[Night 12:30am]

[Jahaan got out of the bathroom after taking a shower. He changes to his casual t-shirt and pants.]

[Meanwhile, Sundar brought a glass and 2 bottles of beer with ice cubes. He kept the tray on the table.]

[Jahaan poured the beer into the glass and finished the whole bottle within a minute. It looked like he was just disobeying the promise and he became very much an alcoholic.]

[He picked up the phone and was going to call Jannat. But....]

Person: Jahaannn...

Jahaan: Who!! Who's there?

Person: Don't you know me?

[Jahaan heard a furious laughter.]

Jahaan: Who's is laughing? Who are you?? (Looking at the surroundings.)

Person: I am youuuu.... Don't you know me!!

[Jahaan was shocked to see that he was standing in front of his own. Yes, he is hallucinating again. But now this Jahaan is dressed in black shirt, black waistcoat, black pants, black shoe, and a steel watch with his styled gel hair.]

Jahaan: You!!! Again you!!! Why did you come here to disturb me?? Just get out. Just get out of my life.

Jahaan's Hallucination: I just come to warn you. Warn you for the last time.

Jahaan: Warn from what?? I don't want to hear from you anything.

Jahaan's Hallucination: You've to listen. You've to listen to me(screaming).

[Jahaan was silent as if he was possessed.]

Jahaan's Hallucination: Jahaan, (in a very disturbing face) you're changing. Why are you changing? Is that the girl make any magic to you. Don't be the easiest person. Don't you remember how was you suffered?

Jahaan: (very silently) What are you trying to say?

Jahaan's Hallucination: That cheap girl, that girl wants to control you. At first she slapped you and then today she came to your office without any appointment. While hundreds are waiting for a short appointment notice, she doesn't need any permission. How can she do this? Because you told her. Why Jahaan why? Do you want to become cheap and easy like her?

[On the other hand, Jannat was waiting for Jahaan's call.]

Jannat: Riya, Hey Riyaaaa....

Riya: Ummm?? Whatt Jan? Don't disturb me. I'm very sleepy.

Jannat: Why didn't he called me yet. Did he slept?

Riya: Ummm...

Jannat: Riyaaaaaaa... Oh.. Should I call him once. Maybe he is waiting for my call (murmuring).

[At Jahaan's room.]
[Jahaan's phone started vibrating on his hand. He looked at the screen. It was Jannat. But he cut the call.]

--"The person are you calling is currently busy. Please try again later."--

[Jannat wondered as the call was cut.]

Jannat: (murmuring) Maybe he's busy in some work. No problem tomorrow I will definitely tell him what is going on in my mind.

[She started singing one of his favorite songs and dedicated that to his prince.]

Jannat:

जब तक है ज़मीं
जब तक है आसमाँ
तुम मेरे ही रहो
बस इतना ही अरमां

तुझे बांध लू मैं आंचल में
जैसे चांद रहे बादल में
हम जचते हैं ऐसे जैसे
सजे नैन काजल में

महबूबा मैं तेरी महबूबा
महबूबा मैं तेरी महबूबा
महबूबा मैं तेरी महबूबा
महबूबामैं तेरी महबूबा

('Mehabooba', KGF: Chapter 2)

--"As long as there is land
As long as there is sky
You remain mine
Just this desire

I will tie you in my lap
Like the moon in the clouds
We look like this
Eyes adored with lines.

Beloved I am your beloved
Beloved I am your beloved
Beloved I am your beloved
Beloved oh I am your
Beloved..."--

[At Jahaan's room.]

Jahaan's Hallucination: She forbade you to do whatever you like. Like these luxuries and all (pointing towards the beer bottles). You don't go anywhere without any reason but you go to that college for that cheap girl.

Jahaan: But I.... Just...

Jahaan's Hallucination: Oh just shut up man (screamed with anger). Just behave yourself. Don't forget who you are? You don't need any girl in your life. Looked at your fame, and wealth. Isn't it enough for you?

Jahaan: Yes.. Yes.. You're right (in a state of possessed). I don't need anyone in my life. I am perfect. I'm enough for me.

[Suddenly he looked around him and there is no one. He went in front of the mirror and looked at himself.]

Jahaan: (In a mysterious voice) Jahaan doesn't need anyone.
