It was Naintara.She burst into tears.
NT:Maan…please don't…
Without listening to her,Maan grabbed her hand and dragged her out.
NT:Please Maan…leave me.
Maan brought her down.
M:Dadu….Pitaji…Maaji….chacha…chachi…come out please.
They all woke up from the sleep hearing Maan scream.
Rano:Damadji is screaming…what happened to him?I hope everything is fine.
They got scared.
They all came out of their rooms.
They were shocked to see Maan holding the hands of Naintara.She was in her dance costume.She was crying.
Maan:Dadu…your's was not illusion.The tinkle of the anklet…the music…everything was true.It was Naintara's anklet.She was the one who was dancing in that room at night.
Everyone was shocked.
Ganga:Why did you do this Naintara?
NT:I was just rehearsing for my dance programme.
M:Then why did you dance in that room itself?
NT:Because I did'nt want anyone to get disturbed due to my dance rehearsal.
M: Why are you rehearsing at midnight?You did'nt get time to rehearse in day time?
NT:In the morning I am busy with my studies.I get time to dance only at night.
M:When dadu heard unusual sounds from that room,why did'nt you reveal that it was caused by you?
NT:I was scared whether he will stop my dance rehearsal.
M:Why do you wear the dance costume while rehearsing?Usually such costumes and make up are worn only on stage.
NT:Only if I wear the dance costume and dance only I will be comfortable on stage.If I wear the costume for the first time on stage I will find it very difficult to dance.
Maan noticed her dance costume.He remembered seeing it in the box he found in the mysterious room.
M:I have seen this costume in the box found in that room.It is not your costume.It is Madhubalaji's costume.
NT:No.Dance costumes look similar.My dance costume may be resembling Madhubalaji's costume.But what is my fault?
Aloknath:Enough of cross questioning her.
M:Dadu…
A:Leave her alone.Everyone go to sleep.
Sahil:Damadji….you are misunderstanding our daughter.She is a sweet girl.
Ganga:We are not telling this because she is our daughter.She is a very innocent girl.
Maan felt pity.
M:I am sorry.I misunderstood Naintara.
They were relieved.
Everyone went to sleep.
Though he apologized to them,he was confused about Naintara's intentions.
He went to the room.
M:I have to tell this to Geet now itself.
He tried to wake her up:Geet…
She did'nt wake up.
M:Why is she sleeping like this?She must be really tired.
He took the jug for water.There was no water.So he went to the kitchen for water.There he was shocked to see the cover of sleeping pills.He was shocked.
M:Did someone put this in Geet's milk?Is that the reason why she is sleeping like this?
Naintara who just entered the kitchen was shocked to hear it.
Maan stared at her.She shivered.
M:You put sleeping pills in Geet's milk?
She was too nervous to reply.
