Tere Mere Darmiyan
Episode 1 — The Day Everything changed
Some meetings are planned.
Some are fate.
And some—
happen when your world is already falling apart.
📍Mumbai
🗓 12 December 2018
🕓 4:00 PM
The monsoon had ended months ago.
Yet the sky—
Refused to stay quiet.
People ran for shelter.
Umbrellas opened in a hurry.
Cars slowed… traffic building into chaos.
Because this was Mumbai.
And nothing here was predictable.
In the middle of the crowd—
a girl kept walking.
Drenched.
Silent.
Broken.
A black abaya clung to her frame.
Her steps uneven.
Her head lowered.
Safiya Shaikh [FL]
*thoughts*
Safiya Shaikh [FL]
Was I not enough…?
Her tears blended with the rain—
invisible to everyone.
Or maybe—
She didn’t want to be seen.
✨Flashback a few hours ago ✨
Danish:
Just because I talked to you—
doesn’t mean I like you.
Rose crushed under his foot
Maliha (laughing):
It was just a prank 😌
And just like that—
Her world shattered.
Not caring where.
Not caring how far.
Running away feels easier
than staying where you broke.
Safiya Shaikh [FL]
Chor! CHOR!
Ignoring the pain.
Ignoring the rain.
But pain caught up faster than hope.
Just like everything else in her life.
And for the second time that day—
[Scene — Near by Park bench]
Safiya Shaikh [FL]
Main ghar kaise jaungi…?
Safiya Shaikh [FL]
Mera phone… paise… bus card… sab kuch bag mein tha…
Safiya Shaikh [FL]
Bhai ne abhi naya phone dilaya tha…
She buried her face in her hands.
Crying silently.
The rain kept soaking her—
A man stood in front of her.
Holding an umbrella over her.
Man:
Take your stolen bag.
She grabs it with trembling hands
Safiya Shaikh [FL]
Tha… thank you…
Man: Are you alright… miss?
But nothing about her said she was okay.
Man: Let me drop you home.
Safiya Shaikh [FL]
No… I’ll manage…
Man: At least let me walk you to the bus stop.
Man: What if your bag gets stolen again?
Didn’t have the strength to.
He couldn’t see her face—
Driver (whispering): Sir… aapki flight miss ho jayegi…
Then took out a handkerchief.
Man: But there are people who care about your happiness
Man: I don’t know what you went through…
Man: They matter more than those who hurt you.
Man: Don’t let others decide your worth.
He places the umbrella in her hand
The soft girl disappeared.
Nights into endless pages.

Aina Saad Shaikh [FL's Ammi]
Apna khayal rakhna…
Safiya Shaikh [FL]
Ji Ammi…
She lost herself in the rain.
Didn’t forget that moment.
Because the man she met that day—
Was never meant to stay a stranger.

Episode 2—A Wedding Without Love
[7:00 PM | Khan Mansion, United Kingdom]
The sky glowed in soft lavender… but tonight, the real stars were on Earth.
The entire Khan Mansion shimmered in gold.
Fairy lights wrapped around balconies, lanterns lit every pathway—everything looked straight out of a dream.
And in the middle of it all… stood Muskan Mansoor Ali Khan.
Muskaan Mansoor Ali Khan [ML's Ammi]
No, no—NOT there! I told you, fairy lights go on MY left side, not yours!
Decorator
I-I’m sorry, ma’am… it’s my first day. Please don’t report me…
The poor boy looked like he might faint any second.
Muskaan Mansoor Ali Khan [ML's Ammi]
*sighs*
Muskaan Mansoor Ali Khan [ML's Ammi]
Just fix it. Put it where I told you.
Decorator
Yes ma’am! Thank you!
He rushed away like he had just escaped a lion.
Muskan watched everything carefully—every flower, every light, every tiny detail.
Her son was getting married.
The same son who had refused marriage for five years.
And now that the day had finally come… nothing could go wrong.
Roshni Aman Ali Khan [ML's Chachi]
Bhabhi, relax ho jao. Itni tension loge toh kuch bhi time pe nahi hoga.
Muskan turned to see Roshini, smiling with a tray of sweets in her hands.
Muskaan Mansoor Ali Khan [ML's Ammi]
Roshini, main tension kaise na loon? In logon ki galtiyan dekhi hain tumne?
Roshni Aman Ali Khan [ML's Chachi]
*smiling*
Roshni Aman Ali Khan [ML's Chachi]
Aap itna pressure doge toh woh aur ghabra jayenge.
Muskan sighed deeply… her sharpness softening.
Muskaan Mansoor Ali Khan [ML's Ammi]
I just want everything to be perfect… for my son.
Roshni Aman Ali Khan [ML's Chachi]
And it will be. Aap bas thoda rest karo. Baaki sab main sambhal lungi.
After a pause… Muskan finally nodded.
Muskaan Mansoor Ali Khan [ML's Ammi]
Fine… but tell me—Faris ready hai?
Roshni Aman Ali Khan [ML's Chachi]
Haan bhabhi. Main abhi uske room se aa rahi hoon. Bohot handsome lag raha hai.
Bas… uske dost usse kuch “advice” de rahe hain.
Muskaan Mansoor Ali Khan [ML's Ammi]
*confused*
Muskaan Mansoor Ali Khan [ML's Ammi]
Unhe kya advice deni hai? Woh khud single hain!
The air smelled of cologne… but beneath it, tension lingered.
Faris stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his sherwani.
Behind him… Zayn and Mahir watched silently.
Mahir Akhtar [ML's Best friend]
I still can’t believe this…
You’re really marrying someone you don’t love?
Faris Ali Khan [ML]
(flatly)
Faris Ali Khan [ML]
I don’t have a choice. You know, how much I respect him. I can’t go against my father's words.
Mahir Akhtar [ML's Best friend]
Frustrated
Mahir Akhtar [ML's Best friend]
Yaar, izzat apni jagah hai… lekin apni zindagi qurbaan kar dena?
Mahir Akhtar [ML's Best friend]
(turning)
Mahir Akhtar [ML's Best friend]
Zayn, say something!
Zayn stayed quiet for a moment… then spoke slowly.
Zayn Ansari [ML's Best friend]
Agar tu Saher se shaadi kar raha hai…
Zayn Ansari [ML's Best friend]
Toh uss ladki ka kya? Jise tu 5 saal se dhoond raha hai?
Then he continued adjusting his watch.
Mahir Akhtar [ML's Best friend]
We thought it was love at first sight…
Mahir Akhtar [ML's Best friend]
That’s why you were searching for her all these years.
Mahir Akhtar [ML's Best friend]
So now what?
Mahir Akhtar [ML's Best friend]
Should we stop looking for her?
Zayn Ansari [ML's Best friend]
*sharper*
Zayn Ansari [ML's Best friend]
Of course we should.
Zayn Ansari [ML's Best friend]
The one who wanted to find her… is getting married now.
Faris Ali Khan [ML]
*calculated, emotionless*
Faris Ali Khan [ML]
Do whatever you want.
Faris Ali Khan [ML]
I’m still marrying Saher.
Faris Ali Khan [ML]
If you want to stop searching… then stop.
Mahir Akhtar [ML's Best friend]
*staring at the door*
Mahir Akhtar [ML's Best friend]
Zayn… maine sahi suna na?
Mahir Akhtar [ML's Best friend]
Jo 5 saal se humein bol raha tha uss ladki ko dhoondo…
Mahir Akhtar [ML's Best friend]
Aaj keh raha hai chhod do?
Zayn Ansari [ML's Best friend]
Yeah… I heard the same.
Mahir Akhtar [ML's Best friend]
*dramatically grabbing him*
Mahir Akhtar [ML's Best friend]
Yaar, maine suna tha shaadi ke baad log badalte hain…
Mahir Akhtar [ML's Best friend]
Par yeh toh shaadi ke pehle hi badal gaya!
But the real question still remained…
Or was he just… hiding something deeper?
Episode 3 —Love. Lies. Nikah.
[7:35 PM | Little Lantern Café]
The café sat quietly in a corner of the city… warm lights, the smell of coffee, and silence that felt heavier than usual.
At the farthest table, four girls sat together—dressed in black, like shadows hiding their storms.
Laiba Baig [FL's Best friend]
*softly, placing a tissue*
Laiba Baig [FL's Best friend]
Aiman… please. He isn’t worth your tears.
Her eyes stayed fixed ahead… empty.
Her fingers tightened around a crumpled napkin.
Safiya Shaikh [FL]
I knew Rohail was a mistake. I should’ve said something earlier.
Naira Ahmed [FL's Bestfriend]
*sharp look*
Naira Ahmed [FL's Bestfriend]
Safiya. Not helping.
Aiman Malik [FL's best friend]
You think I didn’t know… he wasn’t serious?
Aiman Malik [FL's best friend]
*pauses, voice breaking*
Aiman Malik [FL's best friend]
But when he smiled… when he said I was different…that he loved me…
Aiman Malik [FL's best friend]
I believed him.
Rohail:
I’ve never met someone like you, Aiman.
Rohail… laughing with another girl. Close. Too close.
Rohail:
We can’t be together, Aiman… my parents won’t accept you.
Tears slipped down her cheeks.
Aiman Malik [FL's best friend]
I don’t care that he left…
Aiman Malik [FL's best friend]
*voice hardens*
Aiman Malik [FL's best friend]
I care that I didn’t get to say anything.
Aiman Malik [FL's best friend]
I didn’t even get to slap him for cheating on me.
Safiya Shaikh [FL]
*blinks*
Laiba Baig [FL's Best friend]
*shocked*
Laiba Baig [FL's Best friend]
What—
Aiman Malik [FL's best friend]
I let him walk away…like I was some fool he was playing with.
Naira Ahmed [FL's Bestfriend]
*leans in, eyes sharp*
Naira Ahmed [FL's Bestfriend]
So don’t.
Naira Ahmed [FL's Bestfriend]
Kisne bola tum apna gussa nahi nikal sakti ho?
Laiba Baig [FL's Best friend]
*confused*
Laiba Baig [FL's Best friend]
Naira… Aiman usse kaise confront karegi?Aaj uski shaadi hai.
Naira Ahmed [FL's Bestfriend]
*shrugs, fearless*
Naira Ahmed [FL's Bestfriend]
Toh?Shaadi hai toh kya hua?
Naira Ahmed [FL's Bestfriend]
Aiman jayegi… usse sab sunaayegi… aur wapas aa jayegi.
Naira Ahmed [FL's Bestfriend]
Simple.
Safiya opened her mouth to protest—
Aiman Malik [FL's best friend]
*quiet… but steady*
Aiman Malik [FL's best friend]
I’m ready.
Something changed in her eyes.
Naira Ahmed [FL's Bestfriend]
*grinning*
Naira Ahmed [FL's Bestfriend]
She’s in.What about you two?
Laiba Baig [FL's Best friend]
*smiles softly*
Laiba Baig [FL's Best friend]
If it helps Aiman… I’m in.
All eyes turned to Safiya.
Safiya Shaikh [FL]
*groans*
Safiya Shaikh [FL]
You all are insane…
Safiya Shaikh [FL]
*pauses*
Safiya Shaikh [FL]
…but fine. Count me in.
And just like that…a reckless decision was made.
One that would change everything.
[8:00 PM | Royal Grace Banquet, London]
The venue looked like a royal fairytale.
Candles flickered along the entrance…
flowers shimmered under golden lights…
music floated softly in the air.
At the center of it all… sat Faris.
Dressed as a groom. Regal. Flawless.
Ruhaan Ali Khan [ML's younger brother]
*teasing*
Ruhaan Ali Khan [ML's younger brother]
Bhai… aap toh kehte the kabhi shaadi nahi karoge.
Ruhaan Ali Khan [ML's younger brother]
Aur ab dekho? Dulha banke baithe ho?
Laughter erupted around him.
Because his mind… was somewhere else.
[✨Flashback ✨| One Month Ago – Mansoor Khan’s Study]
Mansoor Ali Khan [ML's Abbu]
Why are you refusing to marry Saher?
Faris Ali Khan [ML]
*low, controlled*
Faris Ali Khan [ML]
Abbu… I don’t love her.
Faris Ali Khan [ML]
I won’t be able to keep her happy.
Faris Ali Khan [ML]
*pauses*
Faris Ali Khan [ML]
I… like someone else.
Mansoor Ali Khan [ML's Abbu]
*cold*
Mansoor Ali Khan [ML's Abbu]
Then marry the one you like.
Mansoor Ali Khan [ML's Abbu]
*mocking*
Mansoor Ali Khan [ML's Abbu]
Lekin… ab tak mili nahi woh tumhe?
Faris Ali Khan [ML]
I’m still searching for her…
Faris Ali Khan [ML]
I’ll find her soon.
Mansoor Ali Khan [ML's Abbu]
*scoffs*
Mansoor Ali Khan [ML's Abbu]
Kab? Jab tum 50 ke ho jaoge?
His tone no longer a discussion.
Mansoor Ali Khan [ML's Abbu]
You know Muskan is worried.
Mansoor Ali Khan [ML's Abbu]
And she asked me to convince you.
Faris Ali Khan [ML]
*trying again*
Faris Ali Khan [ML]
Abbu, please—
Mansoor Ali Khan [ML's Abbu]
*interrupts*
Mansoor Ali Khan [ML's Abbu]
No arguments.
Then came the final blow.
Mansoor Ali Khan [ML's Abbu]
You will marry Saher.
Mansoor Ali Khan [ML's Abbu]
Not for love…but for business.
Faris felt the weight of everything crash onto him.
Mansoor Ali Khan [ML's Abbu]
This marriage will benefit the company...and fulfill your mother’s wish.
Placed a firm hand on Faris’s shoulder.
Mansoor Ali Khan [ML's Abbu]
I’m not asking you.
Mansoor Ali Khan [ML's Abbu]
I’m telling you
His voice… barely a whisper.
Faris Ali Khan [ML]
Ji, Abbu.
And just like that…his choice was taken away.
