(Shayan enters the Oberoi mansion, maids come looking at him entering the house worried.!!!!)

Maid: Shanaya ma'am is in Adi sir's room.!

(He just nodded and ran towards his room...... As soon as he entered he could see the whole group was in the room except the elders.... Aditya was sitting next to Shanaya who was laying on the bed with eyes closed..... Looking at Shanaya he dashed towards her.....)

Shayan: What happened.?

(Everyone's attention went towards him as he is now sitting on the other side of Shanaya on the bed holding her hand.... He was on verge of crying.....)

Aditya: She just fainted.!! It seemed like she was having bad headache as soon as she came here.....

Shayan: *sigh* What did doctors say.?? (He is still looking at Shanaya)

Aarush: Oh please..... Stop pretending that you care.!! It's all happening cz of you...... What you did to her on that unfortunate day..... you bloody.....(cut off by Shayan)

Shayan: I don't give a shit about what you think about me but don't you dare question my care and concern for my sister.!!!

Aditya: Dada please..... not now...

Aarush: What not now....! I told you how he is..... why don't you just u understand..... he cannot be trusted..... (Shayan now gave a deadly glare at Aarush and let out a deep sigh as he didn't wanted to loose his cool when Shanaya is in this state......)

Shayan: I am asking again.... What did the doctor say.?

Aditya: He said it seems like she is getting the flashes of her past memory more frequently as she is coming in close contact with us and reliving the moments that we're close to her.... That is stimulating her brain to work hard on getting her memory back to get her answers that she is been looking for...

Shayan: She is okay right.??? When will she gain back consciousness.?

Aditya: We just wait.!! That's what they said.....

(Shayan just nodded and caressed her hair.....)

Shayan: Please be safe di.... I can't loose you.!!! (Saying this he just looked down as if controlling his emotions.... Aditya just put his hand on his shoulder as if assuring him that everything will be okay......)

Aditya: You wanna talk.??

(Shayan just sighed and nodded his head.....)

Aditya: Guys you stay here.... I and Shayan will go to talk alone....

Aarush: I am coming with you... I don't trust this guy....

Aditya: But I do dada...! Please.... This time.... It will be just me and him..... lemme do this on my own..... be with Shan.!!

(They both left the room and Aditya took him to the rooftop....! As soon as they reached there Shayan said.....)

Shayan: *sigh* This brings back memories.!!

Aditya: Here you got me out of my shell...... Now today here I want you to get out of your shell..... Shayan..... I know we are not in good terms.!! But I can't bring myself to hate you.!! I don't know why but your care and love for Shan seems so genuine for me that my hate seems so less in front of that......

Shayan: Why are you telling this to me...

Aditya: I just wanted to break the ice between us and wanted to show that I am not going to judge you here.... I am all ears..... Please tell me what's going on.! What is wrong with you..... Why you told me that I don't know the whole thing what happened that day....? Where is oldie.? Why you did such things with your own sister.???(cut off by Shayan)

Shayan: I didn't do anything with di.... I can't do anything with her...... She is my lifeline.! How can I even imagine to her hurt..!???

Aditya: What.? But we all saw what you did.....

(Shayan just chuckled sadly looking down.....)

Shayan: You all just saw..... but did you all observed.???

Aditya: Wait..... This is Shan's dialogue....

Shayan: Still you guys failed to use it..... *sigh* Fine.!! What you wanna know.?? Where should I start....?

Aditya: Everything..... I need to know from the beginning.....
I am a good listener Shayan.!! Please...
I wanna know everything .....
Where is your mother.??

Shayan: Dead.... (He said with a bit cracked voice..)

Aditya: Oh.! I am so sorry.! I didn't know...

Shayan: Nobody knows.!! Cz THAT MAN IS TOO SMART TO HIDE EVERY FUCKING THING......

Aditya: That man.??? Who.??
Noo..... Don't tell me......

Shayan: Yup.! That old man.!! He killed my mother..... (he said turning the other side to hide his tears)

(Aditya was taken aback with this newly found information, he just put his hand on Shayan's shoulder..)

Aditya: Are you sure that oldie did that?

Shayan: (he let out a sad chuckle) Hard to believe right.??? How can Mr. Goodie shoes and friendly "Oldie" do that.???
But lemme tell you....
I don't think I could mistake him with someone else when he killed my mom in front of me....

Aditya: What?

Shayan: Mr. Shekhawat thought that the intelligence and sharpness that I have gained over the time along with mind control was because of my mother's encouragement.... He believed that I turned into a Psychopath because of her..... So he started killing her... Little by little.... He started to give her slow poison.... I didn't figured out about this up until my mom's last day as all three of were there.... He send me to the attached gym of my room as all three of us were in my room... They were again having a heated argument regarding something.... That's when I heard Di's name from him as my mom started to struggle to breathe... She was struggling on the ground... Begging him to help her... He locked my door from outside so even if I wanted to I couldn't break those damn door... He mentioned that he kept you away from us... away from mom cz he knew my mom will turn di into a psychopath too... She kept on begging to atleast show her a picture of di.... Even in her last breathe she was begging for di's one glance... But that monster.... He just sat there.... He just sat there watching her die by torturing her... not only physically but mentally too....
How can he blame my mom for who I am.!!! I loved human psychology... So I mastered in that.... Intelligence runs in our family... but he had to blame my mother and just wanted an excuse to kill her.....

I saw all this in front of me Aditya... Everything... He was unaffected... He then just dragged my mom's lifeless body from there.... He didn't even let me touch my mom for the last time..... I kept yelling and banging the door.. But he didn't open it.... He came back later and filled the gym with some gas which made me unconscious...

When I opened my eyes.... I was in the middle of ocean..... I didn't know when he built that high profiled asylum... Guarded by numerous commandos.. He kept me in a room... I just had access to necessary needs... No electronic devices... No connection to outside world... He then came to meet me every birthday and will give me a present.! He will call me to ask what I wanted for birthday a week before his visit and will bring me that.....
I hated my life..... I was too young to think about anything..... But then..... I decided....
If he thinks that I m the psychopath here.... Then I will behave like one.... I started to use my mind control techniques on guards and started to get information regarding the place.... I started to use the technology over there...... I made that asylum my place...... my den..... it was my den... where I was the king....  where everyone worked for me.... That old man thought his guards were keeping a watch on me....!
But he was in delusional world of mine.... Whenever he used to visit me during my birthday... all guards acted as if normal.. As if nothing happened... Cz I was controlling them.....

I came to know that Mr. Shekhawat is playing with di as well.... She doesn't know about my existence.!!! She was been said that she lost us in car accident.!! Then she figured out by the rhyme that I was drowned.!!! What a lie.!!!!
Yes! I did fell in the lake but my mom saved me.... But after that incident Mr. Shekhawat moved us somewhere else leaving di here..... we both were too young to remember any of this.!!!!

The fact that I came to know that I had a sister this later in my life was itself so shocking for me..... the day when I came to know that I have a sister..... I lost my mother.... What a luck.!!!!!

Then I came to know about Virat...... I came to know his intentions for di..... I can't let that happen..... there is no way.... But I had to know what is he up to and why is he doing it..?? So I asked to meet him just for 15 minutes as my birthday present from Mr. Shekhawat and to my surprise he agreed.!!!
Now which caring father will let his daughter's enemy to meet a psychopath which he thought I was....
He let me meet him.!!!
15 minutes were more than enough for me to control his mind..... I exactly knew when to use the trigger point.... I made him wear the lens that had camera in it.!! Also made sure he always wears a earpiece.... That helped me.....

Everything was going fine but then I felt like a criminal who is hiding from everyone for no reason.!!!! So when di disappeared I came in front of you all..... Mr. Shekhawat was completely unaware that I can come out of his highly secure asylum so when he met me by the entrance of Oberoi mansion.... he freaked out.... And the reaction that he gave in front of you and Gari di was not fake one.... But then I saw you and every member of the family... I knew di is not dead..... I couldn't just sit around and do nothing..... hence I encouraged you guys....and start living life like before....

Then again he went to Kashmir.! I knew di was extremely close to Dida and Dadu.!! I couldn't do much there as their life was at risk..... I somehow managed to do some mind control on my father and made him wear the lens with camera and the earpiece but after your swap incident he figured out that I know the truth.! I know the whole story and I am swapping you cz i am planning on meeting di and show her the real face of Mr. Shekhawat.! But I didn't expect him to be there when Di came to rescue you...... I just wanted to keep di with me so I lit up the fire.... I knew no matter what misunderstanding we had between us....she is my sister.... She will save me... and she did..... but before she or I could do anything..... Mr. Shekhawat knocked her down with the fire extinguisher.!!! I was shocked.... Due to flames you didn't see him but thought I did that to her..... he asked me to act that I did that and show that I am liking it as he pointed his gun to now fainted di......

I......... I got scared...... I knew he could do anything...... he is the real psychopath here.... The person who can kill his wife who was the mother of his children can do the same thing and can kill his child too.!! I was not willing to lose my di whom I got after so many years..... so I did what he said for that moment and you believed that hence making me villain in front of you.... The moment Aarush pulled you up my men got a hold of him and I left from there with di.....

I took her away from all this..... I made sure there were no traces of me or di and our whereabouts.!! After the treatment of di.... Doctors told me she lost her memory... She doesn't remember anything.!!! She even forgot she is a bodyguard.!!! I tried but couldn't do much to help her brain simulate the memory.... Then I thought may be meeting you guys could help....
But it was risky..... I had to be with Mr. Shekhawat in order to be here... So along with my men disguised as my servants came here and acted as if not only her but even I lost my memory as I met with an accident..... I knew his tactics so I already knew how to make him believe my lie and di was already in that state so he believed us...
Then you know what happened....

But he started acting weird from last couple of days and I felt as if he was doubting me as he could clearly see that di was trying to get the answers of the memory flashes she started to get after meeting you.....
he again disappeared... but my men told me that he is planning to kill di at our work place.... That's why when you guys came the other day... I purposely made you fight with me to drag the time for you guys to be there.....

His men were in the boutique..... I wanted someone trustworthy to be with di when we take them down so when you were with di.... That gave us plenty of time to do our job.!!!

(Aditya just gasped and couldn't believe behind all this.... It was Oldie.!!!!!)

Aditya: But why.???? Why would he do that.??

Shayan: "Greed" is not good... At first he did all to entertain himself.... He lived to watch us suffer..... bloody psycho..!
Then he came to know that your dad meaning his old friend is very reputable politician.....
He got greedy and wanted him dead so he can be in his position.... But in order to achieve that he has to be in everyone's good book so that position can easily pass down on him....
So when he got a call from your dad for getting bodyguard and when he told him the plan that he is trying to set you both up....
He got the perfect chance.... He used his daughter to make way for him get closer to his ultimate goal.... Your dad's post.!!!

Aditya: So he played us all from the beginning.??? Those moments.... Those laughs.... Everything was fake.????

Shayan: Life sucks Adi...... I have been living my whole life like that..... I know it's hard for you to take it all in and most importantly trust me.... I understand.... There is no way I was expecting you to believe me or show trust in me....(cutoff by a voice behind them....)

:But I trust you Shayan.......

(Both were shocked to hear that voice...... they turned to the source of the voice and undoubtedly it was Shanaya....... Her eyes were red.... they could see that she is holding back her tears..... she is trying so hard not to cry.... Both of them were unsure to how to react... but Shayan's first instinct was to go and hug her so he did the same.....)

Shayan: Di......... Oh my God di...... Are you alright.???? How's your headache.?? God you made me so worried..!! How are you feeling.??? Do you still feel dizzy...??? Tsk... Why did you come here.....? You could have called me downstairs..... why don't you listen.....(cut off by Shanaya as he placed her hand on his mouth.....)

Shanaya: Shhh..... Geez little brother.!!! Relax..... I am okay.!!! I am glad I didn't listen to them and came here......

(She then glanced at Aditya who was still at his place standing.... He was not sure how to react..... Shanaya's eyes were red which he felt like she wants to cry... but he was not sure whether to go hug or just be formal.... After the way she fainted... he just dropped the idea to bring back her memory.... He is just too scared.... )

(Shanaya just went to him..... by now everyone who was standing by the rooftop door came in.....
She went close to Aditya holding his hand she said almost on verge of crying....)

Shanaya: C..can.......... *sob*...... I ....... Get...... *sob* a hug..... Adi.....?? (She said the last word almost as a whisper.... But Aditya just pulled her into his warm hug and that was it........ she broke down........ She was crying her heart out...... the moment she said "Adi" he knew she got her memory back..... but that not only made him happy but it was breaking his heart as Shan got her memory back when she got to know all the answers she was looking for..... She came to know  that his own father..... oldie was the main culprit.... All along.... He was deceiving her..... She came to know about her mom.!! She came to know everything just when she got her memories back....
He cannot imagine what she must be going through.... The way She is in his arms right now clinging to him.!!! He has never seen her like that nor has he ever imagined that a day would come when The Shanaya Shekhawat will need him as her support......

Aditya broke the hug and tries to calm her down..... she was a crying mess....)

Aditya: Shh... Shan..... Shan... relax.... Look at me..... take deep breaths......

(But she still was not calm.... Due to excessive crying she was now having bad hiccups but still she was not ready to stop crying...... Priya and Gari came to her and hugged her trying to calm her down but ended up crying with her.....

Suddenly they heard someone yelling......)

: EVERYBODY MOVE BACK......

(Shayan then just emptied the whole bucket of water on Shanaya.... Due to this sudden attack.... Shanaya's hiccups stopped and so did her crying in order to find who did that...... Everyone sighed in relief.....)

Shanaya: The hell..... Shayan...... Hom many times should I tell you.???
Aaahh.... I hate you.!!!

(Shayan just went near her.... Sat next to her.... Using his handkerchief while drying her face he said....)

Shayan: Love you too di.....

(They both hugged each other.....)

Shanaya: I missed you...!!! I am so sorry..... I wasn't there with you when you needed your elder sister the most..... I can't believe oldie.....(cut off by Shayan)

Shayan: It's Mr. Shekhawat di.... He lost all his rights of being called as our dad the day he decided to kill you after killing our mom.....

(He then felt a hand on his shoulder.... He turned to see who it was and it was none other then Aarush..... Shayan stood up from his place.....)

Aarush: I am sorry.... I always suspected you... I hated you in a way that...... *sigh*
I am sorry...... and I am proud of Adi..... He was the one who always said that he trusts you when it comes to Shan.....
I am sorry.!!! (They both hugged each other.....)

Aarush: And you....... (He made Shanaya stand.....)
You made us feel like strangers you dum-dum.!!! Cook tomorrow's lunch for all of us.... That is your punishment....... (Shanaya just nodded her head and they all came together to have a big group hug......)

Shanaya: I. Will. Kill. That. Monster.!!!! Shayan where is he....???

(Shayan grabbed her hand when he saw that Shanaya is ready to go ....)

Shayan: I know where he is di.... I have made sure he stays where he is meant to be..... in the asylum....!

(Shanaya's face dropped and she put her hand on Shayan's cheek and said...)

Shanaya: I can't believe he kept you there.!!!! I M so sorry..... I should have tried harder to....(cut of by Shayan....)

Shayan: Shh... Di.... Let bygones be bygones.!!! Now we are one big happy family......

(Days went by and Shanaya is now fully recovered...... Shanaya mentioned a lot of times to go and see Mr. Shekhawat to give him her last visit but Shayan and Aditya didn't want her to face him and remember all the things that he did to her....
After a month Shanaya and Aditya were out for a dinner date....
After dinner they were about to leave when she saw some men coming towards them in a very suspicious manner....... She stood up and was about to grab her gun when suddenly they shot from their gun up in the air making whole lot of ballon fall from the top which made her instantly look up....... She just smiled looking at the beautiful pink and red colored balloons scattered around and then she saw in front where Aditya is sitting on one knee with a beautiful ring in his hand.......)

Aditya: Ms. Shanaya Shekhawat..... aka.... Shan.... Aka.... My Tsunami.!! I don't think we need an elaborate proposal but to make it official..... Be my Tsunami forever and just be my side let's make an amazing life together..... Be Adi's Shan and I will be Shan's Adi forever.....

(Shanaya smiled through her slightly teary eyes and moved her left hand forward where Aditya slid the beautiful ring where it belonged.....
He stood up and kissed her making the seal deal....
Before the kiss can turn into something else...... a voice broke their most precious moment....)

: Guys.... We have senior citizens here...!!!!!

All: JIHAAAAN.!!!!!!!

Then another voice said......

:Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand it's a CUT.!!!!!!!

(Everyone in the crew and all the actors started clapping and cheering for each other's hard work........)

Director: Well done guys... very well done.!!!! So proud of all of you........ It's a wrap.!!!!!!

(They all settled down and finally director spoke in the microphone.....)

Director: Wow.!! Finally today marks an end to an amazing journey of our Web Series "In Love With My Bodyguard......." What a journey.!!!!!

But all happy tears........ they all cut the cake...... drink the champagne.... Laughed, cried and then started to make their ways to their home promising each other to keep in touch......
Avneet was walking to her car as well when a voice stopped her....)

Siddharth: Where do you think you are going Ms. Kaur.????

Avneet: Home....! Why.???

Siddharth: Really.???? C'mon.!. Are you still in your Shanaya's character.??? C'mon yaar Maado.!!! You promised.!!! You will answer my question on last day of our shoot.....

(Avneet just laughs at him who was making pouty face....)

Avneet: Shanaya's character is going to stay with me forever.... And about the answer.......
(She then went close to his ear and whispered....)

It's a Yes.!!!!

(She then turned around and started to go towards her car....)

Siddharth: Wha........ Hey....! If it's a yes.... Then why you leaving me.?????
Are you lost babygirl.????

(Avneet turned with a smirk and said...)

Avneet: No, I ain't lost babyboy.!!!!!!

(She opens her car's trunk took her luggage and her driver handed her passport and tickets.....)

Avneet: C'mon....... Maldives isn't gonna come here on its own....
