Scene starts in Oberoi Mansion, Samtik's room.

Kartik was lying on Shalu's lap to which Shalu caressed his hair...meanwhile....Shreya, Sameer and Ishqi were already asleep in the same room.

Shalu(caressing Kartik's hair): Kal ke liye tickets book liye na?
Kartik: Hmm....
Shalu: Tu theek hain na beta?
Kartik: Haan Maa....main bilkul theek hoon....aap aisa kyun pooch rahe ho?
Shalu: Pata nahi kyun par....mujhe teri baaton mein ek udaasi si nazar aayi. Tu khush hain na beta?
Kartik sat up and held Shalu's hand.
Kartik: Aap aisa kyun pooch rahe ho?
Shalu: Bas aise hi....kabhi kabhi mujhe lagta hain ki main tere saath galat toh nahi kar rahi hoon?
Kartik: Arrey....aisa kyun soch rahe ho?
Shalu: Beta...harr insaan ka haq hota hain ki vo apne life partner ko khud choose kare lekin.....tere liye teri jeevansaathi ko maine.....chuna hain. Priya tujhse pyaar karti hain aur isiliye maine teri aur Priya ki shaadi taer kar di lekin ek baar bhi tujhse nahi poocha.
Kartik(with a slight smile): Main khush hoon Maa.....Priya bohot acchi ladki hain....meri bestfriend hain....mujhse bohot pyaar karti hain aur meri biggest supporter hain. Isse badh kar mujhe aur kya chahiye hoga?
Shalu: Par beta....kya tu bhi usse pyaar karta hain?
Kartik: Main usse pyaar karta hoon ki nahi yeh nahi pata mujhe Maa lekin.....itna zaroor jaanta hoon ki main Priya ke saath khush rahunga...(cupping Shalu's face)...isiliye aap tension free ho jaaiye.
Shalu(with a slight smile): Accha laga sunn kar baccha.
Kartik: Ab so jaao jaldi....kal waapis jaana hain....dopahar ki flight hain. Dawai li na aapne?
Shalu nodded positively with a smile.
Shalu lied down on the bed and Kartik lied down.
Shalu(in mind): Mujhe jis baat ka darr hain...kahi vo toh sach toh nahi hoga na Baba jii? Kartik ko uski khushiyaan milegi na? Mujhe toh Ayush ke saath apni khushiyaan nahi mili......par mere bacchon ko unke jeevansaathi ke saath unki khushiyaan mile...aisa hi karna plz.

Scene shifts to the terrace,
Rhea...fighting against her own mind....came to the terrace to have some moments of peace when she spotted Priya sitting at the edge of the terrace...on the railing...staring at the shooting star...praying something.
Rhea: Kya maanga?
Priya turned around and saw Rhea sitting down beside her on the railing with a slight smile.
Priya(with a smile): Jeevan bharr ka saath maanga.....Kartik ka.
Rhea's smiled vanished hearing this.
Rhea: Vo toh tumhara hone waala pati hain aur use toh tumhare saath hi....
Priya(with a sad smile): Bachpan se le kar aaj tak....jab bhi maine kisi se pyaar kiya hain....kisi ko apne poore dil se chaha hain....Bhagwaan jii ne hamesha mujhse uss insaan ko cheen liya hain. Bas isiliye....iss baar mujhse mera special insaan durr na ho jaaye....wahi wish maangi.
Rhea: Um..tumse ek sawaal poochu?
Priya: Haan...sure....
Rhea: Kartik tumhare liye itna special kyun hain Priya?
Priya(with a slight smile): Iss sawaal ka koi definite jawab nahi hain. Bas ek baat hain....jab bhi main Kartik ke saath hoti hoon...main khush hoti hoon...bas itna hi. Waise...tumhari life mein special insaan kaun hain?
Rhea: Koi nahi....meri life mein koi special insaan nahi hain.
Priya: Aisa toh nahi ho sakta.....accha tum na apni aankhein band karo....
Rhea: Kyun?
Priya: Arrey karo na yaar.....
Rhea closed her eyes with a sigh.
Priya: Ab apne mind se saare khyaal nikaal do....bilkul relaxed ho jaao. Aur fir ek gehri saans lo.
Rhea took a deep breath.
Priya: Ab socho.....kaun hain aisa.....jiske saath harr ek pal sukoon waala lagta hain.
Kartik's face appeared infront of Rhea's eyes.
Priya: Kaun hain aisa jiske aas paas reh kar tum safe feel karti ho....jise tum kabhi musibat mein nahi dekh sakti?
Kartik's face again appeared infront of Rhea's eyes.
Priya: Aisa kaun hain....jiske paas jaa kar tumhare dil ki dhadkane tez ho jaati hain aur tum sab kuch bhool kar bas usi pal mein atak jaati ho?
The moments when Rhea was close to Kartik flashed in her mind.
