Just then Anubhav entered the house and saw a very worried Noor Jahan Begum looking at the closed door. He coughed slightly to gain her attention, "Anubhav!!!" she mumbled in shock which soon turned into anger, "why you returned??? Are you responsible for this condition of her???" she questioned him enraged.

Taking a step back, he tried calming her down by his response, "Aunty, please calm down, I know your anger is justified, I left your daughter at the day of our engagement but it was not because I was afraid of taking responsibilities or I did not loved her, instead my duty had called me and I do not want her to ruin her life by waiting for me....." as he saw her calming down a little at his response, he moved ahead, held her slightly through her shoulder, made her sit on the sofa and continued, "however, this is not the time for all this..... I am not responsible for what happened but I promise you that I won't let her fall apart..... please, trust me and let me meet her..... She needs me the most right now....please...." he requested her softly laying out his genuine love and concern.

"My...my daughter....i...I cannot see her like this....you....you will....handle her right??" a mother's heart was in desperate need of consolation that her daughter will be fine. Anubhav hugged her, "I promise.... I won't let our dear Haseena fall apart..... Before leaving, I will re-strengthen her enough to gain back what she had lost."

Before going to Haseena, he made her mother eat lunch, gave her medicines and lie her down in her room to have rest, with a promise that when she will wake up, her daughter will be in much better condition.

With racing heart, Anubhav twisted the door knob of her room and pushed it open. He stepped in complete darkness of her room, where she was sitting on the floor by placing her head on the bed and her and Karishma's photo frame in close to her chest. His heart ached seeing her love's pale deadpan face, dried tear marks on it and devastated condition. Sitting beside her on the floor, he placed his hand on her shoulder, "Haseena ji!!"

Hearing his soft voice and feeling his soothing touch, she closed her eyes unable to face him and a fresh set of tears streamed down from her eyes. He rubbed her shoulders, attempting to comfort her a little.

Next instant she turned around, clung to his shirt, and started crying hysterically while tears made their way through his eyes too. Holding on to her protectively he was patting her head letting her pour out her pain to him. She tried hating him when he left but could not, she doubted all her family including him and was guilty about it too but when it comes to sharing herself she find his arms more suitable than her own mother's.......He had left her on the night of engagement just to save her life, when her life was in danger, he had come back leaving all his missions in the middle and he was there supporting her in her weakest moment, when she was guilty.......may be their love had not turned into happy married life but it was indeed complete in its true sense.

Sliding her head down from his chest to her lap, facing their front wall, she had tightly clenched his both hands in hers and added still sobbing in between, "I .....i....i am sorry Anubhav.....i....i am too bad.....i....i have doubted on you..... You must be too angry on me like everyone else.....and you should be......I had committed a terrible mistake.....no, no a crime......how can I doubted on you or Karishma or others to kill me or anyone.......i....don't deserve anyone.....you all should never forgive me......i...will go away from everyone.....from you, from Karishma......from Pushpa ji..... Santu.....Cheetah........i.....had lost all of them because of my foolishness......" clenching on to his hands more tightly, afraid of losing him she was saying to him that he should leave her and that she don't deserve him.

Anubhav know his lady love to well; one who had never hurted any one in her whole life had today broke all her family terribly and that too by breaking her own principles. He could clearly understand the amount of guilt and anger inside her for herself. Sitting there silently, scooping her in his lap, he was giving her a much needed shoulder to cry upon before pushing her on the path of redemption. "I had been seeing there pain and longingness for me all this while but still I had not stopped.....i....i got blinded in my love for the country that I went against my own principles, the very principles who never betrayed me.....my dad's legacy!!! I knew that the right decision can only be taken from heart, I was the person who always chose to go with her intuition, I had never allowed anyone to dictate me.....then.....then how I allowed someone else to manipulate me......it's all my fault.....there....there is no explanation of my deed......there could be thousand ways to catch the culprit without hurting my loved ones emotions......then too I had chosen the most wrong path....." burning in flames of guilt she was crying more hysterically and hitting her own head on her hands.....

Suddenly sitting up straight, she looked at Anubhav, tightened her hold on his hands and asked with a faint hope, "W....will you all....will you all never forgive me? Have I lo.....lost you, Karishma.....all my precious relations.....for....forever???
Anubhav took his hands out of her hold, wiped away her tears by his both thumbs and asked cupping her face, "You tell me, when I had hurted your sentiments at the time of mission Jeet and recently by leaving you on our engagement night......have you stopped loving me?" At his question, Haseena raised her eyes and looked straight in his eyes and realized no matter what she is still immensely in love with him.....she nodded negatively, "never....for even a second!!"

"Then how can I stop loving you....and until there is love between two people they cannot lose each other....be it me, Karishma or any other MPT member.....you love them and they love you....we cannot be separated from each other......love is very powerful, it had the ability to heal deepest of wounds.....you just have to believe in it!!!" he added patting her hands in his holds, looking straight in her eyes with full confidence.

Looking in his voice, she had seen unshakeable trust; a trust, she had leave no stone unturned to break, still intact....once again it drowned her in deep trenches of guilt. Her hands in his hold, she bowed her head and started sobbing. After a moment of silence, she asked, "I have hurted you too.....i ....i should have trust you enough to confront you that night when I saw you searching the device in MPT.....but.....but I assumed you to be culprit.....I had doubted your love for two most precious things of your life; your country and myself.....and then I....i crossed every line in my insanity where i.....i risked the safety of both of them.....Aren't you angry on me?"

When she did not find any answer from him, she tightened her grip on his hands and raised her eyes to look in his.....and there she find her answer, tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes; though he could understand where she is coming from but he can't deny the fact that he did feel angry and upset.

Removing her hands from his, she raised them slowly to her ears, bowed her head and added softly, "I....I am sorry Anubhav, I am sorry for everything....I....i promise will never repeat this mistake..... pl.... please.... do... don't separate me from yourself....please....."as she finished her simple genuine apology, her tears reached to her chin.....and before they could roll down in her lap, she found his hands wiping them away before taking her in a bone crushing hug.

"It's okay Haseena ji....i can understand exactly how you reached at this state....because....i...I have been through this.....that....that Bakhshi....he....he had manipulated me too....for hurting you and my family multiple times on the name of country......I am no more angry on you...." he added caressing her head lovingly, closing his eyes from which tears were streaming down. In his arms, being forgiven so easily by him, Haseena's heart was feeling both fluttered and guilty at the same time for doing this to him.....

Wiping his own tears, he brought her out of his embrace, wiped her tears and said holding her hands once again, looking straight in his eyes, "Haseena ji, I have to leave for completing the mission immediately but before that i want you to promise me two things first, that you will face them and seek their forgiveness and second that you won't leave Karishma, MPT and Lukhnow at any cost until my return."

"Anubhav!!! Please don't tie me in such kind of promise.....you know Karishma will never forgive me and....i....i can't bear her anger!!!"
"No!! you have to promise me....because I know that Karishma is a lot more broken than you are and....and I am afraid that she may do anything to wrong in her broken and angry state.....Also, I have full faith in you that you will get her back by your patience and love......you need to take care of my sister, whether she allows you or not, until my return....Promise me Haseena ji!!" A protective brother, supportive life partner and a patriot agent; Anubhav Singh tries his best to fulfil all his roles.

She cannot break his trust again....even if it cost her life or perhaps more than that..... "I PROMISE I WON'T RUN AWAY, I WILL FACE THEM, I WILL SEEK THEIR FORGIVENESS AND I WILL TAKE CARE OF KARISHMA.....i WON'T LET YOU DOWN THIS TIME!!" She gave him her words, words about which she don't know how she will abide by.

"Please.....come back soon.....i...I won't be able to survive without you for a long time...." Looking towards him, she pleaded feebly. He nodded with teary eyes and hugged him for the last time before another separation.
