Some days passed....

Samaina are happily staying there unaware the presence of something. Sometimes naina feels strange things going around her but she neglected that. Sameer also feels the same. Whenever he is alone in their room that jasmine perfume fragrance filled in his nose strils which is very hard. At that moment he decided to ask naina about that but that question vanished from him mind when he us about to ask her.

It's routine of naina. After leaving of sameer she completed her some works and walks towards Sadhana's home. There she spends quality time with her in her beautiful garden which is covered with different kinds of flowers. Sadhna always gives her white roses when she coming back to home.

One night....

It's heavily raining since morning, sameer didn't go outside and also naina didn't go to meet Sadhna that day. At night after having mouthwatering dinner and spending lovely time in balcony now Samaina are sleeping peacefully in their bed. In mid night finally rain stops, Naina's eyes shot open, she wants to have some water but she forgot to put it before. She get down from bed and walks down towards kitchen. She takes water bottle from fridge and poured it in one glass. She gulped down the water slowly just then her eyes fell on something through the window which is in the garden.

There is few burning candles in garden under the big neem tree. She put down the glass and looks at the direction closely leaning towards window.

Naina- ye yaha candles kaun jala k gya? Wo bhi itni raat ko...

Inside their bedroom....

Sameer is sleeping peacefully, but the hard fragrance of jasmine perfume make him awake with jerk...

Sameer- aahh... Ye khushbu... Mera dimag kharab kar deti hai... Na jane kaha se aati hai humare garden me bhi jasmine nahi hai fir bhi.... Aaj finally naina se puchh hi leta hu... Nai.....!

He looks at his side to call naina but stopped at middle because she is not there.

Sameer- arey ab ye kaha chali gayi...? Itni raat ko..? Sameer tu na pagala gya hai. Kaha gyi hogi..! Pani lene hi gayi hogi... Aati hi hogi ..

He sit there waiting for her.

Here, downstairs...

Naina is still in kitchen and looking at the burning candles. She finds someone is sitting there and it's back facing towards her.

Naina- kaun baitha hai waha itni raat ko. Aur humare ghar me kaise aaya? Mujhe sameer ko uthana chahiye... Nahi wo kumbhkarn kaha uthane wala itne jaldi. I think mujhe hi chal ke dekhna chahiye!

She comes outside of kitchen and moves towards main door. She opens the door and says.

Naina- kaun hai waha par...? Aur ander kaise aaye...? Ye candles kyu jala rakha hai...?

There is no movement.

Naina- maine puchha kaun hai waha..?

The person slowly get up from ground...

And still getting up in air...

Naina's eyes gone wide and sweat formed on her forehead....

She is trembling in fear...

That black shadow in now still in air many meters up from ground...

Naina calls sameer in choked voice....

Naina- sam... Sameer.......!

The shadow comes towards her slowly floating in air...

Sameer feels something strange why naina didn't come yet. So he get down from bed and runs downstairs with speed of light.

Coming in living room he found naina is standing at main door looking outside. He calls her..!

Sameer- naina...!

Naina turns immediately amd runs towards him she holds hi hand and say in choked tone.

Naina- sameer... Sameer... Waha koi hai...! Humare garden me... Koi hai... Aur... Wo... Wo hawa... Me udd raha hai... Candles... Candles jal rahi hai waha...!

Sameer- what..? Chalo dekhte hai...

Naina-nnn... Nahi... Sameer please mat jao... Mujhe... Mujhe dar lag raha hai...

Sameer- kuch nahi hoga mai hu na chalo...!

Sameer moves towards the door holding naina from her shoulder. And when they looks at that direction there is Nothing. No candles are burning there.

Sameer- naina yaha to kuch bhi nhi hai... Dekho...

Naina looked up and literally there is nothing. She looks here and there but there is no sign of a single candle.

Sameer- tumhe koi galatfehmi hui hogi. Chalo ander...

Naina- nahi sameer mujhe koi galatfehmi nahi hui thi. Wha sach me candles the aur kuch to tha jo hawa me udd raha tha. Ho sakta hai... Ho sakta bai jab mai ander gyi to wo bhag gya ho.

Sameer- thik hai tha waha pe kuch... Ab chalo sone mai subah pata karunga ki kaun aaya tha aur mai main gate ka lock bhi change kar dunga... Chalo...

They turned towards inside, naina looked back towards that direction. And what she found....

The smoke which is comes out after blowing off the candle are visible and the shadow is still there......

Naina turns her head immediately towards sameer and he closed the door after coming inside.

In morning...

Naina is still in bed sleeping peacefully. Sameer get up and make adarak tea for her he knows that she definitely had a head ache because she didn't sleep well last night. He wished her good morning entering in room after finding her sitting and looking lazily to him. He make her have tea.

Sameer left for office after having breakfast which is prepared by mohan. Naina is sitting on couch and thinking about last night incidents. She is confident that what she seen last night was not hallucination. She is getting irritated by her brain storm and decide to meet Sadhna dadi. Also she want to go market to take some stuff for Sameer's birthday.

She walks to Sadhana dadi, as always she is in her garden tending her flowers. Her face lit after seeing naina.

Sadhna- are naina beta...! Aao..! Kal to nahi aa payi thi barish ki vajah se..

Naina- haan dadiji...

Sadhna- waise bhut sunder lag rahi ho saree me.

Naina thanked her for her compliment. As always they chit-chat for sometime and naina excuses herself as she have to visit market. She gives her white roses as always and naina left from there.

It's late evening...

Or you can say night...

Clock hits 10 p.m. but sameer didn't come home yet. Naina is waiting for him desperately b'coz some flashes of last night incident comes front of her eyes. But distracting her mind she decided to watch movie. She is busy in movie forgetting about everything. Door bell sound make her come back from filmy world. She glanced at clock its 11p.m. And now her naina devi mode is on. She is getting hell angry. She opens the door, looks at him with anger, sameer gives her toothy smile and he try to hug her but jerked off by his grumpy wife.

He comes inside and put his office bag and jacket on couch before spreading himself on it. He lossed his tie and throw it. Naina is watching his actions standing near him, her arms locked around her chest.

Naina- mujhe laga ab tum kal office ka kam kar k hi ghar aaoge...!

Sameer-sorry naina... Wo actually kuch business friends ne get together rakha liya aur mai mana bhi nahi kar paya.

Naina- really... Matlab tumhe zara si bhi fikr thi meri.. mai yaha akele hu. Itni raat hogyi hai...

Sameer- come on yar naina... Roz to mai sirf tumhare liye working hours khatam hone se pehle ghar k liye nikal jata hu aaj thoda late ho gya.. isme itna bhadakne jaisa kya hai...!

Naina- bhadakne jaisa kya hai...? Sameer tumhe andaza bhi hai mai kaise thi itne der yaha akele. Ek to yaha dur dur tak koi nahi hawa bhi chalti hai to lagta koi hai aas pass.

Sameer- tumhe hi rehna tha na nature k karib to raho... Aur please mera mood mat kharab karo...

Naina- tumhara mood... Really...! Mood to tumne mera kharab kar diya...!

Sameer- bas mai jaa raha hu sone tumhari bakwas aur nahi sunni mujhe.

Naina- kaha jaa rahe ho..! Khana to khate jao!

Sameer- mai khana khaa ke aaya hu!

He moves upstairs without looking at her once. Naina broke into tears and moves towards kitchen to keep dinner in fridge. When she entered in room she found him sleeping at his side. His back facing her. She changed herself in comfortable clothes and lay down on bed at her side looking at ceiling soon she drift in deep sleep......

In mid night.....

Sameer wake up with jerk as the jasmine perfume hits again him.

He sits up and gulp water from bottle...

His eyes fell on door step...

There is naina standing back facing him...

She is wearing red lehenga and looks like bride with full jwellery....

She covers her face with Veil...

Long veil ....

Sameer- tumhe pata hai kaise manana hai apne sameer ko haan...

He put the bottle on side table and get down from bed...

Naina step out of room...

Without saying a word...

Sweet twinkling sound of her anklet make him crazy...

He walks behind her...

Naina slowly comes downstairs....

Keeping her face safe under the veil...

As sameer step out of room...

Naina turns her side on bed....

SHE IS SLEEPING ON BED....

IN ROOM...

Here Sameer is still walking behind her...

WHICH IS DEFINITELY NOT NAINA.....

Sameer is walking behind her like hypnotic person.

They are now in living room.

He wispers...

Sameer- naina....!

She stopped in her way..

For some second then she starts walking towards main door...

Without looking at him...

He is also walks behind her...

She unlocked the door and step out.

He is 8-9 step behind her...

He is about to take a step ahead just then his hand hits the vase.

Which is fall on ground and the white Roses scattered near his feet.

Broke his reverie...

He sits on his knees to clean the mess.

And while doing that when he looks at her direction...

She is vanished....

The flowers he is holding in his hand fell on floor...

Jasmine fragrance is fade from air...

He immediately close the door and run towards his room...

After reaching there he switched on the lights and the scene he found front of his eyes drained all color from his face.
