I do 6 August 2022: While the army officer talks with wazira, she tries to tease him about his wife understanding his shady talks, and asks him to show her pic. He says that he doesnt have her pic. He says that last time he saw her when she was ten years old. she asks how can he marry someone without seeing. he says that he wouldnt have married even after seeing, as he doesnt want to spoil another life by marrying her. he changes the topic, and asks her how is her husband treating her, and has he talked to her or not. She gets tensed knowing that her hsuabnd hasnt called him either. she says that she knows he is on an unofficial mission, and that even if they fight, he sends his message somehow. She says that she is very scared of the riots in Uch sharif. He consoles her that everything shall be alright, as he knows Liyaqat, and he knows how to take people’s troubles, and not get in trouble.
The Army officer asks Wazira not to worry, as he is going to lahore, and then everything shall be settled. he hopes that he is okay.While sanam wanders around aimlessly, the riots begin and all start running. she is boggled and unable to understand. In the riot stricken city, sanam wanders around helplessly, and then starts running for shelter, seeing mobsters. She gets in a shade and hides, where from the corner of her eye, in a far building, he sees the shadow of a person putting his foot on another amry officer, beaten brutally, a hand is seen with four fingers, pointing a pistol at him. She is too stunned to react. the army officer says that he shall come and wont spare him. the mystery man pulls the trigger repeatedly and finally kills the officer. she runs away from there in scare, and on the burnt and ruined streets, desolate.
she falls on the ground running, and hurts her knee. Wincing in pain, she sees mobsters having gathered upto her again, and she is scared. she says that she doesnt know as she doesnt remember. They see the vermillion on her head and think that she is married. they point the sword at her, and ask her to speak up. She is shocked to see blood stained sword aimed at her. they ask her about her husband. They ask her ferociously, and she is unable to respond, mumbling. She tries to speak about the murder she just witnessed. their leader rushes to the other side, and finds the dead body. he comes back and says that its one of their men, and asks who killed their men. They ask her to name the culprit and she is unable to. One of them says that she is from the other side, and if she can kill one, they shall kill ten, starting from her. she gets scared and begins to run for her life, while they run after her. meanwhile the army officer arrives and stands in the middle of the road, as riots engulf the city, bearing witness to it.
Scene 3:
Location: Ahil’s residence
The new bride is shocked to know from the sheikh, on phone, that he didnt receive the girl, and if he doesnt get any girl by tomorrow evening, then she knows the consequences. she is tensed as she cancels the call. She then calls the person, the truck driver, who tells her about the truck accident. She asks if he retrieved the bodies, and he says that its impossible. She says that she needs strong evidences suggesting that the girls are dead, and asks her to call when he has them. She is tensed. Just then gazalla and razaak come to her, saying that the police have come, and they have found sanam’s mobile phone.
Downstairs, ahil asks the inspector how did he get this, and gets to know that he found this at the Toll Pass. Ahil is shocked. The inspector tells him that she tried ahil’s calls several times, but didnt get through and then left a message too. He also tells about the unknown number from which sanam received several calls. He shows ahil the number, who is baffled. Meanwhile, the new bride heaes this and is tensed. Ahil says that he doesnt recognise this number. the inspector says that he shall investigate further, and ahil desperately asks him to search for her. He says that he shall try and his best, and takes ahil’s leave. the new bride turns away tensed, as she finds ahil dialing the number, which is hers. She runs towards the room to escape from ahil, so that he doesnt find out about the call. The new bride reaches the room, and starts searching for the phone, while ahil climbs up the stairs, with the phone on dial.
She finally finds the cell phone, under the sofa and switches the power off, and pushes it back there, and turns around to find ahil staring anrgily at her. she gets nervous and tensed. He asks her why did she lie to him. She is scared of his anger. he asks her clearly what sanam told before leaving. He orders her to say it again. she asks why is he talking to her like this. he grabs her tightly, and says that this is how liars are talked to, and reminds her of her lies. He says that since she called him so many times, that means she wants to tell him something, and asks her why did she lie. He says that if anything happens to sanam due to her, he wont spare her. he finally lets go of her. He says that he should have understood that if sanam was angry she would have taken her stuff. meanwhile, the new bride gets the chance to use her magic, which is badly thwarted by the taveez in his neck, and she gets a shock, and stumbles on the floor.
he says that because of her, sanam went from the house and away from him, and hence now he doesnt have any place for her in this house. he takes her hand forcibly, and drags her outside, in the corridor, while she desperately pleads him not to do this, as its paining her. She tries to reenter the house, but he stops her, warning that he hopes sanam is alright, as before the lord, he shall punish her, and that she has lost every respect in his life, and after what she did, being a wife is long lost, she doesnt even deserve his sympathy, and that now she has no place in this house, and in his life. he shuts the door on her. She thinks that he shouldnt have done this, as she did this for the sake of her love, as she wont let sanam come back in his life, and that she wont let him remember sanam ever.
she says that he is just hers, and he would treat her as wife, and he may have thrown her out, and before this night returns, he would get her back in his arms. the screen freezes on her vicious face.sanam falls right next to the body of the army officer whose murder she just witnessed. she gatheers herself hearing the mobsters scream, and hides behind the building to duck them. when they leave, she rushes out, but is again spotted by them, as they run after her, as she makes a mad dash for life yet again. Sanam tries to knock on one door after the other, for someone to let her in, but noone concedes, and she rushes yet again, as she hears them approaching with their swords. meanwhile, the army officer is apalled to see the state in such ruins. he discreetly goes on a locked door, and knocks, and a key slides out from underneath.
he uses it to unlock the door, and open it. He stands tensed. meanwhile, sanam comes up behind him, in the middle of thge road, gasping for breath., both oblivious of each other’s presence. while he enters, she walks past.Inside the room, Shaad, the army officer, meets a woman, who tells him that Liyaqat used to call from here, to wazira, as he didnt want to use his personal phone, but he hasnt come here for the past three days. she says that it maybe due to the riots or anything else. He walks out tensedly, and then overhears that someone killed a person, when everyone is using swords. he finds a dead body being taken away, and stops them. he progresses towards it, and then lifts the sheet, to reveal Liyaqat’s face. He is apalled to see the person, and collapses on the ground. he remembers his memories of friendship with him, and how he stood by him, in his search for shashi kapoor and evidence of his being alive, and promised to get him.
Shaad breaks down. he finds the cellphone ringing, and picks it up, and is unable to say anything to shazia, who teases that he must be gossiping with his best friend, and forgotten that she was tensed back home. But when he doesnt say anything, she is extremely tensed, and scared when he cancels the call, without saying a word. He hugs Liyaqat’s body, and then places it back, bidding him goodbye, and promises that he wont let his death be in vain, as he knows the culprit, and swears that he shall ruin shashi kapoor completely. The people take his body away while shaad stands desperate. Just then, sanam comes and finds shaad, in his army uniform, and tries to scream out to him, crying for help, dishevelled and distraught. A dishevelled sanam falls in the arms of Shaad, who holds her from coallpsing on the floor, after she places her hand on his shoulder, scared and frightened, and they share a weird eyelock in each other’s arms.
The mobsters reach up upto them, locating sanam, who scaringly eyes Shaad. She hides behind him, while he places a reassuring hand on hers, and she is surprised. They ask him to hand over the girl to them, as they seek revenge. Shaad calmly, in his poetic manner, says that an eye for an eye doesnt solve anything. They try to warn him to hand over the girl, but he raises his hand and stops them. they are furious, as he asks what harm has she done, and asks him to let go of her. They say that they cant, as they seek revenge. he says that the country doesnt need revenge, but justice, and tries to show them the futility of this whole barbaric attack, and the riots, and asks what should they get by killing this girl. they ask him to keep the philosophy to him, and tries to snatch him, but he pushes him away. another raises his sword, but shaad holds it midway, his eyes bleeding in blood.
Both parties angrily eye each other, while sanam is shocked and distraught to see such blood from shaad’s hands, as he pulls the sword down. the other stops them. Shaad stands in the way of mobsters from letting sanam be hurt, who ducks behind him, in scare. the mobsters angrily ask how can shaad turn against his own men for the sake of this strange girl, and asks whats her relation with him. He says that he means the world and everything to her. They ask who is she. he eyes them curtly and says that she is his wife and means heaven to her, naming her Jannat. Sanam is shocked and boggled. they leave without a word. Shaad turns around as his words keep rining his her ears, and she almost falls unconscious in his arms, her head across his chest. he carries her in his arms, while she is unconscious.
meanwhile, ahil is struggling to bear sanam’s parting away with him, as every corner of the house, reminds him of her.As he lays sanam on the slab, her bangle entangles in his medals, and he tries to take it out, stealthily and very carefully, caressing the ahir flick across her face, putting aside, behind her ear. Meanwhile ironically in India, ahil clutches onto sanam’s bangles, crying and distraught, at her disappearance. The screen freezes on the trio’s face.
