Shivaay reached the home along with others, Even though ritwik and Khushi had many questions in their head, They didn't ask him anything. Avinash took unconscious arushi made her lay in the bed. Ritwik came up with the sleeping Jahaan made her sleep next to arushi. She, Inturn, Hugged her and slept. Khushi, Shivaay, and Ritwik staring exchanging the glances with many questions.

"You're sure..." - Shivaay asked ritwik. 

"Yeah, got her reports... I personally went to the hospital and checked twice... I know impossible but she's pregnant for sure..." - Ritwik said to shivaay. 

"Why it's impossible?" - Shivaay asked. 

"Because she was..." - Ritwik stopped when Avinash decided to answer. 

"It's not true... She don't want any kids..." - Avinash answered. Shivaay quickly grabs the reason, But it was still a puzzle for everyone who was there listening to him. Meanwhile, Arushi got her consciousness back but she was very afraid to open her eyes and confront everything. She remained blank and closed her eyes tightly. 

"She didn't want babies with me..." - Ritwik asked him. 

"It's not like that... She don't want babies, it's actually we decided not to expand our family due to..."- Avinash stopped. Both ritwik and Khushi were shocked. There was only one question ran inside her head, why? 

"Why?" - Ritwik whispered to Avinash. Avinash felt very difficult to say. He had many things going in his head, Whether they believe, Whether they get scared if they know the truth but he had no options, Now.  Arushi finally gathered the courage and opened her eyes. And tried to get up from the bed. Ritwik went next to her when she stood up from her Bed. Seeing Everyone there shivaay went out of their room as they needed their space to open up everything.

He took his seat in the couch, Tears escaped uncontrollably from his eyes thinking about anika, And he was also depressed, on the other hand, How their decision making their children's lives upside down. He didn't want his children to go through the same which he had gone through with anika. He well-knowingly broke his heart as well as Anika's heart in order to stay her away from him. Now, Everything seems to be happening with their children, Arushi gave up on her own kids and Avi decided to stay single, forever. He didn't wish this for their children but everything happened. 

Soon the calling bell rang, Shivaay went towards the door and opened it. It was the security, Handling a huge parcel in his hand. 

"What's this?" - Shivaay asked him. 

"A couple asked to give this parcel to you, Sir..." - Security Gaurd replied to him. Shivaay got it from his hand confusingly and took the heavy box from his hand. He kept it nearer to shoe rack when he saw the surveillance camera in the corridor. He quickly recalls Khushi's words who told she came to her house this morning. He ran towards the security control room in the very next second. Leaving the box unopened behind. 

On the other hand, Avinash and Khushi moved towards the balcony where Ritwik and Arushi stayed in the same room.

"Okay, Whatever the reason... It's okay..." - Ritwik said when she couldn't even match her eyelids with him and her hands started to shiver. He sat next to her and made her head lay on his shoulder. The guilt hit her hard, Her eyes couldn't able to hold her tears. They poured out. 

"I lied to you..." - She cried while hugging him tightly. 

"What?" - He asked her while kissing her hair.

"I never slept with anyone, I said that because i wanted you to get rid of me and move on..." - She said and cried very badly on his shoulders. He was shocked but he didn't loose his grip. 

"To get rid of you... Are you serious?" - Ritwik asked her while caressing her hairs. She couldn't hold the secret longer. She started, From the start, From when, Avinash got their mom's diary and their search towards the truth. And got to know about the truth behind their secret. Even it was shocking and unbelievable, He didn't lose the grip. 

"And He's the one who saved you?" - Ritwik asked her when she told him everything. Aru nodded. 

"And Jahaan?"- He asked her shocked. 

"Their child... I mean my younger sister..."- Aru said. Aru didn't tell her about her power, She let the truth about jahaan unfold. On the other hand, Khushi and Avinash still stayed silent and didn't start their conversation, yet. Avinash had no idea where to start. Khushi got irritated and decided to start. 

"I saw Anika's photo with young you have taken in 1991... But she would have born probably by 1996 or 1997... How?" - Khushi asked him coldly. This time, Khushi blocked him every way. He had to confront her. 

"That's my mom..." - Avinash replied to her. 

"Who?" - Khushi asked him. 

"Both... Anika whom you know and the anika whom you saw in the photograph, Both are same"  - Avinash said and Khushi was stuck. She felt like she got answers for her every question. But she had to hear everything from him. 

"But they're dead, Right" - She asked. 

"They re-born, For us..." -  He replied. And narrated the whole story to her. Expect the vaanka's parts. He had no idea, How to say it.

"But Why Tushara and his wife were behind you guys?" - Khushi asked him. Gathering all his courage, He tugged up the right sleeve of his shirt up to his forearm. She was confused. 

"You're the one to help mumma in her research about vaanka's kind..." - Avinash asked her. she nodded. She knew some knowledge about their kind and their practices. She knew they were super-humans where the men of that kind were very very strong and women blessed with different powers. But she has taken aback when she saw the same symbol in his right forearm. Her lips parted, Her eyes widened because of shock. 

"We are that kind..." - Avinash finally said. Khushi had nothing to say. 

"Papa belonged to that kind and Mom is human... It was against their rules that's why they were behind killing us..." - Avinash said. She cupped her mouth in shock.

"It means everything is real, Nothing is fictional..." - Khushi asked him. He nodded no. 

"That's why you deliberately did everything..." - Khushi asked him. This time he moved towards the balcony and looked the night sky. Tears crossed his eyes. 

"I don't want to gift the same to my own kids and let them suffer..." - He said.

"That's not my answer... Tell me, Why did you come to my college where i am working and cleared my left-out hope that we are nothing more than friends?" - Khushi asked him. 

"I was confused... confused! When you proposed to me in college? But My confusion got clear when i was reading my mom's diary... I thought my mom and dad comprised for us and decided to live together... But i was wrong, They were so in love... Pure love... But when i decided to come to you and surrender myself to you, This truth, changed my life... I just couldn't do it... Di broke up with ritwik by then... I didn't purposefully meet you in the college... I came there coincidently, And saw you, That one glance was enough to tell me that you didn't move on in your life... And you still love me, That's why i did that..." - Avinash burst to Khushi who just had tears in her eyes. Those weren't because of sorrow, They were because of happiness to know that her love wasn't one-sided. He also loved her, Wholeheartedly. She wanted to hug him. But she held back. 

"So you came to my house this morning just to wish me HAPPY MARRIED LIFE" - She asked him. He stayed silent. On the other hand, Shivaay got to know, It's none other than neel who kidnapped her from the surveillance camera which was fixed on the entrance. 

*******

After 5 hours...

Anika opened her eyes when the sunrays hit in her face. She was shocked to see the ceiling of the house. And she was in a bed, Her hands weren't tied. She finally recalled everything when she saw neel in front of the mirror, peeling off his fake skins which hid his real shrunk skin condition. The fear became stronger in her heart. But she decided, she will never show them in her face. She quickly glanced around to find some phone or anything to contact shivaay. But it was laying next to daksh and his phone was in 'on' state. 

"Good morning sweetheart..." - Daksh called her while tieing his ponytail with one hand where his other hand still had the bandage around it. She passed a very strong glare at him. 

"Shocked to see me in this state, You know right, I am exactly 59 by now... I also did plastic surgery for you but it's only for hands..." - He said with the same evil smile but she didn't reply anything. 

"Please, Let me go..." - She tried for the last time. 

"You have to thank me, I saved your life from Tushara and his wife... Hopefully, within a day, They obviously kill all of your family members including shivaay... After that, There will be no way left for you other than reaching me..."  - Neel said. Even though her heartbeat skipped for a while hearing tushara's name after a long time. Her whole past glanced once in front of her eyes. 

"Freshen up and come downstairs for coffee..." - He said and kept her clothes on the edge of the bed and moved out. Anika exactly knew what she's going to do when she saw his phone on the dressing table. When she stepped down from the bed to take it. He quickly came back to the room and took his phone back with him. 

"Bad luck..." - He said and moved away. Anika grabbed the clothes and moved towards the washroom. Stood in front of the washbasin look out her reflection, She was very much frightened thinking about her family. She opened the faucet and washed her face uncountable times. Because to do what she planned, She needed courage.

"I am sorry, God... I had no other way to save my family... Please forgive me" - She whispered while looking at her diamond ring which she wore in her finger, It's her and Neel/Daksh's engagement ring. She moved towards the shower and bathed. Over then she saw a hammer nearer to the shower area. She thanked the god for showing her way. 

After half an hour, She moved out along with the hammer and kept it nearer to the staircase. And moved down. 

"Finally... It will be the utter waste if you find any way to escape... come let's have the breakfast..." - Neel said, She calmly went towards the dining and sat opposite to daksh. Smilingly, He poured out the coffee for her and placed it nearer to him. Her eyes went towards the coffee which he was drinking. She gulped the whole toast in one go when she saw him taking the toast from the same place. 

"Easy... Easy... We are not going out of food..."  - Daksh commented least knowing what's exactly going inside her head. She closed her palms tightly. she dropped the toast plate on the ground when she saw him immersed in his phone. Passing a glare he got to take the plate from the ground, Over then, She added the mixture which she kept in her palm in his coffee. And stayed normal when he got up from the ground. Her lips started to shiver in the tension, Whether it will work or not. But she stayed calm in front of daksh, Controlling her guilt and her fear in one hand. 

She was shocked when he took the coffee in one gulp, Tears automatically grouped in her eyes. But she controlled them. She never wanted to do it. But he compelled her to do that. Within a few minutes, He started to cough. When he moved towards the washbasin, He vomited blood. Over then, She moved towards the staircase and brought the hammer. Before he turns back to her, She hit him on his head. Over then, She revealed she mixed crushed diamond dust in his coffee which will work as a poison in a very few minutes. 

"Until I am alive, Nobody can even touch my children... And Hear it carefully, It will better for you to accept that, even death couldn't able to separate us... Who are you to play in the middle? It was our souls which bound with each other... And I always belong to him..." - Anika said when his eyes shut off. But he smiled. She took the same hammer and broke the glass window and jumped outside, Not before taking his phone. 

******

Before 5 hours...

Shivaay straightly came to his house when he got information about daksh from anika's father who searched in his house first and came to know Everybody is missing including his family members. But he got his phone number and decided to track it. He came towards his room and opened his laptop. The signal showed nearer to the Vellore district. Three hours away from him. He packed his bag And got ready to move. When he was about to go, Ritwik and Avinash caught him. He enquired about Aru and Khushi. Ritwik said, She's sleeping and Avinash said, She went to her house and told she will come back within minutes. 

"She's in Vellore..." - Shivaay told to Avinash who also wished to come along with him but shivaay stopped him and asked him to stay with everyone. While he went, Jahaan woke up from her sleep, moved towards shivaay held his hand. He took her in his arms and kissed her cheeks. 

"I will come back with anika... Don't worry, She's fine" - shivaay said and she hugged him tightly instead leaving him to go anywhere. Shivaay patted her back and moved towards the box which the security gave it to him. Keeping Jahaan in his arms, He started to uncover it. He got a letter while opening the box. It was more like a note. He opened it.

"TWO OUT... TWO MORE TO GO...  WELCOME BACK TO THE GAME, SHIVAAY..."  - TUSHARA. 

He was shocked, Two out, what he means by that. Jahaan smile at Avinash who was behind shivaay looking forward to the box. Shivaay's hands started to shiver in fear. He unboxed the box and he was literally taken back in shock. Shivaay held strongly jahaan's head towards his back. Shivaay's knees went weak, He collapsed in the floor but he never let jahaan to see it, Avinash was shocked and ritwik covered his mouth and rushed towards the washroom. 

"Om... Gauri..." - That was the only words whispered from shivaay's mouth when he saw their slaughtered head and packed in the package in a frozen state.
