Scene 1: The Struggle and The Lifeline Drain

  Ab Ray bhi hosh mein aa chuka hai aur wo jitna ho sake utni koshish kar raha hai ki un Guardians ko rok sake, taaki Daksh un mantron ko tod de aur in mantron ka asar khatam ho jaye.

  Ray un Guardians ko rokne ki koshish kar raha hai aur Tithya, Nain ko sambhalne ki koshish kar rahi hai. Par wo Nain ko ab sambhal nahi paa rahi hai kyunki uski shaktiyan aadhi ho gayi hain. Uski aadhi shaktiyon se Daksh us mantra wale ghere mein un mritakon (dead people) ka dil dhadkane ki koshish kar raha hai.

  Daksh apne ek haath ko apne dil par rakhta hai aur apne doosre haath ko us dead person ke dil par rakhta hai aur mehsoos kar raha hai ki uska dil dhadak raha hai. Daksh, Tithya ki shakti se us dead person ka dil dhadkane ki koshish karta hai aur tabhi Tithya ki shaktiyan kam padne lagti hain.

  Tithya (thak kar aur dard mein): "Daksh... tumhein jaldi karna hoga! Main ab aur nahi sambhal sakti hoon..."

  Ray (Tithya ki halat dekh kar): "Tithya! Khud ko sambhalo... humein Daksh ki madad karni hai!"

  Lekin halat tab aur bigad jati hai jab Nain, Tithya ko piche se pakad leti hai aur use hawa mein jakad kar uski Lifeline aur urja (energy) lene lagti hai. Jab Ray ka dhyan Nain aur Tithya par jata hai, to wo dekhta hai ki Nain, Tithya ki poori urja kheench rahi hai.

  Ray, Nain ko rokne ki koshish karta hai par wo Guardians, Ray ko rok lete hain aur wo Tithya ki madad nahi kar pata hai.

  Ray (zor se chillate hue): "Nain! Kya kar rahi ho tum? Tithya ko chhod do... please!"

  Scene 2: The Pulsing Heart and The Reverse Ritual

  Yahan Tithya ki shaktiyan lagatar kamzor pad rahi hain aur Nain ka khud par koi kaabu nahi hai. Ray chahkar bhi Tithya aur Nain ki madad nahi kar paa raha hai kyunki wo un mantron wale ghere mein phasa hai aur in mantron ko rokne ki koshish kar raha hai.

  Doosri taraf, Daksh poori koshish kar raha hai. Wo apni aur Tithya ki bachi-kuchi shaktiyon ko samet kar us mrit (dead) insaan ka dil dhadkane ki koshish mein juta hai. Daksh ka ek haath apne dil par hai aur doosra haath us mrit insaan ke dil par. Achanak, Daksh ki ungliyan thartharati hain... wo mehsoos karta hai ki us thande seene ke andar kuch halchal ho rahi hai. Uska dil dhadakne lagta hai!

  Jaise hi Daksh ko wo dhadkan mehsoos hoti hai, wo turant us Ajnabi Aadmi (Stranger) ki taraf dekhta hai aur kehta hai, "Iska dil dhadak raha hai! Par main zyada der tak aisa nahi kar paoonga... to aapko jo bhi karna hai, wo abhi hi karna hoga!"

  Wo Ajnabi Aadmi bade sukoon se uski taraf dekhta hai aur kehta hai, "Bahut acche Daksh. Bas isi tarah iska dil 5 minute tak dhadkate raho."

  Daksh ka chehra dard se peela padne lagta hai, wo chillakar kehta hai, "Mujhse nahi hoga! 5 minute bahut zyada hain mere liye. Tithya ki shaktiyan kamzor pad rahi hain aur main zyada der nahi rok paoonga is dil ki dhadkano ko!" Daksh ko samajh nahi aa raha ki aage kya hone wala hai, wo ghabra kar phir puchta hai, "Ab aap kya karne wale hain? Ab kya hoga? Maine iska dil dhadka diya hai, ab kya karna hai?"

  Ajnabi Aadmi sirf itna kehta hai, "Bas kuch der aur..." aur phir wo ek mantra padhna shuru kar deta hai. Wo Ajnabi un mantron ki madad se us mritak ghere aur poori vidhi (ritual) ko ulta (reverse) karne ki koshish kar raha hai. Daksh ghere ke andar baithkar poori jaan laga raha hai ki us mrit shareer mein dhadkan bani rahe.

  Wahi doosri taraf, Ray un Guardians ko poori taqat se door phenkta hai. Jaise hi wo Tithya ki madad ke liye uski taraf badhta hai, tabhi use hawa mein ek ajeeb si dhwani (sound) sunayi deti hai. Ray wahi ruk jata hai, wo mantron ki us ajeeb frequency ko apne andar mehsoos karta hai, jaise kuch bahut bada badalne wala ho.

  Scene 2 - Point 2: The Shattered Circle and The Energy Shift

  Ray, jo Tithya ki madad karne ja raha tha, ab apni jagah se hil bhi nahi paa raha hai. Wo jaise hi palat kar dekhta hai ki peeche kya ho raha hai, uske hosh udd jate hain. Wo dekhta hai ki wo mantra wala ghera achanak se hawa mein toot raha hai. Aur jo mantra padh raha Ajnabi Aadmi tha, wo hawa mein achanak se atak gaya hai. Bilkul waise hi jaise pehle Nain hawa mein akad gayi thi, waise hi wo aadmi bhi hawa mein atak jata hai... maano jaise wo mantra se bane ghere toot kar use andar se tod rahe hon.

  Ray dekhta hai ki Daksh bhi us toot-te bikharte mantron ke ghere ke andar hi hai. Ray bhagkar Daksh ki taraf jata hai use bachane ke liye, lekin wo pahunch nahi pata.

  Daksh, jo mantron ke toot-te ghere ke andar phasa hai, us Ajnabi se poochta hai, "Kya mantron ka asar toot gaya?"

  Wo Ajnabi chillakar kehta hai, "Daksh! Abhi ke abhi us mantron wale ghere mein se niklo!"

  Ray, Daksh ki taraf bhag hi raha hota hai ki tabhi wo toot-ta bikharta hawa mein mantron ka ghera Daksh ko itni zor se door phenkta hai ki Daksh seedha gufa ki deewar se ja takrata hai aur zameen par gir jata hai.

  Ray turant Daksh ke paas jata hai aur Daksh ko apni god mein uthata hai. Ray dekhta hai ki Daksh ke sir se bahut tezi se khoon beh raha hai aur uski kamar bhi poori tarah chhil gayi hai. Wo rote hue Daksh ko jhinjhodte hue kehta hai, "Daksh! Apni aankhein kholo... apni aankhein kholo Daksh! Tumhein kya hua?!" Ray use gale lagata hai aur "Please... please" keh kar use uthane ki koshish karta hai.

  Tabhi wo Ajnabi Aadmi Ray ko dekh kar kehta hai, "Ray! Daksh ki dhadkan suno... dekho wo zinda hai abhi ya nahi!"

  Ray gusse mein cheekhta hai, "Zinda se kya matlab hai tumhara?! Mera dost zinda hai! Use kuch nahi hua!"

  Wo mantron ka ghera abhi bhi hawa mein ajeeb tarike se toot raha hai aur wo Ajnabi mantron ko poori tarah se ulta kar deta hai. Wo mantron ki poori energy ko badal deta hai. Nain, jo Tithya ki lifeline aur urja kheench rahi thi, wo Ajnabi un mantron ki poori energy ko Nain ki taraf point out kar deta hai.

  Nain, jisne Tithya kopakad rakha hai, wo us poore mantron ki energy ko apne andar kheenchnay lagti hai. Jaise-jaise wo energy uske andar jati hai, Nain ki aankhein blink hone lagti hain... jaise koi gehri yaad ya koi sapna wo dekh rahi ho.

  Episode 13: Point 3 – The Heartbeat and The Library Memory

  Yeh Tithya ki shaktiyan kamzor pad rahi hain aur Nain ka khud par kaabu nahi hai. Ray chahkar bhi Tithya aur Nain ki madad nahi kar pa raha hai aur wahan mantron wale ghere mein hai jo in mantron ko rokne ki koshish kar raha hai. Daksh poori koshish kar raha hai. Aur jaise hi woh apni aur Tithya ki shaktiyon se us mrit insaan ka dil dhadkane ki koshish kar raha hai.

  The Scene: Daksh ka ek hath jo apne dil par hai, aur jo uska dusra hath us mrit insaan ke dil par hai, toh Daksh mehsoos karta hai ki uska dil dhadakta hai. Jaise hi Daksh uski dhadkan mehsoos karta hai, woh turant ajnabi aadmi ko kehta hai— "Iska dil dhadak raha hai par main zyada der tak nahi kar paunga, toh aapko jo bhi karna hai woh abhi hi karna hoga!"

  Nain, jo mantron ki energy ko apne andar sokh rahi hai, woh ek gehri yaad maano jaise kisi sapne ko dekh rahi hai. Woh dekhti hai ki ek bacchi badi si library aur kitabon ke beech-o-beech khadi hai aur kitabon se ghiri hui hai. Utne mein use ek awaaz sunayi deti hai— "Nain, my child."

  Nain jaise hi palat kar dekhti hai, ek white kapdon mein, gale mein Father collar, hath mein Father Jesus ka cross pakde hue ek old man, Nain ki taraf aakar kehta hai— "Nain, maine tumse kaha hai na my child, yahan aane ki kisi ko permission nahi hai." Nain kehti hai— "Par Grandpa, aapne toh kaha tha ki mujhe jo bhi chahiye aur jo bhi jahan bhi jana hai main ja sakti hoon."

  Utne mein Nain ki Mom piche se Nain ko awaaz dete hue aati hai— "Nain maine tumse kitni baar mana kiya hai, yun hath chhuda ke mat bhaga karo!" Itne mein Nain ke Dad bhi piche se aa jate hain aur woh kehte hain— "Tum yahan ho Nain? Dekho main tumhare liye kya laya." Nain turant bhag kar apne Dad ke paas jati hai. Nain ke Dad use god mein utha lete hain aur use chocolate dete hain.

  Episode 13: Point 4 – The Great Library and The Forbidden Power

  Nain ki Mom us old man se kehti hai— "I am sorry Father. Mujhe maaf karna, Nain din-par-din shaitan hoti ja rahi hai." Toh woh Father kehte hain— "Koi baat nahi, Nain mere liye meri grand-child jaisi hai." Toh Nain ki Mom kehti hai— "Father aap bahut zyada kind hain, par Nain bahut zyada badmash hoti ja rahi hai, aap please use thoda danta kijiye."

  Toh piche se Nain ke Father aakar kehte hain— "Honey tum kise complain kar rahi ho? Father ek High Priest hain aur inhe bacche utne hi pasand hain jitna ki inhe Jesus se pyar hai. Yeh bacche ko kabhi nahi dant sakte. Agar tum chahti ho ki Nain ko discipline aaye toh tumhe khud hi use sikhana hoga, Father ismein kuch nahi kahenge." Nain, jo apne Father ki god mein hai, woh kehti hai— "Grandpa mujhe kabhi nahi dantenge! Grandpa mujhse bahut pyar karte hain, hai na Grandpa?" Toh High Priest Father kehte hain— "Of course my child."

  Nain niche utar kar High Priest yaani ki Father ki god mein jakar kehti hai— "Grandpa mujhe aapki woh Great Library mein jana hai." Toh Nain ki Mom use dante hue use kehti hai— "Nain tum Father se is tarah se baat nahi kar sakti ho, samajh gayi?" Toh High Priest Father kehte hain— "Koi baat nahi, main bhi abhi library hi ja raha hoon. Kuch der ke liye main Nain ko apne saath le jaunga. Yeh wahan thodi der rahegi toh isse kuch bigad nahi jayega." Par Nain ki Mom kehti hai— "Father woh aapki Great Library hai!" Toh High Priest Father kehte hain— "Agar woh meri Great Library hai iska matlab yeh nahi ki wahan jane ki kisi ko permission nahi hai. Aur waise bhi Nain meri grand-child hai, main use kisi bhi cheez ke liye kaise mana kar sakta hoon?"

  High Priest Father Nain ko church ki purani aur sabse b

  adi library mein le jate hain. Nature se judi aur Bible, Greek Mythology aisi kai saari purani kitabein us library mein hain. Jab Nain Father se pucchti hai ki library mein itni saari kitabein kyun hain, toh High Priest Father kehte hain— "Nain, is library mein bahut purani kitabein hain jo humein batati hain hum apni zindagi mein kya karna chahiye aur kya nahi." Nain kehti hai— "Kya isiliye yahan par itni kitabein hain?" High Priest Father kehte hain— "Yes My child." Toh Nain kehti hai— "Toh kya main bhi inmein se kisi ek kitab ko padh sakti hoon?"

  High Priest Father kehte hain— "Nain, tum kaun si kitab padhna chahti ho?" Toh is par Nain kehti hai— "Grandpa aapko koi kitab chahiye na? Aap mujhe batao main aapko woh kitab lakar doongi." Toh High Priest Father kehte hain— "Oh my child, koi baat nahi main khud le loonga, thik hai." Toh Nain 'okay' kehkar library ke dusri taraf chali jati hai aur High Priest Father apne kaam mein lag jate hain.

  Tabhi ek awaaz High Priest Father ko sunayi deti hai aur achanak se poori library hilne lagti hai. High Priest Father darr jate hain aur jaise hi woh Nain ki taraf bhagte hain taki woh Nain ko bacha sakein, unhe lagta hai yeh koi earthquake yaani ki bhookamp hai. Par woh jaise hi Nain ki taraf aate hain, toh woh dekhte hain ki Nain ke hath mein ek kitab hai aur kai saari kitabein Nain ke irad-gird ghoom rahi hain! Aur Nain ki aankhon ka rang bhi badal gaya hai par woh khatarnak nahi lag rahi hain par woh kisi jaduyi shakti ka roop zaroor lag rahi hain. Par usne anjane mein ek pracheen kitab ke un mantron ko samajh liya hai jinhe aaj ke zamane mein koi bhi nahi samajh sakta, par Nain ne anjane mein kar dikhaya.

  Jab High Priest yeh dekhte hain toh woh Nain ko apne gale se laga lete hain aur woh bahut pyar se kehte hain— "Nain, tumne abhi jo bhi dekha ya jo bhi suna woh tum kisi ko bhi nahi bataogi, thik hai?" Nain sirf 7 saal ki hai, woh nahi janti hai ki anjane mein usne kya kar diya hai, par use yeh ehsas hai ki usne kuch aisa kar diya hai jo thik nahi. Par Nain apne Grandpa ki aankhon mein darr ki bajaye uske liye chinta dekhti hai. Par Nain darr ke maare behosh ho jati hai, par use ek dim si awaaz sunayi deti hai— "Nain, tum chahe ab jeevan mein jo bhi karogi main hamesha tumhare saath hoon meri bacchi. Main yeh toh nahi janta ki tum God ka koi gift ho ya kuch aur ho, mujhe tum par poora bharosa hai ki tum kuch bhi galat nahi karogi. Tum hamesha yaad rakhna ki tumhare Grandpa aur jo tumse pyar karte hain aur jo tumhare dost hain aur tumhare mata aur pita bhi tumhare saath hain, toh kabhi bhi mat darna thik hai meri bacchi." Par jab Nain darr kar behosh hui toh woh sab bhool gayi ki usne kya kiya aur usne kya suna, par use yeh hamesha se ehsas tha ki koi cheez hai jiski use raksha karni hai.

  Episode 13: Point 5 – The Return and The New Enemy ??

  Ab Nain ko hosh aa raha hai. Jaise hi woh poori energy apne andar sokhti hai, waise hi uski saari shaktiyan aur uski woh saari yaadein wapas aane lagti hain. Uska ab khud par poora control hai. Woh jaise hi hosh mein hoti hai, woh dekhti hai woh hawa mein hai aur usne Tithya ko bahut kas ke pakad rakha hai. Jaise hi uski pakad Tithya se hat-ti hai, Tithya zameen par girne wali hi hoti hai ke Nain usko turant pakad leti hai.

  Nain dekhti hai ki Tithya ki halat bahut buri hai. Tithya ki aankhein andar ghus gayi hain aur uski aankhon ke niche kaale dhabbe pad gaye hain. Aisa lag raha hai ki Tithya ki poori shakti aur uski jaan nichod li gayi ho. Uski poori shareer par kaale dhabbe aur gehri kaali zakhmo ke nishan hain. Nain ko andaza hota hai ki yeh sab Tithya ke saath usi ne kiya hai. Par use yakeen nahi hota ki itna kuch uske karne ke baad bhi Tithya ne use ek baar bhi nuksan nahi pahunchaya. Woh Tithya ko gale lagati hai aur kehti hai— "Tithya main tumhe kuch bhi nahi hone doongi."

  Utne mein Nain ko us ajnabi ki awaaz sunayi deti hai— "Nain kya yeh tum ho?" Toh Nain kehti hai— "Kya yeh sab Tithya ke saath maine kiya hai?" Toh woh ajnabi kehta hai— "In sab baaton ka samay nahi hai hamare paas." Nain kehti hai— "Matlab?" Utne mein uska dhyan Ray aur Daksh par jata hai. Woh dekhti hai ki Daksh poori tarah zakhmi hai aur Ray ro raha hai. Nain Ray ko awaaz deti hai aur kehti hai— "Kya tum dono thik ho?" Ray hairan hokar Nain ki taraf dekhta hai aur pucchta hai— "Kya yeh tum ho Nain?"

  Nain Ray se pucchti hai— "Kya Daksh thik hai?" Ray roti awaaz mein kehta hai— "Daksh ke sir se bahut khoon beh raha hai." Aur Ray Nain se aage pucchta hai— "Kya Tithya thik hai?" Toh Nain kehti hai— "Tithya ki halat thik nahi hai hum yahan se jitni ho sake toh jaldi nikalna hoga." Par utne mein woh mantra wala aadmi khada ho jata hai aur apni darawni awaaz mein kehta hai— "Yeh tumne thik nahi kiya." Nain kehti hai— "Yeh toh wahi mantra wala aadmi hai jo mantra padh raha tha." Aur Nain aage kehti hai— "Par yeh is tarah khada kyun ho gaya?" Toh is par Ray kehta hai— "Yeh bahut lambi kahani hai Nain."

  Nain aage kehti hai— "Woh sab toh thik hai Ray par ab humein kya karna hai?" Toh Ray kehta hai— "Kya karna hoga ise dekhkar toh lag raha hai ki humein isse ladna hoga. Agar hum yahan se bahar nikalna chahte hain toh pehle ise hatana hoga." Toh Nain khali Ray ki taraf hairani se dekhti hai. Utne mein woh ajnabi kehta hai— "Ise hatana itna bhi aasaan nahi hoga." Toh Ray kehta hai— "Aakhir aap Guardian kis baat ke hain? Agar aap na isse lad sakte hain na hi humein bacha sakte hain. Agar humein sab kuch khud hi karna hai toh aapka kya hi fayda Guardian hone ka!"

  Nain kehti hai— "Behas karne ka time nahi hai Ray. Waise toh mujhe nahi pata ki yahan kya chal raha hai, par agar Tithya aur Daksh ko kisne kharonch pahunchayi toh main use nahi chhodungi!" Itna kehkar Nain ki aankhon ka rang badal jata hai. Daksh dekhkar ghabra jata hai aur kehta hai— "Arey phir se nahi! Kya tum thik ho?" Nain kehti hai— "Pehle se bhi zyada!" Daksh halki si muskurahat deta hai aur kehta hai— "Bahut acche." Par us Guardian kehta hai— "Agar tum log taiyar ho toh... Tithya aur Ray ka dhyan main rakhunga." Ray kehta hai— "Isse zyada ki toh aapse umeed bhi nahi hai!" Toh us Guardian kehta hai— "Dhyan do Ray." Ray dheemi awaaz mein kehta hai— "Kya tum taiyar ho Nain?"
