Hello friends, thank you for your reviews in the "Ruskin Bond Booker's choice Awards" book. You can find it in my reading list named "Awards".   But yet if someone has not given it, please take 2 minutes of your time for me and do it. That would really mean a lot to me. From now, i will try to be regular.

So, here you go.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Maheshwari mansion,

Sanskar: Choti, just give me Shourya's number.

Uttara: Ha bhai...

Sanskar forwards the number to Alok. He is determined to find out who is behind all this.

Next morning, Alok visits Uttara's college. He calls Shaurya and introduces himself as Sanskar's pa and take him to canteen asking him to narrate exactly what happened.

Alok: okay, so you have seen the culprit right?

Shaurya: ya may be for a fraction of second.

Alok: come with me now and help us in drawing a sketch of him.

Shaurya: i haven't seen him clearly but i will try to tell you what all i can remember.

Alok: good.

As Alok was leaving with Shourya, Uttara and her friends sees them: Alok bhayya!!!

Alok turns to find Uttara and he smiles: hello Uttara!! How are you?

Uttara: i am fine bhai. You are here?

Alok: ya sir sent me to speak with Shaurya regarding yesterday's attack.

Kavya and Sakshi shocked: Attack?

Uttara narrates the whole thing to them.

Sakshi: oh my god...what is happening with us Uttara. I don't feel this college is safe. Few days back, those Rajat and Sahil, yesterday someone attacked with a gun and today morning again Rajat had teased you. I am getting negative vibes. May be we need to join in another college.

Kavya: relax Sakshi, that is not necessary. You are just over reacting.

Sakshi: but Kavya...

Alok: you were telling something about Rajat and Sahil. Who are they? And what did they do?

Uttara: nothing bhai. Leave it na.

Alok: will you tell me or shall i find out?

Hearing his stern voice, Kavya tells him everything from Rajat's misbehaviour to Shaurya's help. 

Kavya: Today also when we were coming here,

Flashback

In the corridor,

Rajat blocking Uttara's way: Hey beautiful, how are you?

Uttara turned her face not answering.  

Rajat: Now a days, I am seeing you more with that Shourya. What's going on ha?

Uttara: That's none of your business. Move aside.

Rajat: How dare you to answer me back. You...

Just then Sahil nudges him: Rajat, leave her for now...principal is coming this way.

Rajat: You are saved for today, but i am not going to leave you so easily. I will take what I want. Put that in your mind.

Flashback ends

Just then they hear angry shout from somewhere near Alok. So, all of them turn towards him. And he sees his mobile where accidentally he dialled Sanskar's number and now he heard everything.

Alok immediately placing it near his ear: sir, actually...

Sanskar roared: i will be there in 10 minutes. I want those two idiots infront of me by then.

Saying this he cut the call.

Alok to himself: now no one can save them. (To Shaurya) do you know where they can be now(for which Shaurya nods in yes) let's go get them.

They both leave from there while Uttara is scolding Sakshi: what is this yar, you know my brother right? Now he is going to kill them. Can't you just keep quiet for sometime?

Uttara(joining her hands in the form of a namasthe and closing her eyes): oh god, please please control my brother's anger. I promise i won't do such pranks again.

After around 10 minutes, Alok and Shaurya caught Rajat and Sahil and brought them to the entrance of the college where Sanskar has been waiting impatiently. Seeing them, his eyes turned red.

Suddenly the whole place started becoming dark as clouds covered the sun and strong wind started blowing, all the dry leaves and dirt started flying in the air. All stood in their places not understanding the sudden change in the atmosphere while Sanskar is still hitting them unaffected by all this.

Alok and Uttara rush towards him: bhai please leave them. They will die if you beat more. Please stop it.

Sanskar turning towards Uttara, he shouts: you just shut up. You lost your right to speak when you hid this big thing from me.

Taking this as a chance, Rajat took a stick which fell nearby and was about to hit Sanskar but then a heavy branch fell on his head because of which he fell unconscious.

Hearing Rajat's scream, everybody turn in that direction and got shocked as of how such a heavy branch fell down just because of the wind.

Turning towards Sahil, Sanskar: this is my final warning. Don't you dare mess with my sister. Next time, if i hear anything as such, then you will be "OVER". Now take him to the hospital, i don't want his death go into the account of nature.

Sanskar: thanks a lot Shaurya... I owe you a lot for saving us twice.

Shaurya: it's okay sir. I just did it out of humanity.

Sanskar gives him a short smile and turns towards Alok: take Shaurya with you and do all that you can to find the one who attacked on us. I don't think these two has got something to do with it. (He gives a look at Sahil for which Sahil shakes his head in no vigorously)

Sanskar: good. I have some work, keep me updated Alok.

As he was about to leave, Uttara: bhai!!

He stopped though not looking at her.

Uttara: you are going to "Suraksha" home right? i will also come with you.

Hearing no reply, she follows him and they both rode off to their favorite place.

In the car,

Uttara: I am sorry bhai. Please speak with me. I didn't want you to get tensed. That's why i didn't tell you.

Sanskar: I warned you na choti not to do anything crazy on your very first day but you....

Uttara keeping a puppy face: pucca vala promise that i won't repeat it again.

Looking at her cute face through mirror, Sanskar couldn't be angry anymore.

Sanskar smiling: please be careful Choti. I just can't bear if anything happens to you three. I have already lost... (He couldn't control himself and tears started flowing)

Understanding his pain, she side hugs him wiping freshly formed tears in her eyes.

After an hour, the car stopped at a house which is in between the fields. The weather now again started becoming normal. Walking on the pavement to the house,

Sanskar: Today's weather is so unpredictable. Looks like it is having mood swings too.

Uttara giggles at his statement and rushes inside to meet the people in the house. Everybody were sitting in the hall waiting for Sanskar as he visits the home on this day every year. And they got very happy to see Uttara too with him. After greeting everyone,

Sanskar: Shyam kaka, please get all the gift packets from the car. (turning towards a lady) Where are the kids?

Lady: They are playing in the backyard. Come with me sir. I need to introduce someone to you.

Sanskar goes along with her and is very happy to see smile on the little kids faces. Looking at him, they rushes towards him and shared a group hug.

Lady: sir, meet Swara... from last three months, she is helping us in taking care of the kids here. (turning towards Swara) Swara and he is the founder of this trust Mr. Sanskar Maheshwari. You both keep talking. I need to see few arrangements. (Sanskar was inwardly very happy to see Swara but then maintaining his expression less face only)

Swara: Wow, I can't believe that the most arrogant and egoistic man can do something so nice like this. Well, I must say...very impressive Mr. Maheshwari. So, shall we be friends?

Sanskar rolling his eyes: Not again.

Saying this he left from there to distribute sweets, chocolates and new clothes to all the elders as well as kids. While Uttara who came there in search of her brother was very happy to see Swara: Bhabhi, you also came here. Cool, so bhai told you about this place.

Swara confused: Excuse me.

Uttara: Areey, you didn't recognize me. I am Uttara, Sanskar Maheshwari's one and only cute little sister. We met in the temple na.

Swara smiling: ya ya. I just remembered. So, this trust is yours right?

Uttara nods in yes.

Swara: Just out of curiosity, I wanted to know why it is named as "Suraksha"?

Uttara smiling: Bhai gave that name as he wanted all the people who are homeless mainly old people and children specially mentally retarded kids come and stay safely here.

Swara: But you know Uttara, seeing your brother, you can never think that he could do something like this. I mean i really doubt whether he knows how to smile or not?

Uttara laughing: Bhabhi, if you would have known him 5 years back na, then you would have married him by now. He was so hot and handsome always smiling. But one day has changed our lives and the most affected person was my brother.  

Uttara's expressions changed. It was like she is about burst out into tears but then Sanskar calls her: Choti, come on lets leave. It's getting late.

Uttara hugging Swara: Bye bhabhi!!

Swara: Bye Uttara. Take care. 

And they both leave from there.
