AT TEMPLE

It was 7:30 in the evening. The temple was at peace. Nobody was there except a priest.
After completing the pooja for his parents, Shivaay was sitting on the stairs . He was looking at the sky with tears in his eyes.

(I am sorry but I didn't get a better picture than this)

He was missing his parents very badly. He was blaming himself for the accident which took place years back.

He was lost in his own thoughts when he felt someone's presence behind him. He turns around to find the same priest who conducted the pooja for his parents.

He looks at the priest and smiles. The priest comes and sits beside him.

P- What happened ,beta ? You look disturbed.

S- I don't know pandit ji but I always feel very restless. I am not getting peace of my mind.

P-Don't worry beta. Everything which happens in our life ,is looked after by God himself.He never disappoints His children. He may take some tests but later when you get the results ,it is far better than anything.

Shivaay looks at pandit ji with hopeful eyes.

P-you know beta,you are sitting in the home of God. He will take all your problems and trust me you will soon get your peace. And when you will get it, it will never leave you.

Shivaay smiles after listening to the priest.

P-I think I should leave. It is already very late. You should also go home.

The priest leaves.

AT MALHOTRA MANSION

In the living room of malhotra mansion, everything was ready for the marriage. Tej and Swetlana were instructing the workers to do their work properly . Daksh was sitting in the mandap and he was smiling continuously.

D(thinks)-Finally the moment is here . Now noone will come between us . Now you will be MINE Anika.

Tej was also very happy that finally his business will reach new heights.

T(to Swetlana)-Swetlana, please call Anika. I want to finish this wedding as soon as possible.

Swetlana goes towards Anika's room.

IN ANIKA'S ROOM

Gauri was sitting on Anika's bed. She was looking very tensed .

G(thinks)-Oh God, please help Anika so that she runs away far from this place. Please send a saviour for Anika who will always be by her side in every up and down and save her from these monsters.

At the same time, Swetlana enters the room. She looks around the room but doesn't find Anika.

S-Gauri, where is Anika?

G-Umm..... mm..... An... Anika .....was ....washroom. Haan she is in washroom.

S-Ok tell her to come fast .Its getting late for the wedding.

G-Haan, you go downstairs. I will bring Anika.

S-No , I will wait for her here only. Let her come.

After waiting for 5 minutes, Swetlana was getting restless . She was sure that something is fishy.

She runs towards the washroom and turns the knob. The door was not locked. She hurriedly runs in the washroom and searches for Anika but there was not a single trace of Anika. She gets out of the room and gets hold of Gauri.

S- You b*tch! Where the hell is Anika? Where have you sent her?

G(laughs)- You know what , vilayati chudail, sometimes I feel pity on you because you will never be successful in your evil plans. And about Anika, then you will never be able to find her.

S(fumes in anger)- You b*tch I will not leave you. And once I get hold of your friend, then she will come to know what is real hell.

Swetlana leaves the room and reaches living room.

S-Tej (shouts) . Tej, Anika ran away. And that Gauri is also not telling that where she has sent Anika.

Daksh also hears this and threatens Tej.

D- How could you let this happen? Get this in your pea-size brain, Mr. Malhotra that if I don't get Anika, then forget about your bl**dy deal and your profit.

T-Daksh, please try to understand. I don't know how she ran away. But you don't worry, I'll soon get hold of Anika and then she will be all yours.

Tej calls his goons and orders them to find Anika anyhow.

T(thinks)- Anika, you have not done this right. Now you will have to face the consequences of your deed. Trust me, it will not be good for you.

ON THE OTHER SIDE

Anika was exhausted after running so much. She was also feeling dizzy because she was avoiding her meals since she got the news of her marriage. She was few metres away from a temple. She thought to sit for a while. She was walking slowly towards the temple.

Suddenly, she heard some noises behind her. She turned back to find some goons at a few distance. They were talking about her.

G1- Arey look at that girl in bridal clothes. I think she is the one whom we are finding.

G2- yes, she is that girl only.

G1- Lets catch her,boss will be very happy and maybe he can give extra amount of money also.

Anika hears their talk and gets tensed.

A(thinks)-Oh God ! These goons are sent by dad. Now what will I do? Please God help me! If dad will find me then he will forcefully make me marry that Daksh. No, I have to do something .

Anika immediately runs towards the temple to get some help. Her health was also not supporting her.

A goon sees her running away and shouts-

G2- Arey look she is running away. We have to catch her anyhow or boss will kill us.

They also start running behind Anika to catch her.

Anika increases her pace to reach the temple.

While in the temple, Shivaay realises the time and gets up from the stairs and moves towards the exit of the temple to leave for his home.

Anika finally reaches the temple and her head was spinning very badly. She still manages to run a little but suddenly she collides with someone.

That someone is none other than our hero Shivaay.

Shivaay holds Anika and saves her from falling.

Shivaay looks at Anika and recognises her(remember that they met at the mall ).

Anika looks at Shivaay and says-

A(faintly whispers)- Please save me from them.

Anika faints in Shivaay's arms.

(Assume that Anika is fainted).

PRECAP- Shivaay saves Anika from goons and a new beginning.
