I do 16 October 2022: Amidst lightning and thunder, armaan comes in a total inebriated state, hurt and wounded, while afreen waits for him, with malice and lust in her eyes. she comes to him and pretentiously, asks whats he done. He sways around and then collapses beside the centre table, while she caters to him and his wound, and says that he cant punish himself for others mistake. he is fully drunk and out of control. He gets up and tries to go ahead, but then says that when dreams break, then noone is at fault, but the eyes, who did the crime of having seen them, and that he didnt have much in his life, but a hope, that a day would come when he sees his mother, but today his dreams were shattered, as he knew the reality of his life that the person who brought him in this world, doesnt love him, his own mother. Later, in front of afreen, he collapses on the floor, totally traumatised and grieved by his mother’s indifference.
She asks him to compose himself, as she caresses his face, while he seeks solace in her arms. She holds him close to her, and while he cries, she evill thinks that finally she got what she wanted to do all along, and now noone can come between him and her, and that who could have come arent in their senses. She thinks that the romantic feeling that could have saved mahira, shall only save her now, and armaan shall be hers, and then she shall be the most powerful Daayan. she consoles him dearly. He then suddenly realises something and leaves from there, swaying and disbalanced, while she eyes him going. she thinks that it was fantastic, that the lord is supporting Daayan himself, and that he cant leave her now, in this thunderous night, and he shall have to come in her arms.

Scene 5:
Location: Begum’s residence
Armaan comes drunk, when he finds his mother’s pic, and remembers how he used to miss the love of a mother, when other kids had it. he asks her why she did this, and why and how could she steal all childhood from him, and ruined his life and when he needed her the most, she was never there, and asks why she did so. he throws the wine bottle at her pic and breaks it. he eyes the pic with disgust and then breaks it on the floor, as it shatters. Afreen stands dressed in front of armaan, tensed and concerned. She holds him and makes him face her. he eyes her tearfully. the screen freezes on her face.
While armaan hurts his hand, afreen rushes to him, asking whats he doing. afreen tells him that with the departure of one person, life doesnt end. She says that life always gives a reason to live on, and its beautiful. Afreen tries to get intimate and casual with him, as she says that life would open up for him, and he just needs to extend his hand once. She tells him that now she is there with him, and when pain becomes unbearable, the person should find solace in another. She says that she wont let him feel pain now anymore. He clutches her hand while she makes him sit down, and then kisses his forehead where he is wounded, and continuing the trail of lips down his face. He finally gives in, being out of his senses. They lie down, with her leaning on top to him. Meanwhile, miraculously in her room, mahira’s hand starts having movement and she starts moving, in her semi-conscious state still.
before afreen can kiss him on the lips, she suddenly feels the urge to puke, and rushes to the washroom. He is boggled. Later she wonders whats happening to her, as what she wanted was happening, then how could this happen, right at the minute when she was about to seal the deal. she is furious and in a rage, and again starts to puke. Then she suddenly realises that she is experiencing pregnancy related symptoms, and clutche4s at her belly, wondering how is this possible, as she hasnt consummated with armaan yet but then remembers her night with azad. She is shocked and frustrated thinking that this cant be.
Meanwhile, from his room, armaan hollers for latif, but noone responds or answers. he puts on a shirt and then passes by mahira’s room yet again, and is unable to glance at her. he sits by her bedside, and remembers that he had placed her hand under the covers then how is it out now. He wonders how is this possible, and if there’s anything really miraculous, that can save her, and remembers the peer baba’s prophecy. He caresses her, and then wonders whats happening to him, when he is close to her, as for a second it felt like, he had no sorrows in his life. He wonders why did he feel like she was his own, and he is drawn to her due to his heart. he says that sciences cant prove this, but if it isnt the heart, then whats drawing him to her. he remembers the peer baba asking him to believe in the lord, when things get confusing. he gets up and leaves the room.
Then afreen enters and eyes mahira venomously, as she has a candle lit in her hands. She asks mahira if she is happy now, but she doesnt know afreen yet. she says that some games are meant to be incomplete like this one is destined to be. she says that when dreams shatter, the eyes are ablaze, and this dream, sha had seen for a thousand years, and in a moment, everything got destroyed, due to her dfead husband and mother in law, as they both betrayed her. she says that th child who is within her, could have been within mahira too, and that everything is ruined and over now. She tells mahira that afreen never accepts defeat, and if she cant win, then she shall not let her win either. She says that she shall have to leave this game incomplete and then eyes the candle.
Scene 2:
Location: Meeting Venue
While the fellow asks her to calm down, begum is frantic and berserk, that she doesnt know whats going on, and doesnt remember or know anything and where is she right now. he asks her to sit down, while composing her. she wonders what she shall do and where shall she go, as she cant understand anything. he places a comforting hand on her shoulders, thinking that the lord has everything predesigned for a motive, and maybe this is his signal as he wanted tara back in his life, and the lord actually granted him that wish. begum meanwhile thinks that, a woman’s tears can melt any heart. she thinks that till the time mahira and armaan dont come closer, and till she doesnt back to her house, she needs a place to lie, and this is the best. She smiles evilly.
later, begum remembers the way armaan behaved with her and is tensed. she thinks that even if noone is by her side, destiny always favours her, and for some days, this place isnt a bad deal to live in. She eyes the house around, and finds the guy getting dressed in front of the mirror, bare torsoed. She thinks that this guy is interesting, and leers evilly. Just then, she finds him with his son, cajoling and caressing him. She understands that he has a son too, Ehsaan and gets frustrated. Ehsaan comes in introducing his son to her. Imtiaz smiles at her and is then surprised. He comes and gets a formal introduction with the children. She then asks about his mother. ehsaan says that she died during childbirth. She apologises and hugs Imtiaz. Ehsaan sees this, and is relieved that he wanted this all along, that imtiaz feels the love of a mother, and today he feels so.
meanwhile, begum is irritated that the father-son duo shall start with their emotional drama soon. then he asks imtiaz to get to bed, as they have to visit armaan uncle tomorrow. begum is concerned hearing armaan’s name as the uncle. imtiaz kisses them both goodnight and then leaves. Ehsaan tells her that tomorrow he wishes to make her meet someone really speacil, his best friend, and also his business partner. she complies. he gets to messaging, to armaan, that he shouldnt keep himself too busy as he wants him to meet someone really special. He smiles at her.
Scene 3:
Location: Begum’s residence
In the kitchen, while armaan gets water, he hollers at latif to get candles. latif comes and tries to shamelessly flirt with him, while he goes past. he walks past, while afreen goes behind him. he then finds mahira’s room into flame. As the entire room, burns into flames, latif, gazalla and armaan are apalled to see this. he tries to get in, they both stop him, sayingt aht they shall call for the fire brigade. But he dives in nevertheless, undaunted by the fear of fire, and rushes in to save mahira. they are all shocked, while he tries to find something to wrap her in, to get her out safely. he then picks her up, and carries her in his arms, and comes out, while her duappata is burning, and his leg too. then they both dive right inside the swimming pool, with her, to douse the fire. he then picks her out, dripping wet, while latif and gazalla are shocked. the screen freezes on armaan and mahira’s faces.
Mahiralies on the bed, with smoke engulfing her, coming from a side, and immediately armaan wakes up with a styartle, as he was dreaming of mahira dying, whereas actually she is lying unconscious in front of him. he hurriedly comes by her side, and checks for her breath and then puts her ear close to her heart, to hear it beating, as their past moments come by her. He says that this is ridiculous, and even if her husband’s heart beats inside him, that doesnt make them related by any relation whatsoever. Just then, gazalla comes in, and hesitatingly says that she came to see mahira, if she is okay, and when she checks her forehead, she is surprised to find that mahira is burning with fever. he checks himself, by placing his palm on her forehead, and is reminded of his moments with her, and then she pulls him out of his trance, asking if he is okay. he says that he is, and then hurriedly asks her to get the doctor. gazalla leaves. he eyes mahira tensedly.
Meanwhile, afreen talks to her brother, who asks if she is sure and she says that she is, that azad is the father of her child, and that everything is ruined now, along with her 100 years dream, for a mere fatal night, and that her motive was the reason she got close to azad, and today that itself destroyed all her plans. she says that now she cant get close to armaan even if she wants to. he asks what shall she do now. she says that she has to plan something big, and that takes time, and hence she would only wait now. She says that she is going right now, but soon she shall be back with a vengeance, and a plan to succeed in her motive, and instructs that till the time she doesnt, noone else should come close to him. he says that he wont let anyone close to armaan. she says that mahira has been put in such slow, deep slumber that she shall die slowly.
Later, samir is busy reading a novel, when his phone rings and its kainat. he cancels the call and gets up to go, when he is shocked to see kainat standing in front of him. He watches tensedly. she asks him why is he ignoring her, as she has been trying to contact him and meet him, but he doesnt want to. he doesnt say a word, and begins to go out, but she stops him. she says that she wants to know the answer as to what did she do so gravely wrong, that he isnt even talking. He says that he has made the mistake, as people who love come closer, unlike them, who are growing apart. He says that he doesnt think that she loves him. she asks him why does he think so. He says that she shoves him away everytime he tries coming close to her. she says that he is misunderstanding her, as she loves him dearly, since he is the person who made her realise that true love exists, as hse senses true love in his eyes.
he asks why cant she then see what he feels for her, and asks why does she stay away from him, and if she is afraid of him. she denies and says that she feels safe in his armd, and that she isnt scared of anyone. She hugs him. His hand evilly goes onto graze her naked back, as he undoes the tiestring of her kurta, in the back. Startled, immediately she jerks himself away. he says that this is what he knows, that she doesnt trust him. he gets to leave, but she stops him, and then says that she trusts him more than herself, and if this is the evidence of her love, then so be it, saying so, she takes off her dupatta. He is shocked, but amused within. naked in bed, he caresses her face, as they lie under the blanket, kissing her numerously, he gets up and begins to go, but she holds him back, and then kisses him, consummating their relation finally. As he lies spent and exhausted in deep sleep, a tear trickles down her face.
When the doctor examines mahira, he tells armaan that her condition is worsening, that before too. Gazalla asks if she would survive. He hburriedly asks the doctor to do something. The doctor says that there’s no chance, and she should be immediately shifted to the hospital. Armaan asks him to do whatever it takes, but save mahira. The doctor tells the nurse to get a stretcher, while latif tells the doctor, that begum isnt here and without her permission, they cant allow him to take mahira to the hospital. the doctor tries to make them understand he is doing this for her, and he himself would like the patient to spend her last days with their family, but all arent that lucky. gazalla too tries to argue, to stop her being taken away. despite their protests, armaan gets her on the stretcher to be taken away.
Scene 2:
Location: Ehsaan’s residence
Begum thinks that destiny is overfavourable to her, first ahil, then anand kumar, and now ehsaan, someone who is always there to hold her hand, and likes the extravagant house. She is startled by the sudden shattering of the glass, as a servant is shocked to see her, thinking that its tarana, the earlier wife of ehsaan. she is boggled. other servants come in and are equally startled, and then say that this cant be her, as they themselves buried her. Ehsaan comes in and begum says that they are talking about some Tarana. he says that its her. she is confused. he then explains the confusion, with her and his first wife. she is boggled. he says that just like him, they too got confused. he tells them that she is their guest, and they should give the same love that they gave tarana. the servants are overjoyed, and go to prepare a feast for her. She is irritated thinking of their over sweet nature.
he then points out how happy she has made everyone, by her arrival. she changes the topic, and asks about other residents. she says thay his mother and granny stay here with him, and right now, his mother has gone somewhere and granny on haj. he askls her to make herself feel at home here. She thinks that she has no qualms in doing so, and this is definitely better than the outhouse. She tells him, that she thanks him for his extended hospitality, but she knows her limits, and she is okay in the guesthouse. He asks her not to mind, as he wants her to stay inside, but thought it would be uncomfortable and awkward for her, hence didnt bring it up. she says that she is right, and that….and then trails off, feigning to get dizzy, and he composes her, while she requests him to take her to the outhouse. He says that he cant let her stay in the outhouse, in this condition, and goes to show her the room. she smiles evilly thinking that this is one helpless chap, and maybe he is too mannered hence became stupid.
Later, as begum eyes her room, she evilly thinks that she is so used to luxury, that she cant stay without it now. she decides that now she shall think in peace, about her next plan of action. she thinks that destiny has tested her enough, and now she wont let destiny win another bout, and that anyhow she has to make armaan and mahira one. she wonders how to make it happen. Just then, imtiaz comes in all excited and happy. she gets frustrated seeing him. he starts playing with her, while she is irritated. she makes a happy face, and then picks her up, and in a bid to play with him, she decides to throw him out the window. but she is shocked when she finds armaan’s reflection in the doorway, through the window’s mirror. She composes herself, and then plays to get his good will. He however thinks that its nice to see them both playing. She starts playing, while he thinks that the lord gives too, when he takes away. he says that this isnt tarana but nothing less than her too.
She meanwhile thinks irritably, that she cant even stay in peace for a couple of minutes too for this irritable boy and it would be better if his father keeps him away from her, or else she might just strangulate him herself.
