Neelu arrived at the crime scene, as she saw ishita and purvi lying next to what appeared to be two deadbodies, with their faces completely mashed and destroyed. She was horrified at this site, it's like her entire world collapsed in front of her eyes, when ishita, turned to her left, rubbing her eyes, before opening them, as neelu was relieved and shocked. she immediately rushed to ishita, as purvi had gotten up too.
"tum dono zinda ho?" questioned neelu, as ishita and purvi were perplexed.
"kyun, humein kya hona tha?" cross-questioned ishita, as she got up, and neelu just shook her head in disbelief.
"aur maa, hum kaise marre hue ho sakte the, humne hi toh aapko phone kiya tha..." retorted purvi, as neelu just face palmed herself.
"bas ab yahi reh gaya hai, yeh dekhna ki kaunsa member marr gaya hai, kaun gayab ho gaya hai!" exclaimed neelu, frustrated, never felt so helpless before, as ishita rubbed her shoulders in consolation. The waterfall of tears couldn't stop themselves from coming out of her eyes, as she just let herself cry.
"kya zaroorat thi usse yeh sab karne ki! Ek bache ki zindagi barbad ho gayi, dusre ki khatam ho gayi....aur kisliye yeh sab, kyunki woh apna ego nahi alag rakh paa raha tha apne bachon ki khushi ke saamne? ab khudh bhi gayab hai!" vented out neelu her frustrations, angst, and the sheer apathy sameer had shown towards her, as much as purvi could empathise, she couldn't help but notice that meghna was missing.
"mummy ji kahan hai?" attempted purvi to clarify her suspicion, as ishita looked at neelu's face and knew, something bad had to have happened to her.
"maa, kahan hai mummyji?"demanded purvi for an answer, worried, scared, as neelu, immediately took out her phone and dialled for her, her phone was unreachable. Neelu tried again, but in vain, disheartened, she dialed for ankit too, but even his phone was not being answered to.
Ishita, concerned for her own mother, quickly dialed for her too, but as with each passing ring the phone went unanswered, she knew that sameer was up to no good.....

Sameer who seemed too unconscious to even be alive at this point, somehow managed to open his eyes, only to find meghna in front of him, who was completely unconscious. Sameer was perplexedly frightened, he knew something really bad had to happen, for both of them to be in the same room....tied to a pole just like him with nylon wires...but, if anything could make it worse, it was finding out that ankit lied there too.
Sameer couldn't shake off the thought, that something had happened to neelu too, as he looked around, trying to get out of the binds of these wires, when it hit him, what if something happened to purvi. He knew that it would be something that would kill him even if it happened in his wildest dreams, he couldn't let it really happen.
He used his leg, which was somewhat free from the knee down, from the grasp of the ropes, as he tried to hit meghna's with it, in order to wake her up, but of no use. He attempted to hit his head on her shoulder, but instead just hit it by the steel pole, "aah", he exclaimed in pain, what made him angrier was, he couldn't do anything about it.
But meghna, did finally open her eyes, horrified to look at sameer, and finding out she's been tied completely by the heavy and strong nylon wires.
"hum hain kahan! kya chakkar chalaya hai tumne!" yelled meghna, as ankit too started to gain consciousness.
"chup raho!" exclaimed sameer in a whisper, scared somebody would come in.
"kaun marzi se apne aapko aise kidnap karwata hai! dimaag thikane pe hai tumhara!" rebuked sameer, as meghna shook her head in disbelief.
"koi hai! dekho, chaho toh mera rape bhi kardo, main kisiko nahi bataungi, but please mujhe iss aadmi ke saath ek kamre mein nahi rehna! hello! koi sunn bhi raha hai, arre mujhe maar bhi dena baad mein koi baat nahi, mera toh beta bhi marr hi gaya hai..." grumbled meghna, as sameer looked at her with utmost of disgust, only to realise what her lost words were.
"ek second, kya hua kavin ko?" interrogated sameer, as meghna looked at him with disbelief and scoffed loudly.
"tumne mere bete ko mardiya aur bhul bhi gaye, unbelievable! aur apne hi bete ke saath tumne bhi yeh kiya....kisliye? tumhe kya laga tha, apni beti-bahu ka rape kardoge, ek ko pregnant aur dusri ka miscarriage kardoge, aur unki shaadi toot jayegi!" yelled meghna, as sameer was completely baffled at hearing all this.
"tumhe lagta apni beti ka rape karunga! mujhe toh yeh bhi nahi pata dushyant aur ishita rehte kahan hai, woh toh milte nahi hai mujhse! main kaise karunga yeh sab?" argued sameer, as meghna just realised, what all had happened.
"oh no..." blurted out meghna, as sameer was getting restless.
"arre batao bhi kya hua hai!" demanded sameer, when the door opened and an unconscious savita was thrown into the room, her hands and feet already tied, landing on the floor.
"sambdhan ji?" questioned sameer, as he hit his head on the pole he was tied to.
"namtej ka beta marra nahi hai, zinda hai..." concluded meghna, as sameer too couldn't help but nod along, as they had just realised, how muddy the waters had gotten.
***
Two funeral pyres in front of them, but their faces were unmoved, stoic, as their moist eyes seemed to dry a little, every passing second. Purvi and ishita had only one thing in their eyes, hopelessness, and in neelu's only thing vengeance...
