M: Nahi maa....mai isse shaadi nahi karungi...

Bani and Bhawna had reached home to a crying Meera. She was wailing and crying, begging Ritu to not marry her off.

Bh: Ritu? Bacchi mana kr rahi hai to zidd kyu kr rahi ho?

R: Bhabhi aap to rehne do...aap khud ek beti ki maa ho..aap to samjho...umar ho gayi hai...ab jo sach hai so hai...ye duniya gore rang ki diwani hai, vo toh iska hai nahi...aur umar nikal gayi toh kon karega isse shaadi?

B: Chachi ye kon se zamane ki soch hai...and kisne kaha Meera di sundar nahi hai..

M: Badimummy maine maa se kaha bhi, mai kissi aur se pyaar krti hoon...

Bh: kya?..Ritu phir toh-

R: arey bhabhi, hoga koi fatichar. Mere bhai ne ek sunar ka rishta laya hai...gehno me doobi rehna zindagi bhar....ek permanent naukar bhi hai uske ghar me..

Ma: Maa please!...

R: chup- ab tu mt shuru ho...ye philosophical gyan mujhe mt dena...real life me paiso ka sochna padta hai...adarson se pet nahi bharta...

B: Chachi!...aap slow ho kya?...Tapish Singhania, Balwant Singhania ka bada beta!!!

M: j-ji maa..

R: (laughs)...ajeeb mazak hai...beta vo bade ghar ka ladka hai...do chaar has ke baaten kr li hongi pr vo hum jaise logon me koi interest nahi rakhte..

T: aur mai kahun ye sach hai...toh?

Ritu turned and her eyes popped out. The thing is, Bani had told Bhawna about Tara in her ride home. She also called Tapish to come home. Tapish rushed there as soon as he heard Meera was getting forced to marry someone else.

................................

Jai was whistling away softly. He turned here and there. Noticing his coast is clear, he quickly slipped in a store through its backdoor.

A pair of eyes frowned and followed him. Stopping at the door, they looked around and noticed a window. Gathering some courage, they peeped in.

...................................

Tapish was sitting, slightly awkward and pink in the face as Ritu gushed all over him. Needless to say, the Sharmas accepted their relationship, not that Ritu would let anyone object. Mahesh did ask Tapish a couple of questions but Tapish answered sincerely. His love for Meera, shining through. Everyone smiled at it. A while later-

T: accha, ab mai chalta hoon..

R: arey beta...dinner krke jaana..

T: nahi aunty

R: aunty?!...haw...ab toh mummy ji bol skte ho..

T: eh..um...vo thik hai...mai keh raha tha ki aaj nahi...mujhe apni family se bhi sb discuss krna hai...kl aap log Singhania Mansion ayega na...ek baar ghar bhi dekh lijiye..

R: haan haan bilkul..

Mahesh to Manoj: iske to pankh nikal aye hai...hum bhi kuch lgte hai Meera ke..hume bhi bolne de..

They laugh.

.....................................

Bani was teasing Meera when her phone rang.

M: uhem uhem..new ringtone? (A/N: remember?)

B: shut up di!

Bani picked up the phone. It was Arya.

B: Arya? Haan bolo..

Arya told Bani that she saw the man who tried to misbehave with her. He was acting shady so she peeped through the window and noticed that a woman trafficking gang was operational in an abandoned store. The man who wronged her was just meeting the person and left but there were a lot of trapped woman there. Bani nose flared and her cried out for all those woman. She asked Arya to not worry and hide herself properly. She quickly rushed at the location sent by her.

....................................

Jai entered his house with the girl he had just picked up. She was properly drugged as she couldn't walk properly. He quickly hid himself as he saw his masi come downstairs.

Mandakini took a bag and went out quietly. Jai frowned and looked at the time. Curiosity got the best of him and he tried to follow her. Mandakini, who had in fact noticed Jai, had only pretended to go out. She entered back into the house through the backdoor and picked up the girl and bought her to her room. She nursed her head.

M: sorry beta...

.....................................

Bani reached the location and slipped in through the window. Once in, she properly opened the window and let Arya in. Arya quickly told the girls to keep quiet and close their eyes. Bani crawled through the ropes as a tiny snake, successfully loosening it. Some of the girls easily slipped themselves off and other were helped by Arya. Bani took her normal roop and helped most of them escape or hide. Arya called the police. A goon came there.

G: the truck is one girl short...ek- AREY!!!

He was shocked to see the girls out. He shouted for his men and three other goons reached there. The girls were scared but Bani started to fight off those men. Seeing this filled the girls with courage and they all bashed up the men and tied them all together.

Girl: Thank you so much!..you saved us...

They all praised them both and thanked them. Another girl approached Bani.

Girl: Di, my sister...and a few other girls...they were all sent in a truck..these goons were going to export a few minors...please di..

She sobbed. Bani saw red. She asked Arya to stay with them and rushed out. She saw a few tire marks and started to speed off as a naagin in that direction.

.......................................

Mayuri: Veer baby...I feel a little weak...mai please aaj yahan ruk jaun? Abhi late bhi ho gaya hai...kl chali jaungi ..(thinks: kl koi naya reason soch lungi..)

Veer: (rolls his eyes) kl chali jaana Mayuri...mai humari bachpan ki dosti ka lehaj krta hoon...pr faida uthane nahi dungi..

M: Pr?...don't you miss me...(she trails a finger seductively on his arms)

V: (feels disgusted) stop!..

He rips her hand off and enters his room, locking it.

M: ohoo...gussa ho abhi bhi?..give me a chance, open this door na Veer...accha koi nahi, we'll talk from here only..

Mayuri started to speak seductively to Veer through the door. Veer huffed in anger and flew out through the window.

................................

Bani had successfully through the driver out of the truck and parked it at a corner of the cliff. She broke open the shutter and her heart cried out seeing so many young girls. She started to help them climb out.

The driver, who was lying injured at the end of the road where Bani had through him out, started to call someone.

D: hello sirji?...sirji vo koi ladki ne truck rok li and bakiyon ko bhi azad kr rahi hai..

Man: what? Tu gadha hai kya?..ek ladki tujhr bhaari pad gayi?..

D: sirji vo koi mamuli ladki nahi hai...pata nahi kahan se aa gayi..mujhe to pata bhi nahi tha ki vo truck se latki hui hai...

Man: bs bs..tujhe pata hai na kya krna hai...ek bhi ladki bachni nahi chahiye...inme se kayi ladkiya pehle bhi foreign clients ko bheji gayi thi...humare kayi Indian clients ko bhi jaanti hai......ab delivery nahi ho skti toh damage control plan activate kr de..

The driver nodded and cut the call. He quickly slipped a small remote out of his pocket and pressed a button. He quietly went away.

........................................

Veeranshu was flying above the woods, his wings spread out and mind relaxed as he felt the wind. He felt relaxed after putting up with Mayuri nonsense. His mind went to the mystery girl who held his heart. He was shocked about his feelings. How can he feel so much for a woman whose name is also unknown to him. He recalled their yesterday's conversation, he recalled his responses. He had never spoken this way before but it was like she bought out a whole new person out of him.

He looked down to see her. He cursed himself for seeing her everywhere. Suddenly, he frowned and looked again. It was her indeed! She was helping some people out of a truck. What was going on?

Almost too suddenly, before he could think much, he saw the truck light up in fire and a huge blast shook through the air. She was pushed back due the impact and a broken chuck hit her slightly in the head, the fell off the cliff!

NO!

He hooted angrily and worried at the same time. He dived in at top speed and grabbed at her shoulders. His claws pierced her but Veer's first concern was keep her alive. Slowly, he lowered her down on the jungle floor.

V: TUM PAGAL HO?..KISNE KAHA TUMHE WAHA HONE? TIME DEKHA HAI...KR KYA RAHI THI?...TUMHE KUCH HO JATA TOH?...MERI JAAN HI NIKA-

Veer stopped and checked himself. He was confused.

V: mujhe ye kya ho raha hai?...maine aise pehle kabhi nahi kiya..kabhi aisa kuch feel nahi kiya...pehli baar kiya hai...tumhare liye...I never believed in love before you..But ab jo mujhe mehsoos ho raha hai...

Veer's mind was confused yet at peace knowing she was alive. He lowered himself and picked her up. Looking at her angelic face, he rose up in the clouds.

...........................

Too much is happening. Tapish met Meera's family, Bani saved a lot of girls and put herself in danger. But hero ki hero wali entry ho gayi and he saves his girl!. Jai is up to no good but his Masi saved the poor girl but the question is, who do you think is that man on the phone?

Guess what is coming next?
