In India..

"Where are you Raavi? I'm waiting for you here in the VIP lounge" Anurag said in the phone call.

" Relax. I'm with my friend Khanak, I'll meet you in the hotel" Raavi said.

" What!? You can't do this to me. I've been waiting for you since very long" Anurag said.

" Haan ok ok. I'm sorry. " She said and disconnected the call.

In the hotel…

" Raavi, you Freshen up, and then we'll go for lunch." Khanak said entering the hotel room.

"No, no, Khanak, I'll have lunch with Anurag; he's coming to pick me up." Raavi said sitting on the couch.

" oh, so.. it's  a date huh.." khanak asked.

"Yes, a group date with his friends as well." Raavi said making a weird face.

" Group date!?" khanak exclaimed.

" Yes . Aahan,  Maanav and one of his friends are coming, hence the group date." Raavi said.

 "Oh, Aahan is coming too, and Maanav as well. Alright then, I'll join you too." Khanak said.

"I don't want your friends to mind." Raavi said.

" don't  worry, they won't . And also.. it's  just lunch and nothing more" Khanak said.

" okay then." Raavi said and just then, her phone started ringing.

It's  Anurag, I think he's  here.

" Just wait a minute  , we're  coming"  Raavi said picking up his call.

" Aye, wait. " Anurag said.

" What, why?" Raavi asked.

"You said to pick you up from the hotel. Madam, who will provide the address?" Anurag said in a taunting voice.

" oh shit, I forgot. But, don't  you have any sense? Couldn't you ask for the address yourself?" Raavi said.

" Ok ok, Neither your fault nor mine, now tell me the address already." Anurag said.

" yeah, it's Grand Hyatt " she said.

" oh wow, we're sharing the same location " Anurag said.

" What? You're  staying here too?" Raavi asked.

" Yeah, wait I'm  coming, let's  have Lunch there only," Anurag said.

" Okay" Raavi said.

Call disconnected.

On the pool side,

Khanak and Raavi were waiting for the boys.

" Hello girls, " Maanav said with a charming  smile.

" hello Maanav, " Raavi said hugging him.

"Who is this girl? Is she your friend? do I know about her?" Maanav whispered in her ears .

" I guess , yeah" Raavi said.

She looked at khanak and then looked at Maanav, and said, " let them come, then I'll  introduce you all at once".

" Aapne yaad kia or hm chale aaye " Anurag hugged her from the backside and placed a kiss on her cheek, Raavi left her seat to hug him back. They were about to kiss each other but got interrupted by a heavy cold voice.

" you both Layla Majnu stop this. First, tell me where my Ruhi is" said Aahan.

" Bhai, I'm  meeting her almost after 15 days, let me at least see her properly " Anurag said making faces.

" You got your entire life for that. But if you don't tell me where my wife is right now, I might steal your remaining life as well." Aahan said in his Cold voice.

Sensing the coldness of the situation, Khanak removed her sunglasses and extended her hand to Aahan.

" Hii" she said.

Aahan looked at her for a slight second and said, " I don't know you".

" How rude Aahan?" Khanak said, she was taking her hand back but Maanav held it.

" hey!! Myself Maanav, Maanav Rajput. Youngest, hottest and most charming son of Rajput's " maanav said shaking their hands.

" I know." She said with a smile and then looked at Aahan, " Seekho kuch apne chote bhai se, such an egoistic person, huh".

( Learn something from your younger brother)

" Your introduction please" Maanav asked.

" aann, Let me introduce you guys." Raavi said.

" Okay" khanak said.

" okay so, He's Anurag, my dramebaaz husband," she said holding Anurag's  arm, " and I guess you already know Aahan and Maanav" she gestured towards both of them.

" Hi Anurag and hi again, Aahan and maanav" khanak said, with a smile, Anurag shook his hand with her .

" And guys, she's  khanak Bajaj, our friend, who came to India, just for Ruhan" Raavi said, making a hashtag with her fingers.

" Ruhan?" Anurag asked.

" Are idiot, Ruhi and Aahan, Ruhan." Raavi said.

Anurag hummed.

" Wait wait  , are you the one I'm  thinking you are" Maanav said.

" depends on what you're  thinking " Khanak said.

" The runaway daughter of Bajaj's " Maanav whispered and then chuckled.

" Shut up you idiot, I never ran. They hid my identity " she said.

" what do you know about Ruhi?" Aahan interrupted them in between.

" I'll  tell you but first, you tell me. What have you done to yourself, red eyes, dark circles, bearded face, these scratches, oh my god Aahan, I thought that only Ruhi was suffering but now that I'm  looking at you, I feel like you are suffering more than her ." Khanak said.

" Why the hell are you guys not telling me about my wife? Just tell me where she is, that's  all I'm  asking." Aahan said and banged his hand on the table.

" What is this behavior Aahan, Tumhari inhi harkaton  or gusse ke wajah se aaj Ruhi nahi hai tumhare saath" Raavi said .

" You wanna know where your wife is, fine, I'll  tell you" khanak said and took his phone, " just texted you the address " she said and left from there.

Aahan checked his phone, and found the message sent by Khanak.

" Where is she?" Anurag asked.

" London. I'm  leaving now." Aahan said.

" Are you mad? Now? Just wait until tomorrow, I'll  come with you" Anurag said.

" Me too." Maanav said.

Aahan looked at their faces, which held different expressions . After thinking for a while , he said " okay " and went inside.

" Thank god he's  convinced "  Raavi sighed.

" I don't  think so " Anurag and maanav said together.

" I'll  go and see " Maanav said and went after him .

Meanwhile …

Instead of Going inside the hotel room, Aahan left for the airport.

" hello, Ishaan. I need your jet" He said calling Ishaan.

" All yours" Ishaan said.

" Thanks" Aahan said and disconnected the call.

I'm  coming Ruhi, I'll  apologize and make amends for everything I did to you, I'm  coming. He said to himself.

In London…

Ruhi was sitting at a restaurant,  she was looking at the decorated table with astonishment. Rubal brought her to this place for a meal.

" What is all this Rubal?" she asked.

" Oh, it's  just some decoration to make our meal more merrier " he said.

" Okay but," Ruhi said.

" Aah, not but . just enjoy your meal, it's all of your favourite dishes" Rubal said.

" Thanks." Ruhi said with a smile and started eating.

After their meal, they both went back to the hotel, because Ruhi was not feeling well.

In the hotel room…

Ruhi came out of the bathroom, holding her stomach she went near the balcony.

Why am I feeling so anxious. Why do I feel like something bad is about to happen.

She was lost in her thoughts when Rhea shook her shoulder, bringing her out of the stance.

" you alright? Where are you lost." Rhea asked.

" yeah I'm  alright, Just a bit of a stomachache and nothing more. " she said.

" periods?" Rhea asked.

" Naah. I think I ate extra . And periods .." Ruhi stopped in between.

" periods what?" Rhea asked.

" Rhea, what's the date today?" Ruhi asked.

" It's the 23rd, " Raavi said.

" Damn. I'm  5 days late" She said squinting her eyes.

" but you're  never late" Rhea said looking at her.

" does that mean-----" Ruhi covered her mouth with her hands , and ran to the bathroom.

After 15 minutes…

" you need to take the test" Rhea said and handed her a pregnancy test kit.

" but, what if I am really pregnant" Ruhi said.

" take the test first, then we'll see" Raavi said pushing her inside the bathroom.

After that, she called rubal.

" What now? Why are you calling like freaks " Rhea said, expressing her anger.

" Aahan is here. Kya karna hai uska" Rubal asked.

" what? He's here. What is he doing here?"  Rhea asked.

" I'm not answerable to that question, ask your beloved friend Raavi" Rubal said taunting him.

" Oh god, this Raavi. I should have stopped her. Fuck."  Rhea slammed her hand in the wall.

Rubal laughed on the other side .

" Shut up. And tell me,Where is this Aahan?" Rhea asked.

" On his way to our hotel, he must be reaching by now" Rubal said.

" kill him." Rhea said and disconnected the call.

She was standing in the balcony, gazing at the running vehicles  in the road.

Her eyes were searching for a particular face, when she saw a car, stopping at the other side of the road. It was Aahan who got out of the car . His face held a different happiness.

 One, two, three and boom. A sinister grin took over her lips when she finished her counting.

" Rhea, I don't feel good. My heart  is racing so fast." Ruhi said walking towards her.

" What happened sweetheart? What's the result?" Rhea asked.

" Positive" Ruhi said, showing her the result.

Rhea looked at Ruhi's  face for a minute " come on, let's  go now" she said pulling Ruhi.

" aree, but where?" Ruhi asked .

" Hospital, for abortion" Rhea said.

" Abortion!?" Ruhi screamed.

" Yes abortion" Rhea said.

" no" Ruhi said.

" Paagal hai tu, is paap ko palegi" Rhea said.

( Are you mad, you wanna carry this sin)

" paap? Ye to masoom hai Rhea. It's  a gift from god" Ruhi said caressing her tummy.

" Ye paap hai paap, ek rape ki nishani, isse jyada kuch bhi nahi. Iss baache ko rakh ke tu apne sir pe zindagi bhar ka kalank laga legi" Rhea shouted.

(This is a sin, a symbol of rape, nothing worse than this. Keeping this child, you will carry a lifelong stain on your head.)

" Shut up, just shut up Rhea. I won't  abort this baby, I can't. Because …" Ruhi said.

" Because!?.. what did you do?" Rhea asked.

10 minutes earlier…

Bas kuch pal ka intizar, tumhara Aahan tumhe manane aa raha hai Ruhi. Aahan said to himself.

Just then, his phone started ringing. His eyelids widened looking at the name flashing on the phone screen.

He quickly picked up the phone and " hello , biwi ji" he said in his unusual calm voice.

" Aahan, I'm  pregnant " Ruhi said .

" what!!?.. really " Aahan said with surprise.

" Yes Aahan, we're  going to become parents and I don't  want to raise our baby without his father" Ruhi said crying.

" I'm coming, just 5 minutes and I'll  be in front of you . Wait for me , biwi ji" Aahan said.

Disconnecting Ruhi's call, Aahan began to dance with joy. Today, he couldn't contain his happiness—first, he got his Ruhi back , and now their child is about to enter their world.

" Stop the car" he said to the driver.

" but sir, we can take the U turn ahead" Driver said.

" no worries, I'll  cross the road " Aahan said  stepping out.

He was crossing the road when a speeding car, breaking the signal, rushed towards him, and hit him.

Everything happened so suddenly that no one around got a moment to think, after a silence of 2 minutes, everyone rushed towards Aahan,who was laying on the side of the road.

" Ruhi." That's  the last word he said before closing his eyes.

In the hotel room…

" what did you do Ruhi? How can you do that? That man, he raped you"  Rhea said shaking Ruhi through her shoulder.

" I love him." Ruhi screamed.

" Love!?" Rhea said getting astonished.

" Yes. After all this and staying away from him, I realized that I love him, I feel this bond, it's  like some special connection. How do I explain??.. I feel like I have known him my entire life" Ruhi said.

" Stop day dreaming ruhi, come back to reality" Rhea said.

" it's  not a dream Rhea, I know what he did to me was wrong, but he's  my husband and I love him. You know , when I saw those red lines, I was supper happy, all I wanted was to hug him and dance in his arms and its not a delusion, my feelings are real, this baby is real, every fucking thing related to him is real.He deserves a second chance and I'm  ready to give him that" Ruhi said is a strict tone.

" Second chance na, fine. You said he's  coming now, right..? " Rhea asked.

" Yes. He promised me. He will be reaching anytime soon." Ruhi said, her eyes shining .

" and If he didn't  come.. you'll  think about abortion.." rhea said.

" No" Ruhi said in a cold voice.

" Ugh. Ruhi, I'm not your enemy. I'm  your bestfriend ,I just want you to be happy and move on. Maybe, fulfill  your ambitions " Rhea said.

" I know, but I'll  keep this baby, it's  mine too" Ruhi said .

" Okay , fine. Let's  wait for you Aahan now" Rhea said with a smile and hugged her.
