ep. 3
Shivam is lying quietly on his bed. The room is dimly lit, only the moonlight is seeping in through the window. Just then, Ady enters the room.
Advard (ML'S BFF / CRIME PARTNER)
(teasing slightly):
"Who is this Nandini...? Do you know her?"
😁
SHIVAM THAKUR (ML)
(softly):
"Yeah..."
Advard (ML'S BFF / CRIME PARTNER)
(grinning):
"What does she look like? Is she pretty?"
😗😗
SHIVAM THAKUR (ML)
(thinking):
"I don’t know... I met her in childhood... I haven’t seen her in years..." 😒
Advard (ML'S BFF / CRIME PARTNER)
(curious):
"Ohhh..." 😅
Shivam seems lost in thought.
Advard (ML'S BFF / CRIME PARTNER)
(sits near him):
"What are you thinking about?" 😉😉
SHIVAM THAKUR (ML)
(quietly):
"Just... how I’ll face her tomorrow... after so many years... what will I even say to her...
I think... she hates me..."
😒😒
Advard (ML'S BFF / CRIME PARTNER)
whattt... why.... 😮
Shivam doesn't respond, just stares into space.
Advard (ML'S BFF / CRIME PARTNER)
(raising his hands playfully):
"Okay okay, don’t tell me...
At least tell me what she was like... her nature?"
Advard (ML'S BFF / CRIME PARTNER)
😒😒
SHIVAM THAKUR (ML)
(a soft smile appears on his face):
"You really want to know?"
😚
Advard (ML'S BFF / CRIME PARTNER)
😧yaa
SHIVAM THAKUR (ML)
(smiling, lost in memories):
"She was a crybaby... used to cry over the smallest things...
Always said sorry...
She took care of her things very neatly...
I used to annoy her a lot... but she never complained to anyone.😅😂..
And you know... at first, she used to be scared of me too...😅😅
But eventually, we became really good friends..." 😄
Advard (ML'S BFF / CRIME PARTNER)
😮💭it's first time he talking about someone.. like that...
Suddenly, his smile fades, and he stops speaking.
SHIVAM THAKUR (ML)
(quietly):
"...But everything has changed now... maybe she doesn’t even remember me anymore..."
😔
Advard (ML'S BFF / CRIME PARTNER)
(a bit stunned):
"Bro... what happened?
This is the first time I’ve heard you talk about someone like this...
Like you’re completely lost in your thoughts...
Shiv, do you want to meet her?"
Advard (ML'S BFF / CRIME PARTNER)
😚
SHIVAM THAKUR (ML)
(looking down):
"I don’t know... I just know she hates me..."
😶
Advard (ML'S BFF / CRIME PARTNER)
(serious tone):
"But why? What happened?" 😧
SHIVAM THAKUR (ML)
(sighing deeply):
"Let it be... what’s the point of digging up the past..." 😒
The scene slowly fades out...
The atmosphere is heavy with emotion. Nandini stands near the window, her eyes teary. Her father sits quietly, trying to gather the strength to explain something difficult.
NANDINI HARSHWARDHAN ( FL)
(voice trembling):
"Baba, it's only been a year since we returned from Nani’s house… and now you want to send me away again?"
😔🥺
RAGHUVIR HARSHWARDHAN (FL'S FATHER)
(softly):
"If it were up to me, dear, I wouldn’t let you or Aditi go anywhere. But what can I do… I’m a father, and I can’t run away from my responsibilities."
😔
NANDINI HARSHWARDHAN ( FL)
"But Baba, please… I don’t want to get married right now…" 🥺
RAGHUVIR HARSHWARDHAN (FL'S FATHER)
(gently):
"I understand, beta… but someday it has to happen, right? We’ve never forced anything on you all these years… but now, you’re 28… and we have to walk with society too, my child."
😔
NANDINI HARSHWARDHAN ( FL)
"But Baba…"
RAGHUVIR HARSHWARDHAN (FL'S FATHER)
(interrupting kindly):
"Let me ask you one question, Nandini. Just one.
Do you trust your father?"
NANDINI HARSHWARDHAN ( FL)
(instantly):🤨
"Baba… what kind of question is that? Of course, I do. I trust you more than anyone in this world."
RAGHUVIR HARSHWARDHAN (FL'S FATHER)
(smiling, holding her hand):
"That’s all I ask, beta. Hold on to that trust. I promise you—your Baba will never let anything wrong happen to you.
Shivam and his family are wonderful people.
You’ve known them since childhood, haven’t you? Just trust me…"
NANDINI HARSHWARDHAN ( FL)
(hesitantly):
"But Baba… what if I don’t feel happy there without you and Addu?
What if I mess something up…?"
😔
RAGHUVIR HARSHWARDHAN (FL'S FATHER)
(placing a hand on her head):
"Then you’ll run right back to your Baba… and I’ll handle everything, like always.😊😊
Even I’m helpless, beta… for the first time, my mother—your Dadi—has asked me for something.
But I promise you… nothing wrong will ever happen to you."
NANDINI HARSHWARDHAN ( FL)
(with concern):
"But Baba… what if Shivam doesn’t agree to this marriage?
What if… he doesn’t want to marry me?" 😔
RAGHUVIR HARSHWARDHAN (FL'S FATHER)
(calmly):
"Don’t worry, child. We’ve called Shivam over this evening.
If he says no to this marriage… we won’t force him either."
😅
NANDINI HARSHWARDHAN ( FL)
😧
NANDINI HARSHWARDHAN ( FL)
💭he is coming... 😨
