Her heart was pounding loudly in her chest as she sat there on the hospital bed, staring at Nilay who was engaged in a conversation with Shlok.

Sunaina's mind was repeatedly playing back Nilay's words, making her heart race even faster.

Suddenly, Nilay turned around and looked straight at her. Sunaina was caught off guard and didn't know how to react. She was torn between her desire to stay close to Nilay and her fear of having to deal with the police.

It wasn't that Sunaina was afraid of the police, but she simply couldn't stand their presence around herself. She didn't like them and didn't want to get involved with them unnecessarily. She sat there, frozen, trying to figure out her next move.

"Are you leaving me all alone here?"

In the heat of nervousness, Sunaina blurred out these words.

Nilay, taken aback, was unsure of how to react to her gloomy face and fearful eyes. Something was making him unable to witness the pain in her big black eyes.

Sunaina quickly regained her composure and put on an awkward smile as she pleaded, "Don't leave me here, Please."

Shlok, who was observing the situation, looked at Nilay and then at Sunaina and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart seeing Sunaina's vulnerable state.

To Shlok, Sunaina looked like a wounded and abandoned puppy and his heart melted at her eyes.

As Shlok tried to speak, Nilay's attention turned towards Sunaina, who was visibly anxious. He called out to her, "Hey, kid!".

But before he could say anything else, Sunaina interrupted him, "My name is Divita, not a kid!"

Nilay's curiosity was piqued. He licked his lips and said, "Hmmm, Actually, There are so many things that I want to know about you. Firstly, Where is your home and What happened to you? And many more but except your name and apart from this information of you being shot bullets into the lower abdomen. I don't know anything about you. My work is done here. I hope you'll take care of yourself and cooperate with the police".

Sunaina's heart dropped as she stared at Nilay who was staring back at her.

"Kya Main apko Nilay bula sakti hun? (Can I call you Nilay?)", She asked Nilay.

Her voice was sweet as jaggery that his name rolled on her tongue but it melted into his ears. A tingling sensation crawled all over his body.

Nilay nodded his head while taking deep breaths ,"Yeah".

Sunaina smiled sweetly as her heart accelerated and she could not stop herself from drowning in his deep brown eyes.

As Sunaina sat down to think, her mind was filled with countless thoughts racing in every direction, causing her to feel overwhelmed.

She found herself caught in the middle of a life filled with two opposing sides 'Expectations vs. reality' of her life.

Faced with a difficult decision, she contemplated whether or not to reveal the truth to her ANGEL, a person she had grown to trust and rely upon.

"I am still waiting for your answers", Nilay said while checking the time.

After much deliberation, Sunaina decided against revealing her true identity and situation to her ANGEL.

"I was abducted by bad people from returning from my tuition classes"

Instead of telling him the truth, She chose to weave a web of lies to ensnare him.

Firstly, She concocted a story that her name was Divita, and now, bad people have abducted and hurt her.

"I ran away from their base. They shot me. My driving is not clear but I know how to run them", Sunaina lied smoothly.

Nilay's eyes softened. Looking at his concerned eyes, Sunaina felt a sense of guilt for deceiving her ANGEL, but she hoped that her fabricated story would help her gain his trust.

"Nilay, She faced a lot", Shlok whispered in Nilay's ears but Sunaina could hear him easily.

"I am sorry that you went through all this. You deserve justice. I will contact the best lawyer who will fight your case but tell me one thing, What do you want me to do now? Don't you know that it's a police case?", Nilay spoke and Shlok nodded his head at Nilay's words.

'Damn, why is he ranting about police, crime and justice all the time?'

While thinking this, Sunaina's head throbbed but she maintained a weak expression on her face.

"Where is your family? What about your parents? Give me your parents' number. I'll contact them. They must be worried about you", Nilay spoke as he pulled his phone out of his jacket pocket but the next line from her froze him.

"I am an orphan", Sunaina suddenly blurted out.

....

On the other hand, Inside a private hospital room, Avyaan sneezed twice as his chest pained uncontrollably.

"Raja (King)", Jaikesh's eye turned glossy at Avyaan's conditions.

"I am fine", He breathed deeply while sitting down to read through the reports detailing everything that had transpired during his absence.

He was particularly curious about Sunaina's heroic efforts in battling the PYTHONS, and eagerly absorbed every detail of her courageous undertaking.

Jaikesh's eyes were fixed on Avyaan, who was tirelessly handling a difficult situation. Despite his deteriorating health, Avyaan seemed to be giving his all. Jaikesh couldn't help but feel a deep sense of sorrow for both Khadka siblings.

"Buba! Any news about Naina's bodyguards?", Avyaan asked Jaikesh.

As Avyaan anxiously waited for Jaikesh's response about his sister, the door of the private room knocked.

"Enter", Avyaan commanded and two people entered the room.

Seeing them, Avyaan's eyes slightly widened nervously for a second because they were Sunaina's bodyguard's 'Dino' & 'Nora'

Avyaan quickly barked at them "Where were you and Where is my sister?".

He demanded to know the whereabouts of his sister. However, both bodyguards looked guilty at him and replied, "King, Princess instructed us not to follow her".

Avyyan was stunned, "What?".

Jaikesh stared at them.

Avyaan's highly trained team 'The Hulks' had already briefed him on the impending war.

Nora's voice trembled as she relayed the message to Avyaan, "King, Princess is safe and her right-hand man T-Rex is following her like a shadow."

Avyaan's expression remained stoic, but his eyes betrayed a cold and intense determination. He turned to Dino and Nora and asked in a deep and commanding voice, "Where is she now?"

The atmosphere in the room turned tense and heavy as if the very air was charged with electricity.

The silence was broken only by the sound of their breathing and the faint whirring of the Avyaan in the background, as they waited for a response from Dino and Nora.

"The princess is on the other side of the Shimla", Nora replied to him.

Avyaan glared at the members of Hulk and Sunaina's bodyguards. While staring with his scarlet eyes, his eyes landed on Dino who was stealing glances at him.

"Do you have something to say?", Avyaan asked Dino who nodded his head quickly.

"King, Actually Princess got involved in a car accident and she got wounded at the PYTHONS", Dino said as his eyes lingered over Avyaan and Jaikesh.

"What?", Both reacted together.

"I will shoot you all. If anything happens to her", Avyaan's nose flared as he breathed heavily.

He used a high tone that put pressure on his chest. He closed his eyes to calm down himself from getting hyper at the moment.

Nora and Dino trembled slightly as they immediately said, "King, It was all planned by the Princess".

Avyaan froze at his spot, "What do you mean by this?".

"King, She met a man and she deliberately made us not get involved in the matter. When she got into an accident. We were following her. We found her with a man. When we approached her. She made a sign and told us to leave her alone. We only followed her command", Nora explained to him.

"Who was that man?", Avyaan asked them as it was a piece of new information for him.

"We don't know about him but the Princess chose to go with him", Dino answered him truthfully.

Avyaan clenched his fist tightly as he thought, "It was all PRE-PLANNED by her. This girl is getting out of hand".

"King, What should we do now?", Jaikesh asked Avyaan who put his hand over his chest where he had taken two bullets and it was aching badly at that moment.

"Kian, Find out everything about that man", Avyaan spoke to his right-hand man who nodded his head and left the private room.

"Let's go to the BASE now", Avyyan said and Jaikesh sighed weakly as he knew that he could not stop King, The scorpion Satan from going out of the hospital in search of his sister.

It was nothing new for them. Both siblings had crackhead personalities and they could go to any extent to protect each other.

"Yes, Raja (King)", Jaikesh responded and they left the hospital.

....

On the other hand, At the PYTHONS,

After losing his one eye, The leader of the PYTHONS was blazing in vexation.

"What's the lead?", The leader asked his gang members.

"She is still missing and The King of Scorpion Satan is released from the hospital", a Gang member exclaimed.

"Oh, let's plan a welcome party for him", The wounded Leader said in a sinister tone as he laughed maniacally.
