Vishal Rastogi is thinking to himself. "My daughter loves Aoni? That same Aoni who has no status?!" he asks disbelievingly.
"And he actually has the audacity to turn down my daughter for Miilee?!" he adds.
"Why is Miilee always in my way?!" he thinks.
Scene shifts.
Ramona tells herself, "Dad loves me a lot. He will make everything alright." She sees Miilee in front of her and becomes angry. Swami is a silent observer.
Miilee goes up to her and asks, "What happened to my sister? Who dares to make you cry?"
Ramona looks incensed. She says, "You snatched my role from me to become Tara and now you want to become Ramona? Do not pretend! You are a cheat!" She says much more hurtful things but I can't remember them.
Our hero Swami can take it no longer. He comes forward and is about to slap Ramona but Miilee holds his hand. Ramona looks incredulous as if appalled that someone could entertain the idea of raising his hand on her.
"How dare you talk about Miilee like that?!" he says angrily.
"How dare you raise your hand on me!" Ramona counters.
"I pitied you and that was why I talked to you, entertained you and you think so highly of yourself? I know, you are both are involved in this together! I don't care, I will get my love by hook or by crook!" she rants. She stalks off, well hobbles off really.
Swami asks Miilee, "Why did you not reply Ramona? Why did you let her insult you?"
Miilee said, "I could have given her an answer if I wanted to but I know that THAT Ramona was not my sister. THAT Ramona is afraid, afraid that I will steal her love away. She loves Aoni a lot."
Swami adopts a pitiful look. "And you?" he says. "Don't you love him?" he pursues.
Miilee grows silent for a while as she ponders on his question and then she pretends to laugh. "There is no such thing as love in my dictionary," she laughs off.
"That was not the answer to my question, Miilee," Swami says.
Miilee turns away from him and grows serious. " I also don't know. I don't have any answer. Since young, fatherly, motherly, brotherly, sisterly bonds were kept away from me. So I decided to distance myself from all sorts of relationships," she answered finally.
"You are great, Miilee," Swami says quietly.
"Ramona has every right to her love, Swami. I am happy like this," she says.
"I will learn one thing from you, Miilee, and that is to stop tears from falling," he responds, dead-panned.
She laughs quietly. "I have been learning that since young," she says and leaves.
Poor Swami cries.
Scene shifts.
The Rajput College party is going on. Aoni and Sunny are drinking. They show everybody else [Kunal, Khushi] dancing but our hero is thinking about Miilee.
Two girls appear from nowhere and plop themselves on a seat opposite from them. Sunny nudges Aoni. "Aoni, why don't you go and talk to that girl?" he says.
Aoni smiles and says that he is not interested.
Sunny looks at Aoni as if he has lost his mind. "What are you saying?! She's so beautiful!" he says, shocked.
"Real beauty is something that you can see inside a person, a person who loves the whole world. That is real beauty," Aoni responds.
Sunny seems amused. "Only people who are in love will talk like that. Are you?" he asks.
Aoni smiles and says, "Yes, I'm in love and I'm going to meet with her. Tonight, she will tell me that she loves me too." Oh, the poor delusional fellow. 😭 😭
Scene shifts.
Miilee is on a terrace somewhere and she is crying. Her tears roll down her cheeks as she thinks of Aoni.
"What was it that Swami was saying? That I am able to control my tears? How would he know that my tears betray me sometimes," she thinks to herself.
"No, I won't shed anymore tears. I'm not weak," she says and wipes her tears.
"Whatever that is happening is wrong. I must make things right. I cannot afford to lose Ramona," she exclaims.
Scene shifts.
Aoni is standing in the party when he sees a girl wearing a white suit. They only show the legs first. I so knew it was going to be Ramona. She's supposedly wearing a cast right? But she was using a churidar. Bummer. Anyway.
As soon as he sees Ramona, Miilee's face flashes across his eyes. Ramona calls out to Aoni and asks him how does she look.
Aoni looks quite fed up, as if he is angry that someone would copy his beloved's style. 😛
Miilee comes from behind and smiles at Aoni. "You forgot, Aoni? Today is the day for my decision," she says.
Ramona is about to leave but Miilee grabs her hand and tells her to wait.
"I don't know where both of you got this idea that I love Aoni. You are a fool to think that I will ever love you," she says and starts to laugh. Oh my god, her laugh is really horrendous and humiliating, okay.🤢 🤢
Everyone stops dancing. "Miilee can't even hate you, Aoni, let alone love you because you are not deserving of both," she prods on, uncaring. 😭
"Miilee, what is this? An act?" Aoni asks, disbelieving.
"It was always only an act, Aoni. You were just my pawn. I used you against Vishal Rastogi to separate the both of you," she says.
"You know why? Because this is your place, your aukaad . You are just a puppet. No one will ever love you because you do not have any identity!" she says heartlessly. 😡 😡
Aoni looks on with hurt apparent in his eyes.
"I really wish you had read my diary. How I made you stupid enough to separate from Vishal Rastogi. Well, I have used you and have no further use of you," she dismisses.
Ramona looks murderous. "I don't love you. I have never loved you and never will," Miilee says.
Aoni looks as if he is about to cry on the spot!😭 😭
Miilee walks off.
Ramona holds Aoni's arm as if in comfort but Aoni shrugs it off violently.
He follows her and calls out, "Miilee!"
"Why have you followed me?" Miilee snaps.
"To show you something," he snaps back.
He lifts up his left sleeve so that the scar is apparent. He takes out a lighter and burns his arm. The scar actually puckers up okay! He grimaces with pain as Miilee looks scared and concerned.
The scar finally erupts in fire. "I will distance myself from you. There will be no misunderstandings from your side… or mine," he says, as his arm burns.
Miilee looks extremely shocked.
Scene shifts.
Miilee is walking alone on a road. Her friends come from behind and tell her to join the party. Her phone beeps. It's a message from Thambi. Upon reading it, Miilee turns pale and tells her friends about the message. "Thambi is asking me to back by tomorrow morning or else there will be trouble. I need to go now!" Miilee says.
"Are you crazy?" Khushi exclaims. "Go tomorrow morning. It's too late now!" she states.
Miilee insists on going and Swami said that he will follow Miilee since it's so late. She disagrees and says that she can manage by herself.
Meanwhile, Aoni starts his bike and rides off. He passes by them but neither notices the other. Miilee is with her bag.
A bus comes and she goes up on it, bidding farewell to her friends.
Suddenly, a man calls her name and she stands. She asks him how he knows her name. All the men in the bus laugh. Miilee gets scared and asks, "Who are you!"
"You did a very bad thing by humiliating Aoni, Miilee," one of the men says. Miilee attempts to leave the bus but is blocked by a burly man.
He says, "This bus won't go to Shimla now. It will go where we want it to because we have kidnapped you!" He points a gun to her head.
Tomorrow: It's basically the preview and the last scene. The voiceover says who could have done this? An old enemy and they show Vishal Rastogi or one who has just come out of the throngs of love and they show Aoni.
------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------
I AM SOOOOOO SAD! Why must Miilee always sacrifice?! and that Aoni! How can he just believe her?! I hope Monday is a promising episode. I shall go to one corner and weep now! 😭 😭 😆 😆 😆 😉
