Everyone was enjoying the party. Some talking, some just roaming, and some romancing with their better halves. Whole Vadhera family and Chaudhry family were cherishing this moment by spending most of the time with each other.
After some time Vanshika told everyone that food is being serving which gained everyone's attention. Now all were busy eating food.
M:Viraat. Aaj ka din kitna acha hai na. Saari family ek saath hai. Hamare bache hamare saath hain aur most importantly sab bahut khush hain.
V:Haan Maanvi. Main toh chahta hu yeh din kabhi khatam hi na ho.
M:Aisa nahi hosakta kya.
V:Ek kaam hosakta hai.
M:Kya
V:Selfie.
M:Khana khate waqt
V:Toh. Jis tarah pyaar karne ka koi ek time nahi hota ussi tarah selfie bhi kabhi bhi kahin bhi kle sakte hain. So...Camera main dekho
Click.
M:Viraat dikhao na kaisi aai hai pic.
V:Ek second. Yeh dekho. Achi picture aai hai.
M:Viraat dekho toh yeh jeevika di, aur yeh maa.
V:Daabu ko dekho zara kaise kha raha hai.
M:Per yeh kon hain.
V:Yeh black dress main na.
M:Haan, thora blur hai.
V:Toh piche mur ke dekh lete hain na budhu.
M:Mujhe kyun budhu bola.
V:Kyunke yeh idea main ne bagair zyada soch kar bataya aur tumne soch kar bhi nahi socha yeh. I think tumhare liye hi ki yeh quote hai Your intelligence is my common sense.
M:Apni philosophy apne pass rakho aur chalo dekhte hain kon agaya. Kahin koi churail toh nahi.
V:Uff chalo. Kabhi kabhi toh lagta hai tum apni di ki real behn nahi ho. Adopted ho. Kyunke woh itni samjhdar aur tum itni bhudhu.
M:Shut up.
V:Apne pati ko koi aise bolta hai.
???: Haan Maanvi apne husband se aise koi baat nahi karta. Agar main hoti toh main Viraat se aise kabhi baat na karti.
Maanvi becomes pissed off as who is this who is giving her advice on how to treat her own husband. She turned behind to see her worst enemy who was once her friend when she was unknown of her attention.
She was feeling scared about seeing her husband's ex-girlfriend in front of her who cheated her husband only for money but then left him when he needed him.
But she consoled herself that she becomes weak in front of her as then she will think she won. So she put up a determined face to face her.
Maanvi: Maya. First of all he is MY husband. Main apne pati ko kya kaho aur kya nahi woh mera personal matter hai aur kissi ko koi haq nahi banta keh woh mujhe koi bhi salah de. Secondly tum meri jagah. Tumhe mauka mila tha per tum ne yeh choose nahi kia. Pyaar nahi paisa choose kia issliye Viraat tumhe nahi mujhe mila. Aur akhri baat, Subah tum aai thi tab tumse baat nahi hopai aur ab jab aai ho Bin Bulai tab bhi main nahi chahti iss party main koi hungama ho so please chali jao toh behtar hoga.
Maya was steaming in fume listening to this. She didn't expected Maanvi to be this strong. Without saying anything she went outside.
Jeevika and Viren saw this from the back so they came to them.
Viren: Viraat yeh Maya yahan pe kya kar rahi thi.
Viraat: Mujhe bhi nahi pata bhai.
Jeevika: Yeh subah bhi aai thi hospital.
She told them the whole story and then how she left in a hurry.
Viren: Mujhe toh kuch garbar lag rahi hai. Agar milne hi aai thi toh mera aur Viraat ka wait toh kar leti. Zaroor iske dimag main kuch chal raha hai.
Jeevika: Hosakta hai hum kuch zyada hi soch rahe hoon. Woh sahih main badal gai ho.
Viren: Nahi jeevika. Jahan tak main usse janta hu, woh badla zaroor le gi. Viraat tu kahan gum hai.
Viraat: Main aata hu.
He went away from them while Maanvi kept on looking at him. Is she still affecting him? This question arose in her mind making her restless.
Jeevika: Maanu tu tension mat le hum sab tere saath hain aur Viraat bhi tere saath hai.
Maanvi: Pata nahi di.
They sensed her tension which is justified.
Viren asked Jeevika to come to the side. Then he told her something. And then the music starts.
Viren: Dunya mai bahut se log hote hain per kuch log hamari zindagi main apna rang jama lete hain aur kuch unhe rango ko mitane ki koshish karte hain. Sahih sacha aur imandaar insaan wohi hai jo woh rang kabhi kissi ki wajah se bhi mitne nahi deta.
Viraat and Maanvi listened to him. It had a very deep meaning inside those words which they clearly understood at that time. As it was coded by their mind they immediately looked at each other as they were alone.

Tumpe hi marte rahe

Jeevika: Viren ji lagta hai in dono ka toh sab thek hogaya. Ab bahut der hogai hai sab ko alvida kehte hain.
Viren: Main maa bari maa ko bolta hu.
In ten minutes or so everyone had gone after praising how good the party was.
Daddaji: Chalo aaj ka din toh bahut acha nikal gaya.
Beeji: Haan bhai saab bahut acha intezaam kia tha.
Vanshika: Yeh saara Jeevika ne kia. Khane ke leke decorations tak.
Daabu: Mujhe toh bahut neend arahi hai.
Vanshika: Aaj ka din bahut acha tha issliye jaldi se guzar gaya per ab pata chal raha hai kitni thakkan hogai hai. Chalo sab sote hain.
Jeevika, Viren, Viraat, Maanvi tum log bhi sojao bahut thak gai hoge.
They all went except for the four.
Jeevika: Chal maanu tu bhi chal. Dawai kahi tune
Maanvi: Haan di kha li.
Viren: Tu bhi jake soja Viraat.
He saw a waiter going outside carrying some glasses.
Viren: Tum abhi kahan jarahe ho sab toh chale gai
Waiter: Woh...woh...sirr
Viraat: Sir sir kya laga rakha hai yeh leke kahan jarahe ho. Chori kar rahe the. Main abhi tumhari company main tumhari complain karta hu.
Waiter: Nahi nahi sir. Please main ne koi chori nahi ki. Woh toh apki hi koi guest hai jo tab se mujhse...
Viren: Kya tumse
Waiter: Mujhse sharab mangwa rahi hain.
Jeevika: Sharab. Woh kaise aai.
Waiter: Unho ne mujhe paise diay aur kahan keh main sharab lao aur unhe bahar serve karta raho warna meri job chali jai gi. Main majboor tha. Sorry sir.
Viren: Hai kon woh
Waiter: Woh koi madam hai
Maya: Main hu woh.
She entered inside but could not walk properly.
Viren: Tum jao ab.
Maya: Main thi woh. Kya kare ge aap. Viraat ki shaadi toh Maanvi se karwa di. Ab kya kare ge aap.
Viren: Tum apne hosh main nahi ho. Chalo mai driver se tumhe ghar bhijwa deta hu.
Maya: Ghar. Yeh hona chahiye tha mera ghar per ab yeh...Maanvi.
She came closer to her and pointed her finger towards her.
Maya: Isne sab khatam kar dia. Mujhe kaha woh mujhe aur Viraat ko kareeb lai gi per khud Viraat se shaadi kar li. You are such a characterless girl.
Viraat: Maya zabaan sambhal ke baat karo.
Maya: Viraat tum mujhpe chilai. Mujhpe. Apni Maya pe woh bhi is gawar Maanvi ki wajah se. Yeh tumhe nahi tumhari fame se pyaar karti hai.
Viren: Tumhare munh se pyaar ka lafz bhi acha nahi lagta. Tumne mere bhai ko barbad kar dia. Woh toh Maanvi hai jiski wajah se woh wapis apni life main aaya hai wapis se music start kia.
Maya: Music. Isko toh aata hi nahi. Mujhe aata hai. Party toh bantiii haiii partyyy toh banti haiii. Dekha mujhe aata hai isse toh music ka m bhi nahi pata.
Jeevika: Maya shaid tumhe pata nahi, music competition main Viraat aur Maanvi first aai thi. Na wahan tum thi na hi honi chahiye.
Maya: Bhabhi ji. Kya naam ka aapka...Haan Jeevika. So old fashioned. Actual main toh yeh sab aapka start kia hua hai. Pehle Viraat ke bhai ko phansaya phir ussi se apni behn ki shaadi karwa di. Wow.
Viraat: Tumhe kaha na tum hosh main nahi hu.
Maya: Hosh main hu main. Aur hosh main kehti hu I love you Viraat. Please mere pass wapis ajao.
Viraat: Meri shaadi ho chuki hai Maya aur ab meri ek beti bhi hai.
Maya: Beti. Are you sure tumhari beti hai? Aisi characterless larkiyoon ka koi bharose nahi hota. Rehti husband ke saath hai per rangreliyaan kissi aur ke..
Before she could complete her sentence she felt a tight slap on her cheek.
Viraat: Kaha tha tumhe chup kar jao. Meri life main kon kya karta hai woh main achi tarah se janta hu. Maanvi tumhari jaisi hazar larkiyoon se behtar hai and I love her. Sunna tumne I love her aur ab Mannat meri life hai.
Maya: Tumne mujhe thapar mara. Iska badla main kaise lu gi tumhe koi idea nahi. Tumhari life main Maanvi aur Mannat important hain na. Agar dono chali jai tab toh tumhe mere pass aana hi pare ga. Now wait and watch. Main kya karti hu tumhe nahi pat...
And she passed out. Viren asked Viraat to leave her in the guest room.
Whole night Maanvi was thinking about Maya's words that she will not leave her. Viraat's condition was not different. Both were in the same room but still in a different world . Then sleep overcome on their thoughts.
It was first day on Maanvi with Mannat in the house. She woke up to find her baby not there. Viraat was sleeping so she didnot woke him.
Shaid Di legai hongi.
She went to freshen up then went downstairs where everyone were looking quite tensed.
Maanvi: Aap log itni tension main kyun hain.
Beeji: Jeevika Viren ne hame bataya Maya ke baare main.
Maanvi: Toh aap log itni tension kyun le rahe ho. Woh drunk thi toh uski baatoon pe gor na kare. Aur Mujhe Viraat pe poora bharosa hai. Woh hame kabhi bhi apni life se dur nahi hone de ga.
Viraat was standing on stairs listening to this and smiled thinking how blessed he is to have her as his life partner.
Viraat: Aur mujhe Maanvi pe aur aap sab pe. Agar hum sab saath hain toh koi kuch nahi kar sakta hai.
Chachi: Ab zyada na bol warna rona ajai ga.
Vanshika: Tum dono nashta karlo.
Maanvi: Aap logo ne kar lia.
Jeevika: Madam hum har roz 8 baje tak kar lete hain agar tumhe yaad ho toh.
Daddaji: Aaj late hogai thek hai warna kal se poore time pe warna
Maanvi: Nashta nahi mile ga.
Bua: Haan. Chalo phir nashta kar lo.
Maanvi: Nashte se pehle main apni angels ko toh dekh lu. Kahan hain
Jeevika: Virika Vidhi ke saath hai. Uska bath time tha toh issliye.
Viraat: Aur bhabhi Mannat
Maanvi: Haan usko bhi Vidhi nehalwa rahi hain?
Viren: Nahi toh woh toh tumhare pass honi chahiye na
Maanvi: Jiju main jab uthi tab tak Mannat toh thi nahi. Mujhe laga Di le gai hongi.
Jeevika: Maine nahi lia usko infact main lene aai thi tab woh apne cot main thi nahi. Mujhe laga tumne bed pe sulaya hai usko.
Maanvi: Maine raat ko toh usse cot main hi rakha tha.
Viraat: Bhabhi aap kab aai thi
Jeevika: Yehi koi 7 baje.
Viren: Aur hum 12 baje soi.
Maanvi: Main toh 2 baje tak soi thi. Tab toh thi.
Viraat: Maine bhi dekha tha usse tab tak toh.
Viren: Jao wapis se dekho upar jake.
They searched for her in the room and asked every servant about her but no avail.
Bua: Woh kahin chal bhi nahi sakti keh crawl karke yahan wahan hojai.
Jeevika: Phir gai kahan
Then a thought came in Viren mind which was indeed very disturbing.
Viren: Maya.
They recalled what she said last night.
Viraat: Ab samjh aaya uska kya matlab tha. Woh sab natak tha uska.
Jeevika: Natak kaise
Viraat: Bhabhi maine abhi uss caterer wale ko phone kia aur unke boss se kaha keh uss waiter se poche toh bataya keh jab woh bahar gaya toh dekha saari sharab giri hui thi. Matlab Maya ne koi sharab nahi pi thi woh sab natak kar rahi thi.
Viren: Woh behosh hoi tahkeh iss ghar main raat reh sake aur phir..
Maanvi: Mannat.
She had tears in her eyes.
Maanvi: Meri Mannat. Di mujhe meri Mannat wapis chahiye. Please wapis kardo mujhe meri Mannat. Jiju kuch karo na. Dhondho meri beti ko. Viraat.
And then she started crying. Viraat hugged her.
Viraat: Shhh Maanvi. Kuch nahi hoga hamari Mannat ko. Tum na lo itni tension tabiyat kharab hojai gi tumhari.
Maanvi: Mujhe meri beti chahiye.
Viraat: Maanvi hum dhondhe ge usse aur tumhe aaj raat ka wapis de de ge.
Maanvi: Promise
Viraat reluctantly promised her but he did not know whether he will be able to fulfill this promise or not. Inder Madan went to a police station while Dabbu went to search in the neighborhood. Viren and Viraat went to Maya's house to find any clue.
When they reached her house, they found that it was locked from outside.
Viraat: Bhai ab kya kare.
Viren: Khirkhi se chalte hain
Through window, they went inside. Everything was normal in the hall. But as soon as they reached her room, they were shocked. There was a board on which there some sticky notes on each there was written some kind of numbers. And on bed photos of Jeevika Viren Maanvi and Mannat.
Viren: In numbers ka kya matlab hai. Aur yeh dekh jo in notes pe hain same in pictures ke piche hain.
Viraat: Mannat ke piche 21281 aur Maanvi ke piche 22291. Bhai aap wale pe 15301 aur bhabhi ka 18311. Yeh kya hai bhai.
Viren: Mere bhi kuch samjh nahi araha.
Viraat: Bhai aisa karo net pe search karo shaid koi clue mil jai:
Viren typed up each number but no avail.
Viren: Kuch toh hai is main. Kuch baara karne wali hai yeh.
Viraat: Maya ka mind itna kharab hoga mujhe nahi pata tha. Meri hi galti hai sab. Agar main usse apni life main shamil hi na karta toh yeh sab na hota.
Viren: Jo hona hota hai woh hokar hi rehta hai. Is main teri kya galti. Tu thori janta tha woh aisi nikle gi. Ab hame in batoon main time waste nahi karna chahiye jald se jald koi aur clue dhondna pare ga.
They searched for anything else in her whole house. Nothing was found apart from notes and photos.
Viren: Mattress ko utha mere saath. Koi jagah nahi chorni chahiye.
And there they found some more pics of an unknown ancient place.
Viraat: Aisi jagah mumbai main toh nahi. Shaid out of city ya out of country.
Viren: Out of country hua toh bahut mushkil hojai gi.
Viraat: Aapka matlab mannat bhi bahar
Viren: Maya Mannat ko bahar leke ja hi nahi sakti. Passport toh hai hi nahi uska.
Viraat: Toh phir India main hi per kahan.
Viren: I think hame police ke pass chalna chahiye.
Police also was confused about these photos and numbers on each picture.
Viraat saw the time it was around 4.
Main ne Maanvi se waada kia hai main usko uski Mannat ko raat tak wapis la ke du ga. Kaise karo ga main. Sirf 8 ghante bache hain.
Police along with Viren and Inder went to her house again and searched for something more. Viraat and Madan searched the place in that picture.
Viren: Kuch pata chala Viraat.
Viraat: Nahi bhai. Aapko?
Viren: Nahi yaar kuch nahi. 7 baj gai hain. 12 ghante se dhondh rahe hain per kuch samjh nahi araha. Tu sochne ki koshish kar kabhi kahin tu aur Maya kissi aisi jagah pe gai ho.
Viraat: Nahi bhai. Kuch yaad nahi araha. Uske saath time spend ki soch se bhi nafrat arahi hai.
Viren: Maanvi Mannat ke liye sirf. Soch aur agar kuch yaad aai toh batana.
He thought and thought and thought. And then an image came in his mind. Then he rushed to Maya's house.
Viraat: Bhai. Bhai.
Viren: Viraat. Sun.
Viraat: Bhai mujhe pata chal gai woh jagah.
Police: Aur hame un numbers ke secrets.
Viraat: Kya
Viren: Dekh mannat ke piche tha 21281. Aaj date hai 28th January toh 281. 21 matlab 9 baje. Issi tarah Maanvi ka 22291 29 January 10 baje. Mera 30 January 3 baje aur Jeevika ka 31 January 6 baje
Viraat: Woh jagah wohi hai jahan Maya aur main India akar pehli baar ghomne gai thi.
Inder: Hame jaldi se chalna chahiye. Abhi 7:30 ho gai aur sirf 9 baje tak ka time hai.
Viraat: Per yahan se us jagah ka rasta 2 ghanta ka hai.
Police: Aap log nikle hame bus bata dijiye kahan hai woh. Main koi shortcut dhond ke aapko batata hu. Aur wahan pahonchta hu.
Viren called Jeevika and told her everything. When Maanvi came to know about this she insisted to go there. Jeevika tried to stop her but she was adamant to go so she had no choice other to go.
Police told Viren to not to go with Viraat as she can have any plan. They reached there in one hour and 30 minutes. They parked the car at some distance from the actual place and then Viraat went there.
He saw fire lit and a tent set up. And there was Maya with Mannat in her hand. As he called her, she turned behind and gave him a cunning smile.
Maya: I knew it. Pata tha mujhe tum zaroor aao ge. Yaad hai hum pehli baar india main yahin mile the. Hamari first date. Aaj bhi hum itne dino baad yahi mile.
Viraat: Yeh kya hai sab
Maya: Patience my dear. Yeh lo
She gave him a stole.
Maya: Yeh pehn lo. Main bhi yeh dupatta pehn leti hu. Phir shaadi ke liye sab hojai ga.
Viraat: Shaadi kis ki
Maya: Meri aur tumhari.
Viraat: Main shaadi shuda hu. Main tumse shaadi nahi karo ga. Mere dil main sirf Maanvi hai aur ab Mannat.
Maya: Nahi karo ge shaadi
Viraat: Bilkul nahi.
She grabbed a knife and pointed in towards her wrist.
Maya:Nahi karo ge toh main khud ko mar du gi.
Jeevika Maanvi reached the spot. Jeevika asked Maanvi to stay inside the car but she wanted to go so she gave her promise not to come outside until she says so. Jeevika then went to Viren who was waiting for police to come.
Viraat: Tum jo karo mujhe koi farak nahi parta bus meri Mannat ko mujhe de do usse kuch nahi hona chahiye.
Maya: Mujhe kuch hone se koi farak nahi parta per Mannat se parta hai.
Viraat: Kyunke main usse pyaar karta hu. Aur tumse nafrat.
Maya: Main tumse 3 baar pocho gi. Shaadi karo ge
Viraat: Nahi
Maya: Karo ge mujhse shaadi
Viraat: Nahi
Maya: Akhri baar poch rahi hu. Karo ge mujhse shaadi.
Viraat: Nahi nahi nahi. Tum hazaar baar bhi pocho gi tab bhi yehi jawaab hoga.
Maya: Tumne yeh choose kia aur main kya karti hu dekho.
She started to move towards the cliff.
Viraat pleaded her to give Mannat. As she reached the edge, she shouted.
Maya: Ek kari tumhari life ki ja rahi hai.
And she threw Mannat from the cliff.
Viren Jeevika saw this and immediately came there. Meanwhile, Maanvi felt something bad. She decided to go there.
Viraat stood in shock. As he heard Viren and Jeevika coming he came out of shock and became so angry at her.
Maya moved away from him and towards the stole that was thrown by him. She was about to pick it when Jeevika slapped her.
Jeevika: Mannat ko kyu phenka tumne. Kya kia tha usne. Us bechari bachi ko kyun maara tumne. Koi tumhe maaf nahi kare ga Maya. Koi nahi.
Maya fumed more listening to her.
Maya: Mujhse koi sawaal karna ka koi hak nahi.
And...it was too late for Jeevika to reply as she was stabbed by her.
Maya: Maine socha tha aapko do din baad maro gi per aaj hi sahih.
Viren quickly grabbed Jeevika. He tried to wake her up but she breathed her last in his arms.
Viren: Jeevikaaa. Maya main tumhe choro ga nahi. Tumne Jeevika ko mar dala.
Before he could stand up and face her, she did the same thing with him also. He was stabbed at back.
Maanvi reached there at this moment and saw this. She stood there all shocked, unable to understand what happened.
Maya saw her and started to move towards her who was standing still.
Viraat did not know what to do. His daughter bhabhi and Bhai were killed in front of him and he could not do anything. He felt so so so weak. And now death is coming on his wife his life. He remembered his promise that he will face every danger even death before her.
He ran to Maya and grabbed her so she could not reach to Maanvi. But that evil witch was so angry and frustrated that she pushed him.
Push made him fall and unluckily on the fire set by Maya for marriage. Fire immediately caught him.
Meanwhile, police came and before Maya can reach Maanvi they arrested her.
The ambulance was called. And three were taken to hospital along with Maanvi. All family members also came.
Doctors told them earlier that Jeevika had died before. Viren had an operation of the spine but he passed out in between. They tried their level best to save Viraat. But he was 90 percent burnt. Due to burnings, he could not be saved.
Maanvi listened to all the news. Mannat then her di then jiju then Viraat. All died leaving her.
For the next few days, she was unconscious due to a nervous breakdown.
Then when she gained her senses and declared well, she was taken home.
Whole day whole night she would stay in the room and only stare at the sky.
Maybe because Mannat star was there and she thought others too joined her.
The only thing she said in the next 10 years
