We cut to the boat that Sunil mentioned in the cottage earlier. Kiran is
seated on a bench seat at the rear of the boat. She hears the motor start and
feels the boat moving, and she looks up in surprise. How she failed to notice
someone clearing the moorings, boarding the boat, and entering the cabin that's
right in front of her is a mystery for the ages. (sigh) She gets up and takes a
few steps towards the cabin and calls out Sunil's name. The man in the cabin
turns to face her, and she sees that it's Rahul, still looking pretty torn up
after his tussle with Sunil.
Kiran
asks him how he was injured, and he tells her that the wounds have been there
for ages. They've only recent come to the surface from his heart. Sensing
something might be a little fishy about this, she asks him where Sunil is. Rahul
coyly tells her that Sunil won't be joining them, as he's dead. Kiran tells him
that he's crazy, and he agrees with her. He tells her that she's been his
madness and his obsession for years. He then rolls out his now quite worn
catch-phrase, "I love you, K-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-iran!" Finally the reality of
her predicament hits her like a ton of bricks and she passes out, hitting the
deck fairly hard. Rahul throws some water on her face and she snaps right out of
it. He begins reflecting on how they were in college, and he can recall
everything about what she was wearing and how she acted.
Rahul
gets a little too close to Kiran at this point, and she hops to her feet. She
tries to get away from Rahul, but he corners her and tells her that she's now
free from the one who misled her all along. She refuses to believe what he is
saying, so he adds that he has killed Sunil. Kiran doesn't buy that one either,
and tells Rahul that no one can kill Sunil. Rahul then lists all of the people
that have died because of her - the policemen in the elevator, Vicky, and
finally Sunil. He says that if she doesn't do ask he asks, then there's no
telling how many more people he's going to have to kill.
Kiran brings up Sunil again, sending Rahul into a rage. He slaps her across
the face and immediately begs for forgiveness. Kiran is crying frantically at
this point, and begs Rahul to leave her alone. He tells her he can do anything
for her except that. He's come too far and done too much to get to her, and he
can't give up now. He tells her to get up and change into the sari that he hands
to her. He explains that this was the same sari that his mother wore on her
wedding day, and now her new daughter-in-law will wear it. He shoos her into the
cabin below the deck to get ready.
Kiran
plods into the cabin like a zombie as Rahul makes another imaginary phone call
to his dead mother on a phone in the cabin. He tells "mom" about the wedding
that is about to take place. Kiran can hear him speaking, and hears him say that
they're going to meet his mother after the wedding. Realizing that things are
looking pretty grim here, Kiran wipes her tears and decides that she's going to
do something to stop this. She heads up the short staircase to the main cabin as
Rahul is busy setting out wedding implements on the main deck. Kiran takes the
key out of the ignition, which draws Rahul's attention. He chases after her as
she heads back downstairs and locks the door to the small room. Rahul pounds on
the door for a few moments as Kiran leans up against it. Eventually he tires and
goes back out to finish setting up the wedding stuff. He decides she's feeling
shy and timid, so he leaves her to her business.
Time
passes, and Kiran hasn't left her room. It is now dark outside, and it begins
raining. Rahul had nodded off, but the rain awakens him. He notices that he's
still alone, so he heads down to the door to check on things. Meanwhile, Kiran
hears her special radio watch start beeping! She leaps to her feet, thrilled at
the idea of Sunil coming to her rescue. Rahul hears her through the door and
begins pounding on it with his head.
Rahul finally puts a boot to the door and kicks it in. He grabs Kiran's arm
and drags her out of the room and up to the deck for the wedding ceremony. Kiran
tries to take the reasonable approach, and says that if one were to think about
it, this marriage would have problems. (I don't know, she may be on to something
there.) He tells her that it's going to happen as it is their destiny. Kiran
then tries another approach - okay, we'll get married, but why not wait until
they are back in India with all of their family members around and do things
right. Rahul ponders this for a moment before rejecting that idea too. Still
stalling, Kiran says they should at least wait until the storm passes. Rahul
says that he wants the storm to witness how they will be wed.
As he is carrying on, Kiran takes the opportunity to throw the boat key
overboard. Rahul turns back to her and says she really should get changed, as
his mother is waiting for the wedding to begin.
