The
screen fades to black as Shaukat calms down. When we fade back in, it is now
night time. Shaukat is asleep on the floor, and Antara is a few feet behind him.
She thinks to herself that she hopes her faith in her husband can see them
through this, then we fade back out again. The next fade in shows us that
morning has broken, and Shaukat is up. He's sitting on the floor with his arms
around his knees, rocking back and forth. He looks as if he's been crying, and
is rather sweaty. He calls out to Antara to wake up, as she is sleeping on the
floor where we saw her in the last scene.
Antara
looks up at him with a hopeful expression, but it doesn't last long. Shaukat
asks her if she was able to find the last page. He tells her that he hopes she
did, or else he will go insane. She tries to convince him that he won't, but he
tells her that words are very powerful. She asks him to come to his senses, but
it seems to be too late for that. He says he looked for the page all night
because he wants to change the end. He doesn't want to kill anyone. Antara tells
him that he hasn't, but he firmly believes that Yash is really dead.
He begins rebuking himself for ever telling her to do what he did. He asks
why she never said no, or never said that she loved him. Antara, reaching a
state of agitation tells him now that she loves him and that she won't let
anything happen to him. Nothing Antara says gets through to him. Shaukat says
that he wants to burn the book so that it doesn't happen, causing Antara to
literally scream into his face that she loves him and won't let anything happen
to him.
All
of her attempts do no good. He looks off into the distance and says that he can
see his future coming for him, and he doesn't want it to take him. Antara hugs
him close and tries to calm him down, but he seems inconsolable. Finally the
screen fades to black, eventually reopening on a scene showing a large stone
building with a voice-over from Shaukat. He tells us that words are powerful
things. What he wrote, came true. What he wrote about himself came true as well.
We see him sitting in a barber's seat next to a long haired man with a beard.
Shaukat looks at him for a moment, then leans forward to grab a straight-razor.
He lunges for the man's throat, causing the long haired man to literally start
shrieking like a chimpanzee. He yells at the man that he will die, and that
everything he writes comes true. Finally the staff comes in and gets everyone
calmed down. Shaukat is escorted out of the barbershop by some burly men while
all of the visuals take on a slightly distorted, perhaps drugged look.
We
go to Antara's voice-over. She is seen approaching the asylum with some folders.
She explains that finally "the words" won out over Shaukat, but she didn't give
up on him. She brought him to get help, and comes to see him as often as
possible. On this visit, Shaukat still goes on about how his words became
reality, then confuses her with Tamanna. The staff begins to take him away, and
he tells Antara that he doesn't like it here, and wants to go home. She promises
that she will take him home one day.
As he is being led away, he calls out her name over a long distance, just
like Yash did. He says that he can do those things too. Then he asks her to
dance with him one last time. She runs to him and they have a little swaying
time before Antara's final voice-over. She tells Shaukat to come back soon. The
story of Tamanna and Yash is over. A new beginning, and some new words, await
him.
The first few credits appear, then we have one final shot of Yash riding a
bike past the camera, just to let us know that he is indeed doing fine.
The End!
