Meanwhile with Siddharth. He was sleeping peacefully. Avneet was lying on coach thinking about each and everything. When Siddharth's phone rang. Siddharth was in deep sleep but Avneet woke up. She took his phone and saw name. Her heart skipped a beat.

She notice Siddharth stirred in sleep. As she don't want to disturb him. She took his phone and went out of room.

Avneet went in living area to see Khushi there. Khushi was painting something on book. Khushi heard phone's ring and turned to see Avneet.

Khushi: Chachi you here?
Avneet: Umm... You are awake till now?
Khushi: I was not sleepy and don't wanted to disturb Ruhi.
Avneet (nodded): Simran is calling but Siddharth is sleeping. I don't want to disturb him.
Khushi: I can talk with her?

Avneet nodded and passed her phone. Khushi received call and kept it on speaker.

Simran (muffled voice): Hello sir?
Khushi (concerned): Hey! It's me khushi. Chachu is sleeping. You are calling at this time. Is everything alright? Are you crying?
Simran (sobbing): I need someone.
Khushi (calmly): Calm down sweetie. I am here, Okay? You can share with me what happened? I will try to help you. First you calm down then tell me what happened.

Avneet was silently listening everything. Listening Simran's broken and helpless voice. She was feeling guilty.

Simran: How can I trust someone? See sir met me a few days ago. He is my friend now. He bought dinner, pancakes, lunch for me. He is doing everything what I always wanted someone to do for me but why sir is doing all this? When in all this years my own parents don't even thought for me. Why he is doing then?

Avneet and khushi got shock. Avneet was cursing herself in mind.

Khushi (shocked): Hey! You are taking him wrong girl. He don't have any bad intentions for you. He is Gem as person. Don't think anything like this about him.
Simran (sobbing): Then why he is doing all this for me?

Khushi got quiet not knowing what to say now. She can't share truth. Avneet took khushi's book and pencil. She wrote something on book and handed it to khushi.

Simran (irritated): Answer me damn it.
Khushi (taking deep breath): Cool down first. You calm down first. Take a deep breath.

Simran harshly wiped her tears and took breath.

Khushi: Listen dear.... He is doing everything because for him you are like his daughter. See, he is an orphan. So, he knows very well how it feels. He is trying to ease your pain that's it. He is trying to give you family feels.
Simran: Why so? I mean he have you as his daughter then why me?
Khushi (sighed): Simran... As I told you he is orphan. He is trying to erase your pain. He don't want you to feel lone.
Simran (controlling her sobs): But that's my problem. When my own parents don't care then why he?
Khushi: Because this is his nature. Okay.... Umm.... You know he is trustee of many schools.
Simran: Yeah.
Khushi (took deep breath): Listen to me when I was in 8th. I was in different school and dad in different. In school there was a Sir who was behind me. He used to touch me and ummm.....

She was trying to say.

Simran: I understood what you want to say. You can continue. Leave that.
Khushi (smiling little): Thanks... umm... All this was going on for two months. I was scared of Sir. Even Sir threatened me that he will fail me in exam or throw me out of school. I was too young to understand that his threat is nothing. I was quite. I used to skip school. I mean I used to leave from home in bus. On reaching school I used to run away hiding from all. I used to sit in park which was nearby. Once, chachu came there for inspection. He saw me in park. I was in school uniform. He noticed it. He scolded me. I got scared of him and left for lectures. In lunch break. That sir called me in lab. Chachu noticed that too. So he waited till lunch break even though his work was done. At lunch break. When I went in lab as sir asked me. Chachu followed me and caught him red handed. He immediately took action and threw sir in police station. He informed my parents. I was free then but chachu knew I was scared and need time. So, he arranged home schooling for me, for a month. He personally used to come home and teach me. He used to collect notes from my classmates and helped me. That time Ofcourse my parents left everything for me but along with them chachu was there with me. Chachu and me became best friends then. Still I was scared to go to school. So, he joined as teacher. After every class he used to come to me and assure me that he is around and I am safe. That's when we got know he don't have anyone. Mom, Dad started treating him as family. That's how he became a part of our family. He is pure Okay. Don't you dare to think anything wrong for my chachu. About your school. Dad is there since long but recently chachu joined it and yes he is trustee as well.
