Neela : Why are you saying like this Avni , You’re already her daughter , You ought to get selected .
Avni : What are you saying Ma !
Neela keeps her hands over her shoulder ” Come , Sit here ”
Avni : Why did you called me Avni ?
Neela : You call me Ma ! But you’re telling lie to your Ma only !
Avni looks into her with confused looks
Neela : what happened why are you shocked to hear your own name Avni sinha , The daughter of Ahil and Naina sinha or Ahiana . This name Ahiana was given to your mom by her public, right ?
Avni : Neela Ma ! What all are you talking , I can’t understand it !
Neela : Bacha ! Why don’t you understand that for how long you’ll keep on pressing this truth , For how long you’ll keep crying . Just tell me
She was still silent and calm .
Neela in little loud tone : Okay , If you don’t want to share fine , For whole life just keep sitting here , Hiding yourself and keep on crying and crying .
She stood and walks out of the room .
Avni slaps herself twice thrice ” what’re you doing Avni , Firstly you lost your Naina Ma ! And now you’ve made Neela Ma upset . I’m very bad , Very bad . She’s right whole life I’ve to cry only ”
” firstly you made me separated from my father , Then my mom , Then my best friend and now Neela ma ! It’s better for me to die rather doing this ”
Neil’s POV ( At khanna mansion , In his room )
Neil pastes a picture of Alia over his board and pressures a thumb pin into it forcefully
Neil : Alia , A mystery , Case No.123 . You can’t hide from me for so long . Me IPS Neil khana will very soon crack this case . Just do whatever you can , Be it stealing from police station , Or running away from airport , One day you’ve to come to me , To me Neil khanna .
His door knocks ” Sir this envelope came for you ” His servant says and goes out .
Neil opens it and finds out an Invitation card for EID celebration at CHAMKO cafe .
Neil : Tomorrow I’ll get to know everything about this Alia . And I’ll be successful in cracking the case .
AVNI’S POV …
Avni hears children outside shouting to each others , She goes there .
Avni : Mowgli , Mishti don’t fight , what happened ?
Mowgli : Ahiana di , Mishti is saying that this belongs to her , But I found it first
Mishti : Nope he’s lying it belongs to me , I got it before him .
Avni : what is it , Show me ?
Mowgli shows her a mask
Avni best tensed ” From where did you got it , Ha ! , Tell me ? ”
Mishti : From your bag , Sorry Neela ma told us not to do this again
Avni : It’s very bad you should not touch others things like this , Okay ( she took it back )
Mowgli : Ahiana di is it true that some goons came to our house
Avni : what ? What’re you saying ?
Mishti : Yes di I heard it from Neela ma ! She was talking to someone on phone that some goons came into our house
Mowgli : Yes she was saying that they came here in search for Alia
Avni : Kids see it’s time to go to bed , So go now okay
Avni walks uo to the roof top where she finds Neela sitting over bench , Her eyes are teary . Avni comes there holding a box of medical kit . She sits beside her , Plucks a cotton ball and applies ointment over her big red scar on forehead .
Neela speaks ” What happened why are you eyes watery ! ” she says as if she’s making her realize her mistake
Avni ” Just feeling regret that because of a daughter , A mother has hurt ”
Avni ” I’m sorry Ma ! ” she says very slowly weeping .
They both hugs each other.
KHANNA MANSION …
Shweta : Prakash Ji why don’t you believe me
Prakash : How could this happen , Your ears must have heard something wrong , I’m sure
Shweta : Okay fines , Buts my eyes they can’t be wrong , I’m sure they were talking about this Alia only
Neil hears their conversation , ” Mom dad what happened why are you both shouting like this ” ” It’d night now ”
Prakash : Neil , Now you only explain to your mom
Neil : what happened mom
Prakash : She is saying that when she visited Neela Ji some clumsy people came and they were asking for Alia
Neil : Alia ; who but there there’s no Alia
Prakash : Yes ! But she says that they showed this picture and this is Alia
Neil sees the picture , ” Mom from where did you got this picture ”
Shweta : From your room , Isn’t it that same girl on whom you’re investigating , Tell me Tillu
Neil : Yes, The pictures are same but why’d they come to SUKOON GHAR and threaten Neela aunty
Shweta : The day this Ahiana has come everything bad is happening
Prakash : what are you saying , Have you ever met her , Then how can you say like that
Shweta : I’m sure some or the other way this Ahiana is related to this case .
Neil sat there , His mind has taken other route , He was thinking all previous meetings with Ahiana ( Avni ), Her dialogues
” Till you get any strong evidence against me you can’t ever track me like this ”
” All the best Mr.Neil IPS officer , I hope you’ll be soon be successful in catching Alia , My best wishes are with you ”
” Why do you every time staring me like I’m jerry and you’re a Tom , Ha ! ”
Prakash : Shweta Ji now let’s sleep , Its late night now , what’ll neighbours think , They’ll think which fool is shouting at this time of night
Shweta : Oh so indirectly you’re saying I’m fool , Okay now I’ll not speak anything , I should better leave
Prakash : Oh sheet Ji wait , Good night Neil .
Neil : Now this Cat and mouse game has to be brought to an end , And I’ll do it for sure .
SUKOON GHAR ….
Avni holding a photograph , Sitting down on knees beside Neela ” This is our big family ” ” Not really because I made this by pasting each family members picture together ”
” My grandmother Janki sinha didn’t liked that her rich son would marry a blind poor girl , My mother ”
” But my father loved her more than himself , He left home and then we started living here in Mumbai ”
“Our sweet little family , Mom ,Dad and me ”
” But my granny couldn’t bear that his son listens to his wife instead of his mother , She hated my mother , Very much ”
” But my mother , Naina Sinha , She was a sweat hearted person , She never told her fear of loosing her family with anybody ”
” I lost my father in an motor accident , After that the hate rose up , Janki gave ultimatum to mom that she’d kill her and me so as to make her feel the pain of loosing a child ”
” But my mom said she would not go anywhere she’s not afraid , she knows she can protect her family , Her family , Me ”
” One night our house was set on fire , Nobody knows what happened ” ” i was a little girl , My mom holding me ran away to save me , When I opened my eyes , I saw my house on fire , But my mom wasn’t there ”
” I shouted, screamed , Yelled but noone helped me , Not even police not even my best friend ”
” I was parent less that time , Then suddenly someone kidnapped me ”
” Next day when my eyes opened I saw myself in a black room , I was tied to ropes , My cloths tonred away ”
Avni becomes silent as if her heart was beating very fast and her eyes as red as a molten lava from a volcano , Cheeks rosy and nose red . Neela keeps her soothing hand over her shoulders .
Avni : ” A 8 year old girl , In a brothel . They did many businesses , Selling girls , Singing at a bar , Or sometimes I don’t know what ”
” I’ve seen with my eyes , There how girls are tortured their hands were burnt in boiling water , Beaten with a whip , They’ve to spend sleeplessness nights with insects in closed room ”
Avni shows her blisters , Scars and injuries over hands and shoulders ” Now if a needle would prick me I won’t even feel it because I’ve bared more pains than mere a single needle ”
” Every time I used to ask god , Why you made me separated from my mom ” ” But I was miles away from here , At London , Living my life as a famous singer Alia , Who in the morning used to sing at pubs and bar, And whole night used to cry ”
AVNI tooks a Sigh of grief ” One day they told me that they’ve hidden my mom somewhere in Mumbai , And they would not release her ” ” Then this little girl thought that one day she’d escape this hell ”
” The plan began when we were coming to India for a concert , I escaped in a bathroom and came here to SUKOON GHAR to find some peace ”
Neela : But Avni you said that you’ve come here to be a singer now you’re saying you’re here to find Naina Ji
Avni : I found a letter by my mom in my pocket where she had mention that she is always with me , , Her soul is here in Mumbai , But where I don’t know , She said that ” I know Avni , My superstar one day you’ll find me for sure , I know you can’t live without me and I can’t survive without you . But promise me you’ll not tell anyone that you’re my daughter , Avni . You’ll live as Ahiana . First you’ll become a singer just as your mother and then only you’ll try to find me . I’m always with you my strong child . I’m waiting for you , Yours Mama , Naina ”
Neela soothe her ” Don’t worry , I’m here your Neela Ma ! I won’t ever let you go their again I’ll protect you ”
Avni : Ma ! I wanna find my mother , Don’t know even if she’s alive or ..
Neela : No we’ll find her , I your Ma would help you to your Naina Ma you have faith in me Na
Avni holds her hand ” Promise me that except me and you noone should know this truth ”
Neela : But why if we’d not take any help then how’ll we find her
Avni : Naina Ma ! Wants me to live hidden , Because they’d kill me because they want to take revenge from my mom , As they think that my father died because of her , So I’ve to live as Ahiana , Please promise me that you’ll not tell it to anyone
Neela : Bacha now I’m here with you , We’ll win , We’ll find your mom , Okay , Sit here you’re not stable I’ll get some water for you
Neela goes down the kitchen and she holds her head ” Oh god , How can it be , No not now , Now I can’t tell her , Someday seeking a right opportunity I’ll disclose that thing , Ha ! ”
Avni speaks looking at sky : this is my battle and I alone will win it
NEXT MORNING ….

AT CHAMKO CAFE …

Dd : Yes sir , Everywhere I’ve set our men
Neil : Good , But where are you
Dd : Sir I’m just having special Eid sweets
Neil : Dd you know today we’ve to be very careful because that person is coming to meet me over here
Dd : Yes sir , I’m watching everywhere ( He’s eating Laddu and can’t speak as his mouth is stuffed )
Neil : First eat then talk and remember during duty don’t eat anything
He shuts his phone and Ali comes there shaking his back ” Oye Tillu ,Mere bhai , EID Mubarak ”
Neil : Come on Ali !
Ali : So how’s decorations
Neil : Marvelous , It’s looking like wow , And you’re looking great too , By the way , What’s the program today
Ali : Lots of fun , food , Music and dance
Neil : And out of this I’m not interested in anything
Dd comes ” Then Sir you shouldn’t be here , Why had you come here ? ”
Neil’s eyes grew large , ” Noodle bhaiya what if Sir won’t dance he’ll see performances , Yes sir ” – Dd
Neil : Dd what I’ve told you is done
Dd : Yes sir work on progress ( He goes )
Ali : By the way Neil why is there so much security here , I mean it’s celebration time and police
Neil :You see Ali these days a lot of happenings are happening so I want to make sure that disguising in guest if some trouble causing dosen’t come , Don’t worry the party would be awesome
A CAR STOPS RIGHT IN FRONT OF GATE AND A GIRL WEARING BEAUTIFUL DRESS , DECORATED WITH JEWELRY GETS OUT . She turns back and she’s Avni .
Avni : what is this place , I’ve to sing here , Oh god .
She walks a step ahead and is stopped by a black man holding a gun ” Sorry madam you can’t get in , First show me your invitation card ”
Avni : Sir I’m here because I’m invited please understand
Man : Don’t know madam our sir have given us strict orders , Sorry .
Avni : Please for once talk to your sir , Please
Man : Okay wait here !
Avni to herself : This K.K sir is very ..I don’t know , He just said you’ve to perform here , Go we’re coming behind , Now where’s he .I can’t even tell that I’m here to sing song .
She finds out that the Man is busy in talking on phone and has turned aside , Seeking chance she stealthily enters the party .
Neil comes : Yes where’s that girl
Man : Sir she was here only , I told her to wait
Neil : What I told you to keep a hawk eye , Now be alert I’ll see to it
Avni comes in to the party ” K.k sir where are you ”
” We’ll be little late sorry , But for sure we’ll have performance ”
” What should I do till then ” – Avni
” Enjoy the party , Dance , we’ll be there soon ”
Avni : To get early I didn’t even did the breakfast , Oh I’m so Hungry ( She smells food kept there )”
Avni : Oh god Gol gappa’s but I can’t eat them I’ve to sing here , But my heart is melting and mouth is watering , Just one I’ll eat .
Neil standing outside ” What was she wearing ”
Man : A green colored Lenhenga and a lot of jewelry something like that
Neil rapidly goes in and starts looking around , Finally he finds a girl with same description standing at food stall .
He spoke in a taunting voice , Holding Ali who was just passing by ” Bahi pta hai , Bin bullae meheman or Bin mausam barsat dono hanikarak hotein hai ” ( Guest without invitation and Rain in not it’s season both are harmful )
Neil : If like this these people keep on coming here then before the beginning of party whole food would finish
The girl , Avni turns back holding a pain puri in one hand and a tray under it in other hand .
Neil : Ooo so you’re Bin bullai mahaman ( uninvited guests )
Ali : Neil what’re you saying ?
Avni got shocked to see him there and the bite already in her throat caused irritation , She coughs .
Neil hurriedly brings a glass of water and makes her drink from his hand .
Avni : I am not an uninvited guest , I’m invited here
Neil : Show me your invitation card
Avni : Card ( she stumbles ) I forgot it .
Neil : Hmm ! So I should say you’re tracking me today right ! Because I saw the guests list there wasn’t your name
AVNI : I’m not at all interested in doing that for your kind information , I got to know that at CHAMKO cafe , Ali’s food is very special so I came here to taste
Neil : Oh ! To taste food in this costume , Wow , Well , Do you know her !
Avni in her mind ” Thanks god that over there at advertisement board it was written that the owners name is Ali , It saved me ”
Ali shouts : Yah I think I know you , You’re Ahiana right ! Neil’s friend , That one who’s very inquisitive , Cunning , Beautiful , And you’ve beaten him right !
Avni smiles ” Ohyeah I’m Ahiana , Correct , But I’m not his friend that’s incorrect ”
Ali : See he just gave me your description and I identified you so easily , I’m very smart , Isn’t it !
Neil : But Ali !!
Avni : So Ali tell your friend to keep quiet now because here he’s not a police officer , And come let’s go in and enjoy the party !
Ali : Neil ! You just keep patience okay , Come Ahiana let’s go
K.K’S POV ..
K.k and his team are in a car
K.k shouts ” Driver drive the car fastly we’ve to reach there on time ”
Driver : Sir it’s traffic out there what could I do
A girl sitting with him asks ” Sir why did you send Ahiana before , what’ll she do without us ”
K.k : Baby try to understand I’ve send her before us so that she could make right environment , She’s star she should be there Early
The girl beats her forehead ” Oh god what’ll happen to our sir he’s real fool ” She says to herself .
Ali , Neil , Avni comes in to sitting arena
Ali : Come you both sit here and enjoy
Avni : With him never , Give me some other seat
Neil : Me too, I don’t want to sit with a radio that buzzes even after being turned of
Avni : You mean I speak to much
Ali : Guys please it’s Eid today you both should hug each other , It’s the festival of love and bind creation.
They both stare at each other , Ali holds their hands and brings them together , Avnis hand over Neils .
Ali : Arz kiya hai zanab , Zara gaur se sunna .
Everybody turned around .
Ali clears his throat ” Kehte hain , Do dhago ko jitna apas me bandho ge utni hi majboot gandh banegi ”
Everyone ” Wah wah ! ”
Ali : Usi tarah jitne apas me lado ge utni mohobat gehre hogi , Talliyan , Talliyan !!!
( It’s said that more you tie knots between two threads more would be strong single string , likewise more tiffs between friends results in deeper relationship , Clap , Clap )
They both sat down on chairs .
After a minute of silence , Neil spoke seeing Avni typing with her finger over her phone screen .
Neil : How’s your phone now , I mean even after falling from height it’s working Na !
Avni thinks ” Wow he’s curious to know about my phone not me who fell into mud water ”
Avni : Why? are you a mobile doctor that you’ll treat my phone if it’s not well
Neil : Not a doctor but I can easily guess as a police officer that you’re here for a different purpose
Avni to herself ” What kind of brain has he got , Always Keep asking questions , Oh now I realized why he’s a Akroo police wala ”
Neil : whenever I ask you about your plans why you get silent
Suddenly Ali standing on stage announces ” Hello and welcome my dear guests , Ladies and gentleman here we’re to celebrate EID , The festival of love and friendship .”
” So before beginning with any shubh kam let’s eat special EID sweets made by your favorite Ali ” ” Being served over your place ”
A waiter places a bowl of sweet over the table .
Ali ” You must be thinking that Why only one ? Don’t worry we’ve ample of it , But one because eating from one is considered good , So friends take a spoon of special seviyan and offer it to your friend ”
Avni thinks ” He didn’t even allowed me to eat , I’m very Hungry , I’ll eat it first ”
Avni brings her hand forward then Neil also does the same , They both holds the spoon .
Neil : Don’t stare me with those lovely eyes , You know I’ve to eat this sweet and plus your eyes I’ll get diabetes
Avni : Don’t worry I’ll myself would give to hot red chillies to eat you’ll not even feel like you’re eating sugar
Momentarily , A girl comes in she shouts ” Hi, Neil , My cupcake , How’s you ”
Neil : oh hi , Tina , How’s you where you’ve been it’s long to see you
Avni : Cupcake he’s burnt cake without sweet
Tina : Hi, Who’s she , Your friend ? Ahiana that one only Na ! Very inquisitive , cunn.
Avni : Cunning and beautiful , Right ! ( she shouts )
Tina : Ya ! But what happened to you
Avni loudly ” I am not his friend ”
Everyone looks at her .
Neil , Tina smiles .
Neil : Tina why are you standing come and join us
She sat down .
Tina : Wow , Seviyan , I’m too hungry ( she engulfed a big bite )
Avni murmurs : Bhukhi to main hu ( I’m hungry too )
Tina offers him a spoonful and Neil also offers her , Then he took another and offers Avni .
Avni looks at the spoon , ” Ahiana have it it’s good come on ” – Tina
But she was still , Tina gets up and pushed Avni and she finally eats it out , She claps .
Ali announces next ” So guys I’ve two surprises for you , First is we’re going to play a game right now and next I’ll tell you afterwards , So I request everyone to please come near stage ”
TINA holds Neil’s hand ” let’s go its dance time ” . While Avni sat right there over the seat .
Ali : So the game is , Each of the pair would come here and take out a chit from this bowl and whatever word will come you’ve to dance on that song , Right !
Ali : so who’ll come first !
Everybody says ” Ali you ”
Ali : Okay , ( He takes out a chit and music begins )
Boys and girls gathered there to dance , The music began , Ali is shown standing in position like sharukh khan [ Music – Hey hey hey… aah ha…
Subhan allah, subhan allah, subhan allah ,
Valle valle, valle valle, val ]
Tina grabs Neils hand and they both started to dance , But Neils eyes were fixed on Avni and Avni was looking at Avni sharply .
[ Music -Chand sifarish jo karta hamaree deta woh tumko bata
Sharmo haya pe parde gira ke, karnee hain hamko khata … ]
WHILE Neil was quiet desperate that Avni could get up and come to him , They both were gazing at each other , Ali’s eyes were fixed over the gate as he’s waiting for his chand ( Moon ) Juhi .
Ali : I don’t think she’ll come please Juhi come I’m waiting for you .
NEIL TO himself : Why’s she sitting so still and nervous and staring at me like this , What’s the reason behind this Khamoshi ( Silence )
[ Music continued -Jidd hain abb toh hain khud ko mitana, hona hain tujhme fanaa
Chand sifarish jo karta hamaree deta woh tumko bata ]
While the whole crowd was busy dancing , Avni points out a mysterious man , Wearing a scarf over head but his face visible . She got up and moves towards right to have a glance of him ,
There the dance is over
Tina : wow Ali you danced really well
Ali : Thanks , So who’s next
Tina : Neil ! Off course
Neil : Me No !
Ali : Boys and girls give a big hand for our Neil .
The whole crowd yells ” N.E.I.L ” .
Neil looks ” Where’s Ahiana , Has she gone ”
Neil goes and picks the chit and then his turn came .
The music begins , The crowd clears and Neil is shown wearing black googles , He’s on his knees and blowing a flute . Everybody is clapping . [ Tuning – Mashallah Mashallah woh hoo ho… ]
He gets up removes his glasses and the song begins [Mashallah Mashallah Chehra hai Masha’Allah ]
Neil points Avni as soon as she tries to walk ahead , He pulls her holding her arm , Putting a long rolled Handkerchief around her and pulling her into his arms he mimics the song and dances
Naino pe naino ka pehra hai mashallah
Tujhko churaya hai, paaya hai yeh jahaan
Mashallah Mashallah Chehra hai Masha’Allah ]
Avni pushed him back and tries to go away but he again dosent let’s her go , Keeping his arms around her he asks
” What happened why are you in a hurry ” ” Again you want to run from here ? ”
Avni is silent , She freed herself from him , Neil keeps his hands around her waist their eyes in contact .
Song continued [ Female –Mashallah Mashallah Chehra hai Masha’Allah
Rang tere ishq ka Ghehra hai mashallah
Tujhko churaaya hai Paaya hai yeh jahaan ]
Meanwhile , Ali finds Juhi coming in , He rushes to her .
Ali : Hi juhi
Juhi : Hi Ali
Ali: EID Mubarak
Juhi : same to you
Ali : Thanks for coming
Juhi : You invited me so heartily I don’t like to break anyone’s heart
Ali : Come , Come the party is still on ! It’s time to dance and rock
Juhi in her mind : No I can’t dance between people , If someone saw me then
Juhi : Nope
Ali : Come you’ll enjoy , Come
Ali took her into the dance crowd . And makes her dance .
Instantly Avni and Juhi bumped into each other , They have a faint glance of each other , They looks at each other strangely .
But then other dancers came in between and they both separated .
Avni gets shocked , And she stumbles and was just falling down , Trying to save her from falling , Neil falls Over her .
Pause , The show ends here .
Precap: Neil meets Ragu , Avni thinks about Juhi . she sings song
