Next Morning is a quiet one. Ruhana is still hurt by the previous day's incident. Though she knows that the guy she met isn't Vinay, but she's still hurt. She won't forgive him, and she has decided the note. It's Saturday, and so Ruhana decides to meet Bulbul and other kids at the orphanage. She takes a shower and gets dressed. She then moves downstairs and finds her parents drinking tea.

"Beta, tu thik hai na?" Tarika asks as Ruhana takes a place beside her.

"Han Maa. I'm okay. Infact, main soch rahi thi ki Bulbul aur baaki bachon se mil loon. Shayad main better feel karungi." Ruhana says looking at her parents.

"Haan beta! Tum jao. Tumhe bhi acha lagega. Aur ghabrao mat, ab sab thik hai." Abhijeet says.

Ruhana sighs deeply. She looks at her parents.

"Abhi toh phir se sab bikharta hua lagta hai, papa. Lekin, maybe, I should forget that." Ruhana says as she takes the sip of the tea, her mother gets for her.

Abhijeet pats her head.

" Sab acha hoga bache. Mere rehte meri bachi ke sath sab acha hi hoga. Ab tum jao aur apne nanhe doston se milo, acha lagega. " he says.

Ruhana nods and leaves the house after collecting gifts for the kids.

Ujwal Savera Orphanage

Bulbul is sitting on the swing in the back garden of the home which is her favourite place when either she's too happy or she's really sad and also when she's in some deep thinking. Bulbul is thinking about her parents though she never knew them but she misses them a lot. and the last night incident when Chetan was missing his parents made her spirits go low. But she didn't want her punters and anyone to bother about her, so she silently moved to her favourite place to spend some time alone with herself.

Her trance is broken with a soft touch on her head. Bulbul looks up and is surprised to see the person standing in front of her. She blinks her eyes.

"Aap sachi mein yahan ho?? I mean main sapna toh nahi dekh rahi na!" Bulbul blinks her eyes.

" Han meri gudiya! I am here." she hears the feminine voice.

She looks up at the person, who's a pretty girl, her "Ruu Di". She hugs her tightly.

"I misshed you Di." Bulbul says.

Ruhana smiles and kisses her head.

"Main jaanti thi, isliye toh aa gayi yahan, sabse milne." Ruhana says.

Meanwhile, Asha Maa and punters come into the garden and are astonished to find Ruhana. The kids run towards Ruhana and hug her, while Asha Maa follows them.

"Ruhana, what a pleasant surprise? Kaisi ho tum?" The lady asks.

"Main thik hoon Ma, aap kaise ho?" Ruhana asks.

"Tumhari is nanhi shaitan ne jaan nikal di thi meri!!" Asha maa says while glaring at Bulbul.

"Bulbul! Kya kiya tumne?" Ruhana asks.

Bulbul looks at Ruhana and Asha Maa respectively. She's scared.

"Maine kya kiya? Maine toh shaitani bhi nahi ki!! Sach mein, Di. " she says innocently while looking at Ruhana.

"Bas chup chap aake yahan baith gayi. Hum kitna darr gaye they Bulbul di." Mehul says slapping his own forehead.

"Aur aapki wajah se Maa se dant bhi khayi." Sonal says making a face.

Asha Maa smiles looking at their antics. Ruhana too smiles.

"Par Maa tumse pyar bhi toh karti hain na. Kyun satate ho tum log inhe??" Ruhana asks looking at the kids.

"Di ab aap hi batao, hum shararat nahi karenge toh kaun karega?" Sonal says.

"Exactly Di. Aur waise bhi, aaj main yunhi yahan baithi thi. Sorry Ma! Par kisi se baat karne ka mann nahi tha." Bulbul says.

Asha maa smiles and lets the children interact with Ruhana. Ruhana distributes the gifts to the kids, which they opened cheerfully, some got toys, some gots stationery or other items. Bulbul looks at Ruhana.

" Mera gift kahan hai? " she asks innocently.

Ruhana smiles, she places a small gift wrapped box on her hand. Bulbul opens it and it unboxes into a beautiful neckpiece, which has a locket of Bulbul's name initial. She chuckles.

"Wow! This is beautiful. Thank you di!" she says and hugs Ruhana.

Ruhana smiles while Bulbul asks her to tie the chain in her neck. Ruhana ties it and Bulbul chuckles once again,hugging her. Then ruhana looks at her.

"Tu thik hai na?" she asks.

"Aap aa gayi ho na, main ekdum thik hoon."Bulbul says placing her head on Ruhana's shoulder.

" Sure na! Main tujhe ache se jaanti hoon." Ruhana eyes her little sister.

" Oh yesh Di! Aap hi toh samajhte ho, varna mere mumma papa toh waise bhi mujhe chod ke chale gaye. Ab toh bas aap ho jisse main baatein kar sakti hoon aur sab kuch share kar sakti hoon. " Bulbul says.

Ruhana feels bad for the girl but she tells her that she can always confide in her and tell her what's bothering her. Bulbul hugs Ruhana and at the same time Rahul looks at Bulbul.

" Waise bulbul Di, aap yahan kya kar rahi thi? Kya soch rahi thi?? Sab thik hai na?" He asks.

"Arey, am fine. Main soch rahi thi chetan ko kya gift doon?" she says thoughtfully.

"Koi idea mila??" Mehul asks.

"Nai!! Par ek idea toh hai!!" Bulbul says while looking at her punters.

"Kya chal rhaa hai tere shaitani dimag mein??" Ruhana asks slapping lightly on Bulbul's head.

"Arey dii!! Chetan ka mood on karne ke liye hum picnic pe ja sakte hain." Bulbul says.

"Par asha maa ko kaun manayega?" Sonal asks.

"Haan wo toh kabhi nahi maanengi." Mehul says.

"han! Rehne do Bulbul Di. Mera birthday hi toh hain. Jaane do!" chetan says sadly.

Though Asha Maa is very caring for the kids, she loves them as her own children. Being a mother she is always worried about their safety. She takes them on outings too, but only on special occasions. The children are worried that she may not agree for the picnic. Bulbul Side hugs Chetan.

"Aise kaise jaane de? Hum picnic pe jayenge. Ruu Di help karengi" she looks at her elder sister.

Ruhana shakes her head but agrees for the happiness of these kids. Bulbul and punters hug her, thanking her for her efforts, they know she loves them dearly.

Secret Hideout...

Makhija and his goons are in the place, when one of his goons come to him.

"Ek information hai boss!!" he says.

"Toh jaldi bol! Muhurat nikalvaun kya main?" Makhija looks at them.

"Nai boss... darasal khabar ACP Vineet ke baare mein hai. Hamare aadmiyon ne ACP Vineet ko forest ranger se miltey hue dekha hai. Shayad vo jungle ki jankari chahta hai usse. Par usey jungle mein kya dilchaspi hone lagi!" The goon says.

"Fir toh hamara plan to bilkul full proof nikla." Makhija laughs.

" Kya matlab boss!" the goon asks.

Makhija looks at him.

"Agar matlab samajh jata toh aaj tu bhu kisi gang ka leader hota. Arey vo jungle ki jankari isliye ikatthi kar raha hai taaki vo hamara maal pakad sake par usey kya pata ki jis raste pe vo nazar gadhaye baitha hai hamara maal us rastey se nai balki dusre raste se jayega. Bechara hamara intezar karta reh jayega aur sara maal shehar mein aa bhi jayega aur bant bhi diya jayega.... Aur vo ACP kuch nai kar payega." makhija laughs evilly.

Police station

Vineet calls for his men. Both his men enter the cabin and look at her.

" Kuch information mili un drug smugglers ki! " he asks.

Both officers look at each other with scared faces while Vineet studies their faces.

" Na bolne ki toh himmat bhi mat karna.... Samjhe!" Vineet says angrily.

"Aisi baat nahi hai sir, bas vo informer Humein sab bata de fir hum...." Vineet cut Madan.

"Oh shut up! Kab se yahi bakwas sun raha hun informer aayegi toh batayegi. Informer degi baki information. Mujhe toh lagta hai ki aisi koi informer hai hi nai, bas hamara time waste ho raha hai aur kaan khol k sunlo, agar vo consignment sheher mein enter hua toh mujhse bura koi nahi hoga. Mujhe jald se jald us drug deal se judi har ek information chahiye... got that! Now leave..."he orders them and they leave the cabin.

Both officers leave and in next two days the informer tells them about the drug dealers between whom the deal is going to happen and all the other dealers too, but she too, is unaware of Makhija's plan to enter city from other shortcuts as this information is safe with only his 2-3 important goons.

*****
Ruhana convinces Asha Maa about the picnic but on terms that all children of the orphanage will go on picnic and all the supporters and charity donors of the orphanage will also be invited.

Abhijeet had some important meeting that day and Tarika too had some important task to do so Ruhana agreed to go there. Also, Vinay decided to meet Ruhaana there as it could be their good chance to know each other and spend time with orphan children.

Finally the big day comes, and it is the same day Makhija's drug consignment is to enter the city. It is a big day for all of them.

*****
Vineet with his police force is waiting at secluded shortcut area of forest whereas Makhija's trucks with whole consignment are heading towards city from shortcut of kali pahadi. Here Asha maa, with children and staff after going to Kali pahadi mandir comes to picnic spot which is at a short distance from the temple. The charity donors who could make it through their busy schedule also arrived. They distributed gifts and sweets among children. Ruhana too arrives there and meets Asha Ma. She asks her about Abhijeet and Tarika.

" Sorry aunty, actually papa ki koi important meeting thi aur mumma ko bhi last moment pe kuch kam aa gaya, isliye wo nahi aa paye. unhone aapse mafi bhi mangne ko kaha ...." Ruhana says.

" Koi baat nai beta. lekin vo log bhi aate to mujhe aur bachon ko acha lagta aur fir ap sab families jo khoon ka rishta na hotey hue bhi in bachon ka dhyan rakhtey ho, inke apne hi toh ho.... Aur aisi picnic k bahane bachon ko aplogo k sath kafi time mil jata hai waqt bitaney k liye... kuch pal k liye hi sahi par ek parivar ki tarah time spend kr letey hain..." Asha Maa says.

" Aunty aisi baatein kyu kar rahe ho aap! Ye sab bache hamari family ka hissa hi toh hain. Aur fir jitna sukun in bacho k sath waqt bitaney mein milta hai uska kya muqabla... I am glad I could make it. " Ruhana says.

Asha Maa smears her head.

"Bahut saaf dil hai apka Ruhana beta. Khush raho..." she blesses her.

" Acha aunty main zara bachon se milkar aati hoon.. Chetan ko wish kardun." she says.

Asha maa nods and then Ruhana leaves to meet the kids who are playing and chit chatting and chasing each other and doing every kind of stuff they wanted to do. Ruhana wishes chetan for his birthday and begins talking with the kids, all the while she's searching for someone, when a pair of hands blindfolded her eyes. She froze at her place for a moment.

"Ab time mila apni di se baat karne ka tujhe?" she opens the blindfold and turns to Bulbul.

"Kya di! Fir se pehchaan liya! Not fair." Bulbul says.

"I know you very well." Ruhana says and pats her cheek.

"Acha fir laao mera gift." Bulbul says and forwards her hand towards her.

And at the same time, an unknown voice greets them as well.

"Gift toh mujhe bhi chahiye."

Bulbul is clueless about the person while Ruhana manages to smile.

To Be Continued.

Which gift is Bulbul talking about?

And who's the other person asking for gift?

Will Vineet be able to stop the consignment and arrest Makhija?

Stay tuned.
