I do 16 October 2022: Armaan throws the locket away in shock, saying that this cant be and begum cant be his mother. Afreen picks it up and says that this is true, and she knew this before hand, and knew that he wouldnt believe her without evidence, and when granny told her his story, she had thought that she would help him, after what he did, and decided to go and talk to begum, as she is old in the town, but when she approached her, begum got fiery and angry, and went back to the room, and started seeing the key, and then she connected the dots, and knew it was a key to his locket. She says that its understandable that he didnt hear or recognise his mother, but a mother can, then how and why khan begumd ditn, and that there are people, who make their own people strangers. he leaves with the locket hastily and in a rage, while she evilly smiles.
Scene 2:
Location: Meeting Venue
While begum addresses the meeting, thanking them for their support and admiration, and that she would just want to say, that if a nation has to progress, then the centre point is to educate the kids of the nation and then give them a good upbringing. just then, a car arrives and the same guy who saved begum came , while she talks about how beautiful children are, and how she has spent her life taking care of needy and lesser fortunate children. meanwhile, armaan is driving on the road, shaken by the begum’s betrayal, and afreen’s stinging words. they all clap, as she finishes her speech.
meanwhile, the her admirer watches her from afar, trying to get a glimpse of her, as she mingles with the crowd, unable to take his eyes off. he tries to get to her, but misses her by some seconds. He tries to search around and then asks women about begum, but doesnt get a fixed answer. begum comes out, and finds armaan on the porch. she asks him what happened, and is immediately concerned for mahira. she asks him why isnt he responding. Armaan holds out the opened locket to her, and asks begum that she knew everything but still didnt tell him, this time too. she is shocked while he remembers that she had addressed him as mother, and how he was traumatised since childhood. begum hesitatingly asks for a chance to explain. she says that she was about to explain, and tell him everything but couldnt.
he shoves her hand away, and asks what. he asks what was this helplessness, that made her reject him yet again, twice this time around. he says that a mother cant stop her feelings in front of her children, then how could she, and that she didnt even tell that the heart beating inside his, is his brother, and asks what stopped her from calling him son. she says that she knew if she told him, then he would detest and hate her. He says that he always has seen hatred in front of evereyone, and that she had left for him to die, and she would never understand what its like to be in an orhpahange. he says that he used to convince himself, that his parents must have had some helplessness, but when they finally meet, they would hug him dearly, and says that he never knew how he would react when he met them, but today, after having met her, he knows very well.
he gest inside his car, while she asks for a chance, but he says curtly that once she left him and kept him out of her life, and today he does the same to her, in a reciprocative manner, and he throws her out of his life, and his house too. he drive soff, while she rushes after him, but he doesnt stop. she collapses on the floor, while he drives off, tearfully overwhelmed with emotions, without realising that she has fallen unconscious. that same fellow who had saved her earlier comes and sweeps her in his arms, unable to resists looking at her lovingly.
