Its night.. rajji is sleeping with her eyes wide open n staring at sohum's photo.. tears start rolling from her eyes.. she hugs his photo tightly n slowly goes off to sleep..
Its midnight time.. rajji starts feeling uneasy. She feels her heartbeat r going very fast. She starts sweating. She gets up with a start. She reaches out her hand to drink water but the glass falls from her hand. Hearing the sound of glass falling bani gets up who is sleeping besides rajji. She asks rajji what happened ? and gets tensed looking at rajji's condition. She quickly gives her water and tells her to take long breath.
Then bani asks rajji .. kya hua rajji? Tume achanak kya hua? Abhi thode der pehle toh tum bilkul theek thi.
Rajji tells bani not to worry as it happens with her sometimes due to her pregnancy.
But bani does not believes in this reason and tells rajji that she will call her doctor just now and ask her why is such thing happening with her.
But rajji stops bani from calling the doctor.
Then bani understoods that rajji is hiding something.
She asks rajji "kya baat he rajji. Tu mujse kuch chupa rahi he. " rajji says nahi bani aisa kuch nai he. Me kyu tumse kuch chupaungi.
Then bani asks her tumne apni dawai toh li he na ?
Rajji is quiet as her mistake is being caught by bani.
Seeing rajji quiet bani understands that rajji has not taken her medicines and so she is feeling uneasy. Bani scolds rajji very much for not taking care of herself.
She says to rajji.. tum hamesha kisi ki nai sunti.. apna dhyan rakhna toh tumhe bilkul bhi nai ata. Me bol bol ke thak gayi hu tumhe rajji. Lekin tum meri baat kabi nahi sunti. Sirf akela sohum hi he jo tuje sambhal sakta he . aur tum bhi sirf sohum ki baat sunti ho. Humari baat toh tuje kabhi sunani hi nai he. Me abhi jake sohum ko hi bolti hu. Fir woi tuje daat lagayenge and tuje samjayenge.
Saying this bani gets up to call sohum n just then it strikes her what has she just said. she turns back n looks at rajji who is staring bani with tears in her eyes.
Bani hugs rajji quickly and says .. muje maaf karde rajji. Me ek pal ke liye bhul gayi ki sohum ki yaadash chali gayi he.. Sohum ka naam leke mene firse tuje wo sab yaad dilaya.. janti hu tu har pal sirf sohum ko yaad karti he.. janti hu me ki tujpe kya beet rahi he.. muje maaf karde rajji.
Rajji tells her not to say sorry. She tells bani .. tumne sahi kaha bani sirf akele sohum hi he jo muje sambhal sakte he, jo muje padh sakte he, jo mere asu deke samaj jate he ki mere dil me kya chal raha.. par pata nai mere sohum kaha kho gaye he. Abi Wo mere paas hokar bhi mere dard ko nai samaj sakte..
Bani consoles rajji and assures her that very soon sohum will recognise her and everything will be fine. She gives rajji medicine and asks her to sleep.. rajji is not able to sleep so she comes in the varanda . there she sits on the bamboo sofa n starts thinking about a flashback incident wen she was not able to sleep and sohum had tried to make her comfortable.

Flashback scene
Its night and rajji is not able to sleep as she feels uneasy. She looks at sohum who is deep in sleep.
She pats him on his hand hardly and asks him to get up.
Sohum sohum get up.
He suddenly gets up and asks rajji what happened what happened?
Rajji says I am not able to sleep.
Why what happened? Asks sohum.
I am feeling very uneasy and cant sleep now.
He cuddles rajji and says u just close ur eyes and try to sleep.. don't think much.. common close ur eyes ..
Rajji is adamant saying no sohum I tried very much but I am not able to sleep. Saying this she gets up.
Sohum is feeling very sleepy and is still in sleep. He asks rajji what happened and why she got up.
Rajji says she will sit and spend the night. And asks him to sleep as he is very sleepy.
Sohum also gets up and says .. rajji tumne ye soch bhi kese liya ki tum aisi baithi rahogi aur me aram se sounga..
Rajji : par sohum mere liye apko jagne ki jarurat nai he.. aap so jao.. me theek hu..
Sohum: meri jaan jab so nai sakti toh muje kaise neend ayegi. Aur mene tumhe wada kia he rajji ki me jindagi ke har mod pe tumhare sath rahunga. Tum muje pukarogi uske pehle tum muje apne samne paogi.
Saying this sohum puts his arm around rajji's shoulder and asks her to sleep resting in his arms.
And says: abh dekna tume turant neend ajaygi.
Rajji starts smiling and falls asleep in sohum's arms.

Remembering this flashback there is smile on rajji's face. and as she notices around her she comes back in reality as there is no sohum around her ... she starts crying loudly .. all the pain which she had hid inside her comes out in form of tears.. just like a volcano of tears has erupted from her heart..
She cries saying.. sohum abi jab muje apki sabse jyada jarurat he tabhi aap mere pas nai ho.. kyu sohum kyu.. kyu kia apne mere sath aisa.. kyu sohum
Sohum is deep in sleep and he hears a crying voice. his heart starts getting restles by hearing the crying voice. he gets up and starts looking around. he feels as if a part of him is crying.. he gets up and goes in the direction of the voice. he reaches the veranda and finds rajji crying.. he finds her to be completely broken and crying.
Seeing rajji in this condition sohum's heart starts paining. He does not understands why is he feeling like this. He gets angry seeing tears flowing from rajji's eyes. He closes his fist in anger..
Then he starts moving towards rajji .. he does not understand why is he going near her. it is as if his legs are automatically moving n taking him near rajji.. as he reaches near rajji he holds her by her shoulder. Rajji is stunned to see sohum standing in front of her..
She asks .. sohum aap yaha.. aap kab aye sohum.. kya hua.. apko kuch chaye..
Sohum is not able to hear anything.. his mind is not paying attention to any word which rajji is saying..the only thing which he is seeing is rajji's tears...
Rajji finds sohum standing n staring at her.. she asks him wat happened..
Sohum holds rajji's face in his both hands...
Rajji's heart starts beating fastly..
Then he slowly wipes all her tears from her cheeks...
Rajji is standing numb..
Then sohum says.. mein in ankhon me ansu bardash nai kar sakta.. I cant see tears in this eyes...
Rajji is shocked n thinks for a second if his memory has come back..
Both rajji and sohum are staring at each other.. there is pain in both of them's eyes..
Before rajji could say anything bani comes calling rajji.. seeing bani sohum gets startled and then he quickly removes his hand from rajji's face n goes back to his room.
Bani asks rajji what happened?
Rajji says .. pata nai.. muje aisa laga jaise mere sohum vapis agaye ...
Sohum is in his room and thinking... ye muje kya hogaya tha.. me rajji ki rone ki awaz sunke uspe pas kyu chala gaya.. me rajji ke taraaf khicha hua kyu chala gaya.. muje kya hogaya tha.. rajji ke anko me ansu deke muje itni takleef kyu hori thi jaise mera dil bhi ro raha ho...
