Dushyant horrified to look at savita's deadbody as he elbowed kavin, seated on the right side of his, as he started to flutter open his eyes, only for his glance to fall on a half face-burnt, drowned in blood deadbody of savita. Before he could look back at dushyant to react, the van was stopped by a sudden brake, shaking up sameer and meghna, as they gained consciousness as well.
Dushyant attempted to sit back up properly, as there was a blind that was set up between them and the driver, as he tried to bent his head a little to see from the window behind him, to catch a glance of what could have been happening. suddenly, they heard the front door of the van open, as meghna looked over to sameer as if asking 'what is happening', meanwhile sameer just shrugged his shoulders equally confused, only for a gunshot to be overheard. Kavin and dushyant exchanged worried glances, as sameer and meghna just realized that there was no way for things to end well for them.

Kavin looked straight to the road, as he drove the van, the gun that was pointed on his head, was being digged deeper into his forehead as more of the road passed by, he tried to keep himself calm, but his sweating forehead told another story.
"yeh sab karne ki kya zaroorat thi aapko?" questioned dushyant, sitting at the back, along with meghna and sameer, all of them untied at this point.
"tumhe do minute bhi sharam nahi aayi?" followed up meghna with another question, as sameer was just mum in utter shock.
"neelu..."blurted out sameer accidentally, as she turned back in rage.
"ab chaaron mein se kisika bhi moh khula na, uski bhi laash piche milegi uss ladki ke saath...." threatened neelu, as she pressed the trigger to the gun pointing at kavin's head, as he continued to drive.
On the back, lied the corpse of a girl not a day above 20. Shot thrice on the chest, she was dead, her body already starting to turn blue.

A gunshot was heard by all of them in the van, frightening them, as dushyant peeped outside the window behind him to see what was going on.
"kuch dikha?" asked kavin, as dushyant shook his head in no.
"itna bura nahi lagega marna iss point pe, bas yeh roz-roz ka darr toh khatam ho jayega...." remarked meghna, as she just closed her yes, taking a long sigh.
"maa..." blurted out kavin, as before anyone could say anything, the trunk of the car opened.
All of them were scared for their lives, as it turned out to be only neelu.
"neelu? tum thik ho? hua kya bahar?" questioned sameer, as neelu seemed to be on the verge of crying, untying sameer, as he untied meghna, as she untied dushyant and kavin.
They all were about to step out, when neelu was in front of them with a gun pointing at them.
"neelu,yeh sab..." uttered a confused sameer.
"chalo, utro, van mein baithte hain, sab batati hoon....lamba rasta haina kaafi kahaani ke liye.." remarked neelu.

There was complete silence in the car, as kavin continued to drive slowly, neelu seemed to be an unpredictable lunatic at this point, capable of doing anything. They didn't know how to make a move, without bringing danger upon themselves. they seemed to have been waiting for the right moment, which arrived when the car was halted suddenly.
"kya hua?" questioned neelu, as kavin noticed no fault of the car from the inside.
"lagta hai, tyre puncture ho gaya hai, check karna padega..." informed kavin, as she glared at him for a while.
"theek hai, dekho, par koi hoshiyari nahi..warna yaheen se thok dungi..." warned neelu, as kavin got out of the car, when he noticed a car coming this way.
he immediately bent by the back tire, slowly lifting his hand up, signaling for a lift. the car stopped, as kavin quickly wrote SOS on a pile of wet cement nearby.
the car didn't move, but only remained there, at a distance that neelu won't be able to see from. feeling dejected, kavin just decided to walk back up, only for him to notice what had caused a flat tyre in the first place, a cardboard with pointed needles on top, that had punched a hole inside the tyre, clearly it was put in there intentionally.
before he realised, the door to the passenger seat was opened, as he rushed to find purvi right there, taking the gun away from neelu and giving her a tight slap.
"how could you?" questioned purvi, moist eyes, hurt and betrayed, as neelu remained mum.
"purvi..." uttered kavin, nothing but joyful upon seeing her as he rushed to give her a hug, she hugged him back with the same intensity, they both really needed it at this point.
Dushyant got out of the car, he wanted to look for ishita, but only to find her at the back of the van, with the trunk open, as she was horrified to discover her mother's deadbody. he came from the back, giving her a much needed hug, as the poor thing couldn't move, was just shaking from the shock.
"purvi tum thik ho? tum aur ishita yahan kaise pahaunche?" questioned sameer, as purvi only glared at neelu.
"aaj se main apne aapko anaat hi manungi...aap dono mere liye mar chuke hain..." looked purvi at sameer once again, before looking over to meghna.
"aaj se yahin meri maa hain.." said purvi to meghna, as she passed her a light smile.
"baaki, main bas inhe, kavin aur bhai ke liye aayi thi, aur ab unke saath hi wapas jaungi...aap dono ko joh karna hai aap kar sakte hain..." concluded purvi, walking back to her car, as kavin and meghna followed.
ishita let go of dushyant's embrace, as she composed herself. she didn't say anything, nor even looked at him, just walked back to the car. he knew she was hurt, his glance fell on savita's deadbody, as he knew he should pick it up, the woman deserved to die peacefully.
