Part 1:
It is said that eyes always speak the truth. They are mirrors of heart. Face and tongue can lie but eyes can't. He senses something different in her gaze. The girl, who is staring him, can't be the girl whom he knows from last one month. Her eyes do not have any fear but a rage that has intensity to burn whole the word. He sees her coming near to him.
She mutters thanks to all the people who helped her to save him. They all starts giggling and leave the love birds (as they thought) alone. He gives her a questioning glance and tears streaming down from her eyes and she pleads her - Please save him. I don't want to be responsible for his bad luck. I will marry you. Please give me the tape. I can't see him in prison. I will not run away. Save him, Please.'
He is perplexed to see her crying. Yes, he had seen her pleading and crying to him many times and every time, he felt miserable. He felt helpless. He felt like a monster. But today her pleading is a different. Yes, her emotions are true but her words, he does not know. He does not want to know. He has to keep his promise and he will.
He just manages to speak - I will get him out of prison. It will be your wedding gift from my side'. And he leaves the tent. She wipes her tears and her anger is back. Everyone has to pay the price for hurting her loved ones and she will make it happen. She has handful people to call her own and she does not let anyone hurt them. She is like a fire that can burn anything and anyone.
She comes outside and sees him laughing with the banjaras . Some banjarans encircle her and takes her with them. They are celebrating some occasion and they persuade her to join them and he sees her dancing. He can't take off his eyes from her. What is happening? He is feeling attracted toward her. No, it can't happen. He knows what he is doing is wrong. But he can't fall so cheap. He can't think about her like that. She loves someone else. But why the mere thought that she loves someone else is burning him. What is happening to him? Everything was perfect until he had found her on the desert and now everything has changed. He does not know the answer. She looks at him and sees him in deep thoughts. She smirks and he does notice it. But his mind is not ready to accept it. He is just imagining the things.
After some time, two men and one girl reach near the camp in a car and He goes toward them and greets them. They look at her and the girl starts fuming on her. The girl, Pakhi Yadav hates her. She has snatched her love Preet. She glances at them and comes near to them. She silently goes and sits in the car not bothering about their presence because now they have to bear her. Role has reversed. Soon predators will be prey, her prey.
The car reaches to the palace. They all come down and some guards come there running. Pakhi instructs them to take her to room and make sure that she stays in that room till the marriage. She follows the security guards silently.
Pakhi - Don't you think bhai , she is behaving differently'. She speaks her brother Prakash Yadav who affectionately hugs her and says - Don't think about her pookie. She is not worth of that. Think that soon you will get your love. Pakhi hugs her brother back - Thanx bhai for everything.Thanks Prem for your plan and then he turns to him and says - Thanks Raghav'. He does not say anything and leaves the place. He is feeling suffocated with them. Moreover, he is feeling suffocated with himself. He is cursing his fate. He is going to do something after which he can't meet his own eyes. He closes his eyes and remembers the promise, he made to his mother - Mom, I promise I will take care of Prakash. He is my best friend and I will support him in any condition.' And his mother died peacefully knowing that her son will do the penance of her crime.' She was unknown to the fact that this promise will be their destiny. A storm is going to come which will turn pages of past and which has power to destroy their future. To get rid of a past crime, she had committed another crime by binding him to a promise. To help someone whom she was not able to help one day, she has snatched her last hope.
She is in deep thoughts in her room. Sleep is far away from her eyes. It is not new. She is accustomed of sleepless night. She had spent her entire childhood listening her mother's soundless sobs. Her mother used to cry for the man who dumped her, snatched her everything and never bother to look at her again because she loved him. No, she still loves him. She hates this emotion. It is a weakness and she is not weak.
Next day, she walks in altar as bride. Raghav mesmerizes seeing her in maroon bridal wear. She is epitome of beauty and grace but then he catches sight of her eyes which are silent. Today, there is no fire but there is something else which he is not able to read. She sits beside him and priest starts the rituals. He is cursing himself with every ritual and she does not care about these rituals. He puts vermillion on her forehead and he sees that she does not flinch and does not close her eyes for a moment. Some vermillion falls on her nose and she irritatingly tries to remove it when priest forbids her to do so saying it is a good sign for a happy married life. She stops as she does not want to create a scene. His heart skips a beat when Priest says about happy married life. He does not know but yesterday night had changed everything about her. Now, she is no more a helpless girl whom he pity. But she is someone.. oh he does not know this new feelings for her.
Marriage rituals get completed and they stand up. Pakhi is really happy feeling that she will get her love, her Preet back. All leave from there one by one and at last Raghav leaves from there leaving Pakhi and her alone.
Pakhi - Atlast, I won. I will marry Preet in front of your eyes. You dared to challenge me and don't you think you will be treated as daughter in law of this house. You are just a new servant of this house. Now find a corner and sleep.' Pakhi leaves from there and she goes on altar and sits in front of holy fire. This fire is nothing to the fire which is burning her. She puts water on this fire and removes the vermillion from her nose. She touches her forehead and sees her red fingers carefully.
He is feeling miserable. He had just ruined an innocent girl's life. To keep his mother's promise, he had hurt a girl. He hates himself for everything. He cares for his friends but in the name of friendship, he had just ruined her. It was not enough that now he is feeling attracted toward her. He hates yesterday's night. He wants to remove yesterday's memory from his head. He does not want to see those eyes again. He tries to sleep.
In morning, Pakhi, Prakash, Prem and Raghav gather for breakfast. Raghav asks the servant about her and he answers that new bahuji is still sitting on altar only. Raghav asks the servant to tell her to get ready and have breakfast. Pakhi does not like it.
Pakhi- "Don't bother about him, Raghav. She is not worth it and don't worry, you don't have to bear her for long. Once, I get married to Preet , you can divorce her. I am not so bad that I will bind her to you for a life time." She and Prem give each other a hi-fi. Prakash and Raghav do not like it but they don't say anything.
They notice her coming. She is wearing a wine coloured simple saree. She has not wore any make up or ornaments but Raghav can see that she has put vermillion in her forehead and he does not know but he fees happy that she is respecting their marriage.
She comes there and says - It is getting late. We have to go to the court. It is Preet's hearing today.'
Pakhi's blood boils hearing her Preet's name from her mouth - you don't have to worry about my Preet. She does not say anything but Prem says - Oh, Pakhi, let her come. Don't you want to show Preet that the girl whom he loves had married someone else for money? Don't you think it will be fun?' They leave for the court and after a while reaches the court. Court proceeding starts. She looks here and there for the familiar face and spots Meet. They look each other silently. Preet is standing on the witness box and prosecution lawyer is accusing him for the murder but after a while Preet's lawyer stands up and shows the proof of his innocence. But Preet's eyes are on her only. How can she get married to anyone else but there is something different in her eyes and he looks at her carefully and then looks at meet and he understands everything. Court announces him not guilty and frees him but he is feeling miserable. But she does not look back to Preet but leaves from there.
Preet hurries towards her when Pakhi stops her and says - See Preet, girls are like her does not deserve your love. She leaves you when you need her most. You can see her truth today. Please come to the reception party at 7. Pakhi leaves and Preet is standing there speechless. Meet comes and hugs him tightly. Preet jerks him. Meet - Bro, Please believe us'. Preet - I can't believe you have done this.' Preet leaves from there and Meet follows.
In Palace, Pakhi hands over her saree and jewellery and tells her to get ready. She silently takes it and gets ready.
In party, guests' starts coming and pakhi, prem and prakash are attending them. Raghav is also in the party but she is nowhere to be seen and Pakhi sees her coming with Preet. They are holding each other's hands tightly. Raghav sees it and he feels bad. Pakhi is burning in anger. She shouts- I never knew you are so cheap Sapna that you will go around with another man after being married' and she ups her hand to slap her. Before Preet can react, someone holds her hand and gives her a tight slap - Don't you dare to insult my di' and Pakhi looks shocked seeing her. She looks exactly like Sapna but she does not look docile. Raghav is astonished to see them and Sapna is in tears and hugs her tightly - why you spoiled your life because of me. Why did you do it? If I would have known that you asked me to meet in middle of desert for this, I have never came. Why did you do this?' Sapna slapped her but she hugs her tightly and says - tell me you got married to jij.' And Sapna nods her head in yes and she hugs her. Pakhi, Prem and Prakash do not know what to do? And Raghav has got the answers of his questions. Before anyone can react he hears her loud voice - Thanks for coming. I Kalpana K I..mean Kalpana Raghav Singhania want to thank you all for gracing this occasion with your presence and I also want to thank my husband and my sasural's people actually I don't know how they are related to my husband may be some illegal ..I mean his extended family to help my di and jij to get married. They are really nice people. Now please join the dance floor with us.'
And she pulls Raghav on the dance floor and whispers in his ear- You all have dared to hurt my family. Now you will see real me .To touch sky, you have to keep your feet on ground and you all have forgot the basic rule. Don't worry I will make sure that you all will be on ground in some days and she spots Meet on dance floor and move towards him and they start dancing. Raghav looks at Sapna and Kalpana both. Sapna is still sobbing in Preet's arms and Kalpana and Meet are laughing as Meet whispers something in her ear. He could not help but smile being defeated by her. If he would have believed his heart, he would have long known that she is not Sapna.
Pakhi is fuming in anger and looks at Kalpana with her venom filled eyes. She has dared to challenge her and she will destroy her completely. She has got everything she wanted from her childhood and because of this low class girl, she had lost Preet. She will get everything back and she leaves the party in anger. Prem and Prakash stay in the party to handle the guests.
Party gets over. Everyone left the Party except Preet, Sapna and meet. Kalpana hugs them and wishes good bye to them.
Sapna - You are coming with us Kalpana. You have done enough damage. Now let's go home. We will take care of everything'
Raghav's heart skips a bear hearing about her leaving. He is not what is it? But he is definitely feeling something for her.
Kalpana - NoDi, I will come after finishing my work. JiJ has to stay in jail for them. You and everyone cried a lot. Now it is payback time.
Sapna - Kalpana, stops your nonsense. Otherwise, I have to call aai.'
Kalpana - Please , don't call aai. I will come home before Aai will be back. Please let me stay here for some days.'
Sapana - You are impossible'.
Sapna leaves with Preet and Meet. Sapna - She is so adamant. She had spoiled her life because of me'
Meet - Don't worry bhabs she will manage'. Both Sapna and Preet give him a glare.
Sapna - You know Preet , Kalpi always says that god had send her with me so that She can protect me as god forgot to give me brain, he had just given me heart'.
Preet hugs Sapna - Everything will be alright and we will make everything alright.
In Raghav's house.
Prem, Prakash and Raghav are sitting on the drawing room as Pakhi has locked herself in her room. Kalpana enters into drawing room. Raghav notices she had changed her dress. Now she is wearing black denim with red kurti. Her hair is not straight like Sapna, But little wavy which has enhanced her beauty and her intense black eyes are shining. She comes and looks at them and sings - Sapna to Sapna hi reh gaya... aur Kalpana haqueeqat ban gayi ( Dream stays as dream and imagination becomes reality) She leaves from there and Raghav looks at her mesmerized - Reality, a beautiful reality'
