I do 23 October 2022: Mahira is tensed as armaan demands for a reply, as he says that he just wishes to ask if she is his, and if she wishes to be his for the rest of the life. He says that he cant wait for the rest of his life, and needs to know her answer, and then she finally hesitatingly fumbles, and then is about to speak, as gazalla comes in rushing telling them that some people have come to protest angrily. Armaan and mahira comes down and find people protesting in their houses and are concerned. He asks whats the matter. They show him the newspaper, which deals with a suspicious woman in his life. He is tensed to read this. they point out that a widow and a stranger cant live under the same roof, as its a carnal sin. Armaan says that mahira is the owner of the house, with him.

They say that this is sin, and isnt acceptable, and they cant hide in the garb of joint ownership, and tell him that he might be huge in stature, but not above their religion. She stands in front of everyone, as they have a problem with her, then why are they punishing him,. They taunt and ask whats her relation with this man, since she has come forward, and if she doesnt have a reply, then she should leave the town. She is speechless, as he comes ahead. he holds her hand in front of everyone, and says that he loves mahira, and very soon shall marry her too. the guys are taken aback as they are silenced. gazalla is surprised too. He then turns to her and asks if she accepts the marriage. she is stunned and speechless, and laves from there, without a word and with teary eyes. He tells them that they shall get the invitation for marriage and asks them to leave. they comply resignedly.

In her room, mahira is tensed, as she eyes herself in the mirror, remembering armaan standing up for her, and his proposal to her. she says that she cant understand anything and if this is right, and how can she act in haste towards this big step. he comes and stands behind her, and she is surprised to see him in the mirror. He says that it isnt in haste, but at the right time. he holds her, and then turns her around to face him, saying that her silence is killing him, and asks her to respond, or he has to act more to prove his life. She says yes. He asks what. she says that her reply is yes, and that she accepts his hand in marriage. he is shocked and stunned for a minute and then is overwhelmed that she has consented and hugs her, while she smiles. He asks when, and she responds that they can anytime. he asks fi they can marry tomorrow. She asks if it isnt too early.

he says that tomorrow is lucky, as its the blue star’s night, and if she believes in stars, then he has to, and says that from this day forth, all of her troubles, pains are hers, and every happiness of his is hers. he then says that he has to excuse himself for wedding prepartions. he says that he shall leave himself. She is tensed as he leaves. He goes out and hollers for latif and gazalla, and asks them to hire the best wedding decorator in town, as the one he proposed, has consented and that mahira shall marry him, and that too tomorrow. They are shocked and ecstatic to hear this. mahira comes out smiling, while they tease her. Armaan is amused. begum comes in and hears this and is pleasantly surprised too. Mahira smiles. begum says that she is very happy, and informs of her and ehsaan’s marriage. They are both overjoyed and hug each other. Armaan watches tensedly.

He says that she has hypnotised her grandson. granny begs him to give a way out, as she isnt able to understand anything. He says that there is a way, and asks her to have faith in the power of the lord, and then gives her a Dupatta, worth 5000, and when she wears it, her true colours shall be exposed. she is boggled. He says that this isnt normal cloth, as touching this pious cloth, her reality shall be exposed. She pays the money and takes it. She thinks that begum might have captivated ehsaan, but she knows how to deal with her, and expose her too.

Location: Ehsaan’s residence
Granny comes back with the dupatta and finds begum from back, arranging clothes in the wardrobe, and hurriedly places the dupatta on the woman. A girl turns around asking whats she doing, and why is she giving this dupatta on her. Granny fumbles, when begum says, coming from behind, that she must have brought it for her. granny fumbles and stutters and then leaves. The girl arranges the dupatta and places it on the bed, and leaves too. Begum wonders why is granny so tensed, and what is she upto, and why did she get this dupatta. the girl leaves too. begum eyes the dupatta, and then touches it, and is taken aback, as she feels a huge jolt.

Just then, granny comes in saying that she forgot the dupatta, takes it and leaves, but before that, she turns back and finds begum tensed, and then asks her what happened, and if she is okay. begum complies. granny leaves. begum eyes her hand, thinking that granny is upto her secret, and that she must have definitely brought this dupatta to expose her, and that she shall cut her down to size, as she shall get married to ehsaan, so that she can use him to attain her motive and she wont let granny succeed in hers.

Begum meanwhile is busy practising some black ritual with other allies in a dark corner. One of them tells that they are all witches. she says that tonight, is the moon night, that shines very bright in the sky, and that such a night is very powerful for them. Begum looks at the sky and says that it isnt visible. She says that the moon shall come out, but the fact that it hasnt means that today is eclipse, and that is much better news for them. begum thinks that this means, when she gets married tonight, she shall revive all her powers back. Marrying in a night like this, she says that she shall get her powers back, and she shall have to ensure her consummation with ehsaan, in this eclipsed night only. She is determined.

Granny is concerned as to where she is. gazalla and latif ask her to call and find out. Granny says that she did but she isnt picking the phone. mahira comments tensedly, as to where can begum without telling anyone, on this special day. granny thinks that she too waits with anticipation for this day, so that she can expose her, but god knows where and why is she hiding.

The haldi ceremony begins with all of them putting haldi on her, as there’s merrriment all around. granny is tensed about begum though. Ehsaan tells armaan that they have shared everything, but cant have the same wedding, and then says that begum was feeling awkward. he says that he knows that this is the reason begum didnt come. armaan asks him not to let anyone interfere with their friendship and hug. they take leave saying that they need to prepare for the wedding celebrations too. kainat asks mahria to go and freshen up too. she complies. Mahira is walking in the corridor, when she collides into a person and apologises profusely. but when she sees the face of the person, she is boggled and confused. the person is flustered too and hurriedly grabs his stuff and descends down the stairs.

Mahira finds that its the same person who was protesting against them yesterday, and is shocked as to how armaan can hire a person like this and wonders if anyone even knew that he is in the house, and wonders if he is conspiring. The screen freezes on her tensed face.Granny gives the dupatta to ehsaan’s mother, and asks her to drape it on begum. She is overwhelmed with happiness. Ehsaan’s mother thanks granny for having given her blessings to this relation. she leaves. granny thinks that she has to save her grandson’s happiness from the Daayan. granny comes from behind too, as ehsaan’s mother comes to drape the dupatta around her. begum is immediately tensed. his mother says that she shall help her drape it. begum complies, and nothing happens to her, as she touches the dupatta, which shocks granny totally.

His mother says that she is looking supremely beautiful, while begum says that she shall always rever this dupatta. Granny is confused. After his mother leaves, begum grabs hold of granny, from, her hiding, and turns her around to confront her. begum tells granny that she is old now, and if she actually thought, she would expose her in front of everyone. she opens a box, and shows the remnants of the real dupatta, which is completely burnt. she tells granny that this one, which she is wearing, is false. She asks granny to stop messing with her. Granny says that she knows she is a devil, and she has solid evidence that shows the dagger through her heart and that she shall expose her tonight at any cost. Granny tries to go, but begum gags and hlds her and drags her underneath the sofa, with tape across her mouth, and then loads her onto the food tray.

She tells granny that she is atleast double her age. begum asks her not to dare cross roads with her. granny is apalled.Meanwhile, begum comes with the tray of food, and shyly faces the guests, who help her sit across Ehsaan, in a sehra. Imtiaz asks about granny, and his mother says that she must be somewhere around. begum gets tensed, as he begins to search around for her and then spots the food, and goes to eat, while granny struggles to make a signal. she tries to make a noise with her movements. the priest asks if she accepts the marriage, and she responds in a yes three times, while granny tries hard to capture attention.

Scene 2:
Location: Begum’s residence
Latif and gazlla hover around armaan, and compliment him on his looks. He doesnt find mahira, and tells them that he shall go and get her. As he gets to searching for mahira, he finds a room open, and someone inside the totally dark room. He knocks from behind, and Mahira, who is inside is startled. She turns around and in the light of the torch, he finds her, and asks whats she doing here. They compose themselves, and she switches on the lights, to show her surprise, that she wanted him to enjoy, a fully decorated romantically set room. He likes it and is happy. he says that it isnt more beautiful than her. They both leave as the priest has arrived.

As armaan sits, all wait for mahira to come down. he asks gazalla where is she. she says that she shall get her. he is tensed. In her room, mahira is dressing, but thinks that there’s something wrong, and before things get wrong, she shall have to see this, and finds a video. But suddenly she seems something that shocks her. she shuts it, as gazalla comes immediately asking her to come. gazalla asks if she saw the video. Mahira says that she did. gazalla says that it was meant to be a surprise for her. She drapes the dupatta and then comes down with gazalla, as he eyes her mesmerised. As the marriage rituals begin, the priest asks for armaan’s consent. which he readily gives. The priest then turns to mahira and asks her too, while she eyes armaan tensedly, from the other side of the purdah. he repeats and asks again, as they all wait for the response. finally, she stands up and says no, much to armaan, the priest and every guest’s shock.

He says that maybe there is a confusion. she says that all confusions have been cleared and that she wont accept him as a husband. All are shocked and boggled, as they eye each other irritably. She leaves and he goes after her, without hearing anyone calling out to them.In the corridor of the balcony, mahira breaks into uncontrollable tears, as she cries apalled and distraught, when he comes from behind and wrenches her around, telling her that she cant do this at the last minute. he asks what happened. She says that everything is a joke, her, her marriage and her love, and that its her idiocy that she believed in a man like him, who can go to any lengths for his profit.

he says that she cant go accusing him like this, and what happened at the last moment, when his heart loves her so much. She asks him to stop lying in the name of the heart. She asks if he hasnt had his share of lies, and that she believed he has changed, because he has azad’s heart. She says that she knows he called the crowd yesterday, as he saw his paid actor working today, and how he had paid him too. he says that its a co-incidence as how could he have known. she says that for heaven’s sake she shall trust him again and then goes in and brings the property papers. She tells him that she found these papers and how they landed up again, when she had torn them. He says that he accepts this, but it doesnt prove that he doesnt love her.

She ask how much shall he lie more. She says that she is disgusted, and that she was an idiot to trust him, but she wont do that anymore as she knows that a person like him cant love anyone at all, and emotions cant arise in his heart and that she hates him. she remembers his romantic gestures. he says that its all a misunderstanding as his love is true and everything else fake. she is shocked at his audacity and asks if he needs more proof. She goes back in and then gets the laptop. It shows a video of him, professing his love for her, and he says that it was her surprise, but then is shocked into silence to see the camera still rolling, where he expressses his frustration at having to do this idiotic acting of being in love. he stands tensedly, while she eyes him with betrayal, and asks if she still wishes to remain on his stand, as what she had thought about him was right, that he is a ruthless emotionless man. She says that she can never love a man like this. The screen freezes on his tensed face.
