Recap: Sanyukta proves Randhir innocent by exposing Simran in front of everyone and later gains consciousness in the hospital after drinking the drink spiked by Simran. Sanyukta and Randhir promise each other to always have each other's back and that they will always share their problems with each other.

In Hospital

Sanyukta: Randhir ......Where is Saanjh?

Randhir: Chashmish .....she just left half an hour ago....she wanted to stay but since her mom was not well so she left.....but she left a fresh pair of clothes for you.....

Sanyukta(smiling): Thank god.....I was so uncomfortable in that dress.....and all this chaos.....I am really tired now......when will I be discharged Randhir?

Randhir: Chashmish.....now you are perfectly alright.....so I will just complete the formalities and then we can leave....and even uncle aunty must be worried.....it's really late now.....

Sanyukta : No....actually mom and dad are not at home.....they left for US in the afternoon .....it's my cousin's wedding but I couldn't go because shooting is going on in the college and already syllabus is lagging behind .......moreover mom and dad went for around two weeks so......I wouldn't be sanctioned leaves for such a long time.....

Randhir: But Chashmish......

Their talks were interrupted when the director of his show and dean entered the hospital ward

Dr. Sharma: How are you Sanyukta?

Sanyukta: I am absolutely alright mam...........

Dr. Sharma: You did a great job Sanyukta.......(turning to Randhir).....and I am really sorry Mr. Shekhawat....we didn't expect that a model student like Simran could have gone so low........to the level of blackmailing you and blaming you for molestation was just unacceptable......I am really sorry on behalf of my whole college

Director: I am sorry too Randhir.....I should have trusted you .....I have known you as a person and I should have trusted you that you could never do something like this...... (looking hopefully towards Randhir)I hope that the protagonist of Sadda haq will be back to shoot from Monday......

Randhir(smiling and playfully): Of course Sir.....I am at your service........

Director: along with that .....I hope that Ms. Aggarwal......you will be back as the coordinator too.....

Sanyukta(playfully looking towards Randhir): Sir I don't have any problem in coordinating with the team.....but I can't tell about Mr. Shekhawat....after all he was not happy with my work.....(smirking towards Randhir).....right Mr. Shekhawat.

Randhir(nervously laughing): What.....why would I have any problem.....she is really very efficient in her work.

Sanyukta(raising an eyebrow): Really.....?

With that all of them laughed on Randhir.....after sometime.....director and dean left and Randhir went to complete the formalities and Sanyukta changed her clothes and was waiting for him.....

Randhir: come Chashmish.....let's leave

In the car.....

Sanyukta: umm....Randhir....how much was the bill in the hospital....I will transfer the amount in your account.....I am not carrying any cash right now

Randhir: come on Chashmish.....at one moment you call me your friend and on the other moment you behave as if we are strangers......I am hurt Chashmish.....Can't I even pay such a small amount for you and especially when you were in this situation all because of me...... I didn't know that we have such a big amount of formality between us.

Sanyukta: Randhir.....you know I didn't mean that .....it's just....

Randhir(irritated): Let it be Chashmish.......

Sanyukta: Randhir.....now don't be grumpy.....(pulling his puffed up cheeks and laughing)you are looking like a tomato......

Randhir just focussed on driving.....

Sanyukta( joining hands): Sorry baba.....now stop being grumpy

Suddenly Randhir stopped the car.....

Randhir: We have reached......go now

Sanyukta: Randhir......am sorry.....I truly consider you my best friend.....I promise I won't bring this formality again

Randhir(smiling lightly): Promise.....?

Sanyukta: pakka promise....

Randhir nodded....but Sanyukta felt he is still angry

Sanyukta: Achcha.....now come inside....let's have coffee....

Randhir: Chashmish.....let it be....I am not in the mood....and anyways it's too late and you are tired too....

Sanyukta: you have not forgiven me yet.....isliye you are refusing.....and now who is being formal....(mimicking him)....it's too late....(sarcastically)......as if you are a good boy who sleeps sharp at 10....

Randhir(flirtingly): Ok Chashmish if you insist......but soch lo ek baar

Sanyukta(confusingly): kyun

Randhir(flirtingly singing): Hum tum ek ghar main band hon.....aur uncle aunty bhi na aayen.....mere pyaar ki bhool bhulaiya main....(stroking her nose)Chashmish kho jaaye.......

Sanyukta(slapping his shoulder): Shut up.....come now......

After that Randhir parked the car and Sanyukta opened the lock and they went inside......

Sanyukta: Tum baitho.... I will just be back

Randhir sat and Sanyukta went to change and came out in a simple kurti and patiyala.....

Randhir: umm Chashmish where's the washroom....I want to freshen up a bit....

Sanyukta: umm you can use my room's washroom.....till that time I will prepare coffee......

After sometime he came out of the washroom and he started observing Sanyukta's room......the room was painted in a white and lavender combination which was soothing like Sanyukta's personality.....there was a wall of fame in her room.....where all her trophies and certificates are kept......

Randhir(observing her trophies): Chashmish is soo studious.....itni saari trophies and certificates.....no wonder she's so sincere and dedicated towards her work.....

Another wall was filled with her pictures with her family and some were her solo pictures from her school and college days.....on one side of the room .....a guitar was kept and on the other side there was her study desk with a book shelf......he went to the study desk and saw something on her table......a heavy bundle of pages stapled together . He opened the first page and a title was written in bold letters........ " My Sky Of Dreams". He turned the page and read the Prologue........

Prologue

Sky.......boundless, limitless and endless.......just the opposite of my life which is full of boundations, limits and is caged.....caged in my disabilities. This is Naina's story......a story of her life and her dreams.....dreams which she saw not with closed eyes but with open heart because it didn't really matter if her eyes were closed or open......because it was only darkness that filled her life. Naina means eyes......her mom used to say that she has got the most beautiful eyes of the world and she used to believe her always.....because she knew they must have been "beautiful just not useful". Eyes without eyesight was like a heart without heartbeats, a car without engine and a building without foundation. However her eyes without eyesight did not signify dreams without hope, if anything......her dreams were full of hope. Her life may have been filled with darkness but her dreams were always enlightened with the light of hope. Her sky was boundless, limitless and endless.....not because she had seen the sky with her eyes......but because it was her "sky of dreams....dreams which were boundless, limitless and endless........"

Prologue ends

By the time Randhir finished reading the prologue, Sanyukta called him

Sanyukta: Randhir come......coffee is ready.

Randhir: coming Chashmish....

Randhir(keeping the script on table and thinking): Chashmish has so much of talent.....and she's enclosing it in her study table....why Chashmish...?.....I really wish that you yourself had the courage to give wings to your dreams....like the protagonist of your story....Naina did.....

After that he went downstairs and had coffee with Sanyukta....but all the time he kept thinking about her script and the talent that she has and is wasting. After sometime he went to his hotel and kept thinking about it till....sleep engulfed him.

Friday, 8 AM, St. Xaviers College

The set of the show was again being arranged in the college and Parth was back to Mumbai and he and Randhir were talking to the director while Sanyukta was back to her co-ordinator position and was helping in the set up

Director: Randhir.....for 2-3 days we have focused the track on parth's character and its backstory....because of all the ruckus we had to divert the story a little.....so you have a break for this weekend and then you can join back on Monday

Randhir: Alright Sir.....then I will see you on Monday

After that the director left.... And Parth and Randhir were talking to each other

Parth: So Bro.....how far have you succeeded in "Mission Chashmish"? Your 10 days deadline is already over.

Randhir(smirking): Dude..... Randhir never loses.....as I said Chashmish considers me her Best friend....you were not here for the past few days.....otherwise you would have seen.....to what lengths she can go to help me

Parth: Really......?

Randhir: Dude.....my charm is such that no girl can resist me.......then Chashmish was just a cakewalk......and if you don't believe me.....then wait for my birthday next week.....I will prove it to you

Parth: We will see that.....

Later Randhir saw Sanyukta going towards her classroom and he went behind her but before he could reach her, she was stopped by the dean and they started talking.....Randhir saw that some serious conversation was going on between them and Sanyukta was denying to what the dean was saying....so he decided to eavesdrop their conversation by hiding behind a pillar.

Dr. Sharma: Sanyukta why don't you understand this conference is being conducted in the main branch in Mumbai especially for Psychology professors. You should attend it. It will be really helpful and we need you to represent us in that conference and it's only for this weekend.....you don't need to worry about the lectures and coordinating with the team....I will handle it all

Sanyukta: Mam but our syllabus is lagging behind and above that I have a lot of research work to do and I hardly get my weekends to complete it.

Dr. Sharma: Sanyukta, this conference will be helpful in your research work as well.....Please think about it once.....

Sanyukta just nodded and the Dean left......Randhir heard all the conversation between them...and planned something

Randhir(in mind): Conference.....that too in Mumbai ......Chashmish baby....there couldn't be a better opportunity for you ......

Later Randhir and Sanyukta were having lunch together and were talking to each other

Randhir: Chashmish.....have you ever tasted Vada pav.....its the best delicacy of Mumbai

Sanyukta: Really.....but I don't think it will taste anything in front of Delhi Chaat....

Randhir: Chashmish.....that's not fair.....how can you judge Vada pav without even tasting it.....Why don't you come to Mumbai with me, taste Vada pav and then decide whether it is better than Delhi street food or not

Sanyukta(laughing): What are you saying Randhir....I should go to Mumbai only for tasting Vada pav....?

Randhir(smirking): Well you can attend your conference as well......

Sanyukta(widening her eyes): How do you know about it.....were you eavesdropping....? That's bad manners Randhir

Randhir: Chashmish.....you can teach me all the manners on our flight to Mumbai.....I have this weekend off so I was thinking that I will visit my home as well.....and I will give you a mini tour of Mumbai as well.....what say?

Sanyukta: Randhir.....I am not going....I have to complete my research work and even mom dad are not home.....I can't go to Mumbai without asking them

Randhir: Come On Chashmish......which era do you live in?.....you can video call your parents and take their permission and you will be going there for work so I very well know they won't deny....and as far as your research work is concerned .....this conference will help you in your research work as well.....so don't give me such excuses....do one thing.....ask your parents now.....

Sanyukta called her parents and told them about the conference.....and they happily agreed and allowed her to go to Mumbai

Randhir(smirking): See......I told you Chashmish....

Sanyukta: Randhir but.....

Randhir: What's the problem Chashmish.....

Sanyukta(adjusting her spectacles): I have never traveled alone and that too this far

Randhir: Come On Chashmish.....I am also going with you....Why are you worrying so much......?

Sanyukta: Randhir please.....

Randhir(in mind): Chashmish is so stubborn.....

Then he remembered something.....

FLASHBACK

"Sanyukta(gathering courage): Ummm......Randhir would you like to go out with me ?

Randhir(sighing): Chashmish......I am not really in the mood.....

Sanyukta(Huskily): Think wisely.....it's a "Date".....and you don't get lucky every day to date me you know......

Randhir(surprised and amused): What.....Date with you?

Sanyukta(innocently): I know its my first date.......theek hai .....I will make mistakes and I have seen in movies.....so I have some ideas .......and it's better to experiment with you na......afterall you are my friend........and I know you must have dated a lot......so you can give me tips you know.......

Randhir(smirking): Seriously Chashmish.......you think I will buy this "dating logic" of yours......I very well know what you are trying to do.......so don't bother making up excuses....you are not good at it.....and thank you for trying to lift up my mood

Sanyukta( adjusting her specs): If you know everything then will you come with me......?.....I promise you will not regret

Randhir: Chashmish I appreciate your efforts but I am seriously not in the mood

Sanyukta: Ok if you come today......I will also agree to any one thing that you want me to do.....

Randhir(thinking something): OK done......but you will have to agree to one thing of mine......promise?

Sanyukta: promise

Randhir: Ok then let's go.....

FLASHBACK ENDS

Randhir: Chashmish you remember the day when you took me out for uplifting my mood......that day you promised me that if I go with you then you will agree to one condition of mine.....so today I am asking you to fulfill that promise.....Please come to Mumbai with me....

Sanyukta: Randhir but....

Randhir: Chashmish....you promised me.....and now you can't break it

Sanyukta(sighing): Fine.....I will come to Mumbai with you.....are you happy now?

Randhir: very happy Chashmish.....you go and inform the dean.....till then I will book our tickets.....your conference is tomorrow morning right?.....so I will book a late night flight of today for us......is that Ok with you?

Sanyukta: Yeah that is fine with me but I have to book a hotel as well

Randhir: You don't worry about that Chashmish.....just go and do your packing for our rocking weekend in Mumbai.....I will pick you up at 8 PM sharp.....our flight is at 11:30 PM....so be ready....we will have our dinner at the airport only....

Sanyukta: Ok....bye now.....abhi niklungi toh packing kar paungi.....

After that Sanyukta informed the dean about her decision of attending the conference and Randhir informed his director about leaving for home for the weekend

Sanyukta's Residence, 8 PM

Randhir: Chashmish....you have kept everything right?

Sanyukta: Yes I am ready.....

Randhir: Ok.....if you don't mind can I use your washroom?

Sanyukta: Yeah sure.....till that time I will book the cab for the airport

Randhir: OK Chashmish....

After that Randhir went to her room and straight away went to the study table but he couldn't find the script which he read that day....

Randhir(in mind): Oh Fish......ab Chashmish ne script kahan rakh di.....sara plan barbad kar degi Chashmish.....where should I search for it....?

He started rummaging her study table and her book shelf but he couldn't find it.....

Sanyukta: Randhir, the cab is here.....come fast....I have to lock the house as well

Randhir: Yeah Chashmish ......just 2 minutes....

He started searching her side tables but the script wasn't there as well.....meanwhile Sanyukta who was downstairs started moving upstairs to her room

Sanyukta(in mind): What is he doing for so long in the washroom?

She was moving upstairs and Randhir was frantically searching for that script......finally he decided to check her cupboard.....

Randhir(in mind): Sorry Chashmish....I know it's wrong to check a girl's cupboard without her permission.....but I am doing it for you only....please forgive me for this....

He opened her cupboard and saw 2 drawers with the locker area......he opened the drawers and finally found the script in the second drawer....he immediately took it out and closed the cupboard when he heard footsteps coming towards the room.....

Randhir(in mind): Oh shit....I think Chashmish is coming

He immediately kept the script in his sling bag and started moving towards the door and banged with Sanyukta

Sanyukta(rubbing her forehead): ouch.....What were you doing for so long?.....cab is waiting.....come fast now varna flight miss ho jayegi

Randhir: Haan.....main toh aa hi raha tha....let's go .....come on

After that they picked their bags and kept it in the cab.....Sanyukta locked the house properly and they both sat in the cab and started leaving for airport......On the way Sanyukta called her parents and informed them that she was on the way to airport with Randhir and they wished them happy journey.....after that Sanyukta saw Randhir and observed that he was sweating a little

Sanyukta: Randhir are you OK?

Randhir: Haan mujhe kya hoga?

Sanyukta: nhi....kuch nhi....just that you are sweating and that too in Delhi ki Sardi....

Randhir: Arey,.....nothing like that....woh itni jaldi main sab hua....toh just a little tired nothing else....

Sanyukta: ohh....

Randhir(in mind): jin situations se guzarkar yeh script mili hai na Chashmish and that too at the last moment......mujhe kya kisi professional thief ko bhi pasina aa jata.....but whatever it is.....mission accomplished Chashmish.....ab toh I am just waiting for tomorrow......
