Life seems so easy.

Well.. thank you.

Like always, the pleasure

is entirely mine.

Hey, are you the messenger?

Yeah, this is for you.

Can you just sign here?

- Yeah

Thank you.

'Today in the morning

I saw lovely roses.'

'l was afraid people

will misunderstand.'

'So I am sending chocolates.'

Hope you like them instead.

If moon had recommended me.

It would have given me fire.

Forgoing shyness.

I want to make a mistake.

I want to destroy myself.

Wife.. do you know?

I have received an offer

from South Hampton.

The liked some of my scripts.

Before I am in double mind.. I

thought I will burn everything.

How was your business trip?

What business trip? I was in Goa

with my boyfriend. Holiday.

Beach.

Why are you afraid?

I won't beat you.

If I killed you then..

with whom will l..

..discuss the endings of my stories.

You.. do something.. you..

go to sleep.

You sleep upstairs. I..

will sleep down.

Won't be more than half an hour.

I won't be more than half an hour.

So.

You have nothing to say.

What do you want me to say?

What do you want me to do?

Meet you tomorrow at 5.30

so you can say I love you.

Then I go home. Is

that what you want?

Where are you going?

Don't walk away from me?

Now that you have had your fun..

..are you going to

walk away from me?

You are nothing but a spineless,

selfish coward..

..and I never want to see you again!

Listen to me. Wait!

What should I do?

What should I do? Kill Nandini!

Kill Rahul!

I don't care what you do, okay.

I just want you to be

honest with yourself.

Either I live like a

coward or a murderer!

Pick your choice!

Preeti! Preeti!

Listen to me!

I don't want to talk to you!

Please come with me.

I don't have anything

to say to you, okay.

I have something to say,

please come with. Please.

Please come with me.

Please.

I have decided.. that l

won't live like a coward.

We won't meet each other for a year.

Gifts, photos, letters.

Anything that connects

us, destroy it.

The court case will go on

for at least 6 months.

And till the time Rahul..

and Nandini are alive..

..we are strangers for each other.

After a year.. we will

meet in Mauritius.

After that where will

we go, I don't know.

Media, police.. no matter

what the situation is..

..you won't try to contact me.

I just hope.. we.. you are

able to hold your nerve.

How will you meet Rahul?

Send him for South Hampton

meeting.. by train.

I will meet him in the train.

But.. the tickets will

come in the records.

What if somebody recognised you?

Francis was saying there is a

publishing house in South Hampton.

They are looking for writes.

See if you want to go.

My name is wrongly written in this.

Perry.

It's okay.

What's in the name!

'And you have still not

told me your name.'

'There is no truth. Truth

is what we believe in.'

'It's a beautiful place. Have

you ever been to Goa?'

'Yes. I have been there..

when I was in lndia.'

'Your and Preeti's relationship

is completely ruined.'

'Leave her!'

'l don't know.. whether I am

telling the truth or not.'

'But even I can't leave Preeti.'

All I can say is that, sometimes..

..you should listen to what the

wind says, and follow it.'

'Our meeting is not a co-incidence.'

'Even if it is.. then there

is a purpose behind it.'

'What if I say.. I can help

you get rid of Preeti?'

'Nandini is at home the whole day.'

'All the neighbours go for work.'

'You kill Nandini. And

I will kill Preeti.'

What happened?

The cat died.

The one that used to

come here for food.

I gave her milk this evening.

And she died.

I don't know what happened?

Even if the milk gets spoiled still

it doesn't become poisonous.

Am I right?

Rahul! When I was

crossing the road..

..a man almost ran his car over me!

He didn't even stop to say sorry.

He almost ran me over.

What is going on, Rahul?

Where have you been?

Where were you the whole night?

When I returned home there

was no electricity!

When I went in the kitchen

searching for a candle..

..the whole place was full of gas.

All the burners were on!

It can't be a mistake, Rahul.

Rahul! Someone trying to kill me.

We have got to call the police.

Listen to me.

Don't you see what's happening

I know you don't love me.

But I didn't know you

hate me so much..

..that you will want me dead!

Rahul!

Are you trying to kill me?

No, it 3.25.

'You know my name.'

'Don't you know my name?'

'You got scared when

you saw my luggage.'

'Thinking you are alone,

you started sweating.'

Are you scared of something?

'Reading your name I realized that..

..this is going to be a

journey of a lifetime.'

'Have you read this story before?'

'There is a thief in everybody's

heart, am I right, Mr. Rai?'

'Where are you going?

- Goa!'

All the best.

'You are fooling me.'

'This one please, for my wife.'

'This is for me, it's so special.'

'Where did you get it made?'

'You like it, that's

all that matters.'

I will miss you!

I will miss you!

'When I was young, there

were times when I would..

..close my eyes take a deep

breath, and hold it.

'Wishing that everything around me..

..would come to a stand still.

' could never hold my

breath long enough.'
