Haider and Meera collided. As soon as their eyes met, they felt lost in each other's eyes. Haider saw her and felt as if he was in the presence of the most beautiful woman in the entire world. Her big black eyes..her long black locks flying over his face.. her plump lips. They made him forget everything around him.

And Meera... Meera was just focused on those pair of brown eyes. The eyes reminded her of all the feelings she has buried deep inside her heart.

Mohhabat sabko nahi milti par tanhaiyan logon ki zindagi mein bina puche dastak de hi deti hein...

Meera ko woh aakhein utni hi tanha lagi jitni tanhaiyan uske dil mein thi.

Haider-Aap...

(Haider gets a call, he jerks back to reality, takes a moment and attends the call while walking away)

Bani-Meeraaaa! Kahan reh gayi thi?!

Meera - Woh bani..(she looks in Haider's direction)

Bani- Kya hua?

Meera - Nahi kuch nahi.. Tu chal

(After attending the call, Haider comes back and looks around for Meera)

(He says to himself- Kahan chali gayi...)

Veer-Haider!

(Haider doesn't register veer calling out his name)

Veer - Haiderrr!!

(Veer puts his hand on Haider's shoulder shaking him out of his thoughts)

Haider- Haan... Haan bol

Veer-Haider kahan khoya hua hein? Kabse bula raha hu tujhe.

Haider- Woh...

Veer-Woh..woh kya!?

Haider - Kuch nahi..tu chal.

***
A girl enters the party and is busy on her phone... Just then she bumps into an old lady waiter.

Girl-WTF!?.. Andhi ho kya!

Waiter- Ss... Sorry memsahib...par aap pho... Phone par...

(the girl cuts her mid-sentence)

Girl- Ohh toh abb sab meri galati hein. Waah! Zyada natak mat karo! Tum jaison ko acchi tarah jant hoon meini. Cheap people. Tumhe yahaan aane kisne diya!? Tumhe toh main abhi yahan se nikal vati hoon.

Waiter- Sorry memsahib... Mere beemar bete ka mere siwa mera aur koi nahi. Agar ye job chali gayi toh main apna ghar kaise chalaungi...

(Tears start rolling down the lady's eyes)

Girl- Stop this melodrama!!

(She rolls her eyes and leaves)

(The old lady is in tears as she starts picking up the glass pieces on the floor. Just then Haider enters and sees the woman crying)

(Haider approaches her)

(He tries helping her with the glass pieces she is picking up from the floor)

Old lady - Arre arre saheb, aap ye kya kar rahe hein... Hum jaison ke samne aap jaise log yun jhuk nahi sakte

(she wipes her tears)

Haider-Hum jaise? Aap toh bilkul meri maa ki tarah hein. Aur vaise bhi kisi ki madad karne se koi chota ya bada thodi hota hai. Aur mujhe pata hai..aapki madad karunga toh duayen toh mujhe bohot milengi.

(This gets a hint of a smile on the old lady's face)

Old Lady - khush raho beta! Tumhare jaise log aaj kal kaam hi milte hein. Ek tum ho aur ek...

Haider- Aur ek kon? Kisne ki aap ke sath yeh batameezi?

Old lady - Woh.. Chodo bete.. Tum bhi kya yeh sab baaten lekar baith gaye.

Haider-Nahi. Aise log seedhi tarah nahi maante...in ko thik se samjhana padta hai. Aap please bata dijiye yeh kisne kiya.

(The old lady points towards the
arrogant girl but she shifts and Haider ends up thinking it's the girl behind her... Meera.)

Well, saying that Haider was disappointed would be an understatement.

The eyes in which he was searching for compassion... The person he felt was different from all the others around him, turned out to be just like them. The people who held money above all...above the emotions and sentiments of individuals.

(He walked towards Meera)

Haider - aapko kisne hak diya?

(Meera turned looking puzzled)

Meera - Excuse me!?

(She came across those same pair of eyes she had seen a few mins ago, but she had no idea why he was shouting at her.)

Haider-Maine pucha, aapko kisne hak diya dusron ke jazzbaton ke sath iss tarah khelne ka! Woh gareeb hui toh kya hua, kam se kam apni mehnat se toh kam karti hein. Aur aap jaise log..

Meera- Aapko koi galatfami...

(Haider cuts her mid-sentence)

Haider-Aap jaise log bas apne maa-baap ke paisa udana jante hein! Aur kuch toh vaise bhi kahan hota hai aap se!

(This hit Meera. Her parents were her weak point and Haider had touched it. Her work was one of the most valuable things in her life and he had insulted that as well. She couldn't control her anger anymore)

Meera- Shut up! Just Shut up! Pehle toh, tum ho kon?! Don't tell me ye R&sons ki koi nayi cheap harkat hein. Tum samajhte kya ho apne aap ko?! Uff, mein bhi kya sawal kar rahi hu. Tum zaroor unke koi khareede hue naukar hoge. Tum jaise log paison ke liye khud ko kitna gira sakte hai yeh mujhe acchi tarah se pata hein.

(Haider confused)

Haider-Aur...aur tumne jo unn aunty ke saath kiya woh?!

Meera - Kon?

Haider- Ohh, toh tumhe batmeez hone ke sath sath bhulne ki beemari bhi hein.

Meera-Dekho, isse pehele ki mein tumhe iss party se nikalwa doon... Mere samne se hatt jao.

Haider-Tumm...

(Veer enters)

Veer-Haiderr.. Kahaan chala gaya tha tu?

(Meera gets irritated and leaves)

Haider- ye ladki...

Veer - kon ladki?

(Haider turns to show veer but sees that she had left. He turns back)

Haider - Wohi batmeez ladki. I just hate people like her. I hope ye dobara kabhi mere saamne na aaye.

(Meanwhile, Meera finds bani)

Bani- Kya hua? Tu itne gusse mein kyu hein?

Meera- Kuch nahi yaar, ek pagal mil gaya tha... Just hope kar ki voh kabhi dobara mere samne na aaye.

Bani -Accha accha, tu shaant hoja.

(The same old lady greets Meera and serves her the drink. Meera notices a cut on the lady's hand)

Meera- Arre, ye aapke hath pe kya hua?

(The old lady looks shocked. She could not believe that Meera was speaking to her)

Dadi-Madam kuch nahi ye toh bas yunhi..

Meera-Chot kafi gehri hein. Aap first aid karwa lijiye.

(Meera calls her driver)

Meera-Omprakash, car se jaldi first aid kit le ke aao.

Old lady- Madam aapko ye sab karne ki koi zarurat nahi hai. Mein thik hoon.
Meera- Aap pehele toh mujhe madam bulana band kijiye. Main aapki beti jaisi hoon. Aur aap yeh batiye ki iss haal mein aapko ye sab kaam karne ki kya zarurat hein.

Old lady - Kya karun beta. Ek hi beta hai jo bohot beemar hai. Meri bahu aur uska beta toh accident mein chal base. Isley paise kamane ke liye kuch toh karna padega na...

(The driver hands Meera the bandages and she starts attending to the lady's hand)(Then she hands her some money)

Meera- Ye lijiye kuch paise aapke liye.. Aapki thodi madad karenge.

Old lady - Nahi nahi beta, mein ye paise kaise...

Meera- Chinta mat kariye... ye aapke liye advance.. Agar aap chahe toh aaj se aap mere ghar ki caretaker ban sakti hein.
Aur aapne bete ke illaj ke khacrche ki bhi chinta mat kariye. Voh bhi mein dekh loongi.

Old lady - Thank you beta... Mein bata nahi sakti tumne meri kitni madad ki hein. Tumhara yeh ahesaan mein kabhi nahi bhool sakti.

Meera-Arre aap abb rona band kijiye. Apni maa par bhala koi beti ahesaan kar sakti hai. Yeh sab chodiye aur mujhe apna naam bataiye.

Old lady -Manorama

Meera- Omprakash, Vimla se keh ke Manoramaji aur unke bete ke rehene ki arrangements karwaiye. Aur Dr. Dutt se boliye ki mere ek close relative ke liye jaldi se ek nurse ghar pe bheje.

Bani spots Veer at the party and tries to avoid him.

(Veer notices here anyway and walks up to her)

Veer-Sweetheart!

Bani - Tum phir aa gaye.

Veer- Jab banda samne khada hein toh uske sapne kyun dekh rahi hein aap?

Bani-Tumhari bakwas phir shuru hogayi. Tumhe samajh nahi aata kya!? Na mai tumhare koi sapne dekh rahi thi aur na hi mujhe tumhari shakal dekhne mein koi interest. Tumhare sapne tumhe mubarak.

(A photographer walks up to them)

Photographer - Sir Maam aap dono ki ek picture pls?

Veer- Haan haan kyun nahi!

(Bani glares at veer)

Veer- Picture ke liye log smile karte hein you know?

Bani- Ohh yeh toh badi nayi cheez batai.

Veer-Isiliye toh tum mujhe tabse ghoorti ja rahi ho. Haina?

Bani- You mean gusse se. Aur bata doon, log hasa tab karte hein jab picture dhangke logon ke saath li jaaye. Tum jaise...

Veer- Handsome bande ko dekh ke toh dil hi tham jata hein... pata hai.

Bani- Koi itna self obsessed kaise ho sakta hein!

Veer- Aur koi gusse mein bhi itna sundar kaise lag sakta hein...

(Bani looks at veer)

Photographer- Sir mam you guys look like a perfect match.

Veer- Oh ho! Thank you Mr photographer!

Bani- Aap ko aur kisi ki photo nahi keechni kya? Ya poori album meiin hamari hi photo daalenge!

(Photographer leaves)

(Bani rolls her eyes and starts typing on her phone)

Veer- Ye tum kya kar rahi ho?

Bani - Flaws of Mr. Veer Singhania ki list mein aur ek cheez add kar rahi hu. Aur haan, Mr. Singhania ko yeh bhi message kar rahi hoon ki unka beta kitna kaabil hai.

(Bani's voice filled with sarcasm)

(Bani walks away)

(Veer smiles- Kya ho tum Bani Sharma... Aaj apni hi insult sunke gussa hone ke bajay main muskura raha hu...)

***

(Bani's father, being a good friend of Mr. Singh, is also at the party. He steps up on the stage and gathers everyone's attention by clinking his glass)

Mr. Rakesh Sharma (Bani's father) -

Excuse me, guys! Your attention, please. For those of you who do not know me, I'm Rakesh Sharma, a very dear friend of Mr. Singh. I have an announcement to make. Firstly, I would like to congratulate Mr. Singh on his son's marriage. Secondly, I would like to announce my daughter Bani's marriage with...

(Bani was shocked. She had no clue about this. Meera was equally tensed because seeing bani's reaction, it was quite evident she had no clue about it. But, there was another person who was fuming with anger and jealousy. Veer. Haider, for the first time, saw his friend so infuriated)

Mr. Rakesh Sharma- With her high school sweetheart... Her best friend... Mr. Shivaay Singh Oberoi.
