I do 14 February 2022: Asad takes zoya out, blindfolded with his hands, and points out to her that rain has stopped and asks her to look up. She opnes her eyes, to look at the full moon, and is in amazement, at its beauty. She finds asad looking at it, and says that this isnt the fourth wish, which was that her lover should get moon and stars for her.
She says that he managed stars for her, how will he manage the moon. As she is confused, asad gets up on a stool, and gives a visual impact of the catpturing the moon in a ring, and then gets down from the stool, he kneels on his knees, kisses the ring, and puts the ring around her finger, reminding her of the engagement at tha airport.(MITWA MOMENT), under the full moon light, while zoya is overwhelmed at this gesture,
and has tears. He holds his hands and says that when she had left this ring, he felt his world had devastated, and asks her to take it back, and settle his life once again. She emotinally promises that she would never let the ring be lost from her side, and would always keep this with her. Asad says that just like he would remember her by this scar in the head, in the shape of a Z. She says that she’s the luckiest girl in the world, as she has the moon, stars and above all, she has him, Her personal Salman Khan. She says that he’s fulfilling all her wishes, and she finds it hard to belive that she isnt in a dream. He pinches her teasingly to show her that its real. They both gaze at the moon, and at each other romantically.
In her room, Zoya looks at her wish list, and is ecstatic that these are coming true. She is gripped by a sudden sadness though, as she eyes the wish list again, and fixes her gaze at one particular wish. Zoya thinks that asad made the impossible happen to her, by remembering all that he did for her, to fulfill her wish. But as she eyes her next wish, she says that he wouldnt be able to fulfill this wish of hers, as this wish is supposed to be imcomplete in her destiny. She is in tears thinking about it, and eyeing her wish list.
Scene 2:
Location: Ayan’s residence
Ayan places the mangalsutra in rajni’s neck, while vikram uses this chance to puts aside badi bi’s legs, stopping the door, and manages to close it. They both awkwardly face each other, and rajni asks ayan to let be, as vikram would place it later. As she leaves, and ayan after her, vikram relaxes at his close shave. Badi bi is devastated, as he handles her terribly, and is unable to shout for help.
Later, Haseena is shocked when rashid refuses to accept haseena’s demand for dowry. rashid says that he undewrstands that they would be insulted, but she too has to think if the demands are rightly placed, and that this is unnecessary expenditure, and that they shall give whats useful to the children, but not for the relatives, and asks whats the necessity.
haseena says that they dont need this marriage too, but they are doing it, as some things are to be done without necessity. She says that money shouldnt come in between relations and that they should give some things out of his happiness too, and says that what they are doing would increase nikhat’s status only. Shirin asks them to calm down and talk. Rajni is super angered, and asks nikhat not to torture herself and her family like this. Haseena says that she has told her relatives that they would get gold coins, and she never can bear her word being falsified. Nikhat’s family is tensed at such a rage. She asks if rashid can do this, then he should tell or else…in a bid to threaten him.
Nikhat, unable to bear it any longer, asks what if he cant. Haseena is shocked at such outburst. Haseena reorimands her for talking back to her mother in law, and that she knows the meaning of OR ELSE, and she shouldnt let her say this, in the pious month of Ramzaan. Nikhat says that till today, her father has fulfilled all their wishes. Imran is about to talk, but nikhat stops him, asking how can he ask her to stop and not speak against his mother himself.
Haseena says that she is more powerful than her, and that her father would have to give, as this happens with girls complexioned like her, and she would be the butt of jokes, if she goes empty handed with a dark complexion. Nikhat says that she doesnt believ this. Hasena says who asked her opinion. Nikhat says that its her marriage with imran, and that her marriage is with love, and not money. Razia tries to intervene, but ayan stops her.
Haseena asks her to talk well, if not look well. Haseena says that they wont marry like beggars. Nikhat asks imran to speak up, and she’s saying what they always wanted to, and silence isnt the solution. She beckons him to speak, but he remains speechless. She is shocked. Haseena says that she got her answer.
Haseena says that when nikhat has behaveds such illmanneredly, then she would have to apologise too or else she and her son would break this relation right away. But nikhat without any scare, says that they can. Haseena and the others too are unable to believe what they just heard. Nikhat repeats it to haseena, on her disbelief. the screen freezes on nikhat’s angered and hurt face.
Scene 1:
Location: Ayan’s residence
Haseena and everyone else are shocked at nikhat’s outburst, and refusal to marry imran. Haseena is fuming with anger. As shirin tries to calm her down, nikhat asks her to let her speak, as its her life at stake. She tells haseena that rashid has always bowed down to her wishes and whims for Nikhat’s sake, and if he does anymore he would break, and she wont bear it.
haseena says that she’s the one who’s bearing, by taking such insults from her bahu, who’s dark complexioned. She says that everytime they keep coming to her place begging them to keep the relation. Nikhat says that this time they wont come. Imran is shocked and haseena too, while razia is tensed. nikhat says that they arent against this relation, but now it would be an equal treatment, and that she has said enough, and the person who had to, was silent throughout. Haseena says that they have been insulted enough. She says that with time, they found what kind of daughter in law they were about to take.
Shirin tries to calm them down, but chandbi also taunts nikhat on her outburst despite her dark skin. She says that she had heard that a father’s influence is on the children, and saw it to. haseena too taunts rashid for their broken home, repsonsible for Nikhat’s ill manners. She says that whole bhopal knows about rashid’s loose character. She says that maybe even nikhat is following in her father’s footsteps. Rashid screams and stops haseena from talking saying that he can bear anything about himself, but he wont do anything nice to her, if she says anything about his daughter, as his children are his pride, and if somebody stains it, he wont bear.
He says that she doesnt have to, he breaks off all relations with their family. Haseena says to think again, as if they step out today, they wont return back. rashid says that the door is open, and if she would leave or he sends her out.
Shirin is shocked, but rashid stops her saying that his descision is final. He asks haseena that its his respect and maners that she’s still standing here. Finally she asks imran and chandbi to come along. Amidst shirin’s tears, ayan stops imran and asks if he would go silently, and shows him Nikhat, who needs him the most today, he is escaping today, and she was supposed to get married to him. As he is urged to go, ayan stops him and says that everyone has to make descisions, and he too would have to do in fron t of everyone, and asks him to speak up if he loves her. But imran stays silent. Haseena asks him to come along. All are frustrated at imran’s silence.
Haseena drgas imran out from there. Nikhat is in tears and distraught. She rushes to the room, with the other girls in tow. All others are tensed.
Mamu reprimands rashid for such a hasty descision. Rashid says that he wont send the girl to a place where she isnt respected. Mamu and razia tell him that he should have behaved maturely, and what will the society speak. rashid says that he doesnt care, and asks razia not to talk about responsibility, as if she had fulfilled her responsibility, then badi bi wouldnt be absconding today. razia clarifies and tries to justify. Mamu says that god willing, they would find her soon. He insists the gravity of the situation, and that this is one grave mistake, which has made them the butt of jokes. Rashid says that he doesnt care for this, and he wont agree to this relation.
Mamu says that they would go to haseena’s place and rectify the mistake. Rashid stops him. Mamu asks shirin to dress up nikhat, as she would go with him, and warns rashid that he would see who stops him. He leaves. As rashid steps ahead, Shirin says that he wont stop mamu. she says that he didnt even think once as to what would happen, and who would marry nikhat or should she marry an aged person, or someone’s second wife. She says that he would never understand the pain of being a second wife. He says that she should think that her daughter wont be happy there. Shirin too says that her descision is final. rashid is shocked and tensed.

She breaks into her poetry:
Dont worry nazma, everything will be fine…
Tumhari yeh would be bhabhi, laga degi ladko ki line…
