Texas

Naina is in her room looking at the CCTV footage of Sanchi's room.

She sees she and Sameer are seeing their baby sleep peacefully in the cot.

Sanchi's mouth is slightly open and she is making weird breathing sound. He chuckles to himself. 'Nainu, she sleeps just like you! Your mouth also stays open when you are fast asleep.'

'At least there is one thing that she takes after me. For everything else she is a carbon copy of you,' she frowns at him.

He pulls her closer to him, tightly wrapping his arms around her waist. 'Nainu, you know we can always try for another one. I'm sure the next one will be your DUPLICATE.'

'And if she isn't?' She asked him.

'Then, we will keep trying, until we get it right,' he winks at her.

A tear rolls down her face as she walks back to sleep. 'That's how it should have been! Sanchi will soon be 3 months old. How much more of her life are you going to miss out on?'

She cries herself to sleep.

Naina wakes up by the neighing of the horses. She have taken up horse riding recently and she loves it so much, that she purchased few horses and kept them at the stable in the ranch.

"SHADOW" is her fav horse, she would take her riding, in the early hours of the morning, everyday.

After riding, she peeps on her daughter. Reene turns around and greets her but she gets scared seeing her, as she is in a face mask.

Reene laughs, 'Ma'am, don't worry. It's me Reene.'

'You scared the hell out of me. What if Sanchi sees you like this? She is gonna cry out,' she says still in shock.

Reene just laughs. 'Oh Ma'am, baby ji won't as she likes to see me like this. By the way I know her better than you.'

She feels like banging her head.

'Anyways Ma'am, it isn't 8:00 yet. Baby ji will not wake up before that,' Reene said calmly.

'Yet another aspect, she takes after her father. It is as if Sameer ji and Sanchi have built in clocks.' She thinks. 'I wonder Reene is Abhishek's girlfriend.'

******

Naina after having her breakfast, settles down to check how Sameer's businesses are performing on the stock market. She is happy with the result. All the hard work is paying off.

There is still some time before Sanchi wakes, so she decides to go to her room.

******

Naina sits at her desk and from her drawer pulls out her diary.

She opens a page and writes - Sameer's ji, I am tired writing to you. Soon it will be one year that you are gone. You know that when you get back, you will have a lot of reading to do. As I am gonna make you read each letter I wrote to you. I miss you terribly. I love you. I STILL DO.

She closes the diary, keeps it back into the drawer.

Just then Reene came in with Sanchi in her arms. She takes her in her arms. Sanchi smiles at her.

She caresses her cheeks with the back of her finger. 'You have Sameer ji's eyes, nose, lips, complexion. You have even mastered your father's signature smirk. You are a duplicate of your father. That's why I always refer to you as PAPA KI PARI. I'm sorry to bring you here, but this is a test for your papa. You know your Dad had told me, that wherever in the world I will be, HE'LL FIND ME!

Delhi

Singh Mansion

It's a very huge mansion, with the interiors and the surrounding giving it a royal feel. Most probably, as it's situated in South Block, Delhi's one of the most prominent areas. Diya is excitedly looking at her bodyguards, as they came in after completing their "mission"

'What's the news?'

'Ma'am,' the bodyguard stammers. 'Ma'am..'

'It's been 11 months but still you can't find him?' her angry voice roars in the room.

They gulps hard. 'Ma'am, we are searching but..'

'I want result,' she takes a nearby vase and throws it on the mirror. They gets scared.

'But we found out her,' another man brings in a lady inside the room.

She turns around and meets Vishakha, who is asking them to leave her.

'We will let you go, but first tell me where is he?' she asked her.

'He..He..He is dead,' Vishakha stammers.

She gets irritated now. 'I am not talking about Aaryan.'

Vishakha gets confused. 'I don't know any Aaryan.'

'Stop your nonsense,' she angrily looks at her.

Vishakha is still confused. 'I am not talking nonsense. But my son Rohan.'

She slaps her. 'Rohan is not your son, but my son.'

'No, he is my son,' Vishakha stands upto her.

She holds her hairs and pulls it, as Vishakha cries in pain.

Suddenly she hears some footsteps and gets scared. 'Hide her quickly.'

The bodyguards does as told and hides her inside the cupboard. She jumps on bed and sleeps. Ratan came in the room. He finds the broken mirror and the vase near it and questions the bodyguards.

'How did this happened?'

They gets tensed. 'Sir..'

'Sir, actually Ma'am is not waking up so we thought by the breaking sound she would wake up.' they finally tells him.

'I have appointed you to take care of her not to do to all of this,' he angrily shakes his head.

They quickly apologizes. 'Sorry sir.'

He walks towards her and seats besides her. He holds her hand in his and presses it.

'I know due to Aaryan's death you had a nervous breakdown, but you are recovering when we found our Rohan, but we lost him again and you slipped into coma.' He kisses on her forehead.

Just then he feels someone's hand on his shoulder. He wipes his tears and turns around.

'Doctor Priya,' he hugs her.

'Dad, for you only Priya.' she smiles.

'Okay!' he said.

'How is Mom now?' she asked him.

'No improvement,' he said a bit dejected.

'Don't worry Dad she will be fine soon and see Bhai will be found soon too,' she gives him hope.

He just simply nods.

She takes him out of the room. As soon as they goes out she wakes up. 'I am sorry Ratan and Priya, but I am a mother. A mother whose one son is dead and another son..But I will not keep quiet. I will not spare that Naina Maheshwari. I will take revenge from her and her family. Wont leave anyone.'

Suddenly her sight falls on Vishakha. 'And you too. You will bear the burnt of a mother's anger.'

Vishakha gets gets scared.

******

'Why you are alone? Where is he?' Ratan asked his daughter, about her husband not accompanying her.

'No, Dad he didn't got time. But I will be staying here for a few day's' she said excitedly.

He also gets excited. 'That's a wonderful news, I am so happy.'

Singh House

It's a 2 BHK house, with very minimal facilities available. In a room, guy is shuffling in his sleep. It looks as if he is getting some nightmare.

CLINK, CHINK, CLANK

It is the sound of metal hitting on metal. Next gunshots can be heard. Shots being fired from the right. From the left. He is running.

He is running and the firing is not stopping.

"CRASH" came the sound of glass shattering.

" BOOM!" there is an explosion.

The "scenes" replays, over and over again. The sounds can be heard clearly but the images are distorted.

Beads of sweat forms on his forehead. He is breathing heavily. His head moves from side to side. It is getting hot. He kicks off the blanket.

He wants to scream for help, but he can't find his voice. With a mighty gasp for air- he wakes up.

His face gets cleared and he is Virendra. He looks around the room. It doesn't seem familiar though.

Photographs of himself adorned the wall. He moves towards them and looks at it closely.

There is a picture of him with his mom Roopa. One with his best friend Munna.

One with Shivu, his girlfriend, who is kissing him on the check. One with probably the entire Indian army. And one with his squad.

All pictures have one thing in common, he (Major Pratap Singh) is wearing a uniform and he sports a huge smile in every photo. It is obvious that he is extremely proud to serve in the Indian army.

'If only I could remember!' He thinks, when suddenly he sees his Mom coming to his room and giving him water.

He drinks it.

'What happened beta?' asked his mother.

'Don't know Mom, but this nightmares again came,' he has still not recovered from the nightmares.

'Don't worry try to sleep it won't come now,' his mother consoles him.

He nods gracefully and tries to sleep.
