It was very dark outside but they can see that they're in some kind of Palace courtyard or something... It was looking quite scary with lots of shadows around as the lights are off outside....
Huda (still looking here and there) : sir Ji ye kaisi jagah hai.... Ye to koi purana qila ya mehel type lag raha hai...
RV (proceeding towards Gate) : you're absolutely right Capt huda..
Huda (scared now) : Sir ji Maine suna hai aise purane mehlon mein bhoot hote hain...
Ali (looking incredulous) : huda bhai aisa kuch nahi hai.. Aap bhi na...
But pooja and yudi also gets scared listening to huda..and Aalekh and Naina just rolls their eyes.. Shalini huffed listening to this...
Shalini : Capt huda you are too much...
Huda : sach mein madam Ji... Maine aisa suna hai...
RV (shaking his head) : just shut up Capt huda... Ye hamara ghar hai yahan koi bhoot nahi hai..
Huda was about to say something again...
RV : not a word Capt huda... Just keep quiet and follow me..
Huda does as he says and others snickered looking at him... When they reaches the gates RV knocks the door as bell is not working...after few minutes an old men opens the door with Torch in hand... When he sees RV he says
Old men : padhariye hukum...
RV (with smile) : kaise hain aap kaka...aur ye lights kyun off hain yahan ki aur humne kitni baar kaha hai ki hum hukum nahi hain kaka...
Yudi (whispering to his friends) : what is hukum???
But no-one answers him...
Kaka (to RV) : ji vo transformer mein kuch problem Ho gayi hai pure area mein light nahi hai.... Kal subah tak sab thik ho jayega...
Rv (entering inside) : generator kyun nahi chalaya???
Kaka : ji usme bhi kuch problem ho gayi hai... Par engineer ko bula liya hai... Unhone kaha hai ke ek ya do ghanton mein thik ho jayega... Par Tab tak ke liye invertor se kuch lights on kar di hain humne....
RV (nods his head) : ji.. (then turning towards his team) guys come inside...I'll show you around....
As they enters the gate super six felt some kind of positivity around them... And Naina.. her heart starts beating faster... She doesn't have any idea why she's feeling like someone close to her heart is nearby...she's feeling some kind of peace not restless as she was feeling during the journey... She's feeling like she's reached her destination... Usey asia lag raha tha ke usey uski manzil mil gayi hai...achanak Vo apne chaaron taraf dekhti hai, usey lagta hai ke koi usey dekh raha hai... Par usey koi nazar nahi aata... Kyuki lights bohot hi dim thi... Aalekh looks at her quizzically and puts his hand on her shoulder and ask if she's alright???
Naina (assuring him) : main thik hu Aalekh ,bas aisa laga ke koi mujhe dekh raha hai... Chal chlte hain, RV sir bula rahe hain...
As they were about to move huda hears someone laughing... Only he can hear the laugh as he was still standing at the door but others were inside and at little distance from him.. After listening to some one laugh huda starts screaming bhoot bhoot and runs inside...
Shalini (little frightened) : Capt huda kya hua aapko... Aap thik to hain... Why are you screaming???
Huda (with scared look) : vo.. Vo...maine abhi kisi ki hansne ki aawaz suni...
Shalini( rolling her eyes) : aisa kuch nahi hai Capt huda... Aapke kaan baj rahe hai...
Huda (still scared) : nahi madam ji... Maine khud apne kaano se suna...
Ali : huda bhai aisa sach mein kuch nahi hai... Aap ek kaam kariye aap hamare Saath rahiye..
Looking at scared huda all barely controlled their laughter...
RV (loudly) : guys let's move from here...
And he moves towards a corridor leading them to other wing....
RV : guys that was the old part of palace and back gate,it still have to be renovated... But we'll be staying in other wing which I have renovated for my use and you all will be fine there... You all can have separate rooms but if you want you can share... And I think Capt huda would like to share his room... (he says hiding his smile)...
They reaches a circular hall and the roof of the hall is doom shaped... Just as they reaches the center of the hall the hall gets enlightened.. And everyone looked around in awe except gunny and shivanya...
Shivanya : lagta hai generator thik ho gaya...
RV : hmm...
As everyone looks around they sees a huge nataraj statue... And infront of that statue on the small table was a pair of ghungrus...
Naina moves towards the statue...vo nataraj ki murti ko pranam karti hai aur un ghungruon ko apne haath mein uthati hai... Aaj kafi saalon baad Naina ne ghungruon ko chua tha... Naveen ke jaane ke baad to usne Dance karna hi chord diya tha... Aur saara gussa apne andar kaid kar liya tha...Dance Naina ke liye ek diversion strategy thi taki vo apna gussa kisi constructive cheez mein use kar sake... Aur aisa hua bhi, kyuki Naveen ki gudiya ki naak par to hamesha gussa rehta tha,isliye vo apna zada tar waqt apne riyaas mein deti thi... Usne classical dance 6 saal ki umar se seekha tha aur kayi prices bhi jeete the zonal aur state level par... Aaj ye ghungru apne saamne dekh kar Naina ka Mann fir se kar raha tha ke vo pehne inhe aur naache, kyunki uske Mann mein bohot si baatein thi jo vo share karna chahti thi par jisse vo ye sab Kehti vo hi nahi hai uske paas...... Isliye vo apna Mann halka karna chahti thi...
RV ( from behind her) : ye hamari maa saa ke hain... Vo riyaas kiya karti theen yahan par... Par unke jaane ke baad bas yuhi isi jagah rakhe rehte hain... If you want you can take them...
Naina puts them down at their place and says
Naina : ye aapki maa ke hain, main inhe kaise le sakti hu... Main to bas yuhin dekh rahi thi...
To which RV nods and turns towards others...
RV : guys this is the center of the palace you could say... If you ever get lost aap is jagah zaroor pohoch jaayenge... Har corridor iss hall se connected hai...
(Imagine it all empty with a nataraj statue)
RV (moving on) : let's go guys...I'll show you all to your rooms and rest in the morning... For now rest all of you... Choti, Gunny you know your room so you go to your rooms and go take some rest...
As they moves forward super six and shalini gets mesmerized by their surroundings... RV shows them their rooms.. Yudi, huda and shalini,pooja choose to share rooms and Naina, aalekh and Ali choose to stay seperatly.... All goes to their rooms to freshen up and get some rest...
Somewhere inside that palace
A person is sleeping inside a beautiful room.. But many wires are attached to his body... Two people are there with him inside the room...
Bedroom
Bed
(readers bed ke canopy curtains ka colour apne aap contrast mein imagine kar lena)
Normally the machines attached to the person shows nothing new... They shows Same readings but today the readings are showing fluctuations.. His heartbeats are faster today.. Both the person with the patient are shocked to see this...they are happy to see some improvements... Just then RV enters with shivanya... They both moves towards the patient... Shivanya checks him and says that he's improving.... Rv feels better listening to this... RV sits beside the patient and takes his hand in his...
Rv( with teary eyes) : Naina is here.... Don't you want to meet her after so many years... Please wake up... She needs you...
The patient's heart beats again fluctuates after listening Naina's name and a single tear falls from RV's eyes....
Then after sometime he feels a hand on his shoulder, RV suddenly turns and hug that person and says while crying....
RV : when will he wake up.. I can't see him like this... I can't.....
That person( breaking the hug) : RV sambhaal khud ko... Naina ko bhi tujhe hi sambhalna hai... Bas kuch aur din... He'll be fine... You go and rest... You must be tired... Go.. I'm here with him..
Rv(denying): I want to be here with him... I don't want to go...
Chaubey : Sir Ji aap jaaiye aur aaram kijiye... Hum dono hain yahan...
RV then noticed that Chaubey too is present in the room but he have no idea how come he's here???
RV (shocked ) : what are you doing here...
Chaubey : Sir Ji Main to inse (pointing at the other person) milne aaya tha aur yahan aake to mujhe surprise hi mil gaya...
RV : chaubey you have to be stay hidden.. You can't come in front of anyone...not now at least...
Chaubey : koi baat nahi Sir Ji... Main sir Ji ke saath yahan rukta hun... Aap jaakar rest kariye...
Shivanya (hugging RV sideways) : they both re right bhai saa... You need rest... Aur vaise bhi kal aapko Capt Rajveer ke cadets ko face karna hai....
RV agrees and goes to his room.... Both person in patient's room are talking to each other...
Chaubey : sir Ji bohot pyaar karte hain na inse....
Other person : bohot...itne saalon baad jo vapas mila hai...
Chaubey (changing the topic) : vaise Sir ji aapne dekha tha Capt huda ko... Bechara kaise darr gaya tha...
Other person (laughing) : haan... Par agli baar dhyan rakhna hoga... Aaj to baal Baal bache hain Naina se...jab tak RV sabko sach nahin bata deta hamara yahin chupa rehna hi accha hoga.....
But they didn't know that Aalekh is already suspicious...he has seen RV leaving the room teary eyes...Aalekh ka shak gehra hote jaa raha tha ke RV ka Capt Rajveer se kuch to lena Dena hai.... Vaise to usne background check kiya tha aur usme bhi usey vahi pata chala jo RV ne bataya tha... Par ek army officer jiske pas ache contacts ho vo easily aisa fake background create kar sakta hai... Usey samajh nahi aaraha tha ke kya RV hi Rajveer hai aur agar haan to vo sabko sach kyun nahi batate?? Aur agar nahin to phir ye Rajveer se kaise related hain... Vo itna to jaanta tha ke shivi RV aur Rajveer dono ko jaanti hai.. Aur shivi ne hi Rajveer ko bulaya tha Naina se milne hospital mein... Kyuki Aalekh ne parking ki footage mein shivi ko kisi ko hug karte dekha tha jisne vahi hoodie pehni thi jo Rajveer ne pehni thi jab vo Naina se milne aaye the...Aur vahi same hoodie RV ko bhi pehene dekha tha usne academy mein... Vo jaanta tha ke agar uske Capt sir saamne nahin aarahe hain to zaroor koi bohot hi bada reason hai varna vo apni Naina ko yu akela nahi chordte....
With these thoughts he moves towards his room to get some rest...
After an hour
Naina is not feeling sleepy at all so she thinks to go and have a look around the palace.. She can't go outside as its still dark out side because of no electricity but still she can look around inside the Palace..... So she moves out of her room... After sometime as she was crossing a door suddenly her heartbeat increases....she's feeling like she's close to someone special... She tries to open the door but the door is locked... She makes a mental note to ask RV in morning about this room..
She moves forward and reaches the hall again...after looking at the nataraj statue she again feels a strong desire to wear those ghungrus and dance... After sometime she moves towards her room with determination on her face... Usne decide kar liya tha ke vo aaj apne mann ko halka karne ke liye ek baar fir dance karegi... Apne dimag ko shaant karne ke liye vo aaj itne saalon baad in ghungruon ko pehnegi.... She goes to her room and changes into other dress and again moves towards the hall...
RV 's room
He has just come out of his bathroom... He was getting back to his own self...last one hour he has spend shaving and trimming his hairs and now he's feeling like himself but he's still arranged for fake beard and wig so that he could still keep this facade for one or two days more....
But suddenly he hears something and rushes out towards the noise forgetting that he's not in get up... And moreover he's not wearing his lenses because he has lost his one lens...
Huda and yudi's room
Huda is trying to sleep but then he hears some sound and suddenly sit-up straight looking here and there with scared expressions...
Huda (murmuring to himself) : mummy ji ye kaisa ghar hai sir ji ka pehle hasne ki awaazein aari thi aur ab ghungruon ki aawaz aari hai.... Mummy Ji bacha Lo please....
And he starts chanting hanuman chalisa....
Huda : Jai hanuman gyan gun sagar,
Jai kapis tihu lok ujagar...
Jai hanuman gyan gun sagar,
Jai kapis tihu lok ujagar...
Jai hanuman...... Arre aage kya tha mummy Ji.... Dar ke maare kuch yaad hi nahi aara... Sahi kaha tha mummy ji ne bachpan mein ki seekh le kam se kam ye to lekin main to zada Sher banta tha jo chaar hi line yaad Ki unme se bhi do to yaad hi nahi aarahi darr ke maare.. Aur ye yudi ghodey gadhey sab bech ke so raha hai...
Then he tries to wake yudi......
Huda : yudie... (no reply), oye yudie (still no reply)
Then huda kicked him hard on his butt that he fell from bed and wakes up...
Yudi (yawing and rubbing his eyes) : huda... What's your problem man..... I'm trying to get some sleep here...
Huda (irritated) : abe tujhe teri neend ki padi hai... Dhyan se Sun kaisi aawazein aari hai.... Itni raat mein ghungru ki aawaz aari hai yaar..
Yudi also gets shocked listening to the ghungru's sound... But still they both decides to investigate the sound...
Shalini, pooja, Ali, Aalekh, shivanya, gunny also goes towards the hall to investigate the source of the sounds...
Apart from all of them someone too goes to look but still keeping him away from everyone's sight leaving chaubey with the patient...
Everyone of them reaches the hall and looks at each other then at the source of the sounds...vo sab upar balcony mein khade the jo ki us hall ke upar thi...
Jab vo jhank ke niche dekhte hain to unhe Naina dikhayi deti hai jisne ghungroo pehne huye hain aur vo nataraj ki murti ko namaskar kar rahi thi... Ali, yudi, Huda, pooja aur shalini ye dekh kar shock Ho jaate hain except Aalekh.. he just stand there looking at her and observing her movements as Naina has already told him about her dancing and today he's for the first time watching her doing these steps and he can easily see that she's trained in this very well but right now there's something about her like she's expressing herself....
Pooja (asking no-one in particular) : oye ye Naina kya kar rahi hai ghungroo pehen kar...
Shalini : pooja vo namaskar kar rahi hai jo ki classical dance start karne se pehle kia jata hai... But how does Naina know???
Aalekh (still looking at Naina) : vo trained kathak dancer hai State level ki....vo nationals mein part lene vali thi par Tab Naveen Bhaiya ki Death ho gayi.. Aur isne Dance karna chord dia tha..
Huda : oye tujhe ye kaise pata??
Aalekh (moving down stairs towards naina) : ek baar maa ne bataya tha aur phir Naina ne khud hi bataya tha...
They all too goes down stairs but they all stands at the periphery of hall... RV is also there but he has his back towards the others, they can't see his face... Someone is also watching her from the balcony and super six can't see him too....
Naina on the other hands starts singing and dancing too...
(credit for this video goes to its makers and YouTube... I'm just sharing it's link because I like it very much)
(before reading further watch this video and imagine Naina doing these steps)
(I know Rajveer aur Naina par exactly suit nahi karta but still isse better mujhe mila nahi koi aur song...)
Naina starts singing with unshed tears in her eyes... And everyone else too gets teary after listening to her...
Di nahi dua bhale
Na di kabhi baddua
Na khafa huye na hum
Huye kabhi bewafa
Tum magar bewafa ho gaye
Kyun khafa ho gaye
Ke tumse juda hoke hum
Tabaah ho gaye
Tabaah ho gaye!
Tabaah ho gaye!
Tabaah ho gaye!
By now tears are flowing from her eyes...
Phir akhiyan mein preet ki teri
Reet jaga jaana
Mohey chhod ke jaane ki khatir
Hi laut ke aa jana
Phir akhiyan mein preet ki teri
Reet jaga jaana
Mohey chhod ke jaane ki khatir
Hi laut ke aa jana
Haan ghair ke humnawa ho gaye
Kyun khafa ho gaye
Ki tumse juda hoke hum
Tabaah ho gaye...
Tabah ho gaye!
Tabah ho gaye!
Tabah ho gaye!
(the video I've shared above is till the above stanza.. So further you have to imagine her dancing)
Haan sajde mein humne maanga tha
Umar bhi humari lag jaaye tumko
Khud se hi tauba karte the
Nazar na humari lag jaaye tumko
Haan sajde mein humne maanga tha
Umar bhi humari lag jaaye tumko
Khud se hi tauba karte the
Nazar na humari lag jaaye tumko
By now she's crying very badly and it's getting difficult to sing the lyrics..
And rest of them are also crying looking at her condition... RV too have tears flowing from his eyes... There's someone else too who's crying and hiding from others..
Hum magar...
Hum magar nagawara tumhe kis tarah ho gaye
Ki tumse juda hoke hum tabaah ho gaye
Tabah ho gaye!
Tabah ho gaye!
Tabah ho gaye!
After the lyrics ends Naina fell down on the floor crying very badly... Her tears are not stopping.... Pooja and shalini steps forward to go to her but Aalekh stops them as he knows it's important for her to release her pent up emotions.... She cried continuously for fifteen minutes and then shouts loudly...everyone present in the palace where ever he or she is can hear Naina's shout as the hall was at the center of the palace so what ever going in hall can be heard in whole Palace and thats why everyone heard ghungru's sound...
Naina(crying very badly) : Rajveer Sir.... Why??? why did you leave me alone?? Why??? Please come back....please...I can't be brave anymore..I'm breaking apart.... And after saying all this she fainted and was about to hit her head on the floor but RV catches her...
Before Aalekh could reach her, RV picks her up in his arms... But he still has his back towards them...
When he turns towards others they gets the shock of their life..... As they are looking at Rajveer who have tears flowing from his eyes with Naina in his arms....
RV feels strange that all of them are looking at him like they are seeing some miracle or something but he doesn't have any idea that for them it is a miracle that finally there Rajveer Sir is back...
He moves hurriedly towards Naina's room.. He puts her on bed very carefully and removes ghungrus from her feet and covers her with blankets upto her neck and lovingly caresses her head...and then turns towards others and says to shivanya... Please check if she's alright... Vo behosh ho gayi hai..
Shivanya (after checking naina) : she's alright bhai saa just exhausted....kal subah tak theek ho jaayengi... Par aap...
Before she could continue huda interrupts them..
Huda(feeling hurt) : Sir ji... Aapne hamein bataya kyu nahi....
Rv(confused): kya nahi bataya?? Aur Why are you all looking at me like this.??
Gunny (signaling him to look in the mirror) : RV.. it's time...
Just as RV looks at himself in the mirror.. He understands exactly that they are looking at their RAJVEER SIR...
Aalekh (steps forward and ask him) : aap sach abhi bataengey hum sabko ya phir kal jab Naina aapse puchegi tab....
RV (turns around to face them and takes a deep breath and says) : abhi,par yahan nahi.... Let Naina rest... Follow me.. I'll tell you everything today....
And he takes them to that closed room... Just as he enters inside chaubey approached him...
Chaubey (happily) : sir Ji abhi Jab Naina ne shout kiya tha to inhone apna hand move kiya.. Sir Ji... Vo Coma se bahar aarahe hain....
But chaubey stops saying anything further seeing rest of them there... As everyone enters the room they starts looking here and there as it's the most luxurious room they've seen in the palace... They could see someone is sleeping on the bed but they can't see his face as the curtains around the bed are blocking their view...
Suddenly they hears a voice and then someone came out of bathroom and again gets a shock...as before them standing is none other than LATE CAPTAIN NAVEEN SINGH AHLUWALIA who was supposed to be dead all those years ago..
Aalekh (whispers) : Naveen Bhaiya...
