Naira with Kunal and Tanvi went to the bar. Naira was lost somewhere. She didn't want to come here but she convinced herself for her friends; Kunal and Tanvi. She found some happiness which she was searching for since 2 years after the mishap. She felt amazing talking with them and enjoying such kind of party after years. But this also reminded her of Kartik. And how they used to go to parties and enjoy together, like a HAPPY EVER AFTER COUPLE. But now everything vanished in a blink of an eye. All the happiness, love, enjoyment were taken place by pain, guilt and sorrow. A lone tear escaped her eye but she immediately wiped them, not wanting to spoil her or her friends mood and night.

They reached the bar. While entering, naira hesitated but Tanvi held her hand and took her inside assuring everything was going to be fine. Naira gained some courage and went in. It was full with people. The trio went to the bar counter and Kunal ordered some drinks.

K: Hi, one 007 Martini for me. What will you take Tanvi, Naira?
T: Mere liye one Tequila.
K: And Naira you? Tum kya logi?
N: Sorry guys, mai drink nahi karti?
T: Kya Naira. Arey ek baar try to kar, then see kya maza ayega. Bartender iske liye ek whiskey.
N: No Tanvi, plz maine kaha na mai drink nahi karungi. Agara tum logo ne zabardasti ki na toh main ghar chalijaungi...
T: Accha baba leave it. Will you have a mocktail (Naira nods) Ok one mocktail for her. Happy Naira. chal ab thoda slime kar. party pe ayi hai koi satsang pe nahi. Idhar smile karna allowed hai. Chal smile kar....

Naira slimed at her words and by them their drinks came. Kunvi (Kunal+Tanvi) were having their alcohol drinks while Naira was having her mocktail. But when she took a sip, she tasted the drink a bit different. But she shrugged that thought off and continued drinking it thinking that it might be tasting different due to her drinking something like this after a long time

(BUT WAS SHE RIGHT OR IS IT SOMETHING ELSE)

They all drank their first one but then naira started asking for one more. Kunal and Tanvi were amused and shocked at the same time that Naira was asking for another one but the poor souls didn't knew that it was something else..... Naira asked for one more She gulped the whole thing at once and asked for one more. Kunvi went to the bartender and asked him what did he give her and the bartender revealed that he accidently added Whiskey instead of mocktail and it was some confusion. Kunvi were shocked and they went to naira who gulped the 3rd whiskey shot and was asking for the fourth one. naira stumbled a bit but still asked for another one.

N(in a drunk tone): Arrey bhaiya ek aur shot ye wala plz. jaldi.... kitna achha hai ye pata hai kya banaya hai... aur kisne banaya hai.... Amrit haiAmrit... Jisne bhi banaya hai man to karta hai uske haath hi choom loon. Kisne banaya hai ye AMRIT......
The bartender(in a low voice): Maine banaya hai... Haath choomne hai to choom lo na...

But Tanvi and Kunal heard it and glared the bartender. They both held a stumbling Naira and tried to get her away from the counter. But Naira was adamant. And she pushed Kunvi lightly. They were shocked to see Naira gulping 2 shots at a time... They gulped their saliva and feared the consequences as they promised Keesh that they will take care of her. But now they were seeing the sight in front of them with their mouths open. With that Naira finished her 10th whiskey shot and was asking for more But the bartender said that that was the maximum amount of drinks she could have. With that naira started bargaining and arguing with the person and was cursing him....

N(in a funny drunk tone): Are de de na ek aur... Teri height kam ho jayegi kya use.... Mai customer hoon aur customer bhagwan hota hai chalo ek aur shot do aur mere pair chou... Ashirvaad milega....

Bartender: Are madam bas karo na mujhe meri job bohot pyari hai aur shots nahi milsakte... jitna pina that pi liya isse jyada nahi milega... Ab jao yaha se

N: Are kaisa badtameez aadmi hai. Akala hi nahi hai baat karne ki... Hatto

Then Naira went to Kunal and Tanvi and told them to dance with her. Just then a handsome hunk came in the bar and ordered a drink, standing just a few feet away from Naira. He was desperate to drink with pain, anger etc. in his eyes. HE WAS NONE OTHER THAN KARTIK. he didn't notice Naira, Kunal or Tanvi and was busy gulping his shot. Just then they heard an announcement.

Person: Hello ladies and gentlemen, today is the day where you can put your feelings in a song and sing it to our loved one. So whoever wants to say their feelings, can come here on the stage with their beautiful voice.....S who wants to sing first....

A voice came...

V: Meeeeeeeeeeee

Person: Okay well here is our first person give a huge round of applause for her. Well Miss plz introduce yourself ....and who do you want to dedicate this song to...

N(in a drunk tone): Mera naam Naira Goenka hai...

Listening to that Kartik was shocked. It was Naira standing there all drunk in front of him. Did she drink? But why? These thoughts were roaming in his mind continuously....

N(in a cute drunk voice): Oops sorry sorry sorry...Naira Goenka nahi Naira Singhania nahi nahi Goenka... Mujhe to pata bhi nahi main apna sirname kya rakhoon (she said in a childish tone and everyone laughed) kyunki mera pati mujhse angry ha Aur mai bhi. Aur ye song mai use sunana chahungi aur meri dil ki feelings bhi...Dekho voh hai vahan MR. ANGRY GEONKA... A huge round of applause.

Saying that she started singing while Katik looked at her shocked and confused as to what she was gonna do..... with that he heard the music followed by a beautiful voice. Her voice had pain.... Immense pain...

(AANKHON MEIN ANSOON LEKE)

Aankhon mein aansoo leke
hoton se muskuraye
Aankhon mein aansoo leke
hoton se muskuraye
Hum jaisi jee rahe hai koi
jeeke to bataye
Hum jaisi jee rahe hai koi
jeeke to bataye

(Naira started singing, looking at Kartik with Pain and Tears which were brimming in her eyes and were about to flow like a river....A river of tears of PAIN, ANGER, GUILT... But she still smiled. Maybe it was smile of PAIN she went through in these years coming out as tears and song)

Aankhon mein aansoo leke
hoton se muskuraye
Aankhon mein aansoo leke
hoton se muskuraye
Hum jaisi jee rahe hai koi
jeeke to bataye
Hum jaisi jee rahe hai koi
jeeke to bataye

(Kartik looked at Naira who was singing looking at him. He saw tears which he hated in her eyes but right now he was also in pain. He looked away to avoid her gaze and gulped another shot with a tear or two escaping his eye. He again turned back to find Naira wiping her tears)

Jo tut ke na tute koi aisa dil dikhaye
Jo tut ke na tute koi aisa dil dikhaye
Hum jaisi jee rahe hai koi
jeeke to bataye
Hum jaisi jee rahe hai koi
jeeke to bataye

(Naira sang while pointing her finger towards her heart, continuously poking it, pointing it to Kartik telling her how her heart was paining. Kartik also looked at her with his red fierce eyes, ready anytime to blast with anger and tears. They both shared an eye lock. A painful one. Both were in pain. Pain of separation, pain of losing someone close to them, pain of not able to trust him/her..... etc)

Maine to ki mohabbat tune ki bewafai
Taqdeer ye hamari kis mod pe le aayi
Taqdeer ye hamari kis mod pe le aayi

(Naira went down to the the floor and started walking towards Kartik stumbling sometimes, but handling herself. She went to him and pointed her finger towards him at the word "BEWAFAI".... Kartik looked at her hand and then at her..... Then she touched his face. Kartik was looking at her with no emotions. He understood she was indicating the words of the song to him. A piece of his heart ached badly when she was in tears and was blaming him but then he was reminded of his brothers death and removed her hand from his face)

Tute hai is tarha dil aawaz tak na aaye
Tute hai is tarha dil aawaz tak na aaye
Hum jaisi jee rahe hai koi
jeeke to bataye
Hum jaisi jee rahe hai koi
jeeke to bataye

(She pointed towards her heart telling him about her broken heart...Then she leaned towards his chest and kept her head on his heart trying to get some emotions.... she moved back and looked at his face again wiping his and her tears. Just then Kartik heard someone talking to someone:
P: Lagta hai ye ladki bade hi pain mein hai. Iski awaz mein itna dard hai ki kisi bhi insaan ki aankhon se aansoon aa jaye. Bura lag raha hai.
Kartik sighed and again looked at her, smiling at him. She gain pointed towards herself. And went to the counter and drank a shot)

Afsos mere dil ko mujhko bhula diya hai
Meri wafa ka tune achha sila diya hai
Meri wafa ka tune achha sila diya hai

(She again went to Kartik and circled around him caressing his face. She came face to face with him and looked at him with accusing eyes. She held his hand and kissed it. She went back and again drank a shot.... )

Tumne to keh diya haan
bayan bhi kar na paaye
Tumne to keh diya haan
bayan bhi kar na paaye
Hum jaisi jee rahe hai koi
jeeke to bataye
Hum jaisi jee rahe hai koi
jeeke to bataye

(She again went to the stage, stumbling and sat on a chair with the mike. By then Keerti and Naksh came to the bar and listened to a familiar voice. They were shocked to see Naira singing a song, drunk. Just then Naira again stood up and was going to fall down the stage but a strong pair of hands avoided that. Naira looked up and saw Kartik. Tears built up in her eyes and she again started singing)

Aankhon mein aansoo leke
hoton se muskuraye
Aankhon mein aansoo leke
hoton se muskuraye
Hum jaisi jee rahe hai koi
jeeke to bataye
Hum jaisi jee rahe hai koi
jeeke to bataye..

(Keesh were shocked to see Kartik there holding naira. Now they understood why Naira was sad after coming from college. They were feeling very bad for naira because seeing him her wounds again became fresh, killing her more. Naira helped herself and came out of Kartik's hold and wiped her tears...)

Hum jaisi jee rahe hai koi
jeeke to bataye
Hum jaisi jee rahe hai koi
jeeke to bataye..

(Naira was walking and at the end of the song, while wiping her tears, she fell unconscious.)

Nairaaaaaaa . A voice cane and Kartik looked at the owner of the voice. He was startled to see Naksh and Keerti there. The trio looked at each other and then Naksh quickly went to Naira. He patted her cheeks and Keerti was rubbing her palms.... Then Kartik came to Keerti and hugged her while Keerti was just syanding there with no emotions..

Ka: Keerti kaisi hai tu.... Pata hai in do saalon mein kitna miss kiya maine. Na tujhe dekha na tujhse baat hui.... Tujhe pata.....

Before he could continue, Keerti pushed him back, making him stumble. He looked at keerti with shocked eyes.

Ke: Agar ho gaya ho totum yahan se jaa sakte ho.
Ka; Keerti tu ye ky......

Naksh interrupted him.

N: Keerti Naira, Naira ki saansein bohot slow ho rahi hai.
Ke: Kya lekin ye kaise. Tanvi Kunal kya hua tha yahan?
Tanvi: Vo hum teeno yahan club mein ayethe to galti se bartender ne cocktail ki jagah wishkey dedi. Aur phir Naira ne 10 shots iye. Humne roka bhi par vo nahi ruki. Phir vo gana gane lagi, KG sir ke saath..... Aur phir ye hua.

Keerti looked at kartik and knew that she was in this condition due to Kartik. Because her mind got triggered due to him and the memories came back. She looked damn angry but didn't show.

N: Keerti jaane se Pehle Naira ne medicines li thi kya
Ke: Pata nahi naksh. Vo jab kamre se bahar ayi tab mujhe laga le li hogi
N(shouting): MATLAB aapko nahi pata ki Naira ne dawai li thi ki nahi. maine uske medicines ki zimmedari aapko di thi. kam se kam dhyaan to rakhna chahiye tha.

Kartik who was silently witnessing everything, spoke up as he saw Naksh shouting at his sister.

K: Naksh tum meri behen se aise baat nahi kar sakte. Uski kya galti hai. Galti to tumhari behen ki hai... Humesh to usi ki galti hoti hai.... Sabkuch chupane ki...... Aur to aur.....

Ke(facing Kartik shoting at him): Bas kar..... Mere pati mujhse baat kar rahe hai. Vo mujhpe chillaye ya mujhe daante ye humara family problem hai. Tum koi nahi hote isme interfere karne wale....So better just back off.

Ka: Keerti main tera bhai hun. Kaise koi bhi meri behen pe chila sakta hai.

N; Vaise hi Naira meri behen hai aur tum uske baare mein bhi kuch nahi bol sakte. Aur tum hote kon ho mujhe sikhane wale ki mujhe kispechillan chahiye aur kispe nahi. Are tumhari wajah se toh meri beh.....

Before Naksh could complete, Keerti held his hand indicating him not to speak any further. Kartik was looking at the duo, and was confused. What was Naksh talking about?

Ke: naksh hume jaldi Naira ko ghar leke jaana hoga. Plz chaliye... Aise logo se muh lagne ka koi faida nahi jo KHUD DUSRON KO DARD DETE HAI AUR BAAKIEON KO DARD NA DENE KI SALHA DETE HAI....Chaliye plz... is wakt Naira important hai, koi ajnabee nahi....

Saying that, Keesh along with Naira and Kunvi went to their home. There Kartik's heart was broken into a million pieces thinking and registering Keerti's words as he knew that was for him. Sighing, he left towards his hotel.....
