===============================================
Isqhi came to the hospital after getting a call from the doctor.
“Her condition is worsening” the doctor said
She looked at the Savitri whose life she had saved 7 months back, the night she had walked away from her wedding with that cheap, low-life Mayank. She remembered how a truck had almost tried to kill the lady and she had saved and bought her to the hospital. The doctors had said she was in coma, and she will be fine.
“You said she will be fine, now your telling me that she her condition is not good” she asked the doctor
“We are trying our best, she has come out of her coma” the doctor assured
Isqhi sat near her bed and took her hand in his “I will find your family aunty, please wake up” she said, her heart pained to see the lady like that
After a few hours of waiting, Ishqi got the good news that the lady was stabilized and fine and went to meet her.
“Thanks for saving me Isqhi”
“aap thanks kyun bol rahi main, aap badi hai mujhse”
“mujhe laga main kabhi apne bacchon se nahi mil paungi” and the lady starts crying
“Aunty aap aise royi mat, who are your children?”
“My sons name is Ahaan Veer Malhotra and my daughter is Sonu” the lady says which stuns Isqhi.
She opens her phone and shows the lady Ahaan and Sonu photo asking for confirmation, the lady says yes but questions as to how does Ishqi know them. Ishqi tells her that she loves Ahaan and how she met the Malhotra family.
Savitri also tells Isqhi her story.
“Ahaan’s father used to drink a lot and hit her. And dadi would see all this but never said a word. She tried to adjust for her kids, thinking that someday he will improve. But that day never came, and his abuse was just increasing every day. One day when he was hitting her, in her self defense and the anger over so many years of torture she had pushed him. And he had hit his head to a sharp object which caused his death. Dadi held her responsible for her son’s death and put her in mental hospital. Ahaan’s fathers’ friend Kishore was helping her then, so dadi framed that she ran away with him leaving her children alone”
Savitri was crying continuously, but Ishqi was angry. Her masi at least had her who had saved her from her abusive husband but Savitri aunty didn’t have anyone. She felt very sad for the lady.
“Aunty you rest now, I will handle it from here” she tells Savitri
Due to heavy medications Savitri Sleeps, and Ishqi starts thinking how to bring Savitri out of this mess.
Meanwhile Ahaan is tensed that Ishqi just ran away when he was proposing to her. He calls Karthik.
“Aree Bhai, sirf aap hi aise propose kar sakte ho. Office main kon propose karta hai.. No ambience, no music, no wine , no cake. 1921 thoughts se bahar aao aur 2021 types socho. Isilye bhaag gayi Ishqi.. Main bhi bbhaag jaata” he says and laughs
=====================================
“Bhoo .. “ Karthik scares Shefali and she she gets startled “Mujhe hi dhoond rahi ho na, ab main toh hua hi aisa” he fake combs his hair
“yes I was searching for you” she answers boldly. He looks at her “because if you lost in this jungle, we all have to start searching for you” she laughs
“You look so beautiful when you laugh Shefali” he says and she blushes.
They continue the trek and come across another stream. Karthik in a hurry to cross it, puts his feet on a stone and skids, Shefali tries to catch his hand, but they both loose balance and fall in the water. Watching this all the trekkers start laughing.
“To save you I fell” Shefali says annoyed
“thanks for saving me” he smiles
“But we still fell”
“Doesn’t matter, you tried”
He gets up and gives her his hand, she hesitates “you can trust me” he says softly, and she places her hand in his “I will never leave it” he says his eyes promising.
Shefali had butterflies in her stomach, this feeling of being so important to someone overwhelmed her. She removed her hand from his and they continued their trail. Talking, laughing, and helping each other they completed the trek for the day and reached back their accommodation.
It was night and the campfire had been lit, people were happily singing and dancing around it. They were all so happy being in nature and enjoying that the pain in their legs didn’t matter. Karthik was sitting silently admiring the fire comparing it to Shefali. She was somewhat like the fire, flowing in every situation, he thought.
“I see you are not dancing” He heard Shefali asking
“Was waiting for you” he offered her his hand and she took it.
The song playing suited their atmosphere the best
Dhoop se nikhal ke,Chaanv se phisal ke.Hum mile jahan par.Lamha tham gaya
He just held her waist and she put her hand on his shoulder. Shefali liked the Karthik who was always joking, but she loved this Karthik. Did she just say loved, He had penetrated her heart.
Duniya bhulake tumse mila hun,Nikli hai dilse ye duaa
He perfectly twirled her, and she went round and round, happiness flooding her heart.
Rang de tu mohe gerua,Ranjhe ki dil se hai duaa,Rang de tu mohe gerua
He pulled her closer and turned her, back hugged her, and just held her. And she closed her eyes. This was the best moment of her life. They were between mountains, in a lovely fire lit atmosphere and she was with a nice person. She had seen how throughout the trek he had helped everyone. Sometimes by lending his hand, sometimes by giving all the food and snacks to others who were hungry, and he always had water for everyone. He knew she cared about his brother and Isqhi. Ishqi had told her how he had always helped her in every situation and stood for what is right. How couldn’t she fall for such a person.
Karthik had seen the real Shefali today. Her face glowed throughout their trek, she was happy amidst nature, helping and guiding people efficiently during their trek. She was so talented; it wasn’t that easy to trail through the forests. But her personal life remained a lot of mystery to him. But she had to trust him to tell him about herself and he would wait.
===================================
Dadi came to a house which was at a secluded spot. She rang the bell and waited. The door opened and a man came out.
“Ahaan didn’t react to those pictures, we have to do something big” she said
“come in dadi “he says
“Don’t act too smart, I have told you not to call me dadi. You lost that right when you did wrong to my family”
The man smirks “ and your are still working with me”
“Its only to remove Isqhi from Ahaan’s life”
“Whatever dadi” he smirks again
“lets kill her” he says
“Have you lost your brain after coming back” she asks
“Dadi, dadi , dadi.. atleast you shouldn’t be saying that. The one who tried killing her daughter in law and Ahaan’s mother” the man says and dadi gets pale
“Did you think I would work with you knowing very well you can change sides anytime. I am more cunning than you Dadi. I am not like Riya who doesn’t underdatnd your game” he says.
“Ok then lets kill her. Whats the plan”
“You just enjoy the show Dadi” he says and closes the door
Dadi fumes, if she didn’t need his help, she would have never come to him. But aleast that Isqhi will be out of my way. She thinks and leaves
===============================================
Will shefali accept she loves Karthik?
Will Ahaan successfully propose Isqhi?
How will Isqhi bring out Savitri?
An any guesses as to who is the mystery man?
