After an hour, Dev notice her. He didn’t know that she is Aahana. But he understands her duty to help her. He was shocked when she show Ahana. “ Omg…, help!!help!!”, he shouted.
Roy heard his voice who is at main door. He run towards him for help.
“What happen?”, he asked. “Oh my God!! It should not be done”, he continue when he show Aahana. He started to rub her palm and asked Dev to rug her foot.
Meanwhile, Anu and Aarush also reached there.
“What’s wrong men?”, Aarush asked.
“Come here, Aarush. Rub her palm. I need to inform Nikhil. And you Anu, check her beg for medicine.”, Roy ordered.
“Ok!! I think we should call for medical help.”, Anu said while searching in beg. She notices that Dev is shivering badly.
“Nikhil is her doctor. He knows better to what to do.”, Roy said.
“How you know that?”, Aarush asked.
“Stop it, men! It’s not a matter of discussion now. Her health is important. Focus on it.”, Dev shouted.
“Look, Roy!! Are you looking for this one?”, Anu handed a packet of medicine to him.
“Ya, same. Thank God”, Roy take a breath of relief. He take off a pill and give it to Aahana.
“we need to take her to city hospital. Nikhil will reached there shortly.”, Roy said.
Dev run toward the house, “ Momo, mom…, where is the key?”, he is shouting.
“What happens? You looked tensed.”, manan asked.
“We don’t have time dear. We need to take her hospital as soon as possible.”, Dev said.
“Whom?”,
“Aahana.”,
“What?” Manan was shocked.
“Yes! Please come fast.”, Dev requested.
“Oh my God! Let’s go.”, he joined Dev.
“I think we should not wait for the Ambulance. We can reach the hospital earlier with a car.”, Dev suggested.
“Yes, you are right.”, Roy agreed.
“Manan you drive. Your driving is fast.”, Anu said. she knows that Dev is not in a state of driving now.
Aksha is standing nearby. She is angry with her. But she has feelings too. She feels sorry for her best friend. Her mind rewind’s the few minutes before the conversation with her. She is praying for her recovery soon.
“Nikhil is already at a city hospital when Roy and Dev reached with Aahana. Anu, Aarush, and aksha are in another car. Mikhail already set up everything for her.
“How it’s happening? Do you have any idea?”, Nikhil asked.
“No, when I see her, she fell on the ground unconsciously.”, Dev said.
“Ok!! Let me assess her. You stay her only”, Nikhil said and takes Aahana inside the assessment room.
No matter how much we are angry with someone, we can’t see them in pain the person is closed to us for a once in a life. Any anger, any hurt, any pain, can’t vanish our love for them.
vanish our love for them.
“Rishi is staring at Maher who is busy in some rituals at the temple. Her cell phone is disturbing her again and again. Rishi observes everything. Finally, he decides to ask directly, what is bothering her?
“It’s a kind of harmony na.”, Maher asked. She seat beside him. They were feeding fishes.
“Ya.., you are done with your rituals?”, Rishi asked.
“Yup.”, She answered. Thnx for your company.
“Uhhhh… mention not. It’s my pleasure mam. Anything for you.”, Manan said. They both laughed. “ can we go now?”, he continues.
“If you don’t mind. Can we seat hear for more? I want some to spend some time here.”, she requested.
“Sure.., I don’t mind”, Manan agreed.
Again her phone rang, again she disconnect the call and switched off. Manan notices that.
“You still trust me?”, Manan asked.
“hh…., sorry…, what?”, she said.she didn’t expect this question from him.
“You trust me or not? Simple. Say yes or no.”, he clarifies.
“Yes, of course. Dear”, she said.
“Then why are you behaving like a stranger?”, he questioned again.
“What? No, seat. You misunderstood me.”, she said.
“Stop acting. You know that you are the worst actor.” He said.
“Hahahaha… good joke.”, she replied.
“Don’t try to ignore my question. Tell me.what is bothering you.”, finally he asked.
“No, nothing like that. Trust me”, she said.
“ Who is troubling you on calls?”, he asked.
“No one. Just company calls”, she said. She refuses to maintain eye contact.
“See…, I hope you will not take me wrong. But let me know, is everything is normal with your married life?” he asked.
“hhh..uhhhh…”, she managed to say. Yes! Everything is alright. In fact, he is so good man. He takes care of me.
“Then why are you not wear mangalsutra? Why you do not wear indoor? You like it to wear most right?”, he asked.
“Ohhh.., you are overthinking. Nothing is like that. I don’t like to wear it now. So I didn’t.”
“Uhhh.., I can’t believe it. I know you more than you, still”, he said.
“More than anyone else”, she completed.
Rishi's eyes wide. What is this? Is she still love him. Whatever but it’s confirm that problem is related to her married life only.
He turns to her and takes her hands in his to support her”, Listen, says whatever is troubling you. Tell me everything. Don’t worry I will never judge you. You can trust me. You deserve to be happy dear. Your face is smiling but you are not happy. I can feel that.”,
It’s become hard to control her tears for Maher. She said her long story in short. “Nothing is fine in my life. Nothing is well in my married life. I am not leaving with my husband. I left him. He beats me, he abused me. He tortured me. So, I left him. He beats me in front of my child. I don’t want to spoil my child’s childhood. So, I decided to file a divorce.”
“Omg.., so, sorry to hear that dear. You suffered a lot.” Manan doesn’t have enough words to say anything.
“you not need to be sorry. My bed fortune.”, she said.
“You have a child?”, he asked.
“Yes, I have a girl child. She is turning three soon.”, she said.
“Congratulation.”, he said.
“Thnx. But I don’t know. I am able to give a good future or not?”, she said.
“Means?”, he asked.
“I field a divorce and custody of her. For her custody I have to prove that I am capable to raise her, in court.”, she said.
“You not need to prove that, you are capable already, dear.”, he said.
“Court will not believe in emotions. It’s asking for practical.”, she explained.
“My husband gives statement like, the single mother can’t raise a child.”, she said.
“Useless fellow”, he said. So, what you will do now?”
“Don’t know. Just pray and hope.”, she said.
Maher thinks for a while and said. “ don’t worry I will give your daughter’s custody to you. I promised.”
“What? How? You do not need to risk yourself. I don’t want to put you in court matter”, she said.
“Don’t worry dear. It’s on me. Just wait and watch.”, he giggled. Your happy days are started now. Enjoy.
Rishi's mobile vibrated. He received the call.

“What happens?”, Maher asked.
“Aahana is serious. Everyone is at the civil hospital. We have to go there soon.”, he said.
“Hope everything is alright. Let’s go.”, she prayed.
