Description: Danyal the protagonist is sitting on a bench, with sorrow etched all over his face. His gaze is cast downwards, and his hands rest in his lap in a very helpless manner. His shirt hangs loosely around him, and an open notebook lies beside him, in which there seems to be something scribbled inside. On closer inspection, it turns out that the words 'Best Friends Forever' are written, when Danyal picks up the notebook and brings it closer to his eyes. He then looks up in the sky, as if thinking about something very deeply.

Aisa kyu,
Bta mujhay,'
Translation
'With the past,
No relations I have,
Why?
Do tell, why?'
Description: The real scene dissolves, and flashbacks limited strictly to the school ground are shown. In these flashbacks, Danyal and his late friend are talking to each other in class, while conversing with other friends in a happy excited manner.They are faced towards each other, with huge smiles plastered onto their faces. The classroom has been brought into focus during these initial series of flashbacks, and is mostly occupied by students, hence providing a very lively atmosphere. And then suddenly, they stop and Danyal stands up, looking ahead in a very depressed manner. His eyes are still cast downwards, and his hands now lie loosely around his sides, one still clutching the notebook. He twiddles his thumbs hopelessly, and then starts moving forward slowly.
Scene Three
Time: Day

Along the way,
Description: Firstly, he walks towards a school playground very slowly with an averted gaze. While walking, he then looks on either side of him; at the boys playing football as well as the rows of benches hidden behind small trees. His head droops down again, and he stops for a while experiencing yet another series of flashbacks this time strictly limited to the school playground. First, he is shown seated with his friend on the stage during recess, while talking excitedly. Both of them watch the crowded school with smiles yet again plastered on their faces, while chatting animatedly at the same time. Next, they are walking across the ground, and a football hurtles past them, which his friend kicks back. His arms flail in mid-air as he enters this motion, and his body movements become more agile when he does so. Danyal just watches in sheer amazement at the scene before him, and they exchange hi-fives before moving forward.
Scene Four
Time: Day
Location: Beaconhouse Jubilee Campus, Dar-Us-Salam Society, Korangi
Characters: Danyal
Lyrics:
Description: The flashbacks stop again, and this time Danyal watches the boys playing football more properly. He moves a hand through his hair in a sad way, then after staring at them again resumes walking forward. Although this time, he looks more frustrated than usual, his fists clenching and unclenching momentarily, while biting his lip at the same time. The notebook in his hand violently sways to and fro, as if threatening to fall down, and his eyebrows meet at the centre with his lips pursed agitatedly.
Scene Five
Time: Day
Location: Beaconhouse Jubilee Campus, Dar-Us-Salam Society, Korangi
Characters: Danyal
Lyrics:
'Yaad aya Youn hai,
Dil sai mila,
Tha youn.
Yaad aya Youn hai
Yaad aya...'
Translation:
'Remembered you have been,
Entwined with the heart,
You were.
Remembered you have been,
Remembered you are...'
Description: All the flashbacks he experienced come again, but in a more slow-paced manner. Like a colourful mixture of both the inside as well as the outside of the school, all the details are more comprehensively shown in them like the two friends conversing excitedly in the classroom, as well as outside with the same scene of his friend kicking the ball in the ground shown again in slow motion. An extra scene in which his friend folding a paper plane, and throwing it across the classroom is also shown. He caresses the fold with admiration, and the two of them erupt into raucous laughter as the plane hits a fellow classmate who immediate responds by a steely look directed towards the duo.
Scene Six
Time: Day
Location: Beaconhouse Jubilee Campus, Dar-Us-Salam Society, Korangi
Characters: Danyal
Lyrics:
'Kabhi soucha na tha,
Kai aoogay tum,
Phir sai,
In sasou mai,'
Translation:
'Never had I thought,
That return you would,
Again,
With these painful gasps for air'
Description: Again, the real scene comes into focus, and Danyal is still walking in an agitated manner. He then stops, the contortion of his face easing slightly and looks yet again at the boys playing football. A split-second hallucination of his friend walking towards him all in smiles is shown, and then de-materializes, leaving him motionless, the notebook in his hand falling down immediately. He bends down slowly, and picks it back up, now leafing through its pages.
Scene Seven
Lyrics:
'Veeranay mai bhee,
Jou bus gya hoo,
Kurdou hou,
Riha mujhay!'
Translation:
'Even in abandonment,
Stuck as I am,
Please let go,
Leave me be!'
Description: His increasing agitation recedes into regression, and he slows down to a great extent. Instead of anger, and frustration, a series of deformed expressions pass on his face, and make him look both tense, and depressed at the same time. His lips stretch thinly, and then revert back to their original size. One of his arms shifts upwards being clenched like a fist, and then suddenly lowers down then hanging limply by his sides. His eyes blink in and out, as if he is having trouble perceiving reality from fantasy, given that he experienced a series of flashbacks in the last scene. The surroundings blur around him, and he is brought more into focus for this particular scene. His expressions, thanks to their strange nature are being more heavily concentrated upon, and he starts taking calculated steps while wandering aimlessly towards his desired direction.

Characters: Danyal
Lyrics:
'Tou ladooga mai,
Ujaalai sabhi,
Nibah dooga mai,
Wou waadai sabhi,'
Translation:
'Then I shall bring,
Light into my life,
And keep,
Promises we made'
Description: He then stops, and his movements relax, until eventually coming to a halt. He widens his eyes slightly, as if something has occurred to him. He brings the notebook again to his face, and then after shutting it stares at its binding as if he has just realized something. A smile registers on his face, and he gives a small nod in approval of his stabilized mental state. Suddenly, a boy approaches him and places a hand on his shoulder, as if inviting him to something. They both exchange warm glances, and after giving each other a small nod start moving towards the centre of the field where the rest of the boy's friends are playing football.

Waha bhee!'

But, despite your condition,
Never shall I go,
Again to that place!'
Description: Danyal experiences flashbacks in a very fast-paced manner, and more blurred this time. These are the same flashbacks he experienced in the earlier scenes, save for the point that they are now presented in a more fast-forward manner.
