Rishab becomes really emotional:How did this happen?How come you are Madhu?
Madhu cries.
RISHAB:Tell me Madhu...
Madhu cries.
Flashback...
After the bachelor's party Muskaan comes back home.
Madhu:Muskaan..where did you go?Went for any party?
Mus:Ya..
MADHU:Don't you know that your marriage is fixed?
Still you are partying at night?
Don't attend late night parties.
Mus:I went for Sultan and Rishab's bachelor's party.
Madhu is surprised:What?You can't resist seeing Rishab?
Madhu smiles.
Mus:Not Rishab..Sultan..
Muskaan is tough and rough.
Madhu can't understand anything.
MADHU:Means?
Mus:I went to see Sultan,not Rishab.
MADHU:Why?
Mus:Because I wanted to see Sultan before he becomes yours.
MADHU:But why?I can't understand anything.
Muskaan bursts into tears.
Mus:Madhu...I love Sultan.
Madhu is shocked.
MADHU:What did you say?Are you making fun of me?Still you behave like a kid.
Mus:I am not joking.I am telling the truth.I fell in love with Sultan at the first sight itself.But unfortunately dad chose him for you.I could'nt say no to dad.I suppressed my feelings for others.
But now it's time for Sultan to marry you.I am going to lose him forever.So I am going crazy Madhu.
Madhu is shattered.
Mus:Madhu...can you please give me Sultan?
Madhu is shocked.
MADHU:What are you saying?Are you crazy?
Mus:Please Madhu..
MADHU:Just before wedding you are asking me to back out from the wedding?What will others think of us?How embarassed dad will be..
Mus:Nothing like that will happen.Nobody will have to face any embarassment.I will dress up as Madhu and you have to be Muskaan ie me.
Madhu is shocked:Are you mad?Have you thought of the after effects?How will Sultan and Rishab react when they find out our real identity?
Mus:They will not know it until one of us disclose it.It will not happen unless you cheat me.
Madhu loses her control:Muskaan..enough.In the last moment you are bringing up crack ideas.I will not support you.
Mus:Madhu please..
MADHU:Stop it.
Muskaan takes a knife and tries to cut her vein.Madhu is shocked.She stops her from doing so.
MADHU:Are you crazy?
Muskaan cries:Yes..I am crazy.I am crazy for Sultan.I love him like crazy.I can't live without Sultan.I want to die.
Tears fall from Madhu's eyes.
MADHU:Don't try to end your life Muskaan.We can't live without you.
Mus:No,I don't want to live without Sultan.
MADHU:Then don't worry.We will do as per your plan.You marry Sultan.Now onwards I will be Muskaan.
Muskaan is relieved.
Mus:Thank you so much Madhu.This is the most valuable gift you have ever given me.
She hugs Madhu.
Mus:And I am sure that slowly you will forget everything and start living a happy life with Rishab.Rishab will love you like crazy.He won't let you cry.
Madhu's heart is wounded deeply.She cries silently.Muskaan does'nt see it as she was lost in her dreams.
Present:
Rishab and Madhu weep.
Rishab held her face tight.
RISHAB:Why did you cheat the person you loved even after knowing that Sultan loves you a lot?
Madhu cries:I did'nt have any other option.I just wanted to save my sister's life.
RISHAB:But you cheated Sultan who loved you a lot.
MADHU:Then what should have been done?Letting my sister die I should have gotten married to Sultan?I would never have been happy with Sultan if I had ignored my sister's tears.
RISHAB:Muskaan does'nt deserve Sultan's or yours love.She snatched her own sister's happiness.She is so selfish.
MADHU:Please don't say like that.Actually she is nice.Love made her blind.She will keep Sultan happy.She loves him that much.Even I would not have been able to make Sultan happy like she makes him happy now if I had married him.Her love is stronger than my love.
RISHAB:You are so nice Madhu.Even after what Muskaan did to you, you love her to the core.You can't stand if anyone talks rubbish about her.You are great.Without knowing how big your heart is,I scolded you a lot.I gave so much of pain to you thinking that you were Muskaan.Still you tolerated it silently.
MADHU:Rishab...please don't tell this to Sultan.It will spoil many lives.
RISHAB:Ok.I am compelled to cheat my bro even after knowing the truth.I am doing this for his good.Sultan will be shattered completely if he comes to know the truth.I can't see my bro upset.
Madhu is relieved.
Madhu tries to walk away.She slips and to get balance she holds Rishab's shoulders tight.Unknowingly they share an eye lock.
Breaking the eye lock she removes her hand from him and says:Sorry.
He is quiet.She leaves the room.
The next day...Madhu is sitting in the garden.
She thinks:What if Rishab questions Muskaan?If Muskaan comes to know that I told the truth to Rishab how will she react?
Madhu is losing her peace of mind.
