In Haryana:

In a dark room where no one can even stay for a single second, a girl is standing and silently sitting near a window and looking at the sky without blinking her eyes. Her face is clean with no makeup, no charm, no smile, no anger or can say without any emotion. Her eyes are deep but empty. She is just looking at the stars with some desperation.

Girl: "Dadu, aap kyu chodkr gyy muje iss ghr ma? Apki y ladli aaj iss ghr ma sbke sath hokr bhi akeli h. Hnn, hone ko sb h pr mere liye koi nhi. Avi k liye mumma h, Mishti k liye papa h but mere liye koi nhi h dadu. Hnn, shyd aap sochoge ki bhua k bcche h pr mere sath jo hua uske baad m kisi pr bharosa nhi kr paungi. Apke jane k baad mene khud ko bht akela mehsoos kiya h, jb tk aap tk mene kbhi koi kami mehsoos nhi ki pr ab muje sbse bdi kami mehsoos hoti h. Aur ap jante h vo kami kya h? Vo kami h pyar ki…Apki Takshi toot chuki h dadu pr vo kisi ko dikha tk nhi skti kyunki vo dhokha khane k baad bharosa nhi krna chahti ab frse…."

(Grandpa, why did you leave me in this house? Your darling is alone in this house today, even though she is with everyone. Yes, there is everyone, but no one for me. Avi has his mom, Mishti has her dad, but I have no one, Grandpa. Yes, you might think that there are my cousins, but after what happened to me, I can’t trust anyone anymore. After you left, I felt very lonely; until you were here, I never felt any lack, but now I feel the greatest lack of all. And do you know what that lack is? That lack is of love… Your Takshi is broken, Grandpa, but she can’t show it to anyone because after being deceived, she doesn’t want to trust anyone again…)

Saying this her eyes becomes moist but she chooses to stay strong for herself and said: "Aap chinta mtt kriye dadu, Takshvi Mittal ab kbhi nhi tootegi aur sbse bdi baat kisi ko dil ma jgh nhi degi ab…unn logo ko m kbhi maaf nhi krungi dadu jinhone muje y bnaya h" . 

(Don't worry, Grandpa. Takshvi Mittal will never break again, and most importantly, she won't let anyone hurt her heart anymore... I will never forgive those people, Grandpa, who made me like this.)

Saying this, she turns and leaves toward the washroom and soon the shower turns on and starts taking a shower. Her heartbreaking sobbing is echoing the whole room, but the whole Mittal family is unaware about it.

Meanwhile, In Punjab:

In Airan Villa, one brother is working in the living room while it is up to something. Yes, Yuvaan is working peacefully while Anish is in the kitchen softly humming song and cooking for his midnight cravings. After preparing noodles he goes into the living room and sits beside Yuvaan and says: "Kya bhai aap bhi bss kaam kaam kaam…. kbhi maze bhi kro. Lo khaoge?" 

(Hey brother, you are just work, work, work... ever have some fun too? Want to eat?)

Yuvaan rolls his eyes dramatically and by hiding smile he says: "Anish, tu doctor h aur tu hi y sb khata h? Patients ko kya kehta hoga?"  

(Anish, you are a doctor and you eat all this yourself? What must you be telling the patients?)

Anish huffs dramatically and said: "Aap na rhne do. M enjoy krta hu life, apki trh boring nhi hu." 

(You leave it. I enjoy life; I'm not boring like you.)

Yuvaan keeps his laptop aside on which Anish’s playful nature flies out and says: "Bhai, kya hua?" 

(Bro, what happened?)

Yuvaan starts rolling his sleeves and asks: "Am I boring, Mr. Airan?" 

Anish nervously says: "No bhai, I was just joking." 

Saying this he places a laptop in Yuvaan’s lap and says: " Bhai, ap kaam kro. M toh bss aise hi keh rha tha..."  

(Bro, you do your work. I was just saying it casually...)

Yuvaan: "M bhi aise hi thppd maar dunga fr na kahio ki lg gyi."

(I’ll slap like this too, don’t later say it hurts.)

Anish nodded and muttered: "Bss bde hone ki dhos jamani aati h. Agle janam ma m bda hokr btaungo inko."  

(Just taking advantage of being older. In the next life, I’ll show them after becoming older.)

But to his bad luck Yuvaan heard this and said: "Beta, filhal m bda hu. M btata hu, ruk tu aaj…" 

(Kiddo, for now, I am older. I'll show you, wait today…)

Saying this he places laptop aside and rushed toward him who dodged the cushion on him and ran toward his room while carrying his noodles in his hands. Yuvaan is chasing him and says: "Anish, ruk ja. Bht maar khaega vrna."  

(Anish, stop. You'll get beaten up a lot otherwise.)

Anish laughs and says: "Bhaiya, ruk gya toh aur pitunga isiliye aaj nhi..."  

(Brother, if I stop, I'll get beaten up even more, that's why not today...)

Saying this he enters his room and the moment he turns to close the door, Yuvaan enters and says: "So, now where will you go?" 

Anish: "Bhai, jane do na…" 

(Brother, let me go...)

Yuvaan slapped lightly over his back and said: "Kum bola kr…"  

(Speak less...)

Anish rolls his eyes and says: "M normal bolta hu, ap kum bolte ho…"  

(I speak normally; you speak less...)

Yuvaan raises his eyebrows and says: "Is it?" 

Anish nodded and said while sitting on the bed: "It is. And ap thoda change ho jao vrna shadi k baad Bhabhi preshan ho jaeingi…"  

(It is. And you need to change a bit or else after marriage, bhabhi will be annoyed...)

Hearing this, Yuvaan sits beside him and says: "Muje nhi lgta." 

(I don't think so.)

Sensing change in Yuvaan’s tone, Anish turns toward him and says: "Bhaiya, kb tk apne dil ki nhi sunoge?" 

(Bhaiya, till when you will not listen to your heart?)

Yuvaan smiles sadly and says: "M kuch nhi kr skta chote, vo bdl gyi h…. Vo toh ab kuch aur hi bn gyi h." 

(I can’t do anything…she has changed a lot.)

Anish asks: "Kya hua h bhai?" 

(What happened, bhai?)

Yuvaan: "M nhi janta chote pr jb mene last month usko dekha tha vo alg thi... Vo humare sath jese bchpan ma rehti thi vesi nhi h… Vo na hsti h, na bolti h bss bht chup h…"  

(I don't know, little one, but when I saw her last month, she was different... She's not the same as she used to be when she stayed with us in childhood... She neither laughs nor talks, she's just very quiet...)

Anish gets worried and says: "Toh bhai unhe yaha le aao na… Hum unka dhyan rkhenge. Vo pkka thk ho jaengi..."

(Then brother, bring her here... We will take care of her. She will definitely get better…)

Yuvaan turns and hugs him: "Janta hu chote, isiliye kl ja rha hu…" 

(I know, little one, that's why I am going tomorrow...)

Hearing this Anish’s face brightens and says: "Schi bhai, m pray krunga ki ap iss baar bhabhi ko lekr aao…"  

(Really, brother, I will pray that you bring Bhabhi this time...)

Yuvaan nodded and said: "Tu bhi chlega mere sath? Please…"  

(Will you come with me too? Please...)

Anish: "Please kyu keh rhe ho bhai? Apko bss unke sath Khushi milti h toh m jarur chlunga..." 

(Why are you saying please, brother? If you get happiness just by being with her, I'll definitely go...)

Yuvaan nodded and said: "Chl ab tu rest kr, m bhi jata hu." 

(Okay, now you rest, I’ll go too.)

Anish nodded and said: "Good Night bhai." 

Yuvaan nodded and left from there toward his room. Behind him, Anish stands up and moves toward balcony and says while looking star: "Mumma, bhai ko khushi dene ma help krna…apke aur papa k jane k baad hum dono Haryana se yaha aa gyy taki hum apne aap ko sambhal ske and ap dekho apke dono bete ab rote nhi h. Hum ek doosre ki strength h papa. Ap kehte th na papa ki hum dono bss ldte rehte pr dekho ab hum khushi se rehte h hum nhi ldte… Bss ab muje meri Bhabhi dilva do. M bhai ko aur tdpta nhi dekh skta… Agr aaj ap yaha hote toh bhai ko ab tk unka vo pyar mil chuka hota but apko and mumma ko toh Bhagwan pehle hi humse duur kr chuke…. Uss accident ma ap hume bchakr khud chle gyy… Pr ab humari iss family ko pura kr dijiye…please…"

(Mom, help make your brother happy… after you and dad passed away, we both came here from Haryana so that we could take care of ourselves, and look, see, both your sons don't cry anymore. We are each other's strength, Dad. You used to say that we both just keep fighting, but look, now we live happily, we don't fight… Now just get me my sister-in-law. I can't see my brother in pain anymore… If you were here today, brother would have already received that love by now, but God had separated you and mom from us long ago… In that accident, you saved us and left yourself… But now, please complete our family…please…)

Saying this he turns and wipes a single tear which leaves his eye because of longingness. He never committed but he always wants his parents with him but fate plays. Keeping his feelings calm, he left toward the bathroom and after taking a shower he slept.

Next morning,

In Haryana:

Sun rises Takshvi is fully dressed up like a corporate employee and enters the dining area but stops in the middle after hearing her aunt’s taunt: "Subah subah, no good morning no hello hey…not even helped in cooking, now someone will leave to her office like a royal queen." 

Takshvi stayed silent and looked toward her mother who mouthed: "Don’t speak." 

Takshvi nodded and finished her breakfast and moves toward her father and says: "Papa, I will be late today." 

Her father looks up and asks: "Any particular reason?" 

Takshvi nodded and said: "I have to meet a client today." 

Her father nodded and said: "I hope this client is not your novel’s author." 

Takshvi nodded and said: "No, he is CA and meeting me for some filing work." 

Her father nodded and said: "Okay. And I hope tumhe meri baat samjh aa gyi hogi ki novels se ghr nhi chlta. Ghr chlane k liye paise chahiye hote h. " 

(Okay. And I hope that now you have understood my point that home can’t be run by novels. For expenses, money is needed.)

Takshvi remained emotionless and left without saying anything on which his uncle taunted: "Krishna bhai, apne hi bigada h vrna y itni nhi udti hava ma..." 

(Krishna bhai, you had spoiled her otherwise she is not flying like this….)

Manju also added: "Hnn shi keh rhe ho. Iski akd hi khtm nhi hoti…"

(Yes, you are right. Her ego is too much….)

Krishna and Alka don’t reply and leave toward their room. Entering in room, Alka says: "Ab bht ho rha h. Takshvi kuch na krk bhi bht kuch kr rhi h. Kuch krna hoga vrna y dono hume suna suna kr maar denge."  

(That's enough now. Takshvi is doing a lot without even trying. Something has to be done, otherwise these two will drain us completely.)

Krishna nodded and said: "M vese bhi soch rha hu ki Rishta kr dete h iska…"  

(I was thinking anyway that we should arrange a match for her…)

Alka nodded and said: "Ji, ldka dekhiye ap."

(Yes, you check the boy.)

Krishna nodded and asked: "Mishti uth gyi?" 

(Has Mishti gotten up?)

Alka nodded and said: "Hnn, Avi k sath school chli gyi thi subah hi." 

(Yes, she went to school with Avi this morning.)

Krishna nodded and said: "Hm, kuch months ma y dono bhi college ma aa jaeingi. 12 k baad dekhte h kya krenge y. Takshvi na toh naam mitti ma mila diya. Muje Mishti se Umeed h." 

(Hmm, in a few months these two will also start college. We’ll see what to do after the 12th. Takshvi has ruined her reputation. I have hope from Mishti.)

Alka nodded and said: "Hnn, aur muje Avi se h." 

(Yes, and I have hope from Avi.)

Krishna nodded and left from there. But unknowingly Takshvi hears the whole conversation and turns on her heels and enters in her room. She starts searching for something in drawers and then pulls out a bottle and gulps down some pills and says: "I will never forgive this family for making me this. This family just cares about their younger children but for me there is no one. If, my phone was not left in this room then, maybe I will not be able to hear this."  

Saying this her breathing gets uneven and starts searching her mobile and opens her wallpaper on which her grandfather’s photo was displaying. She kept her mobile close to her heart and said: "Dadu, kuch kijiye…M y shadi nhi kr paungi… Please, kuch kijiye..."  

(Dadu, do something…. I can’t do this marriage…. Please, do something…)

Saying this she starts sobbing but suddenly her phone rings and she sees the caller I’d which is displaying a cousin crime group. She quickly wipes her tears and drinks some water and receives a call.

On Call:

Takshvi: "Hello everyone."

All replied to her but in the middle a tiny voice comes: "Btao m kon hu bhua?" 

(Tell. Who am I, bhua?)

Takshvi smiles and says: "Kya y mera Ruhan baby h?" 

(Is he my Ruhan baby?)

Ruhan: "Noo, Ruhan toh so rha h bhua…"  

(No, Ruhan is sleeping bhua…)

All chuckles and Takshvi say: " Ohoo, pr muje toh Ruhan ko dekhna tha…"  

(Ohoo, but I want to see Ruhan…)

Ruhan peaks out and says: "Schi?"  

(Really?)

Takshvi nodded and said: "Kesa h mera baby?"  

(How’s my baby?)

Ruhan: "Ekdum mst bhua..."  

(All good, bhua….)

Takshvi nodded and said: "Bhabhi, Ruhan na kha liya kuch?"  

(Bhabhi, has Ruhan eaten something?)

Neetu nodded and said: "Hnn, bss abhi khilaya h." 

(Yes, I just made him eat.)

Takshvi nodded and said: "Okay. And Dharna didi, Anaya and Shivayy kese h?"  

(Okay. And Dharna didi, how are Anaya and Shivayy?)

Dharna nodded and said: "Thk h beta. Pr teri eyes kyu swelled h?"

(All good beta but why are your eyes swollen up?)

All gets worried and looks toward her eyes on which Takshvi tried to avoid her eye contact. But stopped in the middle by Anshul’s voice: "Neetu, Ruhan ko mmy ko de aao."  

(Neetu, give Ruhan to mumma outside.)

Neetu nodded and said: "Come, Ruhan." 

Ruhan pouted and said: "Bhua, m thodi der ma call krunga."

(Bhua, I will call you later.)

Takshvi nodded and said: "Okay baby, bhua loves you."

Ruhan smiles and says: "Ruhan also loves you." 

Soon, Ruhan leaves and Neetu returns after closing the door. While, Takshvi kept her eyes down to hide swelling.

Khushal clears his throat and says: "Takshvi here." 

Takshvi nodded and said: "Hm bol."  

(Hm, speak.)

Ankit: "Roi h tu?"  

(Did you cry?)

Takshvi shakes her head and says: "No jiju, nothing like that."

Rahul raises his eyebrows and says: "Is it?" 

Takshvi nodded and said: "Yes bhaiya."

Khushal sighs and says: "I know Takshvi tu jhuth bol rhi h."  

(I know Takshvi, you are not telling the truth.)

Ankit: "And I know tu roi bhi kin logo ki vgh se h."  

(And I know the reason?)

Anshul: "Takshvi beta, kitni baar kaha h. Mere pass aaja, m, teri Bhabhi, Rahul h na yaha." 

(Takshvi beta, I have said many times. Come here, I am here, your Bhabhi is also here and Rahul too.)

Dharna nodded and said: "Vrna yaha aaja, m aur tere jiju h na." 

(Otherwise, come here. I and your jiju are also here.)

Takshvi shakes her head and says: "I am fine, just tired." 

Khushal: "Takshvi, mere pass aaja. M bhi bore ho jata hu…" 

(Takshvi, come here. I am also getting bored here…)

Takshvi’s eyes filled up with fresh tears by getting this much support and love but she remained unaffected and says: "No, I am fine. Don’t stress yourself."

Ankit observes something and says: " Takshvi beta, vo medicine ki bottle dikhana."  

(Takshvi beta, show me those medicines.)

Takshvi’s eyes widen and say: "No jiju, it’s just headache pills."

Ankit sternly says: "Takshvi!!!" 

Takshvi nodded and showed the bottle and on Ankit gasped in shock and said: "Are you mad??"

Takshvi stays silent on which Anshul asks: "Kya hua jiju?"

(What happened, jiju?)

Ankit: "These are anti depression pills which are usually taken for panic attacks." 

Hearing this all becomes shocked and looks toward her who just stays unbothered.

Khushal: "I am coming."

Anshul: "I am also coming with Neetu and Rahul." 

Ankit: "I am coming with Dharna." 

Hearing this, Takshvi’s eyes widen and try to say something but Rahul interrupts and says: "Not a single word, Miss. Mittal!!! And come to the apartment in the evening." 

Takshvi flinched on stern tone and nodded. Others sigh and Takshvi says: "M late ho rhi hu office k liye. Baad ma baat krungi…"  

(I am getting late. I will talk later.)

All nodded and then, Takshvi left for her office.  

In Punjab:

Anish wakes up and after getting ready he goes for breakfast where Yuvaan was already waiting for him. Seeing Yuvaan, Anish hugs him and says: "Good Morning Bhai." 

Yuvaan smiles warmly and says: "Good Morning Anish. Come, let’s have breakfast." 

Anish nodded and said while eating: " Bhai, kb niklna h?" 

(Bhai, when will we leave?)

Yuvaan: "Bss, breakfast krle. And packing krk chlte h." 

(Just complete breakfast and after doing packing let’s go.)

Anish nodded and quickly wrapped up breakfast and went into his room to do packing. After packing bags, both left for Haryana. But something has changed in these two brothers. The carefree Anish had become serious while Yuvaan is thinking about his future now. The gravity of the situation is heavy for that moment but both are trying our best to stay calm but Anish breaks the silence and says: "Bhai, unko kya hua h?"  

(Bhai, what happened to her?)

Yuvaan: "M nhi janta chote, pr vo bht chup thi jb mene usko last time dekha tha. Uski ankhe- vo toh bilkul khali thi jese uske andr koi emotion hi na ho, uski body- vo kaha chubby hua krti thi but ab bht ptli h."  

(I don’t know chote, but she was very quiet the last time I saw her. Her eyes—they were completely empty, as if there was no emotion left inside her. Her body—she used to be quite chubby, but now she has become very thin.)

Anish’s face fell after listening to this and said: "Mtlb ab m unhe chida bhi nhi skta?"  

(So that means I can’t even tease her anymore?)

Yuvaan shakes his head and says: "No, and don’t even try because we don’t know ki usko kya hit kr jaega."

(No, and don’t even try, because we don’t know what might trigger her.)

Anish nodded and said: "Ap tension mtt lo bhaiya, m dhyan rkhunga."  

(Don’t worry, bhaiya, I’ll be careful.)

Yuvaan nodded and soon they reached Haryana and went toward their old house. They both enter the villa and then an old man comes and says: "Yuvaan sir aap yaha?"  

(Yuvaan sir, you’re here?)

Yuvaan touched his feet and said: " Uncle kitni baar kaha h sir na kaha kre…m apke bete jesa hu."  

(Uncle, how many times have I told you not to call me ‘sir’? I’m like your son.)

The man nodded and looked toward Anish and said to Yuvaan: "Ap inko kyu sath le ayy?" 

(Why did you bring him along?)

Anish rolls his eyes and says: "Apko koi dikkat h, Mr. Shambhu?" 

(Do you have a problem with it, Mr. Shambhu?)

Shambhu sighs and says with smirk: "Muje kya, iss Haryana ko dikkat hone vali h kyunki apko bardash krna bht mushkil h."  

(Why would I? It’s Haryana that’s going to have a problem, because tolerating you is very difficult.)

Yuvaan chuckled while Anish makes face and says: "Agr ap bde ni hote na fr btata m."  

(If you weren’t an elder, I’d have shown you.)

Shambhu laughs and says: "Koi baat nhi chlo. Ap dono jao aaram kro. M khane k liye kuch arrange krvata hu."  

(It’s alright, come on. You both go and rest. I’ll arrange something for food.)

Yuvaan interrupts and says: "Nhi uncle, abhi kum bss rest krk kaam se ja rhe. Raat ko dinner krenge yaha." 

(No, uncle. For now, just rest—we’ll leave for work later. We’ll have dinner here at night.)

Shambhu nodded and Yuvaan left with Anish for rest.

Later in the evening, In Takshvi’s personal apartment:

Since, in Mittal Villa she felt suffocated so she purchased this apartment to get some peace where she can do whatever she wants without any taunt and restriction. Also, her cousins have a spare key of this apartment so whenever they want to meet, they just come there.

Takshvi enters and sees that her all cousins are waiting for her. Seeing Takshvi there, two kids run toward her while saying: "Bhua…. Masi…" 

Takshvi places her bag side and bends to their level and says: "Ruhan aap bhi aa gyy? And you little don, apko pdhai ni krni thi, haan?"  

(Ruhan, you here? And you little don, don’t you want to study?)

Ruhan giggles and says: "Mene thoda rone ka drama kiya aur m aa gya…"  

(I came after doing a little drama of crying.)

Shivayy nodded and said: "Yes masi, same here." 

Hearing this, Takshvi smiles and says: "Accha, chlo ab mere room ma enjoy krte h… " 

(Okay, come. Let’s enjoy it in my room.)

And then, leave from there with them. After entering her room, she made Shivayy and Ruhan sit in bed comfortably and said: "So, aaj kya khana h ap dono ko?" 

(So, what do you guys want to eat?)

Ruhan: " Chocolate…"

Takshvi shakes her head and says: "Baby, apki teeth pain krenge na."  

(Baby, your teeth will be in pain.)

Ruhan pouts on which Shivayy says: " Aree Ruhan, hum shake pite h na..." 

(Ruhan, let’s have a shake.)

Ruhan’s eyes widen in excitement and nodded on which Takshvi says: "Okay, so m 2-minute ma change krk aati hu tb tk no msti. Aram se bithna h., Okay?"  

(Okay, I am coming in 2 minutes after changing. Till then, no masti. Sit quietly. Okay?)

Both nodded and soon, Takshvi gets comfortable in the lower tshirt and goes to bring shakes for them.

In kitchen:

Dharna and Neetu enter and ask: "Kese ho beta?" 

(How are you, beta?)

Takshvi nodded and said: "Thk hu. Ap dono baitho m aati hu unn dono ko sulakr." 

(Okay. You both sit; I’ll go and put them to sleep.)

Neetu holds Takshvi’s arm gently and says: "Muje bhi nhi btaegi?"  

(You won’t tell me too?)

Takshvi shakes her head and says: " Bhabhi, ap overthink kr rhe ho. M khush hu." 

(Sister-in-law, you are overthinking. I am happy.)

Dharna takes the tray and says: "Jakr baitho sbke sath, m aati hu unn dono ko sulakr."  

(Go sit with everyone, I’ll come and put them to sleep.)

Takshvi interrupts: "Didi please, bss unke sath shanti milti h thodi der ma aa jaungi."  

(Didi please, I just get some peace with them, I’ll come in a little while.)

Dharna was about to say something, but Neetu says: "Okay, but come fast." 

Takshvi nodded and left from there and entered her room. And places a tray on the side table and sits on the bed and the moment she sits, Ruhan and Shivayy attack on her and say: "Ab hum apko nhi chodenge."  

(Now we won’t let you go.)

Takshvi gasps and says: " But mene kya kiya h?" (But what did I do?)

Ruhan giggles and says: "Ap hume ghumane nhi lekr gyy th last week. Apne promise kiya tha." 

(You didn’t take us out last week. You promised.)

Shivayy: "Yes masi, ab apko humse kyu nhi bcha skta."  

(Yes masi, now why can’t we stop you?)

Takshvi was about to say but both troublemakers start tickling her on which she laughs and rolls on bed but suddenly her breathing gets uneven on which Shivayy and Ruhan stop and say: "Bhua/Masi kya hua?"  

(Masi/bhua, what happened?)

Takshvi is not able to reply to what Shivay says: "Ruhan, jao papa ko bolo ki jldi ayy." 

(Ruhan, go and call papa quickly.)

Ruhan runs and soon, all enters and Ankit rushes toward her and says: " Takshvi, beta listen. Look here..." 

Takshvi shakes her head and tries to catch her breath but fails in which Ankit says: " All of you, wait outside. And Dharna, car ma mera medical bag h usko lao."  

(All of you, wait outside. And Dharna, bring my medical bag from the car.)

All nodded and soon Dharna also left after giving a medical bag to him. Ankit placed the bag over the bed and said: "Beta, muje dekh. Shant ho sb thk h."  

(Beta, look at me. Calm down.)

But getting no result, he opens his bag and prepares an injection and says: "Shh…you don’t even feel it. Relax baccha." 

Takshvi nodded and Ankit hugged her on which she flinched hard, and Ankit’s heart clenched by sensing it but chose to ignore and said: "Shant ho beta, yhi hu na m. Take a deep breath…" 

(Calm down beta, I am here. Take a deep breath…)

Saying this he injected in her arm on which Takshvi closes her eyes on a sharp sting while Ankit says: "Bsbs hogya, ab muje dekh."  

(Done done, look at me.)

Takshvi nodded and soon medicine worked and she closed her eyes. Ankit observes it and makes her lay over the bed comfortably and says while staring at her face: "M thkk chuka hu beta teri iss chupi se. Na tu khud k karib aane deti h na khud aati h. Dil dukhta h beta ab teri iss halat se. Janta hu tuje kitna drr lgta h injection se pr ab toh ghbrati tk nhi h, kyu chupa rhi h beta apne drd mujse. Tuje jb mila tha 10 saal pehle mene tuje kya dekha tha ek chill krne vali ldki jisko sbki khushi se jyada khud ki khushi dikhti thi pr ab tu jese bss saas le rhi h. Kb todegi y chupi beta…"  

(I am fed up with your silence, dear. Neither do you let yourself come close nor do you come on your own. My heart hurts seeing your condition now. I know how scared you are of injections, but now you don’t even get anxious. Why are you hiding your pain from me, dear? When I met you 10 years ago, I saw a lively girl who cared more about her own happiness than anyone else’s, but now you just seem to be taking breaths. When will you break this silence, dear…)

Saying he turns and wipes his tears and leaves while closing the door. And after coming out he looks at everyone and sees Shivayy and Ruhan crying on which he moves toward them and says: "Shiv baccha, masi is fine." 

Shivayy nodded and hugged Dharna who consoled him while Ankit picked up Ruhan gently and said: "Kya hua h Ruhan ko?"  

(What happened to my Ruhan?)

Ruhan sniffs and says: "Bhua…" 

Ankit shakes his head and says while wiping his tears: "No mere baccha. Bhua thk h. Vo bss thkk kr sogyi h."  

(No, my dear. Bhua is fine. She just slept due to tiredness.)

Ruhan shakes his head and says: "M frse nhi krunga..."  

(I will not do that again…)

Ankit rubs his back and says: "Pehle rona bnd krega na mera prince?"  

(My prince will stop crying. Right?)

Ruhan nodded and said: "Fufaji, bhua ko humne gudgudi ki isiliye hua. Ruhan ab frse y nhi krega."  

(Fufaji, we tickled bhua that’s why it happened. Ruhan will not repeat it.)

Ankit smiles and says: "Mera Ruham prince smart boy h pr beta bhua ko gudgudi se nhi hua."  

(My Ruhan prince is a smart boy, but beta, Bua didn't get tickled.)

Ruhan: "Fr kyu hua?"  

(Then why didn't she?)

Ankit: "Beta bss bhua thkk gyi h na isiliye vo khud ko rest nhi deti. Jb vo uthengi ap unko dantna. Okay?"  

(Beta, Bua is just tired, that's why she isn't giving herself a rest. When she gets up, you scold her. Okay?)

Ruhan nodded and said: "Okay, Shiv bhaiya ap bhi dantna." 

(Okay, Shiv bhaiya, you scolded her too.)

Shivayy nodded and said: "Chlo hum sone chle tb tk?"  

(Okay, shall we go to sleep till then?)

Ruhan nodded and others smiled over their bond. Neetu and Dharna make them sleep in the room while others are waiting in the hall for them. Soon, both return and sit with them but the doorbell rings and Khushal says: "Ap log baitho, m dekhta hu." 

(You all sit, I will check.)

He opens the door and exclaims: "You two and here?" 

Rahul: "Kon h? Andr le aa."  

(Who is there? Bring them.)

Khushal gave space and said: "Come." 

Both enter and see them, Anshul stands up and moves toward them. Seeing this, Ankit says: "Anshul…" 

Anshul interrupts and says: "Don’t jiju. Not today." 

Ankit sighs in frustration but nodded. Anshul steps toward them and says: "Ab kyu aay ho?" 

(Now, why are you here?)

They were about to say something but Anshul interrupts and says: "I don’t want excuses for Yuvaan and Anish or should I call you Airan brothers?" 

Anish: "Bhaiya ek baar baat sunn lo."  

(Bhaiya, just listen once.)

Anshul sternly: "Kya sunu? Ki jb tum dono ko humare pass aana chahiye tha tb tum dono yaha se chle gyy?" 

(What should I hear? That when both of you were supposed to come to us, you both left from here?)

Yuvaan hugs Anshul and says: "Bhaiya, please bss ek baar sunn lo."  

(Brother, please just listen once.)

Ankit: "Anshul baithne de and baat sunn."

(Let Anshul sit and listen.)

Anshul nodded and said: "Agr reason valid nhi hua toh be ready hddiya tod dunga."

(If the reason isn't valid, then be ready, I’ll break your bones.)

Anish gulps and says to Yuvaan: " Bhai, m jau kya?"  

(Brother, should I go?)

Yuvaan glares at him who shut his mouth instantly. Both moves toward remaining siblings. Yuvaan moves toward Dharna and bends and takes blessing on which Dharna stands up and hugs him and says: "Beta, didi k pass hi aa jata." 

(Beta, at least you should have come to me.)

Yuvaan: "Maaf krdo didi."  

(Forgive me, didi.)

Dharna nodded and said: "Y mere husband h." 

(He is my husband.)

Yuvaan nodded and took the blessing of Ankit who stopped him in the middle and said while hugging him: "Itna krne ki need nhi h."  

(No need to do this much.)

Yuvaan nodded and moved toward Rahul and Khushal who said: "Baat mtt krna humse."  

(Don’t talk with us.)

Yuvaan chuckles and says: "Aree tum dono bhi gussa hone lge ab?"  

(Hey, now you two will also be mad?)

Hearing this Khushal and Rahul hug him and say: " Yrr, hum toh bestfriends th na?"  

(Yrr, we were best friends. Right?)

Yuvaan nodded and said: "Sorry." 

Khushal and Rahul nodded and said: " Don’t repeat." 

Yuvaan nodded and moved toward Neetu and says: "Ap Anshul bhaiya ki wife ho na?" 

(You are the wife of Anshul bhai, right?)

Neetu nodded on which Yuvaan took her blessings and said: "Sorry Bhabhi, shadi ma nhi aa paya."  

(Sorry Bhabhi, we were not able to attend your wedding.)

Neetu smiles warmly and says: " Koi baat nhi."

Yuvaan nodded and moved toward Anshul and said: "Bhaiya, janta hu apko bura lga but uss time bss hum yaha ki yado se thoda duur rehna chahte th. Hume pta tha ap log ho humare sath but dil shant nhi tha isiliye yaha se chle gyy."  

(Brother, I know you felt bad, but at that time we just wanted to stay a little away from the memories of this place. I knew you all were with me, but my heart wasn't calm, that's why I left here.)

Anshul nodded and said: "Samjhta hu but ek call bhi nhi kiya. Humne pura bchpan sath bitaya tha na Yuvaan. Mere papa and tumhare papa kitne acche friends th hum sb kitne sath khele h fr bhi ek call nhi?"  

(I understand, but you didn't even make a single call. We spent our entire childhood together, right Yuvaan? How good friends were my dad and your dad, how much we all played together, and yet not a single call?)

Hearing this Yuvaan shakes his head and says: "Don’t say like that bhaiya. Yaad krta tha apko but himmat nhi hoti thi pr ab m kahi nhi jaunga bina bole."  

(Don’t say that, brother. I used to miss you, but I didn't have the courage. But now I won't go anywhere without telling you.)

Anshul nodded and said: " Good."

Yuvaan nodded and looked toward Anish and said: " Tuje ni milna sbse?"  

(You don't want to meet everyone?)

Anish gulps nervously and says: "Ap mil liye na, ek hi baat h."  

(I did meet you, that’s all.)

Yuvaan raises his eyebrows and asks: "Kuch kiya h tune?"  

(Did you do something?)

Before Anish could say something, Anshul says: "Aree y kyu milega. Y toh bda hogya h but hume yaad h ki last time apne kya hrkt ki thi." 

(Oh, why would you meet? You have grown up, but we still remember what you did last time.)

Anish takes a few steps back and says: "Bhaiya, ab toh uss baat ko 10 saal ho gyy."  

(Brother, it’s been 10 years since that thing happened.)

Dharna stands up and walks toward him and says: "Toh kya hua beta? Yaad ab bhi h ki kese humari ice-cream ma namak milaya tha apne."  

(So, what, son? We still remember how you put salt in our ice cream.)

Hearing this, Neetu and Ankit laugh aloud while Khushal and Rahul also move toward him and say: "So, kya kiya jayy?"

(So, what should we do?)

Anish: "Maaf kr diya jayy."  

(You may forgive me.)

Hearing this Anshul, Dharna, Rahul and Khushal slap his head lightly and say: "Chl aa humare sath." 

(Come on, join us.)

Anish nodded and hugged them. Then, moves toward Neetu and takes her blessings and says: "Bhabhi, agr Anshul bhai pr prank krna ho toh contact me." 

(Bhabhi, if you want to prank Anshul bhai, then contact me.)

Hearing this, all laugh while Anshul says: "Yaha aa tu nalayak. M krvata hu prank."  

(Come here, you rascal. I'll get you pranked.)

Anish laughs and moves toward Ankit and takes his blessing who hugs him and says: "Itna aged nhi hu yrr."

(I'm not that old, yrr.)

Anish chuckles and says: "Okok jiju." 

Dharna: "Okay, so chlo ab baitho and then tum dono btao kese aana hua aaj."  

(Okay, so come on, sit down, and then you both tell how you come today.)

Hearing this, Anish and Yuvaan looked at each other and then nodded. Yuvaan sits beside Anshul and says: "Bhaiya, puri baat sunoge na?"  

(Brother, will you listen to the whole thing?)

Anshul nodded and said: " Hnn bol beta." 

Yuvaan nodded and said: "Pehle y btao Takshvi kaha h?"  

(Firstly, tell me. Where is Takshvi?)

Hearing this, silence spread on which Anish says: "Kya hua?"   

(What happened?)

Ankit clears his throat and says: "She is sleeping."

Yuvaan nodded and said: "Bhaiya, m nhi janta ki apko y chiz kese explain kru."  

(Bhaiya, I don’t know how to express this thing to you.)

Anshul: "Beta, aaram se bol."  

(Beta, tell me calmly.)

Yuvaan nodded and said: "M takshvi se pyar krta hu bhaiya… Please pehle meri baat sunn lijiye fr kuch kehna. M usko jb hum chote th tbse psnd krta hu but tb muje knowledge nhi thi but jb Punjab gya and usko bhul nhi paya tb ehsas hua ki m usse pyar krta hu, even m janta hu ki usko maybe m yaad nhi hounga and sirf itna nhi last month m ek deal k silsile ma yaha aaya tha and usko dekha but vo pehle jesi rhi hi nhi."  

(I love Takshvi, brother… Please listen to me first before saying anything. I have liked her since we were kids, but back then I didn’t have the awareness. But when I went to Punjab and couldn’t forget her, I realized that I love her. Even though I know that she might not remember me, and that’s not all—last month, I came here regarding a deal and saw her, but she is no longer the same as before.)

Anshul listens to everything and then instantly looks down and his tears start falling on which Yuvaan gets worried and says: "Bhai, kya hua? Kuch glt kaha mene, muje maaf kr do. Please aap shant ho jao. Bhabhi ap kaho na…"  

(Brother, what happened? Did I say something wrong? Forgive me. Please calm down. Bhabhi, you say something…)

Neetu moves toward Anshul and says: "Anshul, shant ho jao…" 

Anshul shakes his head and throws himself in Yuvaan’s arms and says: "Muje...m..maaf krde beta…"  

(Forgive me… son…)

Yuvaan gets confused and says: "Kya hua h bhai?"  

(What happened, brother?)

Anshul wipes his tears and says: "Yuvaan muje tumhare pyar krne se koi dikkat nhi h but inn 8 saalo ma bht kuch ho chuka h."  

(Yuvaan, I have no problem with you loving her, but a lot has happened in these 8 years.)

Yuvaan’s heartbeat increases hearing this and says: "Bhai, kya hua h? V... vo thk toh h na?"  

(Bhai, what happened? Is she okay?)

Anshul shakes his head and says: "Nhi beta, vo thk nhi h. Humne Takshvi ko kho diya Yuvaan. Vo chup rehti h beta bss. Beta Takshvi itni sensitive ldki thi ki koi usko kuch keh de toh rone lgti thi but ab usko uski vo family kitna glt bolti h fr bhi vo chup rehti h. And you will be surprised beta ki vo ldki panic attacks k liye pills leti h. And sirf itna hi nhi, bht kuch hua h pr m vo sb nhi bol skta kyunki vo sb Takshvi ka right h tumhe btane ka. Pr itna jauru kahunga beta ki ab vo kehle ki trh open nhi h, usko touch krne tk se pehle m 10 baar sochta hu because she flinches over anyone’s touch."  

(No, son, she’s not okay. Our Takshvi is lost, Yuvaan. She just stays quiet. Son, Takshvi was such a sensitive girl that if anyone said anything to her, she would start crying. But now, no matter how wrongly her family talks to her, she remains silent. And you will be surprised, son, she takes pills for panic attacks. And that’s not all, a lot has happened, but I can’t tell you everything because that’s Takshvi’s right to share. But one thing I must say, son, now she’s not open like before. I think ten times before touching her because she flinches at anyone’s touch.)

Hearing this, Yuvaan bursts into cries and hugs Anish tightly who is already controlling is own pain but decides to stay strong for his elder brother and says: "B..bhai, hum h na. Sb thk krenge, shant ho jao."  

(B..brother, we are here, everything will be fine, calm down.)

Yuvaan shakes his head and says: "Chote mene kaha tha na kl ki usko kuch hua h pr muje itna nhi lga tha. Kese sb thk hoga. Vo toh ab chup rehti h yrr..."  

(Chote, I told you yesterday something happened to her, but I didn’t realize it would be this bad. How will everything be okay? She just stays quiet now...)

Anish rubs his back and says: "Bhai, unhe hum sb thk krenge haina? Ap strong rhoge unke liye haina?"  

(Brother, we will make sure she’s fine, right? You’ll be strong for her, won’t you?)

Yuvaan nodded like a child and said: "Hnn, m thk krunga usko."  

(Yes, I will make her okay.)

He moves toward Anshul and says: "Bhai, vo kb uthegi?" 

(Bhai, when will she wake up?)

Ankit says before Anshul could speak: "Beta, mene injection diya h kuch hours ma uthegi vo."  

(Beta, I have given her an injection. She will wake up after a few hours.)

Hearing this, Anish asks: "Jiju injection kyu and apne kyu diya?"  

(Jiju, why injection? And why did you give her?)

Ankit: "I am a doctor beta and about injection, she was having difficulty in breathing that’s why I had to give her." 

Hearing this Yuvaan asks: "Pr jiju vo toh bht drti h, fr kese?" 

(But jiju, she is scared of it. Then how?)

Ankit smiles sadly: "Beta, ab nhi drti. Even vo apne emotions chupati h sirf."  

(Son, she’s not afraid anymore. Even she just hides her emotions.)

Hearing this, Anish says: "Don’t worry jiju. I am also a doctor and now I will take care of her."  

(Don’t worry, jiju. I am also a doctor, and now I will take care of her.)

Ankit nodded and said: "Okay but be careful." 

Anish nodded and Yuvaan said: "But bhai, uncle aunty ko kese kahenge y sb?"

(But brother, how will we tell uncle and aunty all this?)

Anshul’s eyes turned red in rage and says: "Beta, ab tk bht chup rha m but ab aur nhi. Vo log Takshvi k liye ldka dhundh rhe h and mujse bhi kaha ki koi nazar ma ho toh btau and now I will give your bio data to them and let this be arranged marriage but firstly I want a promise from you." 

(Son, I stayed quiet till now, but not anymore. They are looking for a boy for Takshvi and also told me to inform them if I notice someone suitable, and now I will give your bio data to them and let this be an arranged marriage, but first I want a promise from you.)

Yuvaan nodded and said: "Yes bhaiya, kahiye."  

(Yes bhaiya, speak up.)

Anshul: "Tum meri bhn ko hamesha khush rkhoge. Mene uski vo his kitne salo se nhi suni h, m usko khush dekhna chahta hu, usko free dekhna chahta hu. Promise kro ki meri Takshvi muje lauta doge…" 

(You will always keep my sister happy. I haven’t heard that side of her for so many years, I want to see her happy, I want to see her free. Promise that you will bring my Takshvi back to me…)

Yuvaan nodded and said: "I promise bhaiya." 

Anshul nodded and before he could say something, Ruhan’s voice came who is holding Shivayy’s hand: "Kya kr rhe ho sb?"  

(What are you guys doing?)

Anshul smiles and walks toward them with Ankit, and both pick their child in arms and says: "So, uth gyy dono?" 

(So, you both woke up.)

Ruhan nodded and said: "Hnn, ab bhuk lgi h." 

(Hnn, now we are hungry.)

Anish pulls out chocolate and says: "Chocolate khaoge?"  

(Wanna eat chocolate?)

Ruhan looks at him and then Yuvaan says: "Pr m apko ni janta."  

(But I don’t know you.)

Yuvaan smiles and says: "Beta, I am Yuvaan and he is my brother Anish." 

Ruhan nodded and then said to Anshul: "Papa, ap inko jante ho?"  

(Papa, do you know them?)

Anshul nodded and said: "Yes, my Ruhan, they both are my friends." 

Ruhan gets confused and says: "Pr ap toh bht bde ho inhe."  

(But you are older than them.)

Anish smirks and says: "Beta, Yuvaan bhai will be your fufaji."

Ruhan ’s eyes widen and says: "Pr fufaji toh Ankit fufaji h na?"  

(But that is Ankit fufaji.)

Anish was about to say something, but Yuvaan says while glaring Anish: " No beta, aisa kuch nhi h abhi. Hum Khushal and Rahul k best friends h isiliye Anshul bhaiya bhi hume friends mante h."  

(No beta, there’s nothing like that right now. We are Khushal and Rahul's best friends, that’s why Anshul bhaiya also considers us friends.)

Ruhan nodded and took chocolate from Anish’s hand and said: "M apko yuvi bulau? And apko Ani?"  

(Should I call you Yuvi? And you Ani?)

Hearing this both nodded and said: "Bilkul."  (Sure.)

Ruhan nodded and said: "Yuvi ap muje jyada psnd ayy, y Ani thoda ajeeb h."  

(Yuvi, I like you more, and Ani is a little weird.)

Hearing this all starts laughing while Anish says: "Accha beta, mujse chocolate lii and ab m ajeeb hu?" 

(Okay beta, you took chocolate from me and now I’m weird?)

Ruhan nodded and said: "Shiv bhaiya, ap khaoge?"  

(Shiv bhaiya, will you eat it?)

Shivayy shakes his head and says: "Takshvi masi dantengi."  

(Takshvi masi will scold me.)

Hearing this, Ruhan’s eyes widen and quickly return chocolate to Anish and say: "Papa, jldi chlo face wash krna h. Bhua ko pta chla toh baat ni krengi."  

(Papa, let’s go quickly, I need to wash my face. If Bhua finds out, she won’t talk to me)

Anshul chuckles and says: "Nhi nhi, ab toh m Takshvi ko bolunga…"  

(I will tell Takshvi…)

Hearing this, Ruhan whined: "Mummmaaaa…" 

Neetu chuckles and says: "Accha accha, aao." 

Ruhan leaves with Neetu while Yuvaan says: "Damn, Takshvi na bccho ko bhi draya hua h."  

(Damn, Takshvi is even scaring the kids.)

Shivayy glares at him and says: "Meri masi k liye kuch mtt kehna. Vo best h."  

(Don’t say anything about my masi. She’s the best.)

Hearing this, Yuvaan and Anish smiled at his protectiveness and nodded.

Yuvaan moves toward him and says: "Beta, I promise apki masi se kuch nhi kahunga."  

(Son, I promise I won’t say anything to your masi.)

Shivayy nodded and soon, Ruhan returned and Yuvaan said: "Okay bhaiya, ab hum chlte h. Ap uske papa se baat kr lena, baki m sambhal lunga."  

(Okay brother, now let's go. You talk to her dad; I’ll handle the rest.)

Anshul nodded and said: "Okay." 

Then, both leave from there and after reaching their Villa.  While, Anshul sits on the couch and says: "Abhi Takshvi ko iss bare ma koi kuch nhi btaega. I will talk with her." 

(Nobody will tell Takshvi about this right now. I will talk with her.)

All nodded but Shivayy asks: "Mamu, kya nhi btana h?"  

(Mamu, what shouldn’t I tell?)

Anshul smiles and says: "Come here." 

Shivayy nodded and moved toward him while Ruhan also joined him on which Anshul said: "Abhi ap dono Yuvi and Ani milkr gyy h na?"  

(You guys just met Yuvi and Avi, right?)

Both nodded and Anshul said: "Y apko secret rkhna h, okay?"  

(So, you guys have to keep it secret. Okay?)

Both nodded and said: "Okay." 

Soon, they heard the door opening voice on which Anshul’s jaw clenched while others just prayed for Takshvi now. Takshvi enters the living room while Ankit helps her to sit and asks: "All good, beta?"

Takshvi nodded and said: "I am fine jiju." 

Ankit nodded while Takshvi’s eyes fell on Shivayy and Ruhan who was ignoring her on which she smiled and said: "Kya hua, gussa ho?" 

(What happened, are you guys angry?)

Both nodded cutely on which Takshvi chuckles and says: "Mere pass ni aoge?" 

(Will you not come to me?)

Ruhan and Shivayy look at each other and then say: "Nhi." 

Takshvi acted sad and said: "Ohh!!! Pr mene socha tha m bimar hu toh muje sad ni kroge ap."  

(Ohh!!! But I thought that I am not well, so you will not make me sad.)

Shivayy thinks for a while and says: " Ruhan, chl humari kisi ko nhi sochni toh kya hua. Hum sochenge."  

(Ruhan, come. If someone is not thinking about us then what happened. We will care about them.)

Ruhan nodded and said: "Hnn bhaiya." 

And then, both move toward her and hug her who caresses their back and says: "Maaf krdo na please."

(Please, forgive me…)

Ruhan pouted and said: "Apne kyu kiya itna sara work?" 

(Why did you do so much work?)

Shivayy nodded and said: "Hnn, papa na btaya ki apko rest ki need h."

(Hnn, papa told me that you need rest.)

Takshvi looks toward Ankit who nodded on which Takshvi says: "Accha, okay. Ab m dhyan rkhungi. Ab toh gussa mtt kro." 

(Okay, okay. Now I will take care. Now don’t get angry.)

Ruhan and Shivayy nodded and said: "Last chance de rhe h hum."  

(We are giving you the last chance.)

Takshvi nodded and said: "So, dinner kre?" 

(So, shall we have dinner?)

Ruhan nodded but Anshul interrupted: "Neetu, bccho ko le jao. And aap sb bhi dining area ma wait kro. Muje Takshvi se baat krni h."  

(Neetu, take the kids. And you all also wait in the dining area. I need to talk to Takshvi.)

Takshvi opens her mouth to say something but one look from Anshul and she turns silent. All leaves from there while Anshul says: "I am in your room. Be there within 1 minute." 

Takshvi nodded and Anshul left from there. She turns but sees that Rahul is standing there with cross arms with Khushal on which she sighs and says: " Kya hua?"

Khushal walks toward her: "Nhi bolegi aaj bhi? " 

(You will not speak today either, right?)

Takshvi: "Khushal, I have nothing to say."

Rahul chuckles bitterly and says: "Khushal?? Seriously?? Y toh khushi tha na Takshvi. And m toh Fake degree vala tha na? Humne kya kiya h Takshvi, hume kis chiz ki saza mil rhi h? Bhn, m janta hu kuch hua h pr hua kya h beta? Muje toh bta kumsekum, jo bndi itna bolti thi, muje irritate krti thi vo ab bolna chodo dekhti bhi nhi h dhng se. Hua kya h?"  

(Khushal?? Seriously?? He was khushi, wasn’t he, Takshvi? And I was the one with the fake degree, right? What have we done, Takshvi, what are we being punished for? Sister, I know something happened, but what exactly happened, dear? At least tell me, the girl who used to talk so much and used to irritate me, now doesn't even speak properly. What happened?)

Takshvi stayed silent on which Khushal says: "Takshvi, m force nhi krunga but jb lge ki mn hlka krna h. I am here." 

(Takshvi, I won’t force you, but whenever you feel like talking, I am here.)

Takshvi nodded and with this Rahul and Khushal left toward the dining area. Takshvi takes deep breath and walks toward the room and enters while closing the door behind. Seeing her there, Anshul walks toward her and says: "Bolna h kuch?" 

(Wanna speak something?)

Takshvi: "Pucho kya janna chahte ho."  

(Ask, whatever you want to know.)

Anshul: "Kese bigadi tbiyt?"  

(How you got ill?)

Takshvi: "Bss breathe manage nhi hui."  

(Can’t be able to manage breath.)

Anshul: "And those pills?"

Takshvi looks away and says: "It’s nothing." 

Anshul holds her chin and says: "Truth, I want truth." 

Takshvi: "Kuch nhi h bhaiya. Sb thk h bss emergency k liye rkhi h."  

(Everything is fine, that’s for emergencies.)

Anshul chuckles bitterly and says: "Call aya tha muje, rishta dhundh rhe tere liye."  

(I got a call. They are seeing the groom for you.) 

Takshvi nodded and said: "I know."

Anshul: "Are you ready for this?" 

Takshvi nodded and said: "Whatever their decision will be, I will accept it."

Anshul says calmly without any emotion: "The moment I get the whole truth about this behavior; I will make sure that you will regret these cold replies. Till then, take rest because no one I repeat no will be able to save you from me."

Saying this, he leaves the room with a loud thud of door while Takshvi walks toward the balcony and says: "I will be strong dadu. I know they are hurt but I can’t give my heart another chance to trust." 

Saying this she walks toward the dining table and all does their dinner. While, In Airan Villa both brothers enter and move toward their rooms and after getting comfortable comes in the dining area. Shambhu serves food and says: "Beta, kuch aur khana h toh btao." 

(Son, if you want to eat something else, let me know.)

Yuvaan: "Nhi uncle, y sb thk h. Ap sb butlers and guards ko keh do ki vo bhi kha le."  

(No uncle, everything is fine. You all tell the butlers and guards to eat as well.)

Anish also added: "Yes uncle, hum late ho jate h kaam se toh ap log time se kha liya kijiye." 

(Yes uncle, if we get late from work, you people should eat on time.)

Shambhu nodded and said: "Thk h beta, kuch chahiye ho toh bula lena."  

(Okay, but call me if you need something.)

Yuvaan nodded and soon Shambhu left. Seeing this, Anish says: "Bhai, ab kya krna h?" 

(Bhai, what do we do now?)

Yuvaan: "Dekhte h chote but agr uski family bhi uski iss halat ki zimmedar h toh I will not spare any single person."  

(We'll see, chote, but if his family is also responsible for his condition, I will not spare a single person.)

Anish’s jaw is clenched and says: "Yes bhai, but we have to be patient with her now." 

Yuvaan nodded and said: "Hmm, jitna ab tk btaya bhaiya and jiju na uss hisab se bht kuch hua h. Vrna tu bhi janta h vo kitna bolti thi."  

(Hmm, as much as bhaiya and jiju have told me till now, a lot has happened according to that. Otherwise, you also know how much she used to talk.)

Anish nodded and said: "Koi baat nhi bhai. Hum dono h na, ek baar humare pass aa jayy vo hum unhe thk krenge." 

(It's okay brother. We are both here, once she comes to us, we will set things right.)

Yuvaan nodded and soon, both completed their dinner and went to sleep.
