For this purpose he starts to make note of her every movement, and it is then that he finds out that she has an admirer in fellow-teacher, Yash, a dashing young man - with a bright future ahead of him. Shaukat also finds out that Antara has never mentioned Yash to him, nor has she informed Yash that she is married.

I won't let anything happen to you

Reality! Power of words!

What I write, turns true. What I

wrote about myself turned true too

coincidence!

What say?

What I conceive, will happen.

Do you hear?

Death! You will die

shut up

Hang on.

Leave me alone

Leave me alone

- Okay, leave him alone

Ask Antara. It happens

exactly like I write

Words won, finally.

Words snatched shaukat away from me

But I didn't give up.

I brought him to the asylum

see the power of words, Antara?

I made my words prove themselves

Welcome to shaukat's world

They want to see reality, eh

I have shown them reality

come on, shaukat

Tamanna...? Tamanna, you're back?

Take me home, Antara.

I don't like this place

You will go home.

I will take you back

I promise

Don't disturb me, doctor.

- Relax

Tamanna, tell them. Everything

I write turns true. Isn't it?

You're weeping, Antara?

Don't weep. Laugh...

with all your heart

The story isn't over yet.

It isn't, right Antara?

See me scream here!

See?

Will you dance with me

for the last time?

Will have the last dance with me

Please, Antara

"Here begins a new story of love"

"Distances are being bridged..."

"the chasm is disappearing"

"Tormented and torn apart,

I'd still wish to love you"

"Allow me to break down"

"count these blessed moments of love"

"cherish, hold these moments...

Iook, they are passing"

"something has come up, where..."

"words are lost,

and the meanings..."

"are slowly losing significance"

come back, shaukat.

The story of Tamanna and Yash is over

A new beginning and some new words,

wait for you
