Murat's POV

"She is not picking up my call, she left with her dad and now she is not picking up my call do you know what that means?" I asked shaking Abhi by his shoulders non stop.

"Considering the fact that you are worried about it, I think it means you are totally paranoid" Karan said and I gave him a dirty look.

"It's not funny what if her family emotionally blackmailes her into never meeting me ever again what will we do then?"

"Dude she is not 19" Yash said.

"What is this like your first relationship?" Isha asked.

"Yeah" I said.

"Oh my god" Shafeena said.

"Okay guys why don't all of us step outside and let Abhi work" Mehak said.

"Is it me or is Mehak a little too worried about Abhi and his work these days?" Isha asked as we walked out.

"I am gonna die alone" I said.

"What?"

"It took me so long to find a perfect girl if I loose her I would probably spend the rest of my life looking for someone like her and eventually end up dying alone because no one can replace Anusha"

"Just keep walking and forget I ever talked to you" Isha said as she pushed me outside the room.

Anusha's POV

"What the hell, he can't do that"

"I did that! It doesn't matter, you're marrying him, that's it!" My father shouted.

"Wha- Dad! It's my life! And you're saying my choice doesn't matter?" I argued back.

"You deserve it, after having a relationship with that good-for-nothing Murat and not even telling us," Dad snapped. "Get ready, dulhe wale aate hi honge (The groom will be here soon)" Dad said and left the room.

I burst into tears. For years I had looked for someone who would be perfect for me, but when I finally found the one, everything turns upside down and my father wants me  to marry someone else!

My mum hugged me and tried to console me. After that, she took me to a room to get ready.

I got ready in a red saree and put on a bit of makeup and tied my hair in a high bun. I looked totally cultural. Exactly how my parents wanted me to look.

I came back to the living room with a tray of tea, like a sanskari (well mannered) girl.

When I looked up to see who I was getting married to, I was shocked!! It was none other than Junaid, who broke me up with Zafar, according to Abhi and Karan.

After a bit of chatting, my father said, "We'll leave the two of you alone."

"So..." Junaid, or Ranjeeth, said as he walked towards me. I took a step back. "Roop."

So he remembered!!

"Junaid." I copied him.

"This marriage isn't going to happen," I said angrily.

He laughed.

"It is not up to you," he said.

"Why are you doing this? Why can't you just leave us alone? What did you do to convince father for this marriage?" I asked a little calmly.

"Convince? I didn't convince anyone, in fact your dad was the one who came to me to fix the wedding" Ranjeeth said.

I was shocked!! Why would my own father do that??

But I couldn't believe him, after all he was a traitor.

***

Abhi's POV-

This book that this girl Piya gave me seems interesting. It even has my character.

I guess I didn't have to read the things I already knew.

So I flipped my book a few pages to the days Roop, Zafar, Ruhani, Junaid, Sukhveer and Manpreet used to spend together. I didn't knew a lot about that since I used to be busy with the palace.

They seemed so happy together!!

The group had got to know about Roop and Zafar's relationship, and we were all very happy for them. Who would have thought the boy and girl that fought the most became an actual couple!! I and Sukhveer, were of course still the cutest couple!

Everything seemed so nice! Well, everything except the fact that Roop was getting married. But the Raja saheb seemed like a genuinely good person, but again the problem was the fact that Roop was in love!

She and Zafar were fighting again! These two! We were actually getting annoyed. No flirting, no kisses and hugs, all they do is fight! But still they love each other!

If you're wondering where we are,  we are sitting under the shade of a tree and talking. Roop and Zafar are fighting, Manpreet and Sukhveer were discussing ideas for his new poem, Junaid wasn't here yet, and I was writing in this  book. I write everything about the six of us because I want our friendship and our feelings to be forever, and I want to trap a part of that in this book.

Now suddenly, Roop has been called from someone behind the tree. I wonder who that must be.

As I read Ruhani's writing, I started remembering something more.

The past-

Bhabhi had gone to a market nearby and so I decided to take a walk alone, as she didn't seem to like me tagging along with her wherever she went.

Suddenly, I saw the back of a man. I immediately recognized him because of his hairstyle. Junaid.

He was talking to Roop, my wife to be.

"Kya haal hain Junaid? (How are you, Junaid?)" I asked as he finished giving something to Roop and turned around to face me.

"Arey saab, kuch zyada nahi, bas Roop se kuch zaroori baat thi, toh isliye bas... (Nothing much sir, I had something important to talk about with Roop, so...)" He replied.

"Dev ji, aap yaha kaise? (Dev sir, how come you're here?)" Roop asked, surprised. Bhabhi had asked her to call me Dev ji.

"Bhabhi sa ka kuch kaam tha, Bhai sa ne kaha hum bhi unke saath chalein. (Sister in law had some work, brother said I should go with her.)"

"Main aap dono ko akela chod deti hu.
Aap dono beth ke baat kijiye," Roop said and left.

"Toh Junaid ji, baataiye kya khabar hain?" I asked as I sat down.

Present-

I was surprised! Did that have anything to do with what Ruhani wrote? About Roop getting called? What would Junaid give to Roop?

I continued reading.

Now that Roop has left I have nothing to do, so I start staring at Sukhveer. He looked deep in thoughts, probably didn't even know a girl was starting at him with dreamy eyes.

There comes Roop.

She said someone had given her something to give to Manpreet. What could someone possibly give Manpreet?

I saw it was a role of parchment and it once Manpreet read what was written in it, she started blushing. This was weird! What would someone write to Manpreet that would make her completely red? Sukhveer tried snatching the parchment from Manpreet, but Manpreet had clasped it tightly.

I could see the rest of the group was just as surprised as I was. Did someone love Manpreet?

Sukhveer asked Roop who had sent her the parchment. She replied saying it was Manpreet's secret admirer, making us even more shocked.

Looks like someone found love!!

I finished reading the page. So someone did love Manpreet, and I was pretty sure I knew who, but I couldn't come to any conclusions, could I?

Just then, I remember something else.

The past-

I was walking along the streets. Bhai had told me to meet Roop, but I didn't want to disturb her, and so decided to just walk.

I spotted the group a few paces before. I decided to go meet them.

As I walked. I heard what they were talking. I hid behind a tree and started eavesdropping.

"Aaj Zafar aaya nahi? (Today Zafar didn't come?)" Ruhani asked as Junaid walked to them.

It looked as if Ruhani was teaching Manpreet to do embroidery. Ruhani seemed to be an expert. She was  doing it rapidly and still managing to talk non-stop. 

But unlike Ruhani, Manpreet seemed to be a beginner, and so she was asking Ruhani what to do and was very slow, and embroidery was the only thing she was concentrating on, so she couldn't talk to anyone and would snap if anyone disturbed her 

"Nahi, uska kuch kaam tha, bol raha tha ki usse Raja saheb ne bulaya hain (No, he had some work, he said that the king had called him)" Junaid said.

"Phirse? Iss hafte woh sirf Raja saab ke kaam karta raha, humse toh mila hi nahi!! (Again? He's been busy with the king the whole week, he didn't even meet us!!)" Manpreet said, annoyed, looking up finally.

"Manpreet, dhyan se!! (Manpreet, be careful!!)" Junaid almost shouted.

Next thing I heard was a loud scream. Literally the loudest scream I had ever heard.

It turned out Manpreet had pricked herself with a needle. She was so bad at embroidery that even when he looked up even for a second, she pricked herself.

She hadn't got much hurt, just a hole through her skin and a little bleeding, but she was already crying and weeping dramatically.

Junaid seemed way too worried. He was like, "Oh no, what happened? Does it hurt? Please don't cry!!", taking her hand in his. So much fuss over such little bleeding.

The next thing Junaid did shocked everyone, including me. He started sucking the blood out of her finger. Even Manpreet seemed shocked, she turned totally red. What was going on between these two?

Present

I slammed the book shut. Now I could come to the conclusion that Juniad loved Manpreet. Just then, Karan entered. 

"Karan... I just got a few vision of the past, and I found out something very weird, something none of us would have expected." I said as Karan sat down beside me.

"Really? What?" He asked, little amused.

"I just found out Junaid loved Manpreet... I got the visions and also this book states almost the same." I said, pointing at the book in my hand. "I  think he killed everyone because he was heartbroken that he couldn't get Manpreet to be his."

"WHAT!!!!" Karan shouted.

"Yeah. I think we should reunite these two. After all, this is about reuniting lovers that were separated in the past life. Maybe, he will save everyone if we let him take Manpreet?"

"Let's tell everything to everyone first," Karan said hesitantly and walked away.

Isha's POV-

Karan had called everyone to the main hall to discuss something important. Probably about the Mission Raabta. Although I didn't believe it before, I am starting to get nightmares related to what Karan and Abhi had said, so I'm starting to wonder if what they said was true, although it seems very unlikely.

I walked with Shafeena and took a seat next to her.

"Guys, I know you all probably thought we were joking when we told you about the Mission Raabta, but it's about time you start believing us, because things are a lot more serious than they were now," Abhi said but was interrupted by  my phone.

"Sorry," I muttered as I took out my phone from my bag. My eyes widened as I saw the name. "Anusha."

I immediately accepted the call.

"Isha... My parents are getting me married... And that too with J-Junaid," A weeping Anushka told me.

I tried consoling her and then hanged up.

"Roop is getting married to Junaid.." Everyone was surprised by what I said, even I was. Why would I say Roop and Junaid?

"Shit! I knew this was going to happen. Now you all better listen to me and then we can go to Anusha!" Karan said angrily.

"So I have been reading the book Pia gave me and I also got some visions, and they all point at one thing- Junaid loved Manpreet, as in Ranjeet loved you, Isha. Now, the only way we can save Anusha is  by reuniting you two," Karan said.

I gave him a what-nonsense-are-you-talking-about look. I'm not going to love a murderer!!

"There's no time for those looks Isha!! Can't you do that for your friend?"

After much pursuing, I had agreed to meet him.

We made our way to Anusha's house. The others waited outside as I walked in.

"Junaid." I said as Ranjeet turned around to face me. "M-Manpreet?" he stuttered.

"You loved me, didn't you?" I whispered getting closer to him.

I expected him to get softer and sweeter, maybe even weak, but he took out a gun and pointed it towards me, making both me and Anusha scream.

"If you don't marry me, she'll be finished," he said to Anushka with gritted teeth.

"I- okay, guess what? I challenge you to marry me and make me yours. But just remember, marrying you won't change my feelings for Murat. It will only make our love stronger. Do whatever you want, but nothing will change my love for Murat, nor his love for me," Anusha said, angrily.

At that moment, the whole team burst out through the door. They seemed to hear everything.

"Anusha, don't!" Murat yelled.

She ignored him.

"Remember, it's a challenge."
