Part 1 :
So Naina has gone out sumwer nd hasnt returned by dinr time. The way things r going, not many peopl in P-zoo are concerned. Baba asks d room in general, Aku covers up saying she'd called nd will be late. She's wondering why daksh has not said nythin, and why he is staring at the plate the whole time. Naina s not answerin Aku's calls, and Aku looks to Daksh again, wondernig if he isnt worried as well.
Oh, he is worried lekin banda is under this self-imposed torture of "righteousness" [fool].
Everyone goes about their businesses after dinner, the room is empty except for Aku and D.
A : Dada...
Daksh looks up, but is unable 2 meet her eyes. There is no censure there, she's just worried for someone she loves.
He gets up without saying anything.
A : Naina kidhar he...Abhi tak kyu nahi ai?
D : [still cant meet her eyes] Main..nahi janta.
A : [now she's worried for him as well] Sab theek to hai na..
D : [shakes his head] Nahi...
A : [slowly]Aap kya keh rahe ho...?
D : Kuch nahi...Tum so jao, me dekh ke ata hu. [he walks off cos he cant stand it anymore]
Aku is left staring at him, worried.
Outside, its raining. No, pouring.
Naina is standing outside the gate, her back against the wall. She is unable to go in...it no longer feels like going home...She is unable to imagine looking into HIS eyes and not finding love there, only a strange mix of guilt and pain...She cant bear to think..She closes her eyes and leans into the wall, eyes closed.
Par ankhen khule ho ya band...all she can see is him, all she can hear is his voice, promising her he'll never leave her side, promising her he's hers forever..It's raining harder, and her tears blend in with the rain that has her drenched by now...
Daksh tries calling her; apparently she's out of coverage area. He is tempted to swear at his general good fortune, but holds it in cos he knows he doesnt deserve dat luxury even. He stashes the phone in his pocket, grabs the car keys and dashes outside.
Naina is still under the spell of memories.
//flashes of everything she gets, right from the whole abhi fiasco, daksh getting engaged to someone else,the rain in the village, the scene at the teacher's...every word of love, every promise..and then the aching void between them now...
I stopped feeling when my heart was trampled
Once, twice, then I was wise
Was I dying inside?
but I let it be
lived the way it now was to me
saw only what I ought to see
Nothing was rosy
as it was before
just black and white
no joy in joy
And then you came
made me feel again
You made me laugh
You made me smile
made me yours,
I thought you mine
You took my hand and led me home
Gave me your love and oh
My love,But that
was my world, my heart, my home
home it isnt anymore
I'm lost, i'm lost again
out here in this unfeeling rain
And all my dreams are leached away
Washed away; no colour, no life
What have you done to me
Oh, why...
Daksh gets the car to the gate, steps out to get the gates open.
And then he sees her there, a lone, drenched figure leaning against the wall...
Frantic, he rushes to her, shakes her..
D : Naina..Naina!
She opens her eyes; its him, there is a hint of something in his eyes...but its elusive, and helpless, she's transported back to the rain in the village.. [Daksh is asking her if she'd never seen love for her in his eyes]That something in his eyes that she yearned for is gone again, replaced by guilt.
She closes her eyes once more, not wanting to look into his eyes now. He shakes her again. "Naina..!"
She looks at him now.
D : Tum yaha bahar kya kar rahi ho...Itni der raat..barish me...
Still she says nothing. Her face his blank, her eyes are not. And it is killing him.
D : Pls Naina...andar chalo...
Uncharacteristically she says nothing and leans away from the wall.
D : [still cant face her] Main bas..abhi ata hu, tum andar chalo..
She walks in without waiting for him, and he turns to the car.
