The next morning, Shivaay woke and dressed himself. The words Anika said last night didn't leave his mind for a single moment. He glanced over at the bed to identify the creaking sound and saw Anika waking up

Shivaay: good morning

Anika: morning

shivaay clearly saw that Anika was still thinking about Arjun, so he wanted to comfort her about that

Shivaay: hume kuch karna hai Arjun ke bare mein. I mean he can't do this. Hume usko voh saza dene chaye joh humne Daksh ko diya tha

Anika: nahi Shivaay

shivaay: kyu nai? Give me a valid reason

Anika: aapki deal joh hai....

Shivaay: Anika tum deal ke baare mein kese soch sakti? Jab baat teri aati hai to mein kuch be karunga

Anika: acha tayaar hoker aaoongi mein

Deciding it was better to end the matter here, Anika went along to the washroom and Shivaay left for the kitchen. There he joined Om and Rudra in making the food whilst Bhavya helped Gauri set the table. Shivaay couldn't hold back and told the truth Anika informed him about.

Om: shivaay mujhe pata tha, ki kuch to gadbad hai. Lekin itni badi baat?

Rudra: yeh toh shukar hei ki Anika Bhaabi theek hai ab

Bhavya and Gauri entered the kitchen to collect dishes and they heard what the boys were saying

Gauri: mein ek baat poohcho? Yeh Daksh kaun hai?

Rudra: Bhaabi voh ek insaan nahi janwaar hai, joh Anika Bhaabi ke saath bohot bura kiya

Bhavya checks her phone for information on daksh

Bhavya: Bade Bhaaiya, aapka matlab Daksh Khuranna? Uske baare mein toh aap baat kare, kya?

Om: haa Bhavya humne usko doh baar jail bejvadia

Rudra: lagta two times bhi kaafi nahi the

Bhavya: lekin Rudra, Daksh Khuranna ke profile per koi jail sentence nahi hai

Om: ese kese ho sakta? Dikhao

shivaay: agar voh humare ankke ke samne jail gaya, toh yeh possible kese hai?

Gauri: kuch to nah, zaroor gadbad hai

Pushing their thoughts aside they all joined Anika and had breakfast. After, Anika got a call and excused herself to attend it

Anika: aap log continue, mere paas kohi zaroori kaam hai bahar. Mein jaati aab.

She informs them all and she leaves taking her phone

Om: Anika Bhaabi ko kya hua?

Gauri: pata nahi, parso bolri thi ki usne order kiya kuch dresses ke liye. Ho sakta voh order complete hai?

Few hours later Chanda ran into the house and bumped into Gauri and Bhavya, who were by chance walking by.

Gauri: Chanda Di aap yaha? Pune mein sab kese.......

Chanda: Ani.....Anika kaha hai?

The exhausted girl breathed heavily and Bhavya offered a glaas of water to her.

Bhavya: voh Bhaabi gaayi dresses collect karne ke liye, kyu?

Shivaay, Om and Rudra came, hearing the running sound

Shivaay: Chanda kya hua?

Chanda: Anika......

Shivaay: kuch kaam ke liye baar hai

Om: lekin hua kya?

Chanda: Neha is missing

(By the way Neha is Chanda's little daughter she is five years of age and Chanda has been married to Karan, her husband, for six years)

Shivaay: lekin Anika ko kyu dhoond ri hai?

Chanda: kyu ki kisi ne mujhe phone kiya aur kaha ki Anika Neha ke paas hai

Om: lekin Anika Bhaabi dresses lene ke liye gayi thi naa?

At that moment Khannah was moving towards Shivaay's room, but he got called by him

Shivaay: Khannah

Khannah: yes Sir

Shivaay: yeh kya hai?

Khannah: Anika Ma'am ne dresses order kiya, voh delivery aagaya

Shivaay: dresses delivery mein aaye?

Khannah: haa Sir, yeh dekho

Bhavya: Chanda Di mujhe phone do mein uss number ko track down karne ki koshish kar ungi

Chanda: okay Bhavya

Bhavya checked the number

Bhavya: Chanda Di yeh number toh untrackable, matlab kisi ne sim card ko destroy kiya. Kaafi time lagega, trace karne mein

Om: kohi nahi, Bhavya, tu Anika Bhaabi ki phone check karo

Bhavya: meine try kiya Bhaaiya, yeh number switched off hai, aur last location idhar dikhara hai

gauri: kaah gayi voh

Meanwhile, in a dark warehouse

Anika saw a man taking a small girl and trying to force himself on her. Shocked by this act, she grabbed a wooden bat and hit the man with it. As he fell to the ground, he was revealed to be no other than Arjun.

Arjun: aaahh

Neha: Anika Maasi

Anika: himmat kesi hui Arjun? Ek choti ladki ke saat yeh gahttiya harkat karne ke koshish kiya?

Neha was crying uncontrollably and she immediately ran over to anika, who assures the girl everything was fine.

Anika: rona maat, mein hoon na?

Arjun grabbed Anika's hand and threw her on the floor.

Arjun: you hit me, huh? Ab dekh, mein kya karta

He then started to hit her with the bat. Anika was helpless, as every time she tried to get up, she was hit back down

Neha: Maasi

The young girl was scared and shocked, what to do. After 5 minutes of Arjun continuously hitting anika he left from there after receiving a call.

Arjun: mein tera baad mein dekh lunga

Neha: Anika Maasi uttho

By now, Anika was unconscious. Young Neha took her phone, powered it on and called her Mom's number.

Chanda: hello Anika

She straight away put it on speaker.

Chanda: kaha ho tum?

Neha: Mummy

Chanda: Neha beti kaha ho tum?

Neha:(crying) Mummy Maasi aanke nahi khol ri hai

Chanda: okay baby mujhe batao tum kaha ho?

Neha: Mummy nahi pata kaha hai. Mummy jaldi aa na

Chanda: acha mein aari hoon

Shivaay: Bhavya phirse number ko track karo

Bhqvya: mil gaya, yeh address

Chanda: challo, jaldi

Shivaay: haa Chanda, Bhavya tum bhi aao

Bhavya: ji Bade Bhaaiya

Soon they reached a building, seeming to be an old factory, and hurried inside.

Chanda: Neha! Neha beti hum aagaye

Neha: Mummy

The three of them headed towards the noise of the shriek and saw Neha kneeling next to unconscious Anika

Chanda: Neha Anika yeh sab....

Chanda rushed and hugged her frightened daughter. Shivaay went to Anika

Shivaay: Anika uttho

Neha: Mummy Maasi ko kya hua?

Chanda: usko bohot chot laga, lekin hospital sirf uske wounds ko treat karenge

Bhavya: toh kya kare hum

Chanda: mein ek doctor hoon aur mere paas kuch medicines hai. Neha, tumhara bag kaha hai?

Neha: yaah

Bhavya took water out of the bag and sprinkled some on her face. Slowly Anika's coughs were faintly heard.

Shivaay: Anika

Chanda: usko araam karne doh

Neha: Shivaay Uncle

Shivaay: haa bolo Neha

Neha; meine suna tha ki Anika Maasi ne kuch naam bola

Shivaay: kya naam Neha

Neha: mujhse yaad nahi arra

All got into the car and journey wad going silently.

Bhavya: tho tumhara pati kaha hai?

Chanda: voh new york mein hai, uske maa baap vaah rete hei aur uske maa ka surgery hone wala hai. Issi liye voh vaha hai. Meine use bataya ab text karti hoon ki Neha mil gayi.

Neha: Arjun

Shivaay put hard brakes all of a sudden hearing Neha's scream

Chanda: Neha Arjun kaun hai? Aur meine kitni baar bola ese chilao maat, Shivaay Uncle ko distract ho sakta....

Shivaay: ek mint Chanda, bol Neha

Neha: voh naam Maasi ne kaha. Voh insaan ka naam Arjun hai

Bhavya: kya Neha are you sure?

Neha: yes Bhavya Maasi, Arjun tha

Shivaay: mein uss insaan ka jaan...

Chanda: Shivaay calm down. Anika bhi naa, ek dum......kisi ke baat nahi sunti

Shivaay: hmmm Chanda thumara hotel agaya vese Karan(chanda's husband) kab vaapis aayega?

Chanda: 3 din mein

Shivaay: acha medicines leker aao aur phir hum sab oberoi mansion jayenge

Chanda: lekin...

Bhavya: bade bhaayia sahi bolra hai. Aap ghaar ajao, vese bhi kuch dino ke saval hai. Aur aap protection ke under hoge 24/7

Chanda: thank you, Neha idhar rook mein abhi aati

Back at OM

Shivaay carried Anika to room and everyone came to see her

Om: Shivaay Bhaabi ko kya hua?

Bhavya: uss Arjun

Anika regains consciousnesses

Anika: Shiv...Shivaay Ne...Neha

Neha ran up to Anika and gave her a tight hug, mindful of her injuries.

Neha: thank you Maasi

Anika: kyu?

Neha: Meri jaan bachane keliye

Anika: kohi baat nahi

Chanda: naa Anika, sach mein thank you so much. Aapne sirf Neha ki jaan nahi bachayi, meri bhi.

Gauri: I think Anika Dii should rest now

Chanda: Neha go with Gauri Maasi kamre mein

Gauri Neha Om Rudra and bhavya left wishing Anika well.

Chanda: Anika yeh divaye li jiye

Anika: nahi ye karva hoga

Shivaay: ab tum bolungi ki iss medicine se tujhe michmichi machti hai

Anika: lekin...

Shivaay: Anika mujhe kuch nai suna hai

His voice became stern so Anika took the pills and fell asleep instantly due to side effects.

Chanda: agar voh middle of the night uttengi tho yeh medicine usko do aur yeh wala subha morning mein

Shivaay: thank you Chanda

Chanda: joh Anika ne mere liye kiya yeh bas kuch nahi hein. Aur haa, usse samjhao ki humesha apni jaan dao per rakhne ki kohi zaroorat nahi hai

Shivaay: bolta mein, lekin yeh zidd karti hai. Pa Ta nahi kab seekhne wali hai

Chanda left from there and Shivaay also slept soon after.
