Amar and Akanksh do the final rituals for Ayanika, with everyones presence.

Akanksh- (thinking) I give you this promise, Ananta, that I will find the culprit and bring justice. I won't let your sacrifice go in vain. That is my vow.

Amar puts his hand on Akanksh's shoulder to bring him out of his thoughts. Amar looks at Renuka and gestures her to meet after sometime. Renuka nods her head and goes to a secluded area which was under a jasmine tree. After sometime, Amar brings Akanksh where Renuka was standing.

Amar- I just want to know how the attack was conducted? Who was the main culprit?

Renuka- Bhalladeva was the main planner. 3 days back, Rajamata had sent Ayanika, this message.

Ketu ka bal badh gaya hai aur Rahu usko hamla karne pe uksa raha hai. Chandrika puri taiyaari karlo, Suryamukhi aa rahi hai milne, Guru ke saath.

Amar- Iska arth kya hai?

Renuka- Iska arth yeh hai ki Bhalladeva's power had increased and Bijjaladeva was instigating him to attack you. So, Ayanika get ready for impending danger as Rajamata was coming to you along with Kattapa. So we had made this plan already, the only part which Akanksh didn't know was the divertion one. Ayanika could have been with us, had she not eaten Apupa. (Tears in her eyes)

Amar- Why are you saying that?

Renuka- Because that Apupa contained kaalkoot poison. But she ate so that she could protect the life of my sister.

Amar and Akanksh become confused.

Renuka- Maya had married Kavi as she wanted to be spy for Yani, which Yani never wanted as she considered Maya as her sister. But she wanted to do it as She loved Yani as her elder sister and eventhough she loved Kavi from her heart but she knew he would not stop at anything to kill Yani and help Bhalla in harming you. So, she married him and was doing her job but she got caught by him. So, she was held as captive which Yani got to know. She knew that if she didn't eat the sweet, there was heavy chance that Maya would have been killed by Kavi as he would have doubted her easily.

Akanksh- But how did she get those wounds?

Renuka- She had known about the attack long back. When Rajmata came with Kattapa to your cottage on pretext of seeing Mahendra, that was the signal for us to continue with our counter plan.

Amar- Aku, did you know about this plan?

Akanksh- I just knew a part of it.

Amar nods.

Amar- Renuka, but I have one question, why did you take Ayu outside and what happened?

Renuka- I took her outside to give antidote of the poison which would the effects of the poison for sometime. At the same time, we noticed that group of Kalkeyas were hiding in woods, so we went to along with Aditya to fight them off. After that, all of you what happened.

Akanksh- But why didn't she inform me about the other part of the plan where she killed max of the soldiers?

Renuka- Actually all of them. She didn't inform you because she knew that you would endangering your life to protect her. She didn't want that and also she didn't want you to see her death. (Tearing up) In her final stages of life, she asked me to liberate her from her body. I couldn't bring myself to do that but she did that her-self through my hands, as she wanted to be liberated.

Akanksh felt his heart tearing. But he wanted to ask one question before he could make decision.

Akanksh- (trying to control his anger and grief at the same time) Who did the 17 cuts on her body?

Renuka- (taking deep breath) Bhalladeva

Akanksh took deep breath but his eyes showed the anger he was holding back. He went towards the Chita of Ayanika, looked at it with grief and anger. Amar just came up behind him. He looked at Chita with determination.

Amar- I know Aku that you want to destroy everything over here at this point of time. But, I give you this Akhand vachan that we will take revenge from Bhalladeva. I just want you to support me.

Akanksh looked at him, with moist eyes. He quietly went and hugged which was reciprocated by Amar.
