Vansh's pov :

With a knock, Kamala came inside. I gestured her to sit. As soon as she sat, she says "Sir, I have decided to take my FIR back." What and I immediately questioned her "Why?" and waited for her response. "Sir, that guy you saw that day ruined my life. His name is Shaam. When I was 16, he used to eve tease and harass me, when I told my parents about it. He manipulated them and told them we have something going on. My father got very angry, he even beat me and then married me off. My husband was a very supportive person. He really took care of me but unfortunately he died. My in laws were so cruel. After my husband's death they never treated me like a human and even blamed me for his death. When my patience level ended I left from there to my parents place. To support my family I started doing home chores of people. But he again entered my life and again started doing the same. He again led my father to believe that we were together. My father didn't listen to me and kicked me out of the house. It was 3 am in the morning. I didn't have anywhere to go. I walked away from my parents home. When I was at the place where you saw me. He came running behind me. And ask me to listen to him. He confessed his love for me and asked me for marriage but I couldn't. Because of him I was kicked out twice. How can I marry that person who ruined my life. But still I politely declined him. He couldn't take rejection lightly. Instead he dragged me inside that broken house. And you know what happened further." She started crying.

"Then why are you taking your FIR back? He needs to get punished." I said controlling my anger. She said "After that incident, he called me and threatened me with a video. He morphed my face onto someone's body, which is not at all appropriate. And when I again went to file a complaint, the police didn't took my complaint. Later I got to know that he had bribed them." She started crying hysterically. I didn't know what to do. I just passed her a glass of water and few tissues papers. Hearing her my blood boiled. This one time I trusted the government but only got disappointment in return. That guy deserves punishment and now I will give him the punishment which he will never forget. He should pee in his pants even if he thinks to disrespect or molest a women.

"I'm taking my FIR back and immediately leave this city. I don't want to stay here. I will go far away." She said. I told her "Listen you can take the FIR back and show that guy you are scared of him. If he asks you to meet him then accept it." She looked at me in disbelief. I continued saying "He deserves punishment and I will give him. Don't worry I be there when you meet him. It'll be a trap for him to come out of his hiding place. You are like a sister to me and I will not like my sister to be treated like that. And I can never forgive him for what he did. Trust me we will find him and give him what he deserves."

She looked at me with her teary eyes and said "I am really thankful to god for sending someone like you in my life. Now I only have you as my family. Can I call you bhaiya?" I nodded my head. Again I said "And I am offering you a job at my home as a caretaker. You are also given a place to stay. Only if you want." "Why would I decline this offer? I would gladly accept this offer. You solved all my problems and I know I'll be safe there" She immediately said and with this conversation she happily went outside.

Riddhama's pov :

It was night time, I couldn't sleep as usual. Bua is oiling my hairs. After that she started braiding my hair. She initiated the conversation "I know you must know about the proposal." I kept quiet. She continued saying "I always wanted a daughter and got one in you. I love to do all the works of you. Like cooking for you, helping you to organize your cupboard and even oiling your hair." I looked at her, she had tears in her eyes. I sat beside her and wiped her tears. I also had tears in my eyes. She said " I know one day or the other you are going to marry and will go away from me. And I don't want that. So I thought that if you and Kabir got married then you will stay with me forever. I told Kabir about that and he didn't accept it at first. But later agreed to that. I didn't force him and I'm not going to force you. I just want you to think about it with an open heart."

"YES" I said. She looked at me confused and asked "Yes?" I said "Yes, for the thing you said." I couldn't say anything further or clarify. I was blushing really hard. I could feel my cheeks burning. She said "What thing" and reality hit her she again questioned me "Are you saying YES for marriage?" I couldn't speak, I just nodded. "Don't tell me you're lying?" She asked me. I don't know how I managed to form a sentence but I said "I'm not lying." She immediately engulfed me in a hug. It was soo tight that it was making me hard to breathe.

After leaving me she went outside jumping in happiness. I was also happy seeing her. But then I remember that I'm getting married to my best friend. Remembering that I got knots in my stomach. How will I face kabir? I don't want anything to change in between me and him.
