SHOT 1
OBEROI MANSION
Annika is crying in her room thinking about Shivaay. Gauri is consoling her.
Gauri: Don’t cry, di. Nothing will happen to jiju. Don’t lose your hope. I have a confident that jiju never done the murder.
Annika: I know, Gauri. Shivaay can’t murder anyone. I can sure about that. What I’m worrying now that Shivaay has escaped from the police. All the evidence are against him. I’m scared that the police might do something to him. (Cries badly.)
Gauri could understand Annika’s fear and she is worrying the same too. But she can’t show her fear to her di or Annika will be more worried. Gauri composed herself.
Gauri: Arrey, you are worrying about this. Di, jiju knows the police are searching for him. He must be very careful and hiding at a safe place.
Annika: (holds Gauri’s hands) Gauri, I don’t want anything to happen to Shivaay. We must do something to save him from this murder case. (Gauri thinks for a while.)
Gauri: Let’s go and meet Bhavya. (Annika agrees and they leave from there.)
Bhavya’s Office
Bhavya: Listen, Mrs Annika. I can’t do anything in this case. All the evidence are against your husband. Moreover, he has escaped from the police. This is strong enough to prove that he is the murderer.
Gauri: But Bhavya, jiju has ran because he is confused. He didn’t remember what happened that night. Maybe he ran away because he is innocent. It doesn’t mean only the one who is guilty will escape from the police. Innocent people can escape too.
Annika: Please do something, Bhavya. My Shivaay can’t kill anyone. (Bhavya recalls how Shivaay saved Annika from Daksh by jumping from the building. She saw the love he was having for Annika in his eyes that day. She too felt that Shivaay didn’t commit the crime but she doesn’t get any evidence for that.)
Bhavya: I can understand your feelings, Mrs Annika but I can’t do anything against the law. We might can do something if we get any clues or evidence on his favour. As I tried, I can’t find anything favourable for him. (Annika cries again. Gauri takes Annika from there.)
Gauri: Di, don’t worry. The God knows what is the truth. He will definitely help us.
Annika: (looks at the sky) God!! Please do something. Please save my husband from this case. He is innocent and you know it. If you are really existing in this world, prove my husband’s innocence and make the real culprit to get caught.

A girl is busily working on her laptop at her house. An elderly man is seen reading a newspaper. A guy and a little girl are whispering something towards each other while sitting on the sofa.

Anjali: Yes, sir!!
Shalu: Pochi!! Namme enggeyo poge mudiyathu. Ammakku thirumbavum velei vanthuruchi. (It’s gone!! We can’t go anywhere. Mom has received a new work.) (Arjun nods.)

Next Day
Shivaay comes out from a hotel after washing his face. He is very much exhausted because of running since yesterday. He was thinking what to do to prove his innocence. His eyes caught a news on TV about him. Mohit’s announcing reward for the person who will find Shivaay has shocked him. Few people started to see Shivaay. Shivaay escapes from there but not for long. The police has arrived there. Shivaay runs again from there. He is about to cross the road in front of him but one of the policeman takes out his gun and shoots. The bullet hits Shivaay’s leg. Shivaay screams in pain. The police runs towards him but Shivaay manages to cross the road before they reach him. The police too cross the road but they can’t find Shivaay. Shivaay is hiding behind a tree controlling his pain. The police missed to see him and leave from the place.
Shivaay: No, I can’t let them to catch me. I need to find the evidence to save me. (Looks at his leg.) Aargghhh!! It’s painful. I need to get this treated. But how?? Everyone must have seen the news. (Sighs and leaves from there limping.)
