Part 2
Scene 1 – A Growing Friendship
Ajay and Pari sat on a park bench while Sunny and Garima played nearby.
Sunny and Garima laughed as they chased each other around the swings.
Ajay smiled.
Ajay: They became friends so quickly.
Pari: Children don't judge people the way adults do.
Ajay nodded.
After a brief silence...
Ajay: Pari... if you don't mind... Garima's father...
Pari's smile faded.
She looked away.
Pari: It's a long story.
Ajay immediately realized he had touched a painful memory.
Ajay: I'm sorry. You don't have to tell me.
Pari gave a faint smile.
Pari: Maybe... it's time someone knew.
Her eyes slowly filled with tears.
The scene faded into a flashback.
Flashback – Pari and Arjun
Scene 2 – First Love
A college campus...
Pari sat beneath a tree reading a novel.
Arjun quietly sat beside her.
Arjun: Excuse me...
She looked up.
Pari: Yes?
Arjun: I think someone stole my heart.
She frowned.
Pari: Really?
Arjun: Yes.
He smiled.
Arjun: The thief is sitting right in front of me.
Pari burst into laughter.
Pari: Terrible line.
Arjun: But it worked.
She smiled shyly.
That innocent conversation became the beginning of their love story.
Scene 3 – Romantic Moments
Days passed.
They were inseparable.
One evening, they sat beside a lake watching the sunset.
Arjun gently held Pari's hand.
Arjun: Promise me...
Pari: What?
Arjun: No matter what happens...
...you'll always smile like this.
Pari smiled.
Pari: Only if you're beside me.
Arjun lovingly tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
Arjun: I'll always be with you.
The rain poured heavily as Arjun and Pari rode through the empty roads.
Zindagi ek safar hai suhana
Yahan kal kya ho kisne jaana
Zindagi ek safar hai suhana
Yahan kal kya ho kisne jaana
Zindagi ek safar hai suhana
Yahan kal kya ho kisne jaana
Arey o leiyo leiyo, oleiyo leiyo
Oleiyo leiyo, oleiyo leiyo...
Arjun: If I slow down, we'll miss the best part!
Pari: And what's that?
Arjun stopped the scooter near a small hill overlooking the city lights.
The rain had become lighter.
Pari looked at the beautiful view.
Pari: It's so beautiful.
Arjun smiled, watching her instead of the scenery.
Arjun: Not as beautiful as you.
Pari playfully nudged him.
Pari: You're becoming too filmy.
Arjun: Only because I'm in love.
Pari blushed.
Chand taaron se chalna hai aage
Asmaanon se badhna hai aage
Arey chand taaron se chalna hai aage
Asmaanon se badhna hai aage
Pichhe reh jayega yeh zamana
Yahan kal kya ho kisne jaana
Zindagi ek safar hai suhana
Yahan kal kya ho kisne jaana
Oleiyo leiyo, oleiyo leiyo...
Arjun took her hand.
Arjun: Pari... I don't care where you came from or what your past is. I only know one thing...
He looked into her eyes.
Arjun: I want to spend my entire life with you.
Haste gate jahan se guzar
Duniya ki tu parvah na kar
Haste gate jahan se guzar
Duniya ki tu parvah na kar
Muskuraate hue din bitana
Yahan kal kya ho kisne jaana
Haan zindagi ek safar hai suhana
Yahan kal kya ho kisne jaana
Oleiyo leiyo, oleiyo leiyo...
Pari's eyes filled with happy tears.
Pari: I love you too, Arjun.
They embraced as the rain continued to fall around them.
Maut aani hai ayegi ik din
Jaan jaani hai jayegi ik din
Arey maut aani hai ayegi ik din
Jaan jaani hai jayegi ik din
Aisi baaton se kya ghabrana
Yahan kal kya ho kisne jaana
Zindagi ek safar hai suhana
Yahan kal kya ho kisne jaana
Di di di... du du du...
Oleiyo leiyo, oleiyo leiyo...
Scene 4 – A Secret Wedding
A few weeks later...
Inside an ancient Shiva temple, with only the temple priest as a witness, Arjun gently applied vermilion (sindoor) in Pari's hair parting and tied the mangalsutra around her neck.
The priest blessed them.
Priest: From this moment, you are husband and wife. May Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati always protect your marriage.
Arjun folded his hands.
Arjun: Thank you, Pandit ji.
Outside the temple...
Pari looked at the mangalsutra around her neck.
Pari: I never imagined our wedding would happen like this.
Arjun smiled.
Arjun: I couldn't wait another day to make you my wife.
He kissed her forehead.
Arjun: One day, when everything settles down, I'll marry you again in front of the whole world. I'll make sure everyone knows you're Mrs. Paridhi Bajwa.
Pari smiled through tears.
Pari: I don't need a grand wedding. Having you is enough.
Arjun held her hands.
Arjun: I promise... no matter what happens, I'll never let anyone separate us.
Scene 5 – The Good News
A month later...
Pari nervously handed a medical report to Arjun.
He looked at it in confusion.
His eyes widened.
Arjun: You're... pregnant?
Pari nodded shyly.
Arjun was overwhelmed with joy.
He lifted her into his arms and spun her around.
Arjun: I'm going to be a father!
He laughed like a child.
Arjun: This is the happiest day of my life!
He gently knelt before her and placed his hand on her stomach.
Arjun: Hello, little one... I'm your papa.
Pari giggled.
Pari: The baby can't hear you yet.
Arjun: Then I'll keep talking until our baby can.
He looked up at Pari with tears in his eyes.
Arjun: Our child will never feel unwanted. I'll give both of you every happiness in the world.
Pari caressed his face.
Pari: You'll be the best father.
Arjun rested his forehead against hers.
Arjun: And you'll be the best mother.
They stood in a warm embrace, dreaming of the family they were about to build—completely unaware that fate was about to test every promise they had made.
Flashback – Scene 6: Arjun Faces His Father
A few days later...
The magnificent Bajwa Mansion stood tall.
Arjun walked confidently into the living room where his father, Jagdish Bajwa, was discussing business matters.
Seeing his son, Jagdish dismissed everyone.
Jagdish: What is it? You look unusually serious.
Arjun smiled.
Arjun: Dad... I have wonderful news.
Jagdish put down his newspaper.
Jagdish: Tell me.
Arjun: I have found the woman I want to spend my life with.
Jagdish smiled.
Jagdish: Good. Which industrialist's daughter is she?
Arjun shook his head.
Arjun: Her name is Paridhi... everyone calls her Pari.
Jagdish: Bajwa...?
Arjun: No.
Jagdish: Malhotra? Kapoor? Khanna?
Arjun: She doesn't belong to any wealthy family.
Jagdish's smile disappeared.
Jagdish: Then whose daughter is she?
Arjun hesitated.
Arjun: She grew up in an orphanage.
Silence filled the room.
Jagdish slowly stood up.
Jagdish: What did you say?
Arjun: Her parents are unknown. But she is educated, kind and—
Before he could finish...
SLAP!
Jagdish slapped him across the face.
Jagdish: Have you lost your mind?
Arjun looked at his father in disbelief.
Jagdish: A Bajwa heir will marry an orphan? A girl with no family... no lineage... no background?
Arjun: Her worth isn't decided by her surname.
Jagdish: Society will laugh at us!
Arjun: Let them laugh.
Jagdish: I will never allow that girl into this house!
Arjun looked his father straight in the eye.
Arjun: I'm not asking for your permission. I'm informing you.
Jagdish's anger boiled over.
Jagdish: If you marry that girl... you will no longer be my son!
The room fell silent.
Arjun took a deep breath.
Arjun: Then today... I stop being your son.
Jagdish was stunned.
Arjun calmly removed the expensive watch his father had gifted him.
Then he took off the Bajwa family ring.
He placed both on the table.
Arjun: I don't want your wealth.
He removed the keys to his luxury car.
Arjun: I don't want your cars.
Finally, he placed his wallet on the table.
Arjun: I don't want your money either.
Jagdish stared at him in shock.
Arjun: The only thing I want is my wife and our child.
Jagdish froze.
Jagdish: Wife...?
Arjun smiled proudly.
Arjun: Yes.
Arjun: Pari and I are already married.
Jagdish's face turned pale.
Jagdish: Impossible...
Arjun: And she's carrying your grandchild.
Jagdish staggered back a step.
Instead of softening, his face hardened further.
Jagdish: That child will never bear the Bajwa name.
Arjun's eyes filled with disappointment.
Arjun: Then neither will I.
He folded his hands respectfully.
Arjun: Thank you for raising me... but from today, my family is Pari and our baby.
Without another word, Arjun turned and walked out of the mansion.
Jagdish remained standing in stunned silence, his pride preventing him from calling his son back.
Scene 7 – Pari's Birthday
Meanwhile...
Pari's small rented house was decorated with colorful balloons and handmade paper flowers.
A modest chocolate cake sat on the table.
The priest who knew the young couple smiled warmly.
Priest: He should be here any minute.
Pari looked at the clock for the tenth time.
She gently rested a hand on her baby bump.
Pari: Your papa promised he'd celebrate our first birthday after marriage with us.
She smiled.
Pari: He never breaks his promises.
Just then her phone rang.
Her face lit up.
Pari: Arjun!
She answered immediately.
Pari: Where are you? Everyone's waiting.
Arjun's cheerful voice came through.
Arjun: Happy birthday, Mrs. Bajwa.
Pari smiled.
Pari: You're late.
Arjun: I know. I had to settle something important.
He looked ahead while driving.
Arjun: I left my father's house forever.
Pari became worried.
Pari: What happened?
Arjun: I'll tell you everything when I get there.
His voice softened.
Arjun: Nothing matters now. We're together.
Pari smiled through tears.
Pari: Come soon.
Arjun: Ten minutes.
He laughed.
Arjun: Don't cut the cake without me.
Pari: Never.
Arjun: I love you.
Pari: I love you too.
They ended the call.
Pari looked at the door with hopeful eyes.
Ten minutes passed.
Then twenty.
Then thirty.
The smile on her face slowly faded.
Outside, dark clouds gathered over the city as fate prepared to change her life forever.
Flashback – Scene 8: The Fatal Accident
Arjun drove through the rain with a small gift box on the passenger seat.
Inside was a silver locket engraved with the words:
"Pari... Forever."
He smiled to himself.
Arjun (thinking): She's probably angry that I'm late. I'll make it up to her.
His phone buzzed.
It was Pari.
He smiled but decided not to answer while driving.
Arjun: Just five more minutes...
As he crossed a highway intersection, a speeding truck whose driver had lost control came hurtling toward him.
A bystander shouted.
Bystander: Look out!
Arjun looked up.
His eyes widened.
He instinctively turned the steering wheel, but there wasn't enough time.
CRASH!
The truck slammed into his car.
The impact sent the vehicle spinning before it crashed into the roadside barrier.
The gift box flew open, and the silver locket landed on the rain-soaked road.
People rushed toward the wreckage.
Man: Someone call an ambulance!
Woman: He's still breathing!
Arjun lay trapped inside the mangled car, bleeding heavily.
With trembling hands, he reached for his phone.
The screen displayed a picture of him and Pari smiling together.
He whispered weakly,
Arjun: Pari...
His hand slowly fell.
The ambulance arrived, but despite the doctors' efforts, Arjun succumbed to his injuries on the way to the hospital.
Scene 9: The News
Back at the house...
The birthday candles had melted.
The cake remained untouched.
Pari looked anxiously at the door.
The doorbell finally rang.
She smiled brightly.
Pari: Arjun!
She hurried to open the door.
Instead, two police officers stood outside.
Her smile disappeared.
Officer: Are you, Mrs. Paridhi...?
She nodded.
Pari: Yes.
The officer removed his cap.
Officer: We are sorry.
Pari felt her heart race.
Officer: Mr. Arjun Bajwa met with a serious road accident.
Her face turned pale.
Pari: He's in the hospital... right?
The officers exchanged a helpless glance.
Officer: We couldn't save him.
For a moment, the world seemed to stop.
Pari stared at them blankly.
Pari: No...
The officer lowered his eyes.
Officer: We are sorry for your loss.
The words echoed in her ears.
The birthday cake slipped from her hands and crashed onto the floor.
Pari: No... no... no...
She collapsed, crying uncontrollably.
The priest who had been waiting inside rushed to support her.
Priest: Child...
Pari screamed through her tears.
Pari: He promised me... he promised he'd come back...
She clutched her stomach protectively.
Pari: He promised our baby...
Scene 10: Jagdish's Cruel Rejection
A few days later...
Determined to honor Arjun's memory, Pari went to the Bajwa mansion.
She folded her hands before Jagdish.
Pari: I don't want your money or your property. I only came because I'm carrying Arjun's child.
Jagdish looked at her coldly.
Jagdish: Leave.
Pari took a deep breath.
Pari: Arjun accepted me as his wife. This child is his last memory.
Jagdish's face hardened.
Jagdish: I have no son.
Pari's eyes filled with tears.
Pari: Please... don't punish an innocent child.
Jagdish pointed toward the gate.
Jagdish: Get out of my house.
The servants looked on silently.
Pari stood frozen.
Jagdish spoke in a harsh voice.
Jagdish: You trapped my son, and now you expect sympathy? I don't even know whose child you're carrying.
Pari recoiled as if struck.
Pari: How can you say that?
Jagdish: The Bajwa family is not related to you. Never return here again.
He turned away.
The mansion doors closed before her.
Standing outside in the rain, Pari broke down in tears, holding her stomach.
Pari: Arjun... why did you leave us alone?
With nowhere to go and feeling completely abandoned, Pari wandered through the streets, convinced that life had lost all meaning.

Flashback – Scene 11: Pari's Despair
It was late at night.
Rain poured relentlessly as Pari walked alone through deserted streets.
Her eyes were swollen from crying.
One hand rested protectively on her pregnant belly.
Pari (through tears): Arjun... you promised we'd always be together.
She stopped on a bridge overlooking a fast-flowing river.
The water roared below.
She looked down.
Pari: I have no family... no home... no one to call my own.
She closed her eyes.
Pari: Forgive me... I can't do this anymore.
She slowly stepped onto the edge of the bridge.
Just as she was about to jump...
A firm hand pulled her back.
Voice: Stop, child!
Pari turned around.
It was an elderly priest from a nearby temple.
He had seen her standing on the bridge and rushed to her.
Pari broke down.
Pari: Let me go! I have nothing left to live for!
The priest held her shoulders gently.
Priest: You are not alone.
Pari cried uncontrollably.
Pari: My husband is dead... his family threw me out... everyone thinks I'm a burden.
The priest looked at her with compassion.
Then he placed his hand over her stomach.
Priest: Perhaps you feel alone...
...but your child doesn't.
Pari froze.
The priest continued softly.
Priest: This little life depends entirely on you.
Priest: If you give up today, your child will lose both parents.
Pari burst into tears and hugged her stomach.
The priest's words echoed in her heart.
Priest: Your husband may have left this world, but a part of him still lives within you.
Pari fell to her knees, sobbing.
Pari: I don't know how to live without him.
The priest helped her stand.
Priest: Then live for the promise he left behind—your child.
Scene 12: A New Beginning
The next morning...
The priest brought Pari to a small temple.
She quietly helped prepare offerings, swept the courtyard, and assisted visitors.
In return, the temple gave her a small room to stay in.
Months later...
Pari gave birth to a healthy baby.
As she held the newborn in her arms, tears streamed down her face.
Nurse: Congratulations. It's a girl.
Pari looked lovingly at the child.
Pari: Your papa dreamed of holding you one day.
She kissed the baby's forehead.
Pari: He won't be here to see you...
...but I'll love you enough for both of us.
She named her Garima, the name Arjun had once lovingly chosen for their child because, to him, it symbolized dignity and self-respect.
The priest smiled.
Priest: May this child always remind you that hope can be born even after the darkest night.
Scene 13: Leaving the Past Behind
A few months later...
The priest handed Pari a train ticket.
Priest: My daughter lives in another city. She has arranged a teaching job for you there.
Pari looked surprised.
Pari: You've done so much for me already.
Priest: This is not charity.
He smiled warmly.
Priest: It is simply one human being helping another.
Pari folded her hands gratefully.
Pari: I will never forget your kindness.
She picked up baby Garima and boarded the train.
As the train began to move, she looked out of the window one last time.
Pari (thinking): Goodbye, Arjun. I cannot erase you from my heart... but for our child's sake, I must learn to live again.
The train disappeared into the distance.
Present Day
Pari finished her story.
Tears rolled down her cheeks.
Ajay sat silently, deeply moved.
He handed her a handkerchief.
Ajay: Arjun must have been an extraordinary man.
Pari smiled faintly.
Pari: He was.
There was a long silence.
Then Ajay spoke quietly.
Ajay: I know what it feels like to lose the person you love.
Pari looked at him.
Pari: You never told me about Sunny's mother.
Ajay's eyes became moist.
He looked toward Sunny, who was happily playing with Garima.
Ajay: Her name was Anushka...
The memories he had buried for years slowly resurfaced as his own story began to unfold.
