(Raj, Neyonika, Mukti, and Cabir are still sitting in the hall, discussing what Manik and Riya are doing while Neyonika is bad-mouthing Riya and Cabir is lost in some deep thoughts. He plays on the entire conversation in his head and all that Riya and Manik said moments ago about leaving the house. His trance gets broken as he hears Mukti question Raj about his drug deals.)

Mukti- Dad aap chod doge naa ye drugs vagera sab? Aap ke liye ye family matter karti hai naa?

[Mukti- Dad, will you give up all these drugs etc.? This family matters to you, doesn't it?]

Raj (irritated)- We will see Mukti. Pehle tum apne pyaare Bhai se kaho ki meri company ko barbaad karna chod de.

[Raj (irritated)- We will see Mukti. First, you tell your dear brother to stop ruining my company.]

Cabir (to himself)- Shit! Ye kya ho gaya.

[Cabir (to himself)- Shit! What has happened.]

(He just gets up from there and runs upstairs to Manik and Riya's room, and Neyonika keeps calling him, but he doesn't listen.)

(The room's door is open, so Cabir enters and sees Manik and Riya packing all their stuff.)

Cabir- Bhai.

[Cabir- Bro.]

(Manik and Riya look at him, and Manik goes towards him.)

Manik- Pehle hi bohot kuch bol chuke ho tum log Cabir. Now it's enough.

[Manik- You guys have said too much already, Cabir. Now it's enough.]

Cabir- Bhai, I know neeche jo hua vo nahi hona chahiye tha but meri baat to sun lo ek baar, please.

[Cabir- Bro, I know What happened downstairs should not have happened but listen to me once, please.]

Manik (a little louder)- Cabir, please. Kya kehna hai tujhe ab? Phir se ye kehna hai ki Dad ne jo kiya usse jaane do yaa Riya ko blame karna hai dubara sab ke liye?

[Manik (a little louder)- Cabir, please. What do you have to say now? Do you again want to say that you let go of whatever Dad did, or do you want to blame Riya again for everything?]

Cabir- Nahi Bhai. Main ye nahi keh raha hoon. I know Dad ki galti hai and (to Riya) I am sorry Bhabhi neeche jo kuch bhi hua uske liye. I never wanted this to happen. At least aap hi bol do Bhai ko ki meri baat sun le ek baar, please.

[Cabir- No, bro. I am not saying this. I know it's Dad's fault, and (to Riya) I am sorry, sister-in-law, for whatever happened downstairs. I never wanted this to happen. At least you tell bro to listen to me once, please.]

Riya (to Manik)- Manik ek baar usse baat kar lo, please. He just wants to talk.

[Riya (to Manik)- Manik, speak to him once, please. He just wants to talk.]

Manik (to Riya)- But I am not changing my decision. We are leaving tonight only.

Riya- Okay. I will continue packing tum baat kar lo naa usse.

[Riya- Okay. I will continue packing. You talk to him.]

Manik (to Cabir)- Chal.

[Manik (to Cabir)- Come.]

(Manik and Cabir leave, and Riya sighs sadly.)

Riya- I wish sab kuch theek ho pata and Manik ke parents uski value samajh pate.

[Riya- I wish everything could get fine and Manik's parents would have understood his value.]

(She then continues packing. On the other side, Cabir takes Manik to his room and locks the door first.)

Manik- Ab bolega? Kya baat karni hai tujhe?

[Manik- Will you speak now? What do you want to talk about?]

Cabir- Mujhe bas aap ko apna point samjhana hai. You must be thinking ki main Dad ki side le raha tha aur aap ke pain ko ignore kar raha tha but aisa nahi hai. Mere liye Dad ne jo bhi kiya aap ke saath vo humesha galat hi rahega and I know Dad ka iss drug racket mein hona bohot galat hai. Par ek baar mere point se bhi socho Bhai. In fact, Mukti ko bhi sirf yahi chahiye. Ki uski family saath rahe. Bachpan mein Mom Dad saath nahi hote the tab aap the humare paas. Aur ab jab Mom Dad ghar pe aate hai to aap aur Bhabhi jaa rahe ho. Mujhe nahi samajh aa raha main kya karun aur kaise theek karu sab. Pehle Mom Dad se relation acha nahi tha aur ab aap jaana chahte ho yahan se.

[Cabir- I just want to explain my point to you. You must be thinking that I was taking dad's side and ignoring your pain, but it is not like that. Whatever Dad did to you will always be wrong, and I know Dad being in this drug racket is very wrong too. But once think from my point also, Bro. In fact, Mukti also only wants this. That her family stays together. You were there with us in our childhood when Mom and Dad were not. And now, when Mom and Dad are home, you and sister-in-law are leaving. I don't understand what to do and how to fix everything. Earlier, our relationship with Mom and Dad was not good, and now you want to leave.]

(Manik takes a deep breath and makes Cabir sit on the bed and sit beside him.)

Manik- Dekh Cabir mera yahan se jaane ka reason tu aur Mukti nahi ho. Hum teeno ki life mein jo bhi bura hua hai uske liye unfortunately humare parents responsible hai. Aur abhi neeche bhi jo kuch hua, usme unn logon ko teri chinta nahi hai aur Mom ye jo Mukti Mukti karti rehti hai naa, uski bhi koyi chinta nahi hai Mom ko. Unka main concern hai vo deal. Unka vo illegal business jiss mein vo drugs becha karte the par ab vo band ho jayega because investors have backed out. Unko uski chinta hai and they both use you and Mukti to convince me. But ab mujh se aur nahi ho raha hai yaar. Thakk gaya hoon main. Aur pehle ki baat alag thi because pehle baat sirf meri thi. Ab Riya mere saath hai and I am responsible for her safety too. Tujhe bhi pata hai ye log kis hadd tak jaa sakte hain and I don't want Riya to get hurt in any way.

[Manik- See, Cabir, you and Mukti are not the reason we are leaving this house. Unfortunately, our parents are responsible for whatever bad has happened in our lives. And in whatever happened downstairs, those people are not concerned about you, and as Mom keeps chanting Mukti's name, she is not even concerned about her. Their main concern is that deal. Their illegal business in which they used to sell drugs, but now it will be shut down because the investors have backed out. They are concerned about that and are using you and Mukti to convince me. But I can't do this anymore, man. I am tired. And earlier, it was different because it was just me then. Now Riya is with me, and I am responsible for her safety too. You, too, know how far these people can go, and I don't want Riya to get hurt in any way.]

Cabir- To aap mujhe aur Mukti ko bhi apne saath aane do Bhai. Hum sab chalte hain yahan se. And Dad needs to get punished for his deeds too. I agree with that. Pehle jab Mom ne aake aap ko blame karna start kar diya tab mujhe nahi pata tha ki aap ne ye sab kyu kiya, aur uske baad neeche my emotions over powered me and maine aap ko aur Bhabhi ko galat samajh liya. But now I know that you are right, Bhai. So hume bhi leke chalo aap apne saath. Main Mukti ko bhi kehta hoon...

[Cabir- So take Mukti and me with you, bro. We should all leave from here. And Dad needs to get punished for his deeds too. I agree with that. When Mom started blaming you earlier, I did not know why you did all this, and after that, downstairs, my emotions overpowered, and I misunderstood you and sister-in-law. But now, I know that you are right, Bro. So take us along with you. I will also tell Mukti...]

Manik- Aur tujhe lagta hai ki tu usko jaake bolega aur vo maan jayegi? She won't agree Cabir aur uske baad vo tujhe bhi convince karne ke liye try karegi and then again those same fights and arguments... so just let it be for now. Aur Mukti knows the truth. Abhi bas vo emotional ho ke soch rahi hai. Thode time baad aaram se sochegi to samajh jayegi.

[Manik- And do you think that you will go and tell her and she will agree? She won't agree, Cabir, and after that, she will try to convince you and then again, those same fights and arguments... so just let it be for now. And Mukti knows the truth. Right now, she is just thinking being emotional. If she will think carefully after some time, she will understand.]

Cabir- So you want me and Mukti to stay with them forever? Without you both?

Manik (sighing)- Nahi Cabir. What I mean is ki jab tak Mukti yahan hai hum mein se atleast koyi to yahan uske saath hona chahiye naa. She is our sister Cabir aur usko unn dono selfish logon ke saath nahi chod sakte naa. She needs time to understand things and tab tak tujhe uske saath rehna padega yahan. Aur jaise hi sab sort out ho jayega we all can live together. Just some more time.

[Manik (sighing)- No, Cabir. Until Mukti stays here, at least one of us should be with her, right? She is our sister, Cabir, and we can't leave her with those two selfish people. She needs time to understand things, and Till then, you will have to stay with her. And as soon as everything is sorted out, we all can live together. Just some more time.]

Cabir- But aap sure ho ki sab theek hoga? And what about Dad Bhai? Kya karne wale ho aap?

[Cabir- But are you sure everything will be alright? And what about Dad, Bro? What are you going to do?]

Manik- Sab theek hoga Cabir. Aur Mukti pehle bhi samajh gayi thi naa to ab bhi samajh jayegi. And rahi baat tere Dad ki to unke paas ab bas kuch din aur hain. Agar vo apni galti rectify kar lete hai to theek hai... nahi to main vahi karunga jo maine socha hai.

[Manik- Everything will be all right, Cabir. And Mukti understood the point before, too, right, so she will understand it now too. And as for your Dad, he has only a few more days left. It's okay if he rectifies his mistake... Otherwise, I will do what I have thought.]

Cabir- But apart from all this, I am genuinely happy for you. Like, finally, you are moving out of this hell. And you both don't deserve all the stress and hate you get here. So it is your new beginning, right.

Manik- This is the only thing that gives me a little peace. I am moving out of here, and Riya and I can finally live happily. Away from all the negativity and toxic things. So yes... right now, I am happy for us. It's finally happening.

Cabir (smiling)- I am happy for you, too, Bhai. But stay in contact with me, okay. And send me your new address jaldi.

[Cabir (smiling)- I am happy for you, too, Bro. But stay in contact with me, okay. And send me your new address soon.]

Manik (playfully)- Aage share to nahi kar dega naa sab ke saath? Aur vahan dusra Malhotra Mansion ban jaye.

[Manik (playfully)- You won't share it further, right? Otherwise, there will be a Malhotra Mansion built next to ours.]

Cabir- Seriously, Bhai. Maine kabhi kuch share nahi kiya hai kisi ke saath.

[Cabir- Seriously, Bro. I have never shared anything with anyone.]

Manik- Haan haan pata hai. Bhej dunga tujhe address aur aa jaana vahan pe. Khush ab?

[Manik- Yes, yes, I know. I will send you the address, and you come there. Happy now?]

Cabir- Bohot khush.

[Cabir- Very happy.]

(They both share a brotherly hug at last, and Manik then goes to his room to help Riya with the packing.)

(Riya and Manik come down with their bags and find the hall empty. Cabir, too comes after them, and Manik gives the bags to the butler to keep them in his car.)

Manik (to Riya)- Tumhari car kal le jayenge? Tab tak Cabir dhyaan rakh lega uska?

[Manik (to Riya)- We will pick up your car tomorrow, okay? Till then, Cabir will take care of it.]

Cabir- Of course. Aap log bilkul chinta mat karna yahan ki. I will handle everything.

[Cabir- Of course. You guys don't worry at all. I will handle everything.]

Manik- Great. So let's leave? Riya?

(Riya thinks something and then speaks up.)

Riya- Main ek minute mein aayi.

[Riya- I will be back in a minute.]

(She then goes upstairs, picks up the sapling from their room's balcony, and checks if any other important thing is left in the room. She goes downstairs after that, and Manik smiles as he sees her bringing the plant with her.)

Cabir- Wow. Ye plant itna special hai?

[Cabir- Wow. Is this plant so special?]

Manik and Riya (together)- Bohot special hai.

[Manik and Riya (together)- It is very special.]

Cabir- Okay, okay. Pehle hi late ho gaya hai. Ab aur derr nahi karte hain. Mujhe call karna okay pohonch ke.

[Cabir- Okay, okay. It's already late. Let's not delay any more. And do call me when you reach there.]

Manik- Sure.

(The trio then shares hugs and greetings, and Manik and Riya leave Malhotra Mansion forever- to start a new journey in their lives.)

(It has been some minutes since they started their journey, and Manik plays light music on the radio. Riya looks at him, a little confused about how cool he is after everything that happened. He looks at her and finds her staring at himself.)

Manik- Kya hua? Aise kyu dekh rahi ho?

[Manik- What happened? Why are you looking at me like that?]

Riya- Tum theek ho naa Manik?

[Riya- You are okay, right Manik?]

Manik- Yes, of course. Mujhe kya hua hai?

[Manik- Yes, of course. What has happened to me?]

Riya- No, actually, after everything that happened at home, you are...

Manik- I am looking calm and not angry. Hmm?

Riya- Yes.

Manik (while driving)- A part of me is happy that we are finally out of that house. And a part of me is worried for Cabir and Mukti too.

Riya- Cabir se to baat ho gayi thi Manik. But I am worried for Mukti. Chahe jo kuch bhi hua ho, people there are not good for her.

[Riya- We had a talk with Cabir, Manik. But I am worried for Mukti. No matter what happened, people there are not good for her.]

(Manik sighs and stops the car on a side.)

Riya- Gaadi kyu rokk di Manik? Kya hua?

[Riya- Why did you stop the car, Manik? What happened?]

(He turns to her and cups her face.)

Manik- What do you think of Mukti? Aaj jo kuch bhi hua...

[Manik- What do you think of Mukti? Whatever happened today...]

Riya- Vo Mukti ki galti nahi thi Manik. I know usne galat tareeke se react kiya and she supported Dad, but uske peeche vo saari situations hain jin ki vajhe se vo aisi ho gayi hai. She was just scared of losing her parents. Hume usse saath le aana chahiye tha Manik.

[Riya- It was not Mukti's fault, Manik. I know she reacted wrongly and supported Dad, but many situations are responsible for it, which is why she has become like this. She was just scared of losing her parents. We should have brought her along, Manik.]

Manik (caressing her cheek gently)- I told you about my conversation with Cabir. Vo hai Mukti ke saath vahan aur sab sambhaal lega. Don't worry.

[Manik (caressing her cheek gently)- I told you about my conversation with Cabir. He is there with Mukti and will take care of everything. Don't worry.]

Riya- Are you sure about this, Manik?

Manik- Yes. Aur Mukti ko bhi bohot jaldi sab samajh aa jayega dekhna. Vo log zyaada der tak usko manipulate nahi kar sakte.

[Manik- Yes. And Mukti will also understand everything very soon. Those people cannot manipulate her for long.]

Riya- Hmm... you are right, actually. Usse pehle bhi sab pata chal gaya tha naa.

[Riya- Hmm... you are right, actually. She got to know everything earlier, too, right?]

Manik- Exactly. So don't worry about all these things now. In fact, think about the new life we will start in our new house.

Riya (smilingly)- It will be our house, Manik. Our own house.

(Manik smiles and kisses her forehead. He then joins his forehead with hers, and they both close their eyes for some moments. She then opens her eyes and looks at him. She, too, cups his face and kisses his forehead, to which he smiles and sighs in relief.)

Manik- Ab chale?

[Manik- Now shall we go?]

Riya- Chalo.

[Riya- Let's go.]

(They both continue their journey towards their mansion and reach after about an hour. They enter the house and take a sigh looking around.)

Riya- Aaj se ye humara naya ghar hoga. Our home.

[Riya- From today, this will be our new home. Our home.]

(He takes her in a side hug and smiles at her. The servant comes to them and takes their stuff up to their room.)

Manik- Acha you must be hungry naa. Dinner bhi nahi kiya aaj. To bana du tumhare liye kuch? Actually raat ho gayi hai aur butlers bhi jaa chuke hai so main bana deta hoon kuch.

[Manik- And you must be hungry, right. We didn't even have dinner today. So should I make something for you? Actually, it's night, and the butlers have left already, so I can make something.]

Riya- Tum akele kyu banaoge Manik? Tum bhi to thakk gaye hoga naa. Tum fresh ho jao main bana deti hoon. Aur mujhe itni bhookh bhi nahi hai.

[Riya- Why will you make it alone, Manik? You must be tired too. You go and get fresh. I will make something. And I am not even that hungry.]

Manik- Main bhi yahi keh raha tha. I am not that hungry, but I thought you would be. Isiliye I thought main bana deta hoon kuch.

[Manik- That's what I was saying. I am not that hungry, but I thought you would be. That's why I thought I should make something.]

Riya- Umm Manik tumhe upma pasand hai.

[Riya- Umm Manik, you like Upma?]

[Upma is an Indian dish and is made from suji or rawa called 'semolina' in English.]

Manik- Naa pasand nahi hai actually. So it will be okay.

[Manik- I don't dislike it, actually. So it will be okay.]

Riya- Great. So tum jaa ke kuch aur kar lo. I will make Upma for us.

[Riya- Great. So you go and do something else. I will make Upma for us.]

Manik- Are you sure about that? I mean...

Riya- Yes, Manik. I am sure. Now go.

Manik- Okay. Tum dinner bana lo breakfast main bana dunga kal.

[Manik- Okay. You make the dinner now, and I will make the breakfast tomorrow.]

Riya- Vo kal dekh lenge. Ab jao.

[Riya- We will see that tomorrow. Now go.]

(Saying this, Riya goes to the kitchen and starts preparing Upma. Manik goes to the room to get fresh. After some time, Riya comes to the room with Upma in 2 bowls and finds Manik sitting in the balcony, thinking about something deeply. She takes a sigh and goes to him. His trance is broken as she sits beside him and passes him the bowl.)

Manik- Thank you.

(He tastes the Upma and a genuine smile comes on his face, and Riya sighs in relief.)

Riya- Thank God tumhe acha laga.

[Riya- Thank God you liked it.]

Manik- I loved it. It's delicious.

Riya- Well, thank you so much, but tum soch kya rahe the Manik?

[Riya- Well, thank you so much, but what were you thinking, Manik?]

Manik- Jo kuch hua ussi ke baare mein soch raha hoon. Specially Mukti ke baare mein.

[Manik- I was thinking about whatever happened. Especially about Mukti.]

Riya- You don't need to worry, Manik. Aur thodi derr pehle tum hi to mujhe samjha rahe the aur ab khud itna stress le rahe ho.

[Riya- You don't need to worry, Manik. And a while back, you explained it to me, and now you are stressing so much about it.]

Manik- I am not stressing about it. I am worried for both of them. Mukti ki vajhe se Cabir bhi vahan ruka hai. Aur maine Mr. Malhotra ke business ko target kiya hai. I am worried ki kahi vo kuch kar na de.

[Manik- I am not stressing about it. I am worried for both of them. Cabir is staying there because of Mukti. And I have targeted Mr Malhotra's business. I am worried that he might do something.]

Riya- Aisa kuch nahi hoga Manik. Aur Cabir to humare contact mein hi rehne wala hai naa. Hum kuch galat hone hi nahi denge. Aur rahi baat Mukti ki, to vo humare against nahi hai Manik. Aaj jo bhi usne kiya vo darr mein kiya naa. Tum teeno ka childhood spoil karne ke peeche Mom and Dad ka laalach hai. Aur ab jab sab log ek saath reh rahe hai ek ghar mein to Mukti wants her family to be together. Phir chahe vo jaise bhi ho. Chahe khushi se yaa chahe ladd ke.

[Riya- Nothing like this will happen, Manik. And Cabir is going to stay in contact with us. We won't let anything wrong happen. And as far as Mukti is concerned, then she is not against us, Manik. Whatever she did today, she did it out of fear. Mom and Dad's greed is behind spoiling the childhood of all three of you. And now, when everyone is living together in a house, Mukti wants her family to be together. Then be it in any way. Either with happiness or by fighting.]

Manik- Humara yahan aane ka decision galat to nahi hai naa?

[Manik- Our decision to come here isn't wrong, right?]

(She moves closer to him and wraps her arm around his.)

Riya- Tumhara yahan aane ka decision tumne apne peace of mind ke liye liya hai Manik. And iss mein kuch galat nahi hai. Mukti and Cabir know that tum ne kitna suffer kiya hai unn logon ki vajhe se. And they both love you so much. In fact, Mukti too knows ki uske parents ne galat kiya hai aur usko bhi bohot jaldi sab samajh aa jayega. She just needs some time. And apne Manik Bhai se zyaada din dur nahi reh payegi vo.

[Riya- You have decided to come here for your peace of mind, Manik. And there is nothing wrong with this. Mukti and Cabir know how much you have suffered because of those people. And they both love you so much. In fact, Mukti is aware that her parents have done wrong, and she, too, will understand everything very soon. She just needs some time. And she cannot stay away from her brother for long.]

(He smiles, looking at her, and she reverts it back.)

Riya- And what about Dad, Manik? Kya karoge ab?

[Riya- And what about Dad, Manik? What will you do now?]

Manik (sighing)- I have just given him a few days more. After that, I won't stop myself from exposing him. It's enough now. He is destroying lives out there for his profit, and that is not done. Just a few days more. If he shuts down his factory, then it is okay. Otherwise, I will get it shut.

Riya- But with all these things happening around, I want you to promise me that you won't hide anything from me. Be it happiness, joy, pain, anger, or anything you feel. I don't want you to fight alone, Manik. And I will support you in everything you do. No matter what.

Manik- I know you are always there for me, Riya. I won't hide anything from you. Be it about anything. Par abhi ke liye ye serious baatein nahi karte hai please. Let's enjoy some time here.

[Manik- I know you are always there for me, Riya. I won't hide anything from you. Be it about anything. But for now, let's not talk about these serious things, please. Let's enjoy some time here.]

Riya- Sure.

(They both then sit in the balcony for some more time and later go to sleep, marking an end to another eventful day of their lives.)
