Seven months later...

Satvik came out of the bathroom, he saw Saanvi drying her hair with a towel. He smiled and went to her, "good morning Kunwarani sa" He said placing a kiss on her temple.

"Good morning" She said with a small smile, "kya hua, tum udaas lag rhi ho" He said and went to the wardrobe to pick a kurta to wear. "Sameeksha ka birthday hai aaj" She said.

"Usse wish bhi nhi kar sakti, usne number change kar lia tha apna. Itne mahino se uski awaaz takk nhi suni hai" She said. He sighed and cupped her face.

"Woh bilkul theek hogi. Boht strong ladki hai woh, khud ko acche se sambhaal lia hoga usne. Uska birthday hai to khush hona chahiye tumhe, haina?" He asked, she nodded and hugged him.

He hugged her back. He was confident about what he said to her, but he knew that he was never going to forgive the one who lead Sameeksha take the step to leave everyone.

*******

Sameeksha was about the leave the classroom when someone came, "Ma'am" a kid said. She looked at the entrance and smiled after seeing Naman and Manjot.

"Chacha bhatija dono aae hai? Time mil gaya tumhe aane ka?" She asked Manjot, "arey sorry yaar, kaam me busy tha" He smiled. "Tumhe kisne kaam de dia?" She chuckled.

"Namam tum jaao" He said, the kid ran away. "Happy birthday" He said hugging Sameeksha. She hugged him back, "thank you".

"Mere bhatije ke saamne to meri bezzati mat kia karo" He said sitting on a desk, "desk parhne ke lie hote hai" She said, "arey chalta hai" He ignored her.

Sameeksha met Manjot after she escaped from the royal palace. She started teaching in a school in Delhi. Here she got to know Manjot, whose nephew's Sameeksha's favourite student. Manjot and Sameeksha became close friends soon after they met.

"Chalo bathure khane chalte hai" Manjot said, Sameeksha nodded and they left for the closest chole bhature stall.

"Pay kar dena" Sameeksha said taking another bhatura, Manjot made a poker face, "gareeb log" He said. "Haan me gareeb hi hu, tum pay karo" She said.

Manjot rolled his eyes and carried on eating. He looked at the Sameeksha and found a man standing a few meters behind her. "Sameeksha, woh dekho. Vahi aadmi mene pehle bhi dekha tha" He said.

"Kaha?" She asked. The man left before Sameeksha could see him. "Arey hoga mera koi aashiq, tum bhature khao" She carried on eating.

He shook his head. It wasn't a coincidence, the man was definitely stalking Sameeksha.

*******

Abhishek was roaming in the royal garden, his phone rang. Without looking at the caller's ID, he immediately picked up. "Haan bolo" He said.

"Khamma ghani Kunwar sa, aap fikar na kare. Woh bilkul theek hai" A man said. "Aur woh ladka? Abhi bhi uske pass hai kya?" Abhishek asked. "Ji Kunwar sa, dono abhi bhi saath hai" The man said.

Abhishek kicked the ground, "aakhir hai kon woh ladka" He said frustrated. "Accha tum Sameeksha ke aas paas hi rehna aur mujhe khabar karte rehna" He said before hanging up.

He saw Saanvi and a few servants watering plants. "Bhabhi sa!" He shouted and ran to her. She looked at him and then looked away.

"Bhabhi sa aapki kucch help chahiye thi" He said. "Woh gulaab ko zaada paani daliye, dekhiye kese murjhaaya hua hai" She said to a servant.

"Bhabhi sa aaj Sameeksha ka birthday hai. Aaj to mujhse baat kar lijiye" He pleaded. She looked at him with teary eyes. "Aapki wajah se woh aaj mere saath nhi hai, aap chahte hai me aap se baat karu?" She asked.

"Bhabhi sa me itni baar aap se maafi maang chuka hu. Please maaf kar dijiye" He folded his hands, "Sameeksha ko wapas le aaiye, kar dungi maaf" She said. He lowered his head.

"Nhi laa sakte na?" She gritted her teeth. "Aap thodi si help kar de to zarur laa paunga" He said. "Kesi help?" She asked finally interested.

He looked at her and a smile appeared on his face, "Bhabhi sa, yeh dekhiye. Yeh ladka...aap...janti hai isko?" He asked excited.

She looked at the screen of his phone. She definitely saw him somewhere, "kahi dekha hai isko lekin yaad nhi aa raha" She said. "Kon hai yeh?" She asked. "Yeh ladka Sameeksha ke saath hai iss waqt" He said.

"Aapko kese pata?" She asked. "Bhabhi sa mene Sameeksha ko track kar lia tha. Jab woh hame chod ke geyi thi uske do din baad hi mene usko dhoondh lia tha" He said. "To aapne usko wapas kyu nhi bulaya??" She asked holding his arm.

"Bhabhi sa woh kabhi wapas aane ke lie haan nhi karti, itna to me bhi jaanta hu usse. Aur yeh ladka tab se uske saath hai. Pata nhi kon hai" He said running his hand through his hair.

"Lekin hame isse kya lena dena?" She asked confused. "Mere aadmio ne pata kia hai. Yeh ladka sahi nhi hai, kucch to galat kaam kar raha hai yeh. Yeh Sameekaha ka akela sahara hai waha Delhi me. Agar yehi usse door ho jaae to shayad woh wapas bhi aa jaae?" He said hoping Saanvi would agree to help him.

"Aur agar aapke aadmi galat hue to?" She asked, "unhone proof diye hai" He said. She nodded slightly, "theek hai. Mujhe yaad aaega yeh kon hai to me zarur bataungi" She said. "Meri Sameeksha se baat hi karvaa dijiye Banna" She said.

"Bhabhi sa agar aapne usse baat ki to use pata chal jaega mere aadmi uska peecha kar rahe hai" He said. She looked down. "Ham jaldi usse wapas bulaa lenge Bhabhi sa" He said, she nodded.
