Bela and Mahir prayed along others with closed eyes and folded hands. Some kind of negative vision of newly wedded couple, praying there, come infront of Bela and Mahir. Both tried to see furthere or may be remember more.

Groom: Shiv ji, I promise, I will give protection to my love throughout my life. My love on her will multiply. I will keep her happy as much as I can.

Bride: Shiv ji, I promise, I will be with my love on all his ups and downs. I will give my love to support him. I won't let my love as obstacle in his way. I will give him all happiness in the world.

Both held their hands and looked at each other with tears of joy.

Groom: I love you, Bela!!

Bride: I love you, Mahir!!

Both Bela and Mahir opened their eyes with jolt and looked at eachother in shock. Then turned away immediately, pretending to be casual.

Bela (thinks): I should stop thinking about Mahir, atleast for a while. Due to that I am getting weird dreams even when I am awake.

Mahir (thinks): Now a days, my wish is coming infront of me as a day dream. Shiv ji, bless us to get marry soon, so that I won't get dreams like this, instead of real ones.

Pratham: from where will we start our research?

Boltu: Haveli!! But already we are out of energy, that is very big. We will loss our remaining energy just by thinking where to start inside Haveli.

Suhani: then, why don't we start our research from this temple only. Then we can think tomorrow how to search inside Haveli.

Anu: yes, that will be best. We can find anything here too.

Everyone looked at Mahir and Bela for their opinion and find themselves lost in their thoughts. Adi and Yuvi went near them and shouted their names in their ears. Both came to sense with jerk and looked at others.

Pratham: where were you lost both of you? Both started daydreaming also?

Both looked at him with shock and realised that he was teasing. Anu filled them with their plan and waited for their reply.

Mahir: That sounds good. Also, we have to go back, before it becomes dark. So, just search in this temple.

Everyone noded and started examining the temple's every nook and corner.

Boltu (shouted): guys!! See, what I have found?

Others (eagerly): what did you found?

Boltu (excitedly): This is very small size bell but with heavy weight. It is very old one, i guess. Also, the sound...

Yuvi: Boltu!! We are not archeologist but herpetologist. Concentrate on the work, for what we came for.

Boltu: what I meant to say is, this temple might be old one.

Adi: didn't you realise it from the look of temple?

Boltu smiled sheepishly.  They again started examining every nook and corner of the temple.

Bela: Guys, see here, something is written here but very minute. Let's read it using magnigicient glass.

Bela took magnificient glass from her back, Anu grabbed it from her.

Anu: I will read it.

She examined it with glass and made faces.

Anu: I couldn't interpret anything from this. These words are more like powdered jalebis.

Adi: Give it to me, I will try.

He took the glass from her and tried to read, but he too couldn't read as the language was different. Others also tried one by one, but no one can read it. Mahir took the glass and tried to read.

Mahir: This temple belongs to Shesha Vansh icchadari naags. This temple is the gift by Lord Shiva to Shesha vansh Naags when they become icchadari naags by the boon from Lord Shiva. Thakshak Vansh and Nidyok Vansh Naags can also visit this temple, but this temple only belongs to Shesha Vansh.

Everyone looked at him with astonishment. Bela took the glass from him and she tried to read that. She too read the same like Mahir.

Pratham: what language is this?

Suhani: Might be sanskrit. Because in temple's and all, mostly they use sanskrit only na.

Mahir (thinks): Sanskrit!! I don't know anyother language other than Hindi and English. Also, if it is Sanskrit, others can read too, because, sanskrit is similar to Hindi, I have heard. It might be someother language. But how I read it?

Bela (thinks): Sanskrit!! I don't know anyother language other than Hindi and English. Also, if it is Sanskrit, others can read too, because, sanskrit is similar to Hindi, I have heard. It might be someother language. But how I read it?

Adi: whatever the language, it is confirmed now that icchadhari naags are true. We got proof for that.

Mahir: yeah, but this proof is not enough, Adi. Because, we believe Bela and can confirm that with this. But others won't just accept that with this proof.

Boltu: so, are you going to take a snap of them?

Mahir: nope, but we should try to find any other things related to them. Like their skin or bones. We can prove that with some medical research as icchadhari Naags.

Pratham: already, I am afraid of snakes. Now, icchadari snakes means human+snakes=human snakes. Oh gosh!! They will be more scary.

Adi: Suhani, how you fell for this coward? Your life is going to be so boring.

Suhani: I love his innocence very much.

By saying that she kissed his cheeks. He smiled and kissed back her cheeks.

Bela: excuse me, this is temple. You can continue your romance in home. Let's go to home. It's already evening. We have to walk so much distance.

Mahir: yes, we will go back. Tomorrow, we will start from home early morning itself, so that we can get more time to search here.

Everyone agreed and got out of temple. Anu pulled back Adi by holding his collor and looked at him with puppy face. Adi kissed her cheeks and picked her in his arms, understanding she couldn't walk and wanted him to carry her.

Pratham: Suhani, if you wish I will carry you.

Suhani: really, OMG!! but I know you can't and I can walk. So, no issues.

Pratham: don't underestimate the power of common man!!

Boltu: Guys, enough!! You guys are making me miss Kuhu more because of your ignorance towards me and Yuvi. Always, wanna be as couple, then why you guys came as group?

Yuvi: Chill, Boltu!! Let's conduct a competition. Boys should carry girls till the place we took rest. Couple who didn't stop for a while even will be winner. Let's start from here only.

Mahir and Bela's eyes meet eachother's hearing Yuvi.

Mahir (thinks): While coming you forbid me to carry you na. Now see, God itself favoured me.

Bela (thinks): what to do? Your friends also mad like you.

Mahir (thinks): Love towards girlfriend seems like mad to you.

Bela (thinks): Yes, because, you guys are madly in love with us.

Both smiled at eachother and moved towards each other without taking eyes off from eachother. Mahir picked Bela in his arms and kissed her forehead. They forgot everyone around them. They put away all their confusions from their mind just by getting lost in eachother. Mahir's legs walked in the direction automatically whereas his heart, mind and eyes are connected with Bela's heart, mind and eyes. Bela smiled and kissed his cheeks.

Mahir: what sins did my lips do?

Bela smiled and pecked his lips. Mahir joints his forehead with hers. How many hours passed they didn't know. Suddenly Bela realised darkness and looked around. Others were going infront of them only. They reached the plave where they took rest and boys dropped the girls at the same time.

Yuvi: your guys love are strong love. I didn't see any kind of struggle in anyone's face till you guys reach.

While couple's hugged eachother, Yuvi's eyes searched for Ananya silently. Just then Ananya came there and hide behind tree and looked at Yuvi. Yuvi sensed her presence inside him and turned in the direction where she was hidden and turned back to others with dull face as he couldn't see her and cursed himself as he felt her presence as illusion. Everyone resumed their walk towards the home. Ananya's eyes were fixed on Yuvi and her legs automatically followed him. Suddenly, she looked at Bela and Mahir and sweet smile made it way towards her lips and she said in lost state.

Ananya: Maha naagrani Bela and Maha Naagraj Mahir!!
