Part 5

Harman wakes up before sunrise.

He silently gets ready and leaves the house.

Preeto notices him.

Preeto: Harman... where are you going so early?

Harman: Mom, I have found a job.

Preeto: A job? Why? Your father gives you everything.

Harman: Not everything, Mom. He stopped my pocket money because I took Rs. 100 from his pocket. I realized that I can't depend on Dad for everything—some things I have to earn myself.

Preeto senses he is hiding something but decides not to ask.

Preeto: Take care of yourself.

Harman: I will.

He touches her feet before leaving.

A taxi stand...

An elderly taxi owner, Kishore, hands Harman the keys.

Kishore: Drive carefully. This taxi is my livelihood.

Harman: Don't worry, Uncle. I will take care of it like my own.

Harman starts his first day as a taxi driver.

Throughout the day, he drives passengers across Mumbai.

An older woman struggles to carry her luggage.

Harman immediately gets down.

Harman: Let me help you, Aunty.

He carries her bags to her house.

Old Woman: Son, people like you are rare these days.

She blesses him.

Later...

Harman counts the money he has earned.

Harman: It is still far from two thousand... but one day I will surely collect it.

He smiles, thinking about Soumya.

He worked hard day and night and managed to arrange for Rs. 2000/-

Meanwhile...

At Vedant's kotha...

Varun drags Soumya before Mallika.

Varun: This girl is becoming impossible. She refuses every customer.

Soumya: I will never ruin my dignity.

Varun raises his hand.

Before he can hit her, Mallika stops him.

Mallika: Enough!

Varun: Because of her, we're losing money every day.

Mallika: Vedant has entrusted this place to me. I will handle her.

Varun leaves angrily.

Mallika walks towards Soumya.

Mallika: Child, why are you making your life more difficult?

Soumya: I can bear pain... but I cannot sell my self-respect.

Mallika becomes emotional.

Mallika: I pray that God sends someone who can take you away from here.

Soumya remembers Harman and smiles faintly. She lights the candle and writes Harman's name. The song plays:

Baithi hoon intezar mein ummeed lagaye
Na jaane kis ghadi saajan mera aaye

Sajan o sajan aaja ab aaja
Sajan o sajan aaja ab aaja
Dekh rahi hoon tera rasta
Dekh rahi hoon tera rasta
Aake jhalak dikha jaa
Sajan o sajan aaja ab aaja
Sajan o sajan aaja ab aaja

Shamma ban ke main jal rahi hoon
Shamma ban ke main jal rahi hoon
Moam ke jaise pighal rahi hoon
Shamma ban ke main jal rahi hoon
Moam ke jaise pighal rahi hoon
Deewaron pe subah-o-shaam
Likhti hoon maine tere naam
Ghut-ghut ke main mar jaaoon
Dil ko aas bandha jaa
Sajan o sajan aaja ab aaja
Sajan o sajan aaja ab aaja

During the song:

• Harman drives his taxi day and night, working tirelessly.
• Soumya lovingly keeps the hairpin he gifted her close to her heart.
• Harman skips meals to save every rupee.
• Soumya looks out of the window every evening, waiting for him.
• Mallika silently watches their growing love and prays for their happiness.
• Varun becomes increasingly suspicious of their previous meetings

Mallika saw Harman and went to Soumya. She said, "Harman has come."

Outside...

Harman arrives after finishing work.

Varun blocks his path.

Varun: Came without money again?

Harman: I came to meet Soumya.

Varun: This is not a charity home.

Harman: I arranged for the amount.

He hands the amount to Varun and says, "If you want, you can count."

Varun: Fine, you can take her, but remember one thing. If you send her back to teach her the crooked ways, or take her somewhere else, it won't be good for you.

Mallika comes downstairs.

Mallika: Take her, but bring her back on time.

Soumya comes out. She is delighted to see Harman.

Soumya: You came!

Harman: Didn't I promise you?

Soumya notices that Harman's hands have become rough.

Soumya: What happened to your hands?

Harman hides them.

Harman: Nothing.

She gently holds his hand.

Soumya: You're lying.

Harman smiles.

Harman: I started working as a taxi driver.

Soumya is shocked.

Soumya: Why?

Harman: To earn money.

Soumya: For yourself?

Harman: No... for you.

Soumya's eyes fill with tears.

Soumya: You don't even know me properly. Why are you doing all this?

Harman: Sometimes it doesn't take years to know someone. The heart recognizes the right person in a single moment.

Soumya lowers her eyes shyly.

Harman notices that Soumya is looking out of the small window.

Harman: Have you ever seen the sea?

Soumya shakes her head.

Soumya: No.

Harman: One day I'll take you to Juhu Beach. We'll watch the sunset together.

Soumya smiles for the first time.

Soumya: Promise?

Harman extends his little finger.

Harman: Promise.

Soumya hooks her little finger with his.

They move outside the kotha... The song plays

Harman & Soumya danced near the bus stop.

Harman takes Soumya to the birthday party of one of his friend's uncles. He finds Ballu and others at the party and says, "She is Soumya, the love of my life."

They said, "Cool." Let's have a dance together.

Everyone began to dance. Ballu's uncle, Sant Baksh, was drunk; he came near Soumya and said, "Come, baby, let's dance."

But Soumya refused and caught Harman. Seeing this, Harman lost his temper and said, "If she doesn't want to dance with you, then why are you forcing her?"

Sameer, Ballu, and Jeet supported him.

Sant Baksh recalls going to the kotha, where Soumya scratched him. He said, "How dare you bring this w to my party?"

Harman held his collar and said, "She is not a w. She is as pure as the Ganges. Though men came, she resisted and was beaten brutally by the in-charge.

He then unzipped it and showed the marks.

Sameer, Ballu, and Jeet were shocked.

Soumya cried, "Please take me away from here."

Harman nodded and wiped her tears. He said, "Certainly, we won't be here even for a second now."

Meanwhile, Pramila came to the hall. Sant Baksh's misbehavior didn't go unnoticed as Jeet came and told her about the whole incident.

Pramila went angrily to Sant Baksh and asked, "What the hell is going on?" Sant Baksh fumbled for words.

Pramila slapped him.

Part 5

The episode begins with Harman and Soumya leaving the party.

Harman: Are you upset with me for bringing you here?

Soumya: No, I am not upset, but I am afraid how are we going to be one?

Harman: We love each other and decided to go against all odds; then what is the problem?

Soumya: It's not going to be easy, as there are many barriers between us. Varun, Mallika, and Vedant. Yes, Mallika could be our possible support system. Would your parents agree?

Harman: Leave that to me. If my mom agrees, even my father will agree. Is there anything else to ask?

Soumya: No.

Harman: But I want to ask.

Soumya: Proceed.

Harman: How did you get into this trap?

Soumya: I lost my parents at a young age. I lived with my grandparents before coming here. I began to apply for jobs. I got a response. The employer sent me conveyance money to come to Mumbai. I came, gave the interview, and got selected. However, when I left, the person offered me a lift. I accepted, but then he dropped me at Mallika's kotha, where it was dark. I lost my desire to live. But I found a ray of hope in you. I want to live, but not in this filth, not in this prison.

Harman gets teary. The song plays

kaisa lagta hai achchha lagta hai

pyar kaa sapna sachcha lagta hai

log jo kahte hain kehane do sanam

ham na todenge kabhi apni kasam

sath ho jiske hamsafar aisa

phir jamane kaa dar use kaisa

hai yahi aarju sukh dukh tere sang mujhe hai sehna

kaisa lagta hai achchha lagta hai

pyar kaa sapna sachcha lagta hai

Harman: After hearing your story, there's no point going back to that place. Come with me to my house.

Soumya: Wherever we go, they will track us.

Harman: We can go to the cops.

Soumya: Surbhi says it's of no use, as they have a connection with the cops who support them. They are the higher authorities. One of them is Sant Baksh, who tried to misbehave with me at that party.

Harman: Then what is the alternative?

Soumya: We have to go back to that kotha. Mallika is good at heart. She will help us.

Meanwhile...

At the army quarters...

Harak Singh is reading the newspaper.

The headline catches his attention.

"Human trafficking racket suspected to be linked with businessman Vedant."

Harak clenches his fists.

Harak: One day, I'll make sure that criminal is punished.

Preeto serves him tea.

Preeto: Why are you getting so angry early in the morning?

Harak: Criminals like Vedant are a stain on society. Innocent girls lose their lives because of people like him.

Harman overhears the conversation from the staircase.

He realizes that the same Vedant owns the place where Soumya is trapped.

College...

Sameer, Ballu, and Tempo notice Harman looking tired.

Sameer: These days, you disappear after classes.

Tempo: Have you fallen in love?

Harman blushes.

Ballu: Look! He's blushing! Definitely in love.

Everyone laughs.

Sameer: At least introduce us to the lucky girl.

Harman smiles.

Harman: The day everything becomes alright, she will be the first person I'll introduce to all of you.

His friends become curious but don't question him further.

Evening...

Harman reaches the kotha after completing his taxi duty.

Varun blocks his way once again.

Varun: Why do you keep coming here?

Harman: To meet Soumya.

Varun: Did you bring the money?

Harman opens his wallet.

There is only ₹1,350.

Harman: Not yet. But I will arrange the rest soon.

Varun laughs mockingly.

Varun: By the time you collect the money, she may belong to someone else.

Harman grabs Varun's collar.

Harman: Don't you dare say that!

Varun pushes him away.

Mallika immediately intervenes.

Mallika: Stop it, both of you!

She looks at Harman.

Mallika: Come. Soumya has been waiting for you.

Varun glares at both of them.

Soumya's room...

Soumya happily welcomes Harman.

She notices a bruise on his forehead.

Soumya: You're hurt!

Harman: It's nothing.

She tears a piece of her dupatta and gently ties it around his forehead.

Harman keeps looking at her.

Soumya: Why are you staring?

Harman: Because whenever I see you, I forget every pain.

Soumya smiles shyly.

She then asks softly,

Soumya: Did you really become a taxi driver because of me?

Harman: Yes.

Soumya: Why are you ruining your life for a girl like me?

Harman becomes serious.

Harman: Never say that again.

Soumya looks at him.

Harman: You are not what this place calls you. You are a respectable girl who deserves happiness.

Soumya's eyes fill with tears.

Soumya: No one has ever spoken to me like this.

Harman notices a small temple in the corner of the room.

The diya has almost gone out.

He lights it again.

Harman: As long as this flame keeps burning, don't lose hope.

Soumya folds her hands before the idol.

The background song begins.

Har Kasam Se Badi Hai...

Har kasam se badi hai kasam pyar ki...

Marke bhi iss kasam ko na todenge hum...

har kasam se badi hain kasam pyar ki
marke bhi iss kasam ko naa todenge ham
chhod denge jamane ki sari khushi
chhod denge jamane ki sari khushi
sath tera kabhi bhi naa chodenge ham
har kasam se badi hain kasam pyar ki
marke bhi iss kasam ko naa todenge ham
chhod denge jamane ki sari khushi
chhod denge jamane ki sari khushi
sath tera kabhi bhi naa chodenge ham
har kasam se badi hain kasam pyar ki

sanso me hain sargam, teri dhadkan me tere nagme, sanam
sanso me hain sargam, teri dhadkan me tere nagme, sanam
yeh jindagi kuchh bhi nahi tere liye phir lenge janam
dil ki kali khil hi gayi, manjil hame mil hi gayi
aandhi jo aayegi woh laut jayegi tufan ko bhi modenge ham
har kasam se badi hain kasam pyar ki
marke bhi is kasam ko na todenge ham

aankhe mili palke jhuki jana kaha ham kho gaye
aankhe mili palke jhuki jana kaha ham kho gaye
pehli najar me hamsafar ek dusare ke ho gaye
chahat nahi jagne lagi duniya hasi lagne lagi
tode naa tutega chute naa chutega aisa nata jodenge ham
har kasam se badi hain kasam pyar ki
marke bhi iss kasam ko naa todenge ham
chhod denge jamane ki sari khushi
chhod denge jamane ki sari khushi
sath tera kabhi bhi naa chhodenge ham

During the song:

• Harman drives his taxi day and night, working tirelessly.
• Soumya lovingly keeps the hairpin he gifted her close to her heart.
• Harman skips meals to save every rupee.
• Soumya looks out of the window every evening, waiting for him.
• Mallika silently watches their growing love and prays for their happiness.
• Varun becomes increasingly suspicious of their meetings.

The song ends.

Night...

Vedant arrives at the kotha.

Varun informs him of everything.

Varun: Boss, that boy comes every day. He talks about marrying Soumya.

Vedant laughs arrogantly.

Vedant: A college boy wants to challenge me?

He turns serious.

Vedant: Keep an eye on him. If he creates any problem, finish him.

Mallika overhears and grows worried.

The next afternoon...

Harman arrives with his taxi.

Mallika secretly comes outside before he enters.

Mallika: Harman...

Harman: Yes?

Mallika: Listen carefully. Vedant now knows about you.

Harman is shocked.

Mallika: Don't come here for a few days. Your life is in danger.

Harman shakes his head.

Harman: If I stop coming, Soumya will think I've abandoned her.

Mallika sighs.

Mallika: Then be careful. Vedant is far more dangerous than Varun.

Harman nods.

Inside her room...

Soumya senses something is wrong.

Soumya: What happened?

Harman forces a smile.

Harman: Nothing.

Soumya holds his hand.

Soumya: Don't hide anything from me.

Harman finally tells her that Vedant has learned about him.

Soumya becomes frightened.

Soumya: Please don't come here anymore.

Harman: Impossible.

Soumya: I don't want anything to happen to you.

Harman: And I won't let anything happen to you either.

He gently places his hand over hers.

Harman: I made you a promise... and Harman Singh never breaks his promise.

Soumya smiles through her tears.

Outside the room, Varun secretly listens to their conversation.

A wicked smile appears on his face.

Varun (thinking): Now the real game begins.
