Hearing the name Shiv Thakur, Ayaan is shocked. Just then, Rishabh takes the phone from Ayaan and puts the call on speaker as he says...
Rishabh:
"Hello, what name did you say?"
Shiv Thakur:
"Shiv Thakur. I saw your reel; you do decoration very well."
Rishabh:
"Thank you, sir."
Shiv Thakur:
"So I am hosting a party on Christmas. Will you people decorate?"
Pankaj:
"Of course, sir. We definitely will."
Shiv Thakur:
"Okay, then I will email the rest of the information and your tickets."
As soon as the call ends, the three of them start dancing in happiness, because they had received the contract for the party of the son of Mumbai's biggest industrialist.
But Rishi, who was standing outside the office, freezes in place when he hears Shiv's voice. There are tears in his eyes, and his whole body is trembling.
In front of his eyes, he begins to see dark shadows laughing, and he starts hearing voices...
Unknown Voices:
"Maa... why are you sad... Maasa..."
The three of them (Ayaan, Rishabh, and Pankaj) are about to open the office door and go outside to tell Rishi the news when they see him standing there.
Rishi is trembling, tears in his eyes. Seeing him like that, Pankaj says...
Pankaj:
"Rishi... what happened?... Rishi... hey
Rishi..."
Rishi comes back from his thoughts, wipes his tears, and forces a fake smile onto his face.
Rishabh:
"Bro, what happened?... Why were you crying?"
Rishi:
"(Laughing) I... I was just acting."
Saying this, Rishi starts laughing loudly at the three of them. They also begin to laugh.
Pankaj:
"(Laughing) Do you know... how big of a—"
Rishi:
"Yes, I know... I heard everything."
After saying this, Rishi disappears. The three of them feel something strange, but they do not understand anything, and after a while they return to their work.
It is 8 PM. The three of them are working in the office when they receive an email from Shiv.
In the email are the plane tickets for the three of them and train tickets for their team. The party is going to be held at Shiv's farmhouse in Udaipur.
They inform their team and pack their bags as well.
It is now 10 PM. The three of them start preparing for dinner. They cannot see Rishi anywhere. They search for him throughout the house, but they cannot find him anywhere.
It is 12 midnight. The sky is filled with dark rain clouds. Lightning flashes across the sky. In the light of that lightning, a dark shadow can be seen on the water tank. A strong wind is blowing.
Rishi is standing on the tank. He cannot understand anything. In restlessness, he keeps walking back and forth on the tank. Tears are continuously flowing from his eyes. The wind is so strong that it wipes those tears away.
After some time, heavy rain begins to fall. Rishi sits down on the water tank and starts crying loudly.
It is now 3 AM. The rain has stopped, but the weather is still bad, and strong winds are blowing. Rishi comes into the living room and sits sadly on the sofa.
The three of them have long since fallen asleep. After a while, Rishi stands up. There are tears in his eyes. He walks toward the room where the three of them are sleeping.
The room door is open. The three of them are asleep. Rishi enters the room and looks at them with tears in his eyes.
Rishi wants to talk to them, but he is unable to speak. Tears are flowing from his eyes. He stretches his hand forward.
But then he stops himself. After looking at them for a while and wiping his tears, Rishi goes back to the living room and sits on the sofa.
It is now 8 in the morning. The three of them come out, ready to leave. Rishi is sitting on the sofa, laughing.
Ayaan:
"What are you laughing at? Aren't you coming?"
Rishi:
"(Laughing) No, I will stay here."
Rishabh:
"(Angrily) Stop talking nonsense."
Rishi:
"(Angrily) I said I am not going, so I am not going."
Pankaj:
"(Angrily) I don't know what has happened to you. If he doesn't want to come, then let him stay."
Saying this, Pankaj walks out angrily. Ayaan and Rishabh follow him.
Now Rishi is alone at home. He becomes sad again. Tears start flowing from his eyes. He cannot bear his pain. He throws the things around the house and falls to the ground, crying loudly...
Rishi:
"(Crying) Why...? Why is all this happening only to me...? Who am I...?"
