She looked like an angel in that beautiful dress, so confident and her aura so mysterious like I have never felt. He thought to himself. He had never experienced this......it was a new experience for him. Was it so called the "Love at first sight"...
It's been two weeks since the shooting incident. Leher's hand was better than before yet it was advised not to move Leher still isn't talking to viraj and viraj hasn't tried to make it up to her as he was busy.
When he went back to work he has been receiving constant threats from a gang for his family especially regarding Leher and along with that someone has been stealing his shipments so he has been busy looking into it.
Leher was sitting in the living room along with Viraj's mother and Chachi, she had to discuss something important " ma mujhe kuch baat karni thi" she nodded "vo ghar par path rakhvana tha ............. maine socha tha ke Aryan ke case khatam hone ke bad rakhvaye ge..." Ma said "kyu nahi Aryan ke case ke liye bhi or teri recovery ke liye bhi, dono ke liye rakhva lete hai .......tu baat karna granthi ji se, hum ghar ki tayari kar lege"

Today was the day when the akand path will be put to finish everyone from there family visited one by one everyone was gathering at the singhania mansion. Leher was looking at the preparation while viraj was interacting with the guest. It was originally done be head of family- maa but since she was on the phone so this responsibility was given to Viraj for the timing.
(Maa-m , unknown-?) ?- hello, seema? M- Ha, kaha pahonchi? ?- hum bas pahunchne hi wale hai. M- acha thik hai, jaldi aa jao
the phone call soon ended and maa told everyone about the mysterious person arrival. Today, Viraj was also participating in the chores, although he didn't believe in god he was there just for Leher. He made sure the security was tight around their house and there was no one coming in who wasn't known to Viraj. He didn't want to take any chance with the security while his whole family was present at the same spot and after the incident.

(What they are wearing)
The path started soon all were sitting there Viraj didn't knew what to do so he sat there admiring Leher who had her eyes closed and was listening to the kirtan. He soon saw the guest coming but he didn't move because Leher was slightly leaned towards him making her injured arm to rest on him. Although they were fighting, they didn't want others to know. Soon the kirtan ended and prasad was given out. The bhai ji came in front of Leher to offer her some but since her hand was injured she wasn't able to take it, she looked at Viraj to find him already looking at her. He took the prasad in his hand and fed her. After 2 hours, everyone finally went their ways and only the unexpected guests were left. They seemed to stay for approximately 2 days. They all were mingling with them just like family. As we were done with the farewell of guests, Ma introduced me to them. "Leher, ye hamari sabse zyada close family friend hai- Gurmeet aur ye unke husband- Veerpratap." We at sat down for tea in the lobby and everyone was having fun talking to each other. Since they met after so long, they all were catching up and looked very happy. Apparently they are from the royal family of Patiala. They have two older sons and a daughter in the family who was the youngest and the most adored, their family had to go through much troubles just to get a daughter. But she was kidnapped when very young. Coincidentally her name was also Leher. While this topic was going on, the helper was serving tea to everyone. Since Leher was sitting a little far, she had to turn around the sofa to get to Lehrer . She was about to take the tea when suddenly, the piping hot tea fell on Leher. The maid panicked. She got in shock probably thinking about the repercussions and knowing how protective Viraj and everyone else is for Leher and till what limits they can go. She came out of her shock snd started pleading "Sorry ma'am......Sorry......." Viraj rose up and rushed towards her. It was hurting a bit but as much as to create a scene. But Viraj being Viraj sat on his knee, put her foot on his knee and started lashing at the helper. He shouted "First Aid" and within a minute, another servant came running with the kit. Meanwhile, others were sitting besides me, worrying. As Viraj was applying ointment on her feet, the back of it was visible to Gurmeet. She could see her gasp and her eyes widened. As Viraj finished the first aid, he asked me if she was fine and she nodded. But my main focus was on the wide eyed person. Ma asked slowly "Ki hoya Gurmeet? Sab theek tah hai??" Gurmeet seriously seemed shock, she still looking at Leher's feet said "Meher?" She was confused af. The way she was starring at her feet, at some point it was very uncomfortable. But just as she called "Meher", a very faint but sweet voice played in her head.
Leher's POV:-
It was like a memory....... of when I was young. Before....... I was with the devil people. My head hurt so bad. I held my head and a mixture of voices playing in my head. I could hear a very faint voice of Viraj calling my name in the background. I tried to get up but blacked out. Just as I was about to hit the ground, Viraj catches me. I didn't know anything after that. The last feeling I had was my head throbbing crazily.
I remembered it all. All my memories came back in the form of a dream. I opened my eyes slowly, adjusting to the lighting. It was the guest room as I could see the surroundings. I saw her standing there in front of me. She noticed my eyes opened and rushed towards me. Seeing her everyone else also came. She was standing near my bed as I tried to speak. First attempt was a fail but in the second, my voice became a bit clear, her eyes moist. She held my hand and nodded. She sobed. Tears rolled down her cheeks and everyone understood what it was about. Ma said in astonished tone " Gurmeet, pakka aehi tuadi Leher hai?? Pakka?" (English Translation of the above dialogue- Gurmeet, are you sure this is your Leher? Are you sure?) She said " Ha seema, aede paer de thale ohi same birthmark haega jo sadi Leher da si" ( English translation of the above dialogue- Yes Seema, the birthmark that is has is the same as one which our Leher had) Chachi asked me " Leher beta, tu thik toh hai? Aur tujhe kuch yaad aya?" And I nodded. Since I wasn't too emotionally attached with my biological family yet, I wasn't that emotional but definitely happy to finally find them. I left the hope to meet my family years ago and thought of Viraj's family as my own. It was still a very unsettling feeling. I suddenly remember my family and they are infront of me but I do not feel like crying nor am I being excited. Viraj was on the other side of the bed. He told everyone to leave the room for now so that I could rest up since my head might be exhausted from all the overwhelming incidents. Everyone except him left the room. I could hear ma ordering one the servants to get some sweets to celebrate this precious moment. I shouted from my room " Mere liye bhi" and everyone laughed and looked relaxed to see my old self.
Soon we made it to our room i changed into my night ware and sat on the bed thinking well if my family were this influential then why did they not find me is because i was a girl or an unwanted child however I tried to remove the negative thoughts from my mind and soon the sleep engulfed me
