ISOLATED PLACE :
Raghav : "this time..i won't leave you
alive..i'll make sure..u die..right here..right
in front of me..."...he again laughed..and
whole place echoed with his evil grin...
She was scared but on top of that she was
thinking "who is this person?".."the voice is
so familiar"..while Raghav start approaching
towards..
Raghav : "i think i should remove my face
cloth..akhir tumhe bhi toh pata chale..who is
me.."..and he removed his black cloth from
his face..and move towards her to remove
the cloth from her face as well..
AT THE MALL :
Manik was maniacally running all over in
the mall from one corner to other..he was
scared to hell..everyone else were also
searching for nandini..while the people were
just witnessing their restlessness..Manik was
not in his senses...he was very much
agitated..he was running madly looking here
n there..after being out of breath ..he stood
straight..bent down a little..he put both his
hands on his both knees..and looked a liitle
up..and murmured "NANDINI.."..but then he
stood straight and shouted to the peak
"NANDIIINIII"...he again start running here
n there..but stopped in the mid way..and
was hell shocked..
ISOLATED PLACE :
Raghav came towards her and removed the
cloth from her face..and what he
found..made him stun..while she was also
shocked after finding Raghav standing in
front of him..
Raghav : "TUM?"...he shout..
She was only looking at him blankly
"RAGHAV SIR"..."YEH SAB APNE KIYA"...
Raghav : "TUM YAHAN KYA KARHI
HO..WHERE THE HELL IS NANDINI"...he
shouted looking at her..
Now she just sniggered at his face and then
said "WAHI ..JAHAN USE HONA
CHAHIYE..MANIK KE PAAS"...she said
mockingly while he was highly pissed..with
the backfire of his plan..
AT THE MALL :
While running..manik freezed on his
path..and astound on what he found..there
was SHE..coming towards him..he just sigh a
relief..and smiled a bit..and then ran
towards her..and hugged her tightly in front
of all..his friends were also very
happy..after finding Nandini safe and
sound...she just tilted a bit with the sudden
hug with such intensity ..but she hugged him
back with equal force..after a while..Manik
broke the hug and cupped his face..
Manik : "tum..you are fine na..kaha chali gai
thi tum..tumhe pata bhi hai..mai kitna dar
gaya tha.."..he start blabbering while
checking her hands,shoulders,face..
Nandini just cupped his face and tried to
calm her down..but he was still blabbering
continuously that "MAI..KITNA DAR GAYA
THA..TUMHE KUCH HUA TOH NAHI
NA..TUM KAHA CHALI GAYI THI.."...she
without wasting a single second hugged him
tight in her embrace..and he also hugged her
more tightly and they both closed their
eyes..while Nandini rubbed his back to sooth
him..their friends came towards them..
Nandini : after breaking the hug ..cupped
his face in her palm "Manik..am fine..mai
bilkul theek hoon..please shant ho jao..and
why you were shouting..maine jese he
tumhari awaaj suni..pata hai mai kitna dar
gayi thi..that's why i came running towards
you.."
Manik : "mene tumse kaha tha na..kahi mat
jana..just stand there in front of my
eyes..but u love to torture me na..kaha chali
gayi thi"...he said after removing her hands
from his face ...
Nandini : "manik ..mai ...toh bas..."..but
cabir cut her in between..
Cabir : "han ..nandini..tum kaha chali gayi
thi..you knew...it's not safe .."..
Nandini : "han cabir..i know...but mai yahin
thi..and i wasn't alone also..i was
with..."..she paused and start looking here n
there..and then she panicked..
Nandini : "GUYS..WHERE IS
NAVYA??"..."SHE WAS WITH ME..BUT
..NOW WHERE IS SHE?"...now..it drew their
attention..they didn't even noticed all this
while..that Navya is missing..they were so
terrified after finding nandini missing..that
they didn't realized ..Navya is not there with
them...and all of them were baffled..
ISOLATED PLACE :
Raghav : he moved towards the goons and
punched one of them..then hold the other
one's collar "EK KAAM BHI THEEK SE NAHI
HOTA NA TUM LOGO SE..NANDINI KI
JAGAH TUM IS NAVYA KO UTHA LAYE
HO.."...he shouted with anger..
Navya : she laughed loudly on which Raghav
look towards her "are un logo ko kyu maar
rahe ho..zara humari taraf dekho..dhayan
se.."...
Now..Raghav look carefully at her and he
found she was wearing exactly the same
clothes..which nandini was wearing in the
mall..the same..royal blue anarkali
suit..exactly the same..
Navya : "ab kuch samjh aaya.."..she said
mockingly..
Raghav : "tumne nandini ki dress kyu pehni
hui hai"..he said in confusion..
Navya : "ufffo!! hume nahi pata tha tum itne
dumb ho..of course ..Yeh sab humne
kiya..INTENTIONALLY.. "...and she smiled to
the fullest .."KAISA LAGA..JHATKA.."..and
she again laughed at his face..
Now..Raghav was more angry and start
figuring out.."YEH SAB HUA KESE"..but he
wasn't able to join the links..
Navya : "Raghav..don't..don't pressurize
your pea size brain so much.."..she said
jeeringly..while he glared at her..but his
glares didn't affect her a bit even and she
continued ..."Main hoon naa..mai batati
tumhara MAHAAN plan flop kese hua.."
(flashback)
While everyone was sitting in the car to visit
mall..Navya realized she forgot her handbag
inside..so she thought to fetch it..and she went
inside..when she say her bag on the couch..she
quickly went towards it..and grab it..just then she
saw..Manik's phone on the table..and thought "yeh
manik bhi na..hamesha kuch na kuch bhool jaata
hai.."...she then picked his cell..and just then a
message appeared on the phone screen and by
mistaken it got open..and Navya was totally shocked
after reading the message..
Navya : "yeh..iska matlab..humara bahar jaana..is
very dangerous..hum kya kare ..han..hum sabko bata
dete hai.."...she start moving towards the gate but
stopped in mid..and again thought..
Navya : "nahi..agar humne abhi sabko bataya..toh
sab pareshan ho jaenge..but..humara yeh janna bhi
jaruri hai ki..yeh kaun hai jo nandini ko harm karna
chahta hai.."...she paused for sometime and then
thought "hum bahar jarur jaenge.."..she said with
determination..and just then she heard some foot
steps..and quickly put down the phone back on table
after deleting the message and went outside from
back gate..while Manik came inside and went out
after picking up his phone...
AT THE MALL :
Navya was roaming in the mall..while MaNan were
together..she saw them and thought "jab tak manik
hai nandini ke sath ..she is safe..but hume kuch
karna hoga..just then she saw the exact same dress
in the shop..as nandini is wearing ..so she went in
and bought it..after sometime she joined others
also.."
When Fab-5 were performing on the stage..Navya
observed that some people are keeping eye on
Nandini..and she figured out them as the
goons...then she got a idea..so when Manik closed
his eyes while singing..she came towards nandini
and asked her to join her in washroom..nandini
agreed and they went towards the washroom..while
they were inside..navya asked her to go in..while she
will guard outside..so nandini went inside the
loo..while navya changed her dress in the same
outfit of nandini..with open hairs..just like nandini
do..she came outside ..and when goons find her in
nandini's dress..they misinterpreted her as
nandini..and put black cloth on her face from her
back and tied her hands on her back and went
outside with her...
Navya : she thought "ab hum jaankar rahenge ki
woh kaun hai jo hamari family ko todna chahta
hai.."..and they made her sit inside the van and
drove away..
(flashback end)
Navya : "so..kaisi lagi humari planning"...she
said amusingly with a grin..while Raghav
was hell frustrated with this sudden turn of
events..
But after some time his flustered face turn
into a mischievous smirk..which make Navya
confused..
Raghav : "you think ..you are smart..but
no..you aren't..tumne nandini ko toh bacha
liya..but..ab tumhe kaun bachaega
..hmmm.."...
Navya : she instead of getting scared with
his remark ..start laughing loudly..now it
was time for Raghav to get confuse..
Raghav : "apne end ko itna paas dekh ke
pagal ho gai ho kya.."..he remarked out of
confusion but with a smirk..
Navya : she control her laugh and said "tum
mujhe itna idiot samjhte ho..agar mai itna
kuch plan kar sakti hoon..toh ..maine kuch
aur bhi toh plan kiya hoga na.."...he looked
towards her with confusion.."yaar tum kitne
idiot ho.."..he glared at her and she
continued.."maine sab kuch plan kiya
tha..my every single step was fully
planned..tum bhool rahe ho..mai fab-5 ke
sath last 3 years se hoon..toh kuch toh asar
aaya hoga na.."..she smiled to the fullest..and
winked at him..he again got angry..
Navya : "so..ab tum apne baarei mei
socho..because jab un logo ko pata chalega
na..they will bury you alive..and u know
them very well..fab-5 insaan nahi jaanwar
hai..remember..."...she
smirked..while..Raghav was scared and in
deep thoughts ..what to do..as his trick has
fallen back on him only..
AT THE MALL :
Cabir : "Navya kaha hai..humne mei se kisi
ne notice kese nahi kiya..woh gayi
kahan.."..he was very worried..and so as
others..he start looking here n there and
then made a call to her..but her phone start
ringing in his pocket only...he picked out the
cell out of his pocket and looked at phone
turning it back and front..
Cabir : "navya ka phone meri pocket mei
kese?.."..he said while looking at the
phone..then he saw some messages in his
phone ..
Cabir : "navya ke message ..mere phone
mei?..."..and by saying this..he opened the
messages and read it loudly.. "CABIR
RELAX..HUMARI BAAT DHYAN SE
SUNO..KOI THA ..JO NANDINI KO HARM
KARNA CHAHTA THA..WO NANDINI KO
KIDNAP KARNE MALL MEI AAYE

After reading the complete
message..everyone was hell terrified...but it
was not the time to get tensed..Navya was in
deep danger and they have to save her first..
Manik : "Cabir..jaldi..let's trace her
location..open her cell..plz"..he said while
looking at cabir's horrified face..He quickly
opened her cell phone and got her
location..they all run towards the car and sat
inside..and Manik drive the car as fast as he
can..
ISOLATED PLACE :
Raghav was walking to and fro..he wasn't
able to figure out..what he has to do next..as
fab-5 and others ..can be reach any
moment..he knew..Navya isn't lying at
all..she must have planned something
big..on the other hand..Navya was really
chilled out...she was amusingly watching
Raghav's horrified face..she was enjoying
every bit of it..
Navya self thought : "Raghav..tumne hum
sab ko ..itni takleef di hai..ki ..yeh jo thodi si
tension tumhare face pe hai..wo kuch bhi
nahi hai..uske aage..jo Manik Nandini ne
jhela..par tumhe aese dekh ke..hume bahut
sukoon mil raha hai..agar iske baad ..aaj
humara akhiri din bhi ho..toh bhi
hume..gum nahi..."...she thought with a
broad smile on her face..
Raghav instructed something to all the
goons..and they all left and brought petrol
in galore cans ..Navya was confused...and
Raghav evilly smirked while looking at her...
He start pouring petrol from the can making
circle all around making Navya as center
and threw the can in a corner and said ..
Raghav : "tumhe kya laga..i will accept
defeat so easily..although tumne achi
planning ki hogi..but..m always one step
ahead..if i can kill nandini..then why can't i
kill you.."...he said in a devilish tone..
Navya : "jab un sabko ..pata chalega..that
you did all this..they will make your life
hell..."...she said angrily..
Raghav : "tch..tch..tch..aahhh..Navya ..tum
kitni innocent ho.."..he said mockingly ..."jab
tak un sabko pata chalega..tab tak.."..he
paused and then whistled ..pointing his
finger upwards and looked up..and
said.."tab tak..tum upar pahuch chuki
hogi..aur ..CABIR..yes..your beloved
CABIR..bilkul wesa he ban chuka hoga..jesa
Manik..tha,..in 2 years mei..remember.."...he
said..and laughed...
He picked out match box from his pocket
and lit it..while Navya closed her eyes and
remembered..
Cabir saying "I LOVE YOU MADHUBALA"..he kissed
her for 1st time..Manik saying "you are my
sister.."..and hugged her tight..She remember ..how
Nandini protected her from fab-5 in starting days of
college..she remembered every beautiful moments
spent with fab-5 and nandini...
A smile start playing on her lips and tears
escaped from her closed eyes..but before it
fell down..she found a soft touch on her
cheek..and when she opened her eyes..found
Cabir kneeling in front of her ..
Navya : "Cabir.."...she said with a bright
smile..he smiled a bit and wiped her tears
and free her hand which was tide with the
chair and made her stand and hugged her
tightly...while she also reciprocate the hug
with equal force..
On the other hand..just when raghav lite the
match stick and about to throw it..somebody
from behind hold his hand..and when
raghav turned back..found Manik standing
..spitting fire on him with his eyes..
(background Manik's entry tune in ky2) ...Raghav
was shocked to the core when found Manik
standing infront of him..but before Raghav
could react..he found himself on the
floor..due to Manik's punch on his
face..while other came towards Navya and
hugged her...and asked if she is ok..and she
just nodded in yes..Now Cabir was hell
angry and found Raghav on the floor..and
he quickly moved towards him and grabbed
him by his collar and gave a tight punch in
his stomach..on which he yelled with pain..
Cabir : "himmat kese hui ..teri..meri Navya
ko hurt karne ki...tune ..Nandini ko humse
alag kiya"...he again punched tight in his
stomach..and threw him on the floor..then
Manik came towards him and picked him up
from his collar and glared at him..and start
beating him black n blue..looking all
this..the other dogs (goons) ran away
leaving Raghav alone..
Manik saw a electric circuit nearby and
remembered how Nandini spent 2 years in
Mental asylum ..he grabbed him angrily and
brought a chair near the circuit and tied him
on the chair and brought naked electric wire
towards him..Raghav was hell scared looking
at the wires..while other was also
scared..Nandini tried to come towards
Manik..to stop him..but Cabir stopped her by
holding her hand..and nodded a No..while
Nandini tilted her head with a pleading
look..
Cabir : "nahi nandini..let him do that..it will
give him peace..please.."..he hold her hand
and said..
While Manik brought wires towards him and
with it's open end ..made touch raghav's
hands..and gave electric shock to
him...Raghav screamed with pain..and
Nandini remembered how she yelled every
night in asylum while they gave shocks to
her..Manik tortured him for sometime and
then came towards his face and said..
Manik : "ab pata chala...how it feels..to get
electric shocks.."...he said while glaring at
him..Raghav with difficulty raised his face to
look in Manik's eyes..and Manik continued
"Kyu kiya tumne yeh sab..kyu?..."...he
shrieked..
Raghav : "because i hate you manik..i hate
you.."..he said with great difficulty as his
whole body was paining badly..all were
confused except Manik..
Manik : "tumne itna sab kiya..just because i
threw you out from SPACE.."...he retorted
back..
Raghav : "Nahi..sirf itna he reason nahi
hai.."..he smiled smugly..
Raghav : "tumhare dad ki wajah se..mere
dad bankrupt ho gaye..tumhare dad ne mere
dad ka business take over kar liya tha..jiski
wajah se hum sadak pe aa gaye..mere dad ne
toh ek chota sa scam kiya tha..aur tumhare
dad he brought us on road..my dad died..he
committed suicide..he died because of your
father..i was only 10 years old..when i lost
him..meri puri childhood struggle karte
karte nikal gayi.."...he screamed..and then
continue.."jab mai badha hua..then i came to
SPACE to seek revenge from your dad..as he
was one of the trusty there..but then i found
..he is no longer in space academy..but i
found you there..i tried a lot to harm
you..but you always escaped..then one
day..nandini found me..misbehaving with a
student..and she...she slapped me..iski
himmat kese hui mujh par hath uthane
ki.."...he looked angrily towards her..while
she glared at him back..
Raghav : he shift his gaze towards Manik
"aur tum ..tumne mujhe pure college ke
samne maara..and made me out of
SPACE.."...he paused for
sometime..everybody looking at him with lot
of anger ..he continued "then i started spy
on you..and found..Nandini whom you first
hated the most..has now became your
soul..aur tab mujhe..THE MANIK
MALHOTRA ko break karne ka plan mil
gaya..and it was THE END OF
NANDINI..."...he smirked..he again
continue.."Sab kuch maine kiya..from
nandini's accident to her mental
asylum..everything was my plan.."..he
smiled smugly..
while Manik can't hold more..and again
punched him on his face..and blood start
flowing from Raghav's mouth..but still he
was laughing..which was bugging manik
more..he then found a iron rod in a side and
picked it up..he was about to hit him ..just
when nandini screamed in terror
"MANIIIKKK"...and Cabir,ayaan,abhi,dhruv
ran towards him to stop Manik..but he was
agitated..they all hold him tight on
stop..whereas he was struggling in their
grip...and shouting,..
Manik : "i will kill this jerk...choro
mujhe..leave..."...His eyes were spitting
fire..just then police arrived there as Manik
has already called them while they were on
their way..Police arrested him and took him
away..but Manik was still in
vexation..Nandini ran towards him and
without thinking anything..hugged him
tight..while Manik also requite the hug..it
was a much needed hug..as only her warmth
can calm him down..soon other also came
towards him..and he broke the hug..and just
when his eyes fell on navya..he came
towards her and hugged her tightly and then
said after breaking the hug..
Manik : "tum theek ho na..kya jarurat
thi..itna badha risk lene ki..tumhe kuch ho
jata..toh hum kya karte navya..tumne kisi ke
baarei mei nahi socha..cabir ke baarei mei
bhi nahi.."..he looked towards Cabir and she
also looked at him and then faced Manik
back..
Navya : "hume pata tha..tum sab ke hote
..hum kuch nahi ho sakta..aur wese bhi..hum
MANIK MALHOTRA ki behan hai..kuch toh
asar aayega na..."...she said with a smile and
they all also smiled..and hugged each other
together..
AAHANA'S FARMHOUSE :
Everyone was in navya's room..nandini was
sitting beside her..caressing her wounds on
navya's hand appeared due to the rope..
Nandini : "kya jarurat thi..tumhe itna sab
karne ki..agar tumhe kuch ho jata toh.."..she
said looking towards the wounds and a tear
escaped from her eyes..Navya made her face
look up..
Navya : "hum theek hai..nandini.."..and
hugged Nandini tight..and nandini saw Cabir
standing on the door very quietly..she
realized what must he have gone through
with..so she broke the hug and left with all
of them..leaving CaVya alone...
After all left..she looked at Cabir ..who was
still standing on the door..she said "CABIR"..
..he came running towards her and cling
tightly in her embrace..she requited his love
back..they both stayed like that only ..for
sometime..and then after breaking the hug
..cabir said..
Cabir : "agar tumhe kuch ho jata toh..mai
maar he jata navya..please ese dubara mat
karna..i can't even think to live without
you.."...and he kissed her forehead..she was
teary and so as Cabir..she hugged him again
and they both slept in each other's arm..
MANIK'S ROOM :
Manik was lying in nandini's lap on the
bed..while Nandini was running her fingers
in his hairs..there was complete silence in
the whole room...
Nandini : "manik"..she broke the silence..
Manik : "hmm"...while his eyes were closed..
Nandini : "kuch kahoge nahi.."..she knew
there is lot in manik's heart but he isn't
letting it out..
Manik was still silent..which was making her
more worried..
Nandini : "please..manik..don't be
silent..."...she said pleadingly..
Manik : "it was because of me..you suffered
in that hell..because of me..Navya's life was
on stake today..because of me.."...finally he
blurted out..Nandini made her sit and
cupped her face..he was looking
downwards..
Nandini : "Manik..listen to me
carefully..Raghav ne jo bhi kiya..that was to
take revenge..us mei tumhari koi galti nahi
thi..he was wrong..not you..stop blaming
yourself for each n everything
manik..please.."..
Manik : "Nandini..i never let anyone come
close to me..the reason was my own
father..he left me and mom..when i was a
small kid..and i hate him for it..but i know
one thing..when it comes to business..my
dad never ever forgive those who cheated
on him..Raghav did all this to seek
revenge..he tried to kill you..because..he
came to know..u r my life.."..
Nandini : "Manik..whatever Raghav did to
me...uska ek reason aur bhi hai..other than
this..and that is..wo apni insult ka revenge
lena chahta tha..maine use thappad mara
tha..Manik this revenge thing na..yeh kisi se
kuch bhi kara leta hai..and this guilt of
yours..yeh tumhe hamesha pareshaan
karega..please let it go..ab sab theek ho
chuka hai..we all are together..."...she smiled
after saying all this..and now..a sweet smile
appear on his face as well..
He hugged her and they both lay down..and
after cuddling..they both slept peacefully in
each other's arms..they closed their eyes..as
a new day..a new beginning..without any
fear is waiting for them...
