Sidharth was sitting in the dark room and watching his men torturing the two persons who betrayed him and tried to do the child trafficking.

"Itne saalon mein Dad ne aur maine bohut saare illegal kaam kiye hai. Golds and diamonds ki smuggling toh humare liye bohut chhoti baat hai. Ek zamane mein drugs ki bhi smuggling hoti thi. Lekin kabhi bhi humne human trafficking jaise ghatiya kaamon ko badhawa nahi diya. Aur aaj tum logo ne yeh karne ki koshish kiyi..... Ek baar bhi nahi socha ki iska natija kya ho sakta hai."

Saying that, Sidharth pointed his gun at the men while looking at them dangerously.

"Nahi boss nahi... Humein chhor di jiye... Hum aisa phir kabhi nahi karenge..."

They started crying and begging.

"Chhor du?" Asked Sidharth and took down his gun. "Chalo chhor diya. Waise bhi masoom bacchon ki zindagi barbaad karne ki koshish kiyi tum dono ne. Uski saza itni chhoti nahi ho sakti."

Sidharth looked at his men and ordered, "Inko tab tak torture karna jab tak yeh khud maut ki bheekh na maange."

Saying that, Sidharth started leaving from there and his men continued torturing them. Their loud screams gave peace to his ears.

On the other hand, Shehnaaz was waiting for Sidharth standing outside his room. She couldn't forget the incident which happened today. He put his own life at risk to save those children. There was no way that he could be linked with human trafficking. All that Nawaz Bhai said, was nothing but lie.

Suddenly Sidharth came back and met Shehnaaz at the door while going to his room. He looked at her for a moment and then entered his room ignoring her.

Meanwhile Shehnaaz noticed blood in shirt and remembered how he got injured to save her from bullet. She felt bad and entered the room behind him.

"Shirt utaro." She said suddenly and he looked at her frowning.

"Kya?" He asked being puzzled.

"Dekho Sidharth bohut hogaya. Shirt utaro abhi ke abhi."

"Tu itni vulger baatein kyu kar rahi hai? Ek baar tere saamne shirtless baitha tha iska yeh matlab nahi hai ki jab bhi tu bolegi, main uss hi waqt tere liye apni Shirt utar dunga. Waisa ladka nahi hoon main."

Shehnaaz went towards him and said, "Tumhari yeh double meaning baatein mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa rahi. Main jo bol rahi hoon woh karo bas. Utaro apni Shirt."

Saying that, she started unbuttoning his shirt while he was trying to stop her.

"Mat kar. Abhi mera yeh sab karne ka mood nahi hai. Shehnaaz...."

Before he could finish, Shehnaaz opened his shirt and pulled it down only to find deep wounds on his shoulder. She was about to touch it but stopped herself not to cause him more pain and looked at him with teary eyes.

"Aise gehri chot pe sabse pehle dressing karwani chahiye jis se infection na faile. Lekin tumhara toh humesha alag hi chalta hai. Waha se laut te hi seedha kahi aur chale gaye. Abhi bed pe baitho, main first aid box leke aati hoon."

Sidharth rolled his eyes and said, "Dekh mujhe teri humdardi nahi chahiye. Aise ghaav pehle bhi hue hai. Apne aap thik bhi ho jaate hai. Isliye tu zyada soch mat. Akela chhor de mujhe."

"Jaise mujhe aisi chot lagti toh tum mujhe akela chhor dete... Right?"

As soon as Shehnaaz asked this, Sidharth became quiet.

"Abhi chup chaap baitho aur mujhe apna kaam karne do." She saud further.

"Teri problem kya hai yaar? Kaha na mujhe nahi karwani dressing...."

"Tumhe meri kasam." Said Shehnaaz suddenly. "Baitho ab."

Sidharth sighed and sat on the bed. Shehnaaz then left from there and came back with the first-aid box after sometime.

She sat beside him and looked at the wound on his shoulder. She started feeling uneasy seeing blood flowing from there and took a deep breath.

Sidharth understood her problem and said, "Rehne de tujhe yeh karne ki zaroorat nahi hai. I know tu blood nahi dekh sakti."

"Tumhari kripa se iss se bhi zyada blood behta hua dekh chuki hoon. Yeh toh kuch bhi nahi hai. Toh apne muh pe sellotape chipkao and let me concentrate."

Saying that, she poured some dettol in the cotton and rubbed it on his wounds. As soon as it touched his wound, he hissed in pain but controlled himself fisting his palm.

"Cleaning zaroori hai. Thoda dard hoga par seh lo." She said cleaning his wounds.

Sidharth smiled sadly and said, "Teri kripa se iss se zyada dard sahe hai. Yeh toh kuch bhi nahi hai."

Shehnaaz didn't reply and kept doing her work. Sidharth looked at her with disbelief. He didn't expect her to be worried for him and taking care of him like this. He somewhere wanted to believe that she also loved him but a part of his brain was stopping him.

After Shehnaaz finished doing the bandage, Sidharth moved his hand away immediately.

Shehnaaz was about to leave, when Sidharth asked, "Yeh sab kyu kar rahi hai tu? Jab mujhse itni nafrat karti hai, jab mere saath yaaha jabardasti reh rahi hai, jab har waqt bhagne ki koshish karti rehti hai, toh meri itni fikar kyu? Mere chot se tujhe kya farak padta hai?"

Shehnaaz became silent for sometime and then said sternly, "Woh main tumhe baatana zaroori nahi samajhti."

Saying that, she started leaving but Sidharth grabbed her wrist and pulled her with so much force that she landed on his lap. He then fisted her hair and made her look at me.

"When I have asked you something, give the answer and then leave. I hate when people ignore me." Said Sidharth whispering angrily while looking deep into her eyes.

"And I hate you. Happy? Now leave me." Said Shehnaaz meeting his eyes.

He brought her face closer and asked, "Then why are your actions telling a different story? Huh?"

Shehnaaz couldn't reply and kept struggling to come out of his grip. Meanwhile Sidharth was not ready to let her go without getting his answer. They both were looking at each other with same passion and intensity while their lips were just few inches apart.

Before they could make any move, they heard a knock at the open door and Shehnaaz immediately got up from his lap.

"Sidharth tujhe Kushal bula raha tha. Woh rescue kiye gaye bacchon ke baare mein kuch baat karni thi isliye." Said Nawaz Bhai without looking at them.

Sidharth stood up and wore his shirt. Then he went to Nawaz Bhai and said, "Chaliye."

Nawaz Bhai nodded and they started leaving. Before going, Nawaz Bhai glared Shehnaaz and then left from there.

Meanwhile, Shehnaaz started thinking about everything.

Later That Day...

"Bohut pyaar aa raha tha tujhe aaj uss pe. Kahi tu apne plan se bhatak toh nahi rahi?" Asked Nawaz Bhai taunting Shehnaaz.

"Aap mujhse sawal kar rahe hai Nawaz Bhai? Sawal toh mujhe aap se karna chahiye. Aap ne kaha tha ki Sidharth human trafficking karta hai aur aaj usne meri aakhon ke saamne child trafficking rok ke kitne bacchon ko bachaya. Aap meri iss jung mein madat karne wale the par ab main aap pe bharosa kaise karu? You gave me wrong information. Ab toh main aap ke kisi baat pe bharosa nahi kar sakti." Said Shehnaaz while Nawaz Bhai couldn't understand what to say.

"Saala meri kismat hi kharab hai. Uss Sidharth ko kya zaroorat thi isko saath leke bacchon ko bachane jaane ki? Ab iss se pehle baat haath se nikal jaaye, sambhal lena hoga." Thought Nawaz Bhai.

"Dekh maine koi galat information nahi diyi tujhe. Sidharth sach mein human trafficking ke saath juda tha. Woh kuch saal pehle ek case mein phas gaya tha isliye uske baad se usne yeh dhanda band kar diya. Aur yeh hi wajah hai ki usne aaj child trafficking hone se roka. Woh sirf apne baare mein sochta hai." Said Nawaz Bhai but it couldn't convince Shehnaaz fully.

"Aur kya fark padta hai iss baat se ki woh human trafficking karta hai ki nahi? Mayank ko toh uss hi ne maara hai na, tere saamne? Tujhe uss baat ka badla lena hai uss se. Lena hai na?"

Shehnaaz was going to say something but stopped herself thinking it to be a bad idea. She just nodded in yes.

"Toh dhyan se sun meri baat. Kaal jab Sidharth aur hum sab bahar honge tu uske study room mein jaayegi. Waha par jo neela file hai, woh tu mujhe laa ke degi. Wahi se hogi uski barbaadi ki suruwaad." Said Nawaz Bhai. "Duplicate chabi toh hai na tere paas?"

Shehnaaz nodded in yes and said, "Aap ne jaisa kaha tha, main kal chabi leke aayi thi uske room se. Aur aap sahi the, kisi ko mujhpe shaq bhi nahi hua. Lekin ek baat baataiye. Uss file mein hai kya? Is it confidential?"

"Haan. Par woh tu nahi samjhegi. Bas tu woh file laa ke mujhe de dena. Baki main sambhal lunga." Said Nawaz Bhai and left from there.

Shehnaaz sighed a thought, "Nahi Nawaz Bhai, aap mujhe jo dikha rahe hai, woh pura sach nahi hai. Aap sirf woh hi dikha rahe hai jo aap dikhana chahte hai. Sidharth ke baare mein bohut kuch hai jo mujhe nahi paata aur uska paata main lagaungi. Adhe sach pe bharosa kar ke main itna bada kadam nahi utha sakti. Isliye ab se main aap ke plan ke mutabik zaroor chalungi, par mere intentions alag honge."

Next Day...

As soon as Sidharth left, Shehnaaz took the duplicate keys and went towards the study room. She wanted to take the file just to see what was so special in it and why Nawaz Bhai said that it would destroy Sidharth.

Shehnaaz was going towards the study room when she stopped by a voice.

"Malkin! Aap udhar kaha jaa rahi hai?"

Shehnaaz turned behind and saw Viren.

"Woh... Main... Apne dance room ki taraf jaa rahi thi." Said Shehnaaz pointing towards the way to her dance room. "Kyu mujhse kuch kaam tha?"

"Nahi nahi Malkin. Aap se kya kaam ho sakta hai?" Said Viren giving a foolish smile.

"Toh tum jaao... Apna kaam karne."

"Arrey haan main toh bhul hi gaya tha. Main jaa raha hoon. Koi kaam ho toh baatana."

Saying that, Viren left from there.

Shehnaaz gave a sigh of relief and opened the door of the study room. Entering there, she saw a lots of files and papers.

"Ab inn mein se woh blue file kaise dhundu, woh bhi kisi ke aane se pehle?" She thought being worried.

"No Shehnaaz, you can do it."

Shehnaaz started finding the file and after searching a lot, she finally found the blue file. She took it and looked at the file carefully.

"Nawaz Bhai ne jo pic dikhayi thi, woh iss hi file ki thi. It means I got it." Thought Shehnaaz and left the study room with the file.

Without getting noticed by anyone, she entered her room with the file and thought to read it.

But before she could open the file, her phone started ringing. She picked it up and said, "Hello!"

But what the person at the other line told her, she was left numb in shock.

At the hospital...

Shehnaaz came running to the hospital and saw Sidharth, Kushal and Nawaz Bhai there.

Shehnaaz went to Sidharth and asked almost crying, "Kya hua hai Maa ko Sidharth? Woh thik toh hai na?"

Sidharth hold her shoulders and said, "Shehnaaz relax! Woh raaste mein unki tabiyat kharab ho gayi thi. Hum waha se jaa rahe the aur woh dikh gayi toh hum unhe hospital leke aaye. Fikar mat kar, kuch nahi hua hoga unhe."

Shehnaaz calmed down a little hearing his words when the doctor came.

"Prema Narayan ke gharwale kaun hai?" He asked.

Sidharth and Shehnaaz went to the doctor.

"Aap log kaun hai?"

Before Sidharth could say, Shehnaaz said, "Main unki Beti aur yeh mere hone wale husband."

Sidharth looked at Shehnaaz hearing that. His expression changed.

"Thik hai aap dono andar aaiye." Said the doctor.

"Chalo Sidharth." Said Shehnaaz and they all entered the cabin.

Shehnaaz saw her mother sitting on the hospital bed and hugged her immediately.

"Maa, yeh sab kaise hua? Khayal nahi rakhti ho kya aap apna?" Asked Shehnaaz being worried.

Prema Ji smiled and said caressing her head, "Main bilkool thik hoon Beta. Kuch nahi hua mujhe."

"Woh ab doctor baatayenge, aap nahi." Said Shehnaaz and looked at the doctor.

The doctor sighed and said, "Inke symptoms ko dekh ke humne inke tastes kiye jis se paata chala hai ki....."

What the doctor said next, left everyone shocked.
