Episode 1 : A comma after a full stop

Far away, in an isolated cottage, Angela is seen sitting on a bed covered with blanket and writing her diary


"Dear Diary,
                   Past! Present aur Future! Waqt ke saath bohath kuch badalta hai. People keep telling you to forget the past and keep moving forward. Par apne atheeth ko bhulna, aasan nahi hai. Especially when you lose someone. Mujhe humesha laga ke aisa situation meri death ke baath aayega. But,.... I keep wondering, kaise ek incident tumhari perfect si life ko barbaad kar sakti hai. Meri life perfect nahi thi na hi hai. Main marne waali hoon but meri iss life ko perfect banaya mere friends ne. And now, one of them has been taken away


Angela turns right and sees the girls group photo that they had taken on Christmas. She takes it in her hand and smiles as she sees Siyali. She senses a disturbance near her and turns left to see Niti waking up.


Ni (sleepy) - Angela? Itni raat ko kar kya rahi ho?


A - Kuch nahi! Tum so ja'o.


She sits up and looks around. She sees Krissan and Trishna sleeping next to her and,


Ni (sleepy) - Waise bhi? Humari musibath missing hai!


A - Haan! Patha nahi kahan chali gayi. Shayad doosri room mein so gayi hogi.
Ni - Akeley!?
A - Haan.
Ni - Bhagwan kare ki usse koi bhoot uthakey le jaaye.


Angela stares at an angry Niti and then both of them start laughing when


K (shouts) - Like really? Can you guys just shut up and sleep? Raath ke 12 baje hain. You're laughing is spoling my beauty sleep


T (irritated) - Unki hasi se zyada tumhara chillana mujhe disturb kar raha hai!


Niti and Angela giggle hearing this comment. Trishna sit up and look at them,


T - Angela? Tumhe aur koi time nahi mila yeh diary likhne ke liye!


A - It's the last day. Likna toh bantha hai.


Trishna and Niti lie back on the bed and,


K - Please. Jaldi finish karke lights off kardo. Kal jaldi utna hai na!


Ni - Haan! Back to Delhi


As the others go back to sleep, Angela gets back to her diary,


"Haan. We're all here in Goa, together. The 10 of us. There used to be a time when we smiled in the worst of situations. Par ab, khushi ke mauqe par bhi koi hasta nahi hai. It's been 40 days since the....you know what. And this is the first time, Niti and I laughed. Siyali sab ke bohath qareeb nahi thi. But hum sab ke liye kuch toh thi, ek achi dost. I miss her. We miss her. But hum uske baarey mein baath nahi kartey hain. It's like she never existed.
                   The 10 of them other than Vidyut, Vidurshi and Parth are seen inside a house in goa along with a Rajput family's servant. They didn't seem to enjoy. They sat in their homes watched movies or went to beach and sat. Nothing else.


2 din pehley Sid aur Utkarsh ka birthday tha. They were born on the same day buss different years. So, yeh poora goa ka trip celebrate karney ke liye tha. Or.. That's what we said Sid. Aur kar bhi kya sakte hain? He just doesn't take his mind of Siyali.


                       Utkarsh is seen standing near his cake on which "Happy birthday Sid and Utkarsh" was written. But Utkarsh stood alone without Sid by his side. The friends gave a sad look. Utkarsh dropped the knife and went to corner which stunned Urmila ma'am.


The directors called sanam teri kasam as 'the love story with curses'? Wait till they see Sid and Siyali's! Finally, jab sab kuch apna teek ho raha tha, who expected Siyali to die. Mujhe laga Sid udaaz hoga dukhi hoga. But unfortunately, Sid naraaz hai. Apne aap se. Usually aise incidents ke baad, ladka devdaas banta hai, ya phir bhagwan ko kosta hai ya phir pyaar se uska vishwas utt jaata hai. But In Sid's case, something different. Woh sirf ek insaan ko in sab ke qaathir maanta hai. And that's him. Woh badal gaya. Bohath. You'll only understand when you see him. Isse ek baath toh samajh mein aati hai. Life mein kuch bhi pre planned nahi hota hai. Anything can happen. Kuch bhi. Kabhi bhi.


                     As Angela continues writing, she feels horrible thinking about all that happened. And suddenly, the lights start flickering.


She hears the noise of the windows that burst open due to the wind. She gets up and walks towards the window. As she locks it and turns around, the lights go off.


A (to herself) - Okay! This is creepy.


She slowly walks to her bed when she hears a howling noise from outside. She slowly turns back towards the window with a glare. She turns slowly and gets shocked seeing something standing in front of her,


A - What the hell are you doing standing so close?


T (doubtful) - Was it just me? Or did the wolf actually howl?
Ni - Kutta tha shayad.


Niti and Krissan were still sitting on the bed. They suddenly hear the sound of anklets. Niti and Krissan freak out and run next to Trishna and Angela.


A - Torch hai kisike paas?


T - Ek minute.


She takes a torch from the drawer near the bed and gives to Angela. Angela switches it on and follows the anklet noise while the girls held on to each other and walked behind Angela.


K - This is so weird. Aise lagraha hai ke hum kisi film ke andhar hain.


Ni - Par jo koi aise torch leke bhoot ko follow karta hai, woh end mein marr jaatey hain.


The three of them stare at Niti when Krissan excitedly goes away,


K - Shero! There you are!


Ni - Yahan hai?


Niti and Angela look at each other. She picks up a small puppy and sees anklets tied on his neck.


K - How down market! Kisne mere shero pe anklets daala? Ishaan hoga. He hates my shero. Trish?


She looks at the others who were all staring at the mirror. Krissan looks at the mirror. All 4 of them stand shocked to see a black figure standing behind them. They turn back to see no one standing.


T (scared) - Humey jald se jald iss ghar se bahar nikalna hoga.


A (shocked) - Ladkon ke room ke andhar jaa rahi hai.


They look up to see the ghost walking inside the boys room. Their expression changes from scared to staring. Angela and Niti look at each other,


Ni - Yeh rahi..


A, Ni, K, T - Musibath.


Inside the boys room, the ghost crossed the bed. Lucky woke up yawning and sees the ghost . He widens his eyes while the ghost picks up the knife from near by Fruit basket and threatens him. He picks up the blanket and lies back on the bed scared closing this face with the blanket.


The ghost walks to the couch where Sid was sleeping. It looks at him sleeping, takes the rod up high and smiles seeing it. Sid opens his eyes and seeing the someone standing in front of him, gets up. He looks around and at the ghost. The ghost turns the rod and a small sound comes along with the lights in the house. The boys get up and look towards Sid who was surrounded with party poppers. The ghost turns at the confused boys and takes off the mask. Lucky starts screaming seeing the girls face that shocks her.


Girl - Ise kya hogaya?


I - Bichara! Darr gaya!
Girl - Really? Scary tha na?
C - Haan! Bohath. Jab tumne apna mask uthaya.


The girl stared at Charlie. The girls stood near the door with their hands folded. Sid looked around at all of them. They all wanted to laugh but none of them even had a smile on their faces.


T (angry) - Tumne kiya hai yeh sab? Howling sound, anklet sound, lights flickering, current off?


S - Kajol? Yeh sab kya tha?
Kaj - I thought it'll be a nice surprise?


Sid gives a confused look at her


Kaj (excited) - Its been a month since we met. Happy month-iversary Sid.


She excitedly hugs Sid who just stares at all the uncomfortable faces in the room.
