Your days are over. You get that?

And, you won't

get a wink of sleep..

I condemn the court

I condemn the decision

She's my daughter...

She's my daughter.

I didn't tell Nia

about Abhay's death..

..because they were really close.

She worshipped him.

And, doctor.

Nia's a very sensitive child.

But I feel, I made a mistake.

I should've told her before.

Mrs. Verma.

These days children

get all kinds of exposure.

See. Through television..

..children understand

the concept of life and death.

Doctor. Nia talks to Abhay.

Earlier, it was just at home.

But now she even does it in class.

Her class teacher

even complained today.

Look. There are many children..

..who make up an imaginary world..

..to escape from their loneliness..

..or something that they've

lost in terrible accidents.

In this world,

there are many imaginary people.

Some of them are their friends.

I wouldn't worry about it.

I believe...children

have a different God.

For now, I suggest that..

..you take Nia somewhere

out of this city.

It will be a change.

For both of you.

"Why should we stop our breath?"

"The moments will pass away."

Mom, look. Look at the car.

Nia, go slow.

Nia. Come on.

Mom, I want that.

No, dear. - He's here.

Nia. - I want that. - Let's go.

He'll surely get it.

Nia, let's go.

He's here.

Nia, let's go.

I want that locket, mom.

- Get inside.

I want that locket.

He's here for his daughter.

Drive.

Hi, room for Maya Verma.

- Certainly.

Room no.117.

Have a nice stay with us.

- Thank you very much.

Come, baby.

Hi, Pankaj. - Hey, Maya.

Hope you reached safely.

We reached in the evening.

Nia's enjoying here.

Sorry to bring up work,

Maya but Martin's report.

Let's not talk about work.

I'll sort everything

out when I return on Monday.

Okay. - Okay, then.

Have a good time.

Bye, Pankaj.

Come, Nia. Let's go sleep.

Come on.

Nia, where did you get this locket?

Did you pick it up?

Nia, am taking to you.

Was that Pankaj?

Nia. - Show me your phone.

Nia, what are you saying?

Show me your phone. - Nia.

You think you can snatch

my daughter. - Nia.

Nia!

Nia's mine.

Nia.

Nia.

Nia.

No.

I have come to get you Nia.

Mr. Sharma's a wise man.

He's helped many people.

He'll help you too.

Don't worry.

I've sent Nia to Akanksha's place.

Did you love your husband?

No. We were divorced.

And your daughter?

She loved her father.

That's why I abided by

this marriage for so long.

Your husband's back.

His love for his daughter

has brought him back.

But his heart's filled with hatred.

He has come to take

your daughter away.

So, under no condition

do you leave Nia alone.

Your husband's growing

powerful every day.

He won't wait too long.

- For what?

He doesn't belong

to this world now.

Human beings can't stop him.

Yes, but if he wants

to take Nia along..

..he'll need her permission.

Her love has brought him here.

But that love's kept him back.

- I don't get it.

The love between

you and your daughter.

Without breaking that..

..he cannot take Nia along,

or kill you.

But yes,

if he breaks that bond.. - But..

What if she starts

hating her father?

What can we do?

This is for your daughter.

And yes.

You two will have to play

along with Nia for few days.

She should feel that you believe..

..that she can talk to her father.

Yes.

I'm leaving for Haridwar tomorrow.

And, I'll talk to

my Guru about this.

He might have a solution.

Yes, I will.

Not Raddy bear. Barbie doll.

Nia, are you talking to papa.

Papa's promised he'll

get me a Barbie doll.

What else did papa say?

Papa's sent a message for me.

What?

He's coming to take me away.

Nia, let go off the phone.

Mama's got something for you.

I'm talking to papa. - Fine.

Then I won't give you your gift.

Gift? Show me.

First come here. - Bye, papa.

Good baby. - Show me the gift.

I don't want it.

Dear. - No.

Please, dear. - I don't want it.

It's good for you.

It's burning. - Listen.

You love, mama. Don't you?

Please.

Wear it for your mama.

But, it's burning.

Please, dear.

Don't ever take it off.

You are my good girl, don't you?

I'm going to play.

Hello.

Hello. - Hello.

Hey, Maya. Sorry to disturb you.

But.. - Pankaj.

Yes, it's me.

We need to mail the

Singapore client's designs.

And, until you don't make

the changes, we can't send them.

Okay.

I'm coming to the office.

I don't like this font.

And this colour,

it clashes with the background.

So, please ask them to change it.

I knew it. I already told them so,

Maya. - Okay.

And, the new colour sample

swatches will arrive tomorrow.

Awesome.

I'll be working on Martin's design.

So I'll be late.

Hello.

Hello.

Maya. - Hello, who is it?

I am coming. - Who?

I'm coming to get Nia.

Who is this?

Like I said.

- Who the hell is this?

Every night will

be filled with darkness.

I'm back.

Maya. - Hey! it's me!

What happen? Are you OK?

Pankaj.

Let's go.

Of course. Come.

I'll drop you. - Yeah.

Bye, Maya. - Bye.

Please take care.

Will my child sleep with me today?

Love you. Goodnight.

I won't come. You come.

You didn't bring my Barbie doll.

I won't come.

Come, papa. Please come up.

Nia. - No, you come up. - Nia.

I won't, you come up. - Nia baby.

Mama, tell papa I want to

play 'jump-jump'. - Please, dear.

You didn't get my Barbie doll.

I won't come with you.

Nia, listen.

Look at mama. - Papa wants to play.

Mama's coming. Don't move.

Mama's coming. - Come, papa.

Come on. - Please, Nia.

Mom. - What happened?

Let's go to Akanksha's house.

Now. - Why? What happened?

Come on.

Here.

Come Maya.

Here.

Maya.

She'll be safe.

Come.

This isn't an illusion.

Abhay's back.

Maya, you don't really

mean that, right?

I saw him myself.

First at Panchgani.

And today, he tried to kill Nia.

He wants to take her along.

And that priest, mom invited

home said the same thing.

If educated people

like us say such things..

..then people will call us crazy.

I don't care what people think.

I am not crazy.

Please guys.

You have to believe me.

There's nothing wrong with Nia.

I feel it too.

Whenever I am with Nia.

I can feel his presence around her.

Please relax.
