The fortune teller says that Antara has something to lose, and something to gain. She also says that she can discover a crucial truth, and asks her if she wants to know what it is. We don't get to find out her reply, since we cut back to the house where Shaukat is enjoying another Book Vision. This leads us into the next musical number, "Bolo To Bolo Na." One item about this one - there's an awful lot of shirtless people writhing around in this song. For a moment, I thought I had switched movies. As you can see, Yash and Antara are getting quite close in this song, and we can see that Antara is having a hard time making up her mind.

We
also see a few shots of Shaukat at home in Book Vision, where he is encouraging
Tamanna to go farther with BV Yash.
However, the longer he looks at them the
clearer the picture gets. We see Tamanna and BV Yash in color now, and the
letters that were predominant in the previous Book Visions are now faded and
blue. As Shaukat looks on, he can clearly see that Tamanna is actually Antara,
and he is horrified at what he has brought about.
Things may get a tad confusing here, so I will do my best to make it clear what is happening. Lots of conversations are happening inside people's heads after this, so I'll assign appropriate names where I can.
Shaukat begins talking to himself as if he was two people. The Shaukat that is Antara's husband begins to debate with the Shaukat that is trying to write the story. Author Shaukat congratulates Husband Shaukat on successfully turning his story into a reality. Husband Shaukat asks how he could do this. After all, Antara is his wife. Why would he want her to love someone else? Author Shaukat says that while Antara might be a wife to Husband Shaukat, she is merely a character in his story and the tale must go on until it ends. Author Shaukat apologizes to Husband Shaukat, but starts typing another page.
Back on the date, Yash is asking Antara why she never invites him over, and if she is hiding something from him. She tells him, "Probably." He asks why she would do such a thing, and she tells him that's just how she wants things to be. He relents, but before she leaves the car he tells her that he likes everything about her, from her secrets to her self-drawn limits. He says he knows there is something that keeps her from smiling, and that is what draws him to her.
Back
at the house, Husband Shaukat is pacing the patio again, and trying to get
answers from Author Shaukat. He asks what happens if Antara doesn't come home
tonight. Is that the end of his story? Author Shaukat doesn't answer, and we see
the clock winding away the hours. Finally, Antara can be seen entering the house
from the other side of the patio. Shaukat (he's solo here, so we'll just say
Shaukat) asks her how the play was. She looks surprised to find him up, and says
that she thought he'd have gone to bed. He tells her that he's been waiting all
night, and it's 4:30am now. He asks if the play was just that long, or was there
dinner and an analysis of the show as well?
Antara
nervously replies that they didn't end up going to the play after all. Shaukat
laughs and says that he knew it all along. After all, who goes out to see a play
on a stormy night? Antara apologizes and says that she lost track of time.
Shaukat says he knows how time flies when you're having fun. He asks where she
went then, since they didn't make it to the play. He guesses they went to the
beach, but they must have seen the storm clouds coming in. He gets to musing
about how rain can wash away so many things, such as sand, trees, even sin. He
also notices that rain can cause accidents to happen. He asks Antara if her car
is on track, but it doesn't take a genius to get what he's really asking. After
a long pause, Antara is unable to answer him. Shaukat caresses her face, and
tells her that he trusts her completely. He knew that his Antara would come
back. He tells her that it's okay, sometimes these things happen.
However, there is a shift in Antara's expression. She asks him "what sometimes happens," and then why is it that Shaukat trusts her so much. Doesn't it matter to him that she spent all night with another man? She demands that he ask her what kept her so long. She wants to know what he's doing, and what game they are playing with each other.
