alert rehna hoga sir... dekhna hoga har move ko kareeb se..."
Daya- "haan agar kisi ne hamla kardiya Tarika pe, tho hum-"
That puts him on edge
Abhi- 'Tarika pe? Daya kya keh rahe ho tum"
Daya- "I'm sorry Abhijeet. Par hume lagta hai Tarika ki jaan ko khatra hai-"
Abhi- "kya? Arey tho fir unko andar hona chahiye... yaha pe tho aur khatra hogi na, kisi ko unke saat-"
Daya- "hume lagta hai... ye ek zariya hai ki hum... mujrim tak pohoche."
Abhi- "kya? Kisi ki jaan jhokle mei daalke hum mujrim ko... ugh! Main ye hargiz nhi hone dunga-"
Daya- "ye ACP sir ka order hai Abhijeet-"
Abhi- "Sir aapne... ye aapka plan kaise ho sakta hai... sir Taika ko kuch hogaya tho-"
ACP- "usey kuch nhi hoga Abhijeet."
Daya walks to a corner end where there is less noise...
Daya- "Abhijeet relax hum hai na..."
Abhi- "haan main jaaraha hu unhe ye bataane aur unhe har khatre se bachaane..."
Daya and ACP sigh.. Abhijeet moves past the people gathered there and reaches the stage... he tries to get Tarika's attention from below but she doesn't respond.
. . .
Meanwhile...
Two persons are talking over their phone...
"kaam hojayega na?"
"ho jayega sir..."
"uss ladki ko goli maar do..."
"saab goli maarne se hulchul hosakti hai. aur police bhi yahi hai. hum pakde gaye tho..."
"tumhe jitney paise chahiye utne milenge. Police pakadlegi tho double amount. Par chinta mat karo, itne sare log hai. police tumhe nhi pakadpayeg.-"
"thik hai sir..."
The two move further along the rows of people.
"yaha se goli maarenge, tho pakadke maarenge..."
"peeche jaake rifle se maarte hai-"
"haan- ek minute! Ye tho... ye yaha kya kar raha hai. aur usske kaan mei Bluetooth?"
"kon? Arey woh.. woh brown coat wala aadmi.."
"kon hai woh?"
"arey woh CID officer Abhijeet hai... mujhe dekhliya tho pakadlega.. jaldi khisak jaate hai yaha se..."
. . .
Meanwhile Daya who's walking close to where Abhijeet is spots this duo-
Daya- "ye log baaki guests se alag lagrahe hai... inhe dekh kar ye nhi lagta ki ye gaane sunne aaye hai..."
Daya spots a gun in one of the goon's hand but keeps mum.
Daya- "sir mujhe ek pe shak hai... woh ek nhi doh hai... thik Abhijeet ke peeche ki taraf hai.."
Abhi- "mere peeche? Daya... kaha hai woh.."
Daya- "woh tumhare taraf aarahe hai Abhijeet. sir main unki taraf jaaraha hu..."
Daya jogs trying to get those two.. but the people sitting pose a barrier.. he crosses a row and begins to jog down a path, avoiding groups of guys and girls who are dancing clapping and whistling..
Goon- "ye yaha hai matlub iski team bhi hogi... pehle isey maarte hai..."
Daya spots the goon setting his rifle at the far end...
Daya- "oh my god! Sir usske paas rifle hai... aur woh kisi ka nishaana banaa raha hai.."
Daya increases his speed...
Daya- "Sachin Vineet.. tum log peeche ki dead end chodo.. come forward... near the last row! Now!"
Daya- "ek minute... mujhe lagta hai uska nishana Tarika nhi hai... uska nishaana tho..."
Daya watches keenly... Sachin & vineet and the entire team are now running to the last row of the seating arrangement.
Abhi is now on the stage, standing beside Tarika, hoping that he could keep her safe, hoping that he alone could be her saviour... Tarika is nervous as well as happy to be with him there... she keeps singing while looking at him and smiling.. he smiles back...
Daya- " ABHIJEET! MOVEE!"
*gun-shot*
Daya- "pakdo usey..."
Tarika- "abhijeet!"
Tarika is shelllshocked to find him lying on the floor.
Sachin spots the two goons who are now running to save their heads. Police men, CID chase them...
. . .
On the stage...
Abhijeet's quick impulse helps him escape unhurt... he is lying on the stage, falling down on his back as he dodged the bullet. Tarika is in tears...
She tries to help him as he gets up.
Tarika- "Abhijeet! Tum thik ho? Tumhe... kahi goli tho.. nhi lagi na... haan?"
Rajat- "sir! Sir aap thik hai na?"
He dusts himself clean and nods...
Abhi- "Haa baba main thik hu-"
She hugs him then and there, without bothering about the stage, or her colleagues, and he lets out a happy squeal...
Abhi- "arey Tarika ji... aap bhi naa... main thik hu..."
She releases him and smiles slightly...
Tarika- "thank god!" *sigh* "tum thik ho. Warna mujhe lagta ki meri waje se..."
Abhi- "aapki waje se kaise, mera kaam hi aisa hai, aapko maalum hai na? arey aap bhi naa Tarika ji..."
He hugs her from one side and pats her back...
Abhi- "chalo accha hai, isee baahane mujhe ye tho pata chala aap mujhse kitna pyar karti hai. kitna care karti hai, hei?"
Tarika- "Abhijeet... care tho main humesha karti hu... tumhe abhi pata chala?"
Abhi- "arey nhi nhi... arey mera wo matlub nhi tha Tarika ji. Arey har baar galat kyu samajhti ho huh..."
She stares at her feet, looks here and there.
Abhi- "arey ab tho muskuraayiye..."
Both smile slightly and the nokjok ends.
. . .
Meanwhile... the goons are caught by one of the security persons near the entrance to the palace. However they manage to get out of the grip...
Sachin watches in distraught as the goons speed away.
Daya and others reach there only to look & gulp some much needed air.
Sachin- "ye haat se nikal gaye sir."
Daya- "ab koi saboot bhi nhi hai humare paas..."
. . . / \ . . .
That night...
The team is disappointed. This was their last chance. And they couldn't do anything.
Salunkhe tries to cheer them up.
Salunkhe- "woh pakad mei naa aaye tho kya hua boss. Antidote hai na... hum Avinash aur Naina ko iska injection dedenge. Aur ye, ye mujrim bhi pakad mei aayega ek din... jaise har koi aata tha-"
They all nod, smile a bit and then finish dinner to leave wordlessly to their respective rooms.
. . . / \ . . .
Next day-
Marriage preparations are almost done. Naina, Avinash, Tarika are chatting with Avi's dad in his room when CID team walks in.
ACP- "Hello Rajeev ji..."
Rajeev- "sir... aap log yaha? Matlub ab bhi yahi hai aap?"
Abhi- "Haan ji. Woh aapke bete ki shaadi dekhne rukk gaye. Agar aapko pasand nhi tho... hum chaley jayenge."
Rajeev- "arey nhi... sir.. maine aisa tho nhi kaha."
Avinash- "aap log invited hai sir. Its an honour ki case k bahaane hi sahi aap yaha pe hai. please feel at home!"
Avinash tries to convince them...
Avinash- "baithiye na... main aapke liye kuch leke aata hu"
ACP- "Avinash. Tum... bohot acche ladke ho. Lucky hai Naina ki usey tum jaisa var mila."
Everyone smile...
Acp- "lekin afsos... Naina ke sasurji... utne acche insan nhi jitna sabko dikhte hai."
Everyone freeze...
Avinash- "sir... ye aap-"
ACP- "hume bolne do Avinash."
Rajeev- "aap kya kehna chahte hai officers seedha kahiye na."
ACP- "seedha keh dei hum? Pehle galti karta hai aur fir CID ke saat uunchi awaz mei baat karta hai."
Abhi- "ab tak humne aapke umar ka lihaz rakha hai Rajeev. Lekin humara sabr ka deewar toota tho hum wo bhi bhool jayenge."
Rajeev- "officers... maine koi galti nhi ki..."
Daya- "jhoot! Jhoot bol rahe ho tum!"
Rajeev- "sir main jhoot nhi bol raha-"
Sachin- "humne unn gundon ko pakadliya tha kal..."
Abhi- "lekin kisi ko pata nhi lagne diya ki woh dono police ki custody mei hai..."
Daya- "unn dono ne hume sach bataadiya. Aur tumne jo paise diye unko videsh bhaag jane k liye.. woh bhi hai humare paas..."
Flashback*
The goons speed awy in their car. But Freddy and Pankaj, along with local police who are already sitting in a jeep parked nearby follow them. The goons notice this midway and speed up to reach a farm house at the outskirts of the city.
Inside the farm house...
The goons meet their supreme.
"saab.. saaab.."
"tum dono? Yaha kyu aagaye? Ladki mari?"
"nei saab. Lekin waha CID hai."
"bewakoof aadmi. Tumhe kya lagta hai. malum nhi mujhe? Arey main waha ka malik hu. Mujhe pata hai ki woh log hai waha... aur tum log yaha kyu aaye. Tum logo ko andaaza bhi hai, CID tumhare peeche yaha aajayegi?"
"hai saab. Humne unko chakhmaa dediya. Par saab hum kya karte saab. Woh log humare peeche the aur hume yahi jagaa soojha. Hum yaha aagaye. Saab aap humare paise dedijiye, hum videsh bhaag jayege."
"videsh?" *laughs hard* "videsh jaaoge? Haan?"
"saab hum uss ladki ke peeche kisi aur ko lagaa denge. Please humari aakhri galti samjhke maa kijiye saab."
"thik hai, jaao tum videsh. Aaj tum dono ki kismet acchi hai. acha mood mei hu main, kyu ki kal mere bete ki shadi hai. waise main CID se kyu Daru? Woh bhi iss mystery ko suljhaa nhi payenge! Hahahaha"
He laughs and hands him some money. The goons leave happily. They go to get in their car only to see police, Freddy and Pankaj waiting for them. They are arrested.
And the other guy who is supposed to attack Tarika again is also nabbed in the wee hours of the night.
.End of Flashback.
Avinash's jaw drops...
Avinash- "papa.. iska matlub... aapne? Aapne kia ye sab?"
Rajeev tries to run but Daya stops him and slaps him. He cries saying he doesn't want to confess this before his son. He doesn't want his son to be ashamed of him. Avinash says he's ashamed. He will never be able to call him his father again. He sarcastically says this is the best gift given by him on his wedding day. Avi cries and Naina hugs him, Tarika too consoles him...
Daya- "ab bataayiye... kyu kia aapne ye sab..."
Rajeev- "maine nhi kia sir.. main kyu karunga?"
ACP- "paison k liye. Humari investigation mei pata chala ki, shopping mall khada kar rahe hai aap Nayi Dilli mei?"
Abhi- "aur use venture k liye paise kam padgaye, tho ye danda shuru kardiya. Yaha pe jinki bhi shaadi hoti, unko drug kia, fir unhe blackmail karke, unse bohot paise liye, sab apne account mei transfer kardiya. Fir unhe antidote nhi dekar unki maut ki waja bangaye aap! Sahi keh rahe hai na hum?"
ACP- "chup rehne se kuch nhi hoga boliye-"
Rajeev- "haan! Haan maine kia. Maine kia ye sab. Kya karta main? Mere shopping mall k liye paise nayi mil rahe the. Aur ye palace, yaha se bhi paise nhi aarahe kyu ki isspe apvah fail gaya, ki ye bhootiya hai. log yaha shaadi karna tho door, dekhne bhi nhi aate the. Tho isliye maine, maine Mumbai ki uss marriage website se tieup karliya. Iss palace ki khoobsurati, aur kum daam ki laalach mei log ye hall book karne lage. Yaha shadiya hone lagi. Tab maine socha ki kyu na aur paise kamaayei jaye. Issliye maine ye drug, jisse dheere dheere aadmi ki maut hoti hai, woh unko dediya-"
ACP- "kaise dete the tum ye?"
Rajeev- "khane mei milaake..."
Abhi- "ye drug sirf unn do logo ko dete hona, jinki shaadi horahi hai?"
Rajeev- "ji sir. Kyu ki ye drug bohot costly hai."
Daya- "aur iss kaam mei woh waiters kaam aate the."
Rajeev- "haa sir. Waiters ko paise dekar main unnse wo kaam karwaata tha."
Abhi- "aur jab woh log kehdete ki hume yaha kaam nhi karna, tho tum unhe maardete the... aur palace k pichle hisse ke ek kamre mei sadne k liye chod dete the..."
Sachin- "waiters aise gayab hote the. Aur saara dosh uss bhoot pe gaya, jo hai hi nhi haan?"
Rajeev- "haan sir"
ACP- "aur uss reporter. Ussko bhi tumne maara?"
Rajeev- "haan sir, uska accident karwaya. kyu ki woh, woh sach jaan chukka tha... uske marne k baad mujhe lagaa mujhe koi pakad nhi payega. Ab sab log maante hai, ki ye sab bhoot ka khel hai lekin.."
Abhi- "lekin Avinash ye case solve karna chahta tha..."
Rajeev- "haan. Maine usko manaa kia. Par woh nhi maana. Aur usski dost Tarika CID mei hai. main ghabraa gaya tha. Mere aadmi inpe nazar rakh rahe the. Uss din cell tower ke paas, inhone humare aadmi ko dekhliya tha..."
Daya- "tho aapke aadmi bhaag gaye. Aur Tarika ko pakad ke waha fek diya, jaha woh laashei sad rahi thi..."
Rajeev- "haan... mujhe nhi pata woh kaise bachgayi..."
Abhi- "kyu ki unn mei sachhayi hai... acchayi hai samjhe! Aapki tarah naa hai woh..."
ACP- "sharm aani chahiye aapko Rajeev ji... "
Avinash- "main sharminda hu ki itna bada criminal ka beta hu main... main duniya se nazar kaise milaapaunga. Aaj meri shaadi hai sham ko... kya pata Naina ne shadi tod di ye kehte hue, tera baap criminal hai. tu bhi waisa nikla tho.. main kya karunga... paise, paison k liye insaan itna gir jaata hai.. aur aap itna gir jayenge.. humne nhi socha tha..."
Rajeev cries... Naina hugs Avi..
Naina- "Avi.. issmei tumhari koi galti nhi hai. I know tum ache insaan ho..."
Avi hugs her back and cries... Rajeev is taken into custody.
ACP- "itne saare khoon.. itni badi saazish... aapko phaansi hogi Rajeev ji... phaansi!"
Avi cries more as his dad is taken away... no one around seemed to console him.

. . . EPILOGUE . . .
High drama ensues that day as Naina's family decides to cancel the wedding. However CID team, Tarika, naina convince then that it is unfair to cancel this wedding, especially when Avi is left alone after his dad is arrested.
They all agree. Avi is joined by his chacha who's now a tea seller. Avi requests him to stay with him. Chacha says you are like my son. I will be there with you in this difficult hour.
The wedding takes place.
The team congratulates them.
Avinash- "thank you sir! Aap logo ki waje se sab thik hogaya. Haan ye bhoolna aasan nhi hai ki mere papa ne ye sab kia hai. lekin khushi iss baat ki hai, ki ab iss haweli pe lagaa hua daag nikal gaya. Haan, bohot mushkil hai firse woh khoyi hui izzat kamaana humareliye, but with Naina and Chacha ji by my side, I'm sure it will work out!"
ACP- "it will work out. Tum deete hue kal ke bare mei mat socho Avinash. Acche kaam karte rehna. Sab accha hoga-"
Daya- "We wish you a happy married life."
Avinash- "thank you sir..."
Abhi- "Aakhir tumhari shadi ho hi gayi haan. Ab ek aur shaadi hona baaki hai"
Avinash- "ek aur... kiski shaadi sir?"
Abhi- "meri aur kiski... haha"
Daya and CID team smiles, Avi-Naina are curious.
Avinash- "accha kon hai sir woh lucky lady?"
Abhi- "arey lucky tho main hu. Ki woh meri zindgi mei aayi. Mujhe tho kabhi pata bhi nhi tha ki main kabhi aisa bhi ho sakta hu, jaise main uske saat rehta hu. Mujhe ye bhi nhi pata tha ki main kisi se itna pyar kar sakta hu..."
Avinash & Naina- "arey wah sir! Aap tho shayer bangaye... boliye na kon hai woh..."
Abhijeet smiles and gently extends his hand towards Tarika who's standing beside Naina.
Abhi- "Tarika ji, shayad aur bhi behter tareeke honge ye baat kehne k liye. Par... aap jaanti hai na, aapko dekh k meri bolti band hojaati hai. Abhi puchleta hu..."
Tarika nods unable to speak anything...
Abhi- "Tarika ji, pichle kuch dino mei, aapke paas hote hue bhi door rehke mujhe ehsaas hua ki kya hai aap mereliye. Ehsaas tho shayad pehle hi tha, par usey manzil tak lejaane ki himmat nhi thi..."
Tarika smiles widely now guessing what will come nxt...
Abhi- "tarika ji... kya aap mujhse shaadi karengi?"
Happy tears escape her eyes and she nods smiling widely. Everyone clap as she wipes her tears away. They look at each other, their eyes conveying the unspoken love they have for each other.
Tarika hugs Naina... Abhi is hugged by Daya and is congratulated...
Daya- "finally boss! I'm happy for both of you. Mujhe kahii dino se Tarika ko bhabhiji bulaana tha..."
Everyone laugh...
Abhi- "haa bulaao bhai.. bulaao-"
Daya- "waise badi himmat dikhayi aaj tumne... haan? Mujhe tho laga tha ki tum, tarika ji, tarika ji kehte reh jaaoge.."
Abhi- "arey tumne meri hawaa nikaaldi yar. Itne bhi darpok nhi hai hum. Arey pyar kia tho darna kya haan? Aur waise bhi main itne din shaadi k khayal se bhaagta raha kyu ki, mujhe usee din shaadi karni hai, jiss din teri shaadi hogi... aur aaj tumhe bhi koi mila... "
Abhi looks at Shreya who's beside Daya..
Daya- "arey ye tum.."
Dareya blush...
Sachin- "ab do-do shaadiyan hongi wow..."
There are more claps...
Rajat- "do nhi sir... teen..."
Abhi- "hei? Teen?"
Daya- "rajat? Tujhe bhi shaadi karni hai kya..."
Rajat- "shadi tho karni hai na sir..."
Daya- "accha? Shadi kar raha hai, tho ladki dhoondha?"
Rajat- "ladki tho pehle se hai sir... par ehsaas bhi abhi hua ki, bas ek woh hai mereliye... aap logo ko dekh kar mujhe himmat mili ki main apne dil ki baat bol sakuu, agar aaj nhi bola tho pata nhi kab keh paunga..."
Abhi- "ek minute Rajat woh ladki bhi yahi hai..."
Rajat- "haan sir woh humare beech hi hai"
Abhi- "arey wah... kon?"
Rajat looks at Purvi and everyone follow his gaze. Naina squeals...
Naina- "dekha mainuu pata tha..."
Rajat- "Purvi... I dunno ye sahi jagaa hai ya nhi dil ki baat bolne k liye. Har acche-bure waqt mei mere saat rahi tum, meri aajtak ki sabse acchi dost banke rahi. tumhara tho pata nhi, par main... meri zindgi ke har din, har pal mei tumhara saat hona zaruri hai. tumhari soch agar meri soch se alag hai... tho abhi yahi bataado..."
Rajat hangs his head low, not looking at her... Purvi smiles and walks to him...
Purvi- "aisa nhi sochti tho saat kyu rehti tumhare?"
He looks at her and she loops her arm with his...
Purvi- "tumhara diya hua rose bhi hai mere paas..."
Rajat- "haan tho tumhara jawab... woh nhi bataaya tumne..."
Purvi- "samjhe nhi?"
He shakes his head, hiding his smile.
Purvi- "I love you too..."
she whispers in his ear and everyone smiles, claps and cheers for them.
Daya turns to Shreya... this is it, he has to say it too..
Daya- "Shreya main..."
Shreya- "shh.."
She shushes him.
Shreya- "aapko kuch kehne ki zarurat nhi hai. aapki dil ki awaz sunnliya maine..."
He smiles and takes her hand giving it a gentle squeeze. She smiles back. Its their way of saying 'I love you'.
