"Thik hai phir....mein tumhe do minute deta hun apne aap ko prepare karne ke liye." Prabhudaya laughed as if they had just cracked some funny joke. He turned around and walked towards the bedroom. Two of his men freed Aarushi and Bandana. As soon as the men went away, Aarushi turned towards Bandana.

"Yeh humne kya kiya?" Bandana asked. Aarushi bit her lip.

"Yaar. Mera dimag nahi chal raha!" Aarushi threw her arms in the air in frustration.

"Faltu ideas ka pitara hai tera dimaag. Abhi kaise nahi aa rahe ideas?" Bandana narrowed her gaze at her.

"My brain can't function under immense pressure." Aarushi mumbled fidgeting with her fingers. Bandana rolled her eyes.

"Full on Nautanki." She muttered and smiled slightly.

"Okay look. Mein Daya Ben ka dhyaan bhatkati hun...tu jaakar baaki ladko ki rassiyan kholkar aa." Aarushi devised her master plan.

"Excuse me? Did I just hear 'Daya Ben'?" Bandana scrunched up her nose. Aarushi smacked her forehead.

"Uh...too much of Taarak Mehta lately...mera matlab tha Prabhudeva..." She corrected herself.

"Prabhudaya you mean." Bandana corrected her again. Aarushi made a face.

"Ab tu kya uss gadhe ka naam correct karke time waste karegi?" Aarushi rose her eyebrows.

Bandana rolled her eyes.

"Par tu akele kaise sambhalegi isko?" Bandana asked.

"Aarushi the Great is trying to rack her brains for an amazing grand master plan. Take a chill pill and go save your boyfriend and his friends." Aarushi grinned. Bandana gave her the look.

Bandana took a turn. She was about to leave when Aarushi yelled:

"BANANA THE SAVIOUR TO THE RESCUE!"

Bandana chuckled.

"I'll be back with reinforcements." Bandana promised.

"Byeee!" Aarushi chirped. As soon as Bandana was out of sight Aarushi slumped against the wall.

"Ab mein kya karun? Daya Ben kisi bhi waqt waapas aata hi hoga." She started to worry. Suddenly, a bulb lit up above her head and she snapped her fingers.

"Mast!" Aarushi got up and went to the kitchen.

                          **********

An unknown man was talking on the phone. He was dressed in black. His face was covered with a mask. His left hand was a show piece of a dragon tattoo.

"Yes sir, ab mein ghar ke andar jaane wala hun. Un logon ne saari ladkiyon ko pakad rakha hai. Humein unhe bachana hoga isse pehle kuch bura ho jaye." He paused. On the phone, someone gave him orders. "Yes sir....okay sir....done sir...100% sir..."

                        ************

Sara was thrown against the bedroom wall. One man began advancing towards her while simultaneously unbuttoning his shirt.

"Baaki sab kaha hai?!" Sara yelled. The man laughed.

"Sab ladkiyon ko alag-alag rooms mein le gaye hai. Aaj raat hum sab ke liye bahut aalishaan hogi!" The man widely spread his arms out in the open.

"Chee...kaise neech log ho tum....kehene ko ek baba ki sharan mein ho...aur aise ghinaune kaam karte ho...koi sharam nahi...tumhara maa-baap ne tumhe yeh sabh sikhaya hai?" Sara spat in his face. The man got very angry. He came near her and gave her one tight slap across her face. Her right cheek swelled up and turned red.

"Apni jeebh par lagaam de ladki...mujhe zyaada bhadakane ki zaroorat nahi hai...tere saath jo hona hai woh toh hoke hi rahega..."

A tear scrolled down Sara's cheek. Her body went numb. She couldn't feel anything. She had prepared herself for the worst case scenario. Her fists clenched at her sides. Her heart raced twenty times faster. She could feel the temperature drop in the surroundings. The beating of her heart echoed in her ears.

"Hey Bhagwan, meri raksha karna...Abhishek...I love you..." She whispered softly.

                      ************

Prabhudaya came back where Aarushi was waiting with a bag.
He eyed the bag.

"Yeh kya hai?" He asked. Aarushi looked at him.

"Weapons." Aarushi replied.

                       ************

Bandana ran outside in the garden. She saw all the boys tied up with ropes. Her eyes fell on Yudhveer whose face was tear stained.

'Yudhveer cried?' She thought. She ran near them. The boys saw her and their faces lightened up.

"Bandan-" Yudhveer was about to say something but Bandana tackled him into a bear hug. Tears flew down her face like streams of chocolate in a chocolate fountain. (PS- A/N: I WAS FASTING TODAY SO I AM HUNGRY. APOLOGIES FOR ALL THE FOOD REFERENCES.) They both hugged each other like there is no tomorrow.

Which probably wasn't.

"Oh God, sab theek hai na??" Bandana asked looking at everyone.

"Haan sab theek hai. Tum bahar kaise aayi? Andar sab theek hai na?" Sumedh asked.

"Sara kaisi hai?!" Abhishek demanded.

"Aur Parul?" Siddharth asked.

"Guys, abhi mere paas sabke sawalo ke jawab dene ka samay nahi hai...all I can say is that sab kuch bahut gadbad ho raha hai...kuch bhi sahi nahi jaa raha hai...filhal mujhe tum sabki rassiyan kholne do.." Bandana informed untying Yudhveer's wrists.

Today is my idiot's birthday. Happy 19th Birthday _singh_sara_!

You're old enough to own a driver's licence now. Jaakar gaadi chalana seekh le. Kuch kaam kar kaamchor. You get a driver's licence then drive me around Linking Road in Mumbai as I shop for new stuff.

Lol, I really, really suck at writing these long messages. I am a lazy typer.

Dear Sara,

                   I am writing this letter to you to inform you that I have been desperately waiting for you to update your book. I have no idea why you dont understand that I love you. I love your book. I love your jokes. I love your style. Ekdum bhikari ki tarah you dress. Chehra ekdum homeless hobo ki tarah lekar ghumti hai. Pata nahi log tere andar kya dekhte hai. Forget that. I don't  even know why I am your friend. Tu ek number ki kuttri hai. You're lucky I love you. Agar koi aandu paandu hoti toh zara bhi bhav nahi deti mein tujhe.

I have successfully managed to write bullshit in this letter.

I told you, I suck at this.

Jug jug jiyo, phalo, bache paida karo, mujhe bua banao, mere liye ache ache chapter likho.

Tu hai toh ekdum gone case. Mein pata nahi yeh formal letter kyun likh rahi hun.

Anyways, on a serious note, A very happy birthday, monkey. Have a great year ahead. A life full of opportunities and success is waiting for your essence. Flower your blessings on me. Mujhe bhi bhikari ka latest fashion style apne upar apply karna hai.

Stay massst❤

Loads of AmaZAYN love for ExtraordinHARRY Sara Nigam,

Mrs. Stypayhorlikson❤

^^^^^Look at this bhikari ^^^^^
