Saadhna is sitting on the bed along with her friends. Kaushi comes and says "Arrey ladkiyon, chalo neeche khaana tayaar hai. Saadhna main Ragini se kehkar tere liye khaana bhijawaati hoon. Theek hai?" Saadhna nods. The girls leave one by one. Saadhna is sitting there watching TV; she can't even change the channel, as her henna is still wet.

Ragini is taking food for Saadhna, she is walking up the stairs. Aalekh calls out to her and asks her whether she is taking this for Saadhna. Ragini nods. Aalekh says "Main lekar jaa sakta hoon?" Ragini gives Aalekh a teasing look, and gives him the plate. Aalekh shyly takes the plate of her and goes upstairs.
Saadhna is getting bored, she gets up and stands by the window, looking at the moon, there's a slight breeze. Aalekh comes in her room and sees her standing by the window. Aalekh puts the food on the table and walks up to Saadhna. He gets close to her and whispers in her ear "Kya dekh rahi ho?" Saadhna turns around and sees Aalekh standing there. Saadhna smiles and turns back to the window and says "Chaand dekh rahi thi. Kitna khoobsurat lag raha hai na?" aalekh stands by Saadhna and looks out the window and says "Haan khoobsurat hai." Aalekh turns and looks at saadhna. "Lekin tumse zyada nahi." Saadhna looks at Aalekh. Aalekh is looking at Saadhna with loving eyes. Saadhna smiles. Aalekh says "Bhook lagi hai?" Saadhna nods. Aalekh laughs and says "Chalo, khaana kha lo." Aalekh goes and gets the plate, and both sit down on the bed. Aalekh puts it in front of Saadhna. Saadhna is about to touch the food, but she sees her mehndi is still wet. She shows her hands to aalekh. Aalekh smiles and says "main khilaata hoon." Aalekh takes a spoonful of rice and feeds it to Saadhna.

Ranvir walks past Saadhna's room, and he sees Aalekh feeding Saadhna. Ranvir smiles and then walks down stairs. Ragini is filling her plate with food, Ranvir sees this, he says, "Eh billi zyada mat khao, warna kal kapde fit nahi aayenge tujhe." Ragini gives him an irritated look, and says "meri fikar karne ki zaroorat nahi hai, tu apni fikar kar." Ranvir says "Kyun?" Ragini says "Pata chal jaayega." She winks and walks off. Ranvir looks confused. He starts to put food in his plate, still confused.
*************************************************************************
Saadhna asks Aalekh whether he has eaten or not. Aalekh says "abhi nahi, baad mein khaunga, pehle tum toh khalo." Aalekh brings his hand forward to feed Saadhna, but Saadhna turns her face the other way. Aalekh says "Saadhna? Kya hua?" Saadhna says "Pehle tum khao." Aalekh says "Arrey main baad mein kha loonga, pehle tum toh kha lo." Sadhna shakes her head no. Aalekh gives in and he eats a spoonful of rice, saadhna sees this from the corner of her eye. Aalekh says "Lo. Khush?" Saadhna smiles. Aalekh gives Saadhna another spoonful of rice.

Aalekh says "Lo, tum toh mujhe miss bhi nahi karti...aur ek main hoon ke...kal ke intezaar mein maraa jaa raha hoon...Yeh raat hai ki kat ti hi nahi..." Saadhna laughs. "Tum hass rahi ho?" asks Aalekh. Saadhna says "Arrey ab jahaan ek mahina guzaar liya hai toh ek raat aur nahi guzaar sakte?" Aalekh says "Koshish toh yeh hi thi...par looks like it's not working."

Aalekh thinks and says "Saadhna? Kya hua? Tum chup kyun ho gayi? Kuch bolo na." Ragini says "Jija ji...Saari baatein shaadi se pehle hi karloge kya? Aap saadhna se nahi mil saktey..."

Aalekh says "arrey saadhna se good night toh kar lene do." Ragini says "Saadhna ne bhi Good night boldiya. Ab aap jaake so jaaiye." Ragini hangs up the phone and giggles. Aalekh sits there disappointed and says "Hey bhagwaan yeh saari saaliya aisi hi hoti hai kya? 😆" Saadhna says "Kya Ragini...arrey good night toh karne deti...pata hai kitna boora laga hoga usse." Ragini says "acha? Unhe bohut bura laga hoga? Tujhe unki fikar hai par meri nahi. Kal teri shaadi hai, Tu mujhe chod kar chali jaayegi..." Ragini wipes her tears away "...phir tu jee bhar ke unke saath baatein karna...main nahi houngi disturb karne ke liye." Ragini gets up and turns around. Saadhna looks down and then back at Ragini. She walks up to Ragini and hugs her from the back and says "Ragini, tujhe yaad hai, jab hum chotte the, hum kitna jhagda kiya karti thi, aur ma humein humesha kehti thi, ki tum dono ab toh jhagda kar rahi ho, lekin shaadi ke baad tum dono ko yeh hi baatein humesha yaad ayengi...Tab tune kya kaha tha? Tune yeh kaha tha ki ma, suraj se uski kiran door ho sakti hai, chaand se uski chandni door ho sakti hai, par Saadhna se Ragini kabhi door nahi ho sakti...aur jab saadhna ki shaadi hogi, tab main bhi saadhna ke saath chali jaungi...kabhi peecha nahi chodungi..." Saadhna and Ragini laugh with teary eyes. Ragini turns to face Saadhna "...toh ab kya hua? Ab kaise keh diya ki main tujhe chod ke jaa rahi hoon? Main humesha tumhare saath hoon." Ragini hugs Saadhna. Both have tears in their eyes. Ragini says "Saadhna, tumhare bina main kuch bhi nahi..." Ragini hugs Saadhna "...mera saath kabhi mat chodna." Saadhna says "Arrey Ragini, tum aisa kyun bol rahi ho? Main tumhara saath kabhi nahi chodungi." Saadhna hugs her back. Kaushi watches this from far and wipes away her tears. She smiles and leaves. Saadhna wipes Ragini's tears, and lightly shakes her head no.

Ranvir is in the garden lying in hammock, looking at the stars. He's smiling and thinks of all his moments with ragini. (The first meeting, the dance competition, what's goin on scene, jungle scene, Ragini apologising and so on...) Ranvir laughs and says 'I love her!" Aalekh is talking to simran while standing in his balcony. He notices Ranvir in the garden. "Ranvir?" says aalekh sounding curious. He excuses himself and goes downstairs in the garden. Aalekh says "Ranvir? Itni raat gaye, itni thand mein tum yahaan kya kar rahe ho?" Ranvir turns around and sees aalekh. Ranvir says "bhaiya? Aap soye nahi abhi tak?" Ranvir gets up. Aalekh sits on the hammock with Ranvir and says "Tum bhi toh nahi soye. Kya baat hai?" Ranvir says 'Kuch nahi bhaiya, bas aise hi." Ranvir looks down all smiling. Aalekh says "kuch toh baat hai...jo tum nahi batana chahte...Ranvir...seedha seedha batao kya baat hai." Ranvir says "Bhaiya...jab aapko bhabi se pyaar hua toh aapko kaisa laga?" Aalekh is surprised and asks "tumhe pyaar hua hai?" Ranvir laughs and says "nahin nahin, amin toh bas aise hi generally pooch raha hoon." Aalekh says "well, toh main bhi generally bata deta hoon. Well jab mujhe saadhna se pyaar hua, tab achanal duniya haseen lagne lagi. Jab woh mere saath hoti thi, tab aisa lagta tha ki yeh waqt yahi tham jaaye, aur main bas saadhna ko dekhta rahoon. Jab woh paas nahi hoti thi toh usse milne ko dil karta. Har jagah woh hi nazar aati thi. Jab aankhein bandh karta toh..." Ranvir is lost in Ragini thoughts and says "Sapne mein aati hai." aalekh says "aankhein kholta toh..." ranvir says "Tab ussi ka chehra dekhna chahti hai." Aalekh looks on at Ranvir curiously and says "usse bohut kuch kehne aur sun ne ka mann karta hai par..." he stops on purpose. Ranvir is lost in his own thoughts and says "jab woh saamne hoti hai toh sab baatein bhool jaati hai." Aalekh says "main sahi tha..." Ranvir snaps out of his dream world and looks at Aalekh. "...koun hai woh ladki?" Ranvir hesitates "Ladki? Nahin bhaiya...woh...aisa kuch nahi hai...main toh bas...mera matlab hai koi ladki...nahin'uhhhhbbb..." Ranvir gives up, he smiles shyly and looks down. Aalekh says "Dekha...pakkda gaya na? cha lab seedhe seedhe bata koun hai woh? Tune usse apne dil ki baat batayi? Kya kaha usne? Haan bola?" Ranvir says "bhaiya...mujhe khud aaj pata chala hai...usse kya kehta?" Aalekh says "oh...toh kab batayega?" Ranvir says "Bhaiya...pehle yeh toh jaan loon ki woh mere bare mein kya sochti hai. phir usse I Love you bolunga..." aalekh says "arrey...yeh kya baat huyi? Agar usse koi aur pasand aa gaya toh? Toh tu kya karega?" Ranvir says "Nahin bhaiya...aisa kuch nahi hoga..." Ranvir gets up "woh sirf mere liye hi banni hai." Aalekh says "itna confidence hai?" Ranvir smiles and says "confidence nahi bhaiya...yakeen hai." Aalekh smiles and walks up to Ranvir. He keeps his hand on ranvir's shoulder and says "Lekin naam toh bata do...koun hai woh?" Ranvir says "waqt aane pe bataunga..." Aalekh says "Arrey this is not fair...ek hint hi de do. Koun hai woh?" Ranvir says "agar hitn diya toh aap jaan jaoge...bas itna jaan lijiye ki apa usse jaante hai." Aalekh says "Main jaanta hoon?" Ranvir nods yes. Aalekh begins to think...Ranvir says "Sochte rahiye...main chalta hoon...good night" Ranvir waves him good bye and leaves aalekh thinking. 😆
