Ruhana was sitting beside Manvi with tears flown her eyes rapidly. Vineet opens the door and enters inside. He comes to Ruhana and places his hand on her shoulder. Ruhana looks at him and gets up "yeh sab"

She places her head on his chest and cries, Vineet caressed her head and said "shh shant ho jao tumhe himmat rakhni hogi Manvi ko zaroorat hai tumhari"

Ruhana part away, she looked at him and recalled it was Viraj Singhania his mental psychopath brother responsible for Manvi's condition. She shouted "tumhara bhai hevan hai saza doge na use?"

Vineet speaks up with heavy heart "Tumhe lagta hai main aisa nhi karunga? Bhai hai mera par mera faraz mere rishton se zyada bada hai aur uska gunah bhi use saza hogi kisiko bhi koi haq nhi kisi bhi larki ke saath ye sab karne ka uski marzi ke bina I promise you Viraj ko saza milegi"

Ruhana looked on with tears, she knew he is not lying. The nurse enters inside with "mam aap please bahar jayie check up karna hai"

Ruhana denies, she does not want to leave Manvi even for a single moment now "Nahi main kahi nhi jaa rahi hoon" she sits back on the stool.

Nurse smiled seeing her and checks up Manvi. She looked at Vineet, who moved out of the ICU. The nurse covered Manvi and changes her dressing. Ruhana was just shocked looking at her sister wounds, she closed her eyes in pain. The nurse does her work and leaves.

Here outside, he sees Anvi coming from corridor. She jumps on him and he lifts her into his arms. She asked "maasi mil gayi?"

"haan beta aapki maasi mil gayi par abhi wo so rahi hai" Vineet replied.

Anvi smiles and kisses his cheeks "thank you aap maasi ko leke aaye pal maasi ne anvi ko bahut pareshan kiya aur mumma ko bhi.. unse baat nhi karungi main" she complained unaware of the actual situation.

Vineet makes her understand "beta.. aise nhi kehte maasi itne din baad ghar aayengi to aapko unhe happy karna chahiye na"

Anvi thinks and agrees "haan.. to anvi unke liye gifts layegi aap help karoge anvi ki?"

Vineet replies "zaroor" he puts her down,

Shinde comes and says "Sir, aap hi sambhalyie aapni beti ko bahut thaka diya mujhe"

Vineet looks at Anvi who laughs, he then said to Shinde "tum jao.. police station make sure Viraj koi harkat na kare"

Shinde nodes and goes...

Anvi asked Vineet "mumma kaha hai?"

Vineet replies "wo andar room mein hai.."

Anvi moves into the room quietly and whispers "mumma"

Ruhana wipes her tears hearing Anvi's voice. She composed herself and smiles turning her "haan beta"

Anvi looked at Manvi, she moved close to her and tries to get things. Why so many things are attached to her body. She asked "mumma maasi ko chot lagi hai na?"

Ruhana nodes "haan beta.. acha aap yaha kya kar rahe ho?"

Anvi made face and said "ghar mein bahut bore ho rahi thi isliye maine police wale uncle se kaha mujhe aapke paas le aaye"

Vineet comes in and says "Anvi chalo aapko gift laana hai na maasi ke liye.."

Anvi nodes and goes with Vineet, while Ruhana looks at Manvi and places her hand on her forehead.

It was 8pm, Vineet returned along with Anvi. She moved in and said "mumma maasi kab uthegi? Anvi ko unse kitni baatein karni hai kitna kuch batana hai unko"

Ruhana answered her "beta doctor aunty ne unko injection diya hai to wo so rahi hai"

Vineet said "Ruhana tumhe Anvi ko ghar leke jaana chahiye"

Ruhana denies "main kahi nhi jaa rahi hoon"

Vineet assures her "dekho Ruhana ab Manvi hospital mein hai jahan usko koi khatra nhi hai main rukta hoon raat ko yahan please Anvi ke liye chali jao"

Ruhana does not wanted to leave Manvi and go but Vineet assured her he will be there so she left with Anvi.

Vineet lies on the couch there and sleeps.

RuMan's home

Ruhana quickly made some quick food for Anvi, Anvi eats and asked "mumma police wale uncle ne maasi ko dhund liya aapne unko thank you bola?"

Ruhana denies "nahi"

Anvi says "haww.. bad manners kal subah pehle unko thank you kehna"

"jee madam ab aap jaldi se khayie aur sone chalyie" Ruhana said.

Anvi smiled and after eating she goes to her room to sleep.

The next morning, Ruhana prepared breakfast for Anvi. Anvi said "mumma mujhe school nhi jaana maasi ke pass jaana hai"

Ruhana replied "Anvi beta maasi kuch din mein ghar aa jayengi na aur abhi to doctor ne unko sulake rakha hai na aap usne baat bhi nhi kar paoge"

Anvi nodded, Ruhana kept her tiffin in bag. "lo jaldi se nasta karke jao"

Anvi agreed, after Anvi left Ruhana moved to hospital.

City Hospital

Ruhana reached the hospital, the nurse said "mam ye kuch payments hai aap kar dijiye patient ki medicines bhi le aayie"

Ruhana took the bill and nodded. She moved to the counter to make payment. The cashier said "50 hazar dijiye"

Ruhana checks her purse, she did not have this huge amount for now. She said "main aati hoon kuch der mein" and moved from there.

She moved to Naina's cabin. Naina looked at her "aao Ruhana baitho"

Ruhana asked "Naina mannu khatre se to bahar hai na?"

Naina said seriously "Ruhana she is still critical jab tak usko hosh nhi aa jata main kuch nhi kah sakti hoon tumhe"

"kab tak aayega usko hosh?" Ruhana asked in concern.

"wo uski will pe depend karta hai Ruhana aksar aise cases mein patient umeed chod deta hai" Naina replied

Ruhana was in tears "nahi.. wo aise haar nhi sakti hai"

Naina replied "I am trying my best Ruhana baki sab uparwale ke haath mein hai"

Ruhana nodded and moved to ICU. She saw Vineet sleeping on the couch and woke him up with "Vineet utho.."

Vineet opened his eyes and got up "aa gayi tum!"

"haan ab tum jao main hoon thank you" She said.

Vineet nodded and left saying "zaroorat ho to phone karna"

Ruhana sat beside Manvi, she was in tears seeing her like this. She complained "ye kya hai mannu? Naina kehti hai tune umeed chod di hai shayad lekin aise kaise tu inti kamzor nhi hai na? Main janti hoon tere saath jo hua wo bahut hi galat tha lekin tu aise nhi jaa sakti hai mujhe chodke samjhi na" tears brimmed down her eyes.

Police Station

Vineet entered inside and he heard shouting of Viraj. He moved to his cell and entered inside.

Viraj said "bhai please mujhe le chalo na uske pass I love her"

Vineet slapped him hard in anger "sharam nhi aati tumhe ek larki ke saath ye sab karte hue! Aaj main apni nazron mein hi gir gaya hoon"

Viraj shouts madly "nhi.. main usko apne pass hi rakhunga aap bhi usko mujhse door nhi kar sakte ho"

Vineet shuts him up with his loud voice "Chup! Tumne jo kiya hai na uski saza milegi tumhe kal court le jaya jayega tumhe wahi hoga tumhara faisla"

And moved out, Viraj shouted "nhi bhai mujhe saza nhi ho sakti.. you can't do this" he laughed.

Vineet moved to his cabin and throws some things in anger. He sits down on chair with a thud.

His phone rings, it was Ruhana calling. He picked up the call "haan Ruhana bolo"

"Vineet wo tum Anvi ko apne saath le jaoge main nhi chahti wo abhi hospital aaye" Ruhana said.

"haan Ruhana thik hai main usko school se pick up kar lunga" Vineet said with a smile and ended the call.

Vineet picked up Anvi from school, Anvi said "mujhe na aapka police station dekhna hai"

Vineet looks at her shockingly "kya??"

"haan leke chalo na Anvi ko shaitani nhi karegi promise" she said with a smile.

Vineet nodded "thik hai chalo" and he took her to police station. Shinde came and said "Sir wo ek chori hui hai"

"hmm thik hai main jaake dekhta hoon tum Anvi ke saath hi rehna" he ordered. Shinde agreed and Vineet left with others.

Anvi was inside Vineet's cabin, she looked at his name plate "ASP Vineet Singhania" she spelled.

She picked up his cap and wore it and picked up his stick and mocked "ye file lao.. chalo.." she moved out and shouted "Shinde! Ye police station hai koi fish market nhi chalo kaam karo"

Shinde looked at her and saluted "yes sir!"

Everyone smiled.. Anvi climbed on table and said "chalo sab kaam karo.. warna dande se maaregi Anvi"

Vineet came back and saw Anvi, he stared at her. Anvi looks at him and bits her tongue out.
