Pratha and Rishab were doing a rasam off angooti.
Rishab: wifie harne ke liye taiyaar ho
Pratha fake smiles him.
Chachi: Rishab beta jeetna hai

Aur tum dono ki toh jaan basti hai ek dusre main toh ab yeah sab bhul jao aur enjoy kar kyuki joh hua hai woh ho chuka hai
Ritesh: bhai main wada nhi kar sakta ki main sab enjoy kar sakta hoon I need time but main meri wajah se aap sab ko sad nhi karunga
Ranveer smiles at him.

All were enjoying the rasam eventually Pratha won it.
Khushi: yaay bhabhi jeet gyiii bhaii ab aapko hamesha bhabhi ki sunni padegii
Chacha: waise bhi hamesha biwiyon ki hi chalti hai
Chachi: aap na chup raheye
Everyone laughs.

Pratha was looking outside from the balcony waiting for Mahek.
Ranveer looks her.
Ranveer: pratha tum kya kar rahi hoon
Pratha turns to him.
Pratha:(hesitantly) kuch nhii
He walks to her.
Ranveer: waise tumhe pata hai Pratha yeh spot na hum bhaiyon ka fav hai bohat mastiya ki hai humne yaha, pata hai ek baar na Rishab aur Ritesh idhar khel rahi the aur unka jhagda ho gya dono ladne lag gye. Aur isse main ritesh yeah railing se girne wala tha....
Pratha:kya
Ranveer: mera matlab gir hi gya tha par Rishab ne usse kass ke pakad liya par tha woh baccha hi aur ritesh uske haath se chut gya. Par pata hai ritesh jab nicche gura ussr chute nhi lagi na hi khon nikla dadi kehti hai yeah bhagwan ki kirpa thi ki ritesh ka kuch nhi huaa aur haa tabhi se Rishab Ritesh ke liye bohat jyada protective hain aur khud se jyada usse ritesh ki padi hoti hai
Pratha: bholenath kare dono hamesha aise hi sath rahe. Lekin itna upar se girne ki baad ritesh ji ko chot kaise nhi aayi
Ranveer: shayad kisi ne jadu se baccha liya hoo
Pratha:(chukles) aisa thodhi hota hai  kuch bhii
Suddenly she gets a call from Mahek.
Pratha: main yeah call attend karke aati hoon
She leaves from there.
Ranveer: ho toh bohat kuch sakta hai par shayad tumhe pata nhiii
Ranveer takes out his phone and calls someone.
Ranveer: hello toh aap kab aa rahi hai
Caller:..........
Ranveer: nhii kisi ko kuch nhi pata
Caller:...........
Ranveer: aapke aane se cheezon bohat aasan ho jaayenge lekin shesh naagin ke liye kafii mushkil aayenge!!! kal se shesh naagin mera asli khel dekhegiii
And he cuts the call.
He looks at the moon.
Ranveer: aaj ki raat bohat sukoon wali hogi mere liye aab toh iss khel main aur bhi maza aayega pratha

And he walks back to his room.

Here Pratha comes to mehak room and closes the door.
Pratha: didi kya kaha professor ne batao na
Mehak: pratha professor jyada kuch nhi bata paye par unhone itna kaha hai ki aane wala samay bohat muskil hone wala hain hamre liye
Pratha: par isse bachne ka sehne ka koyi toh upay hoga na didi
Mehak: isse hume ab bholenath hi bachha sakte hain.
Pratha: matlab
Mehak: hume bholenath ko prasan karna hoga pratha khas kar tumhe pratha tum bholenath ki Priya hoo tumhe hi karna hai
Pratha looks at the moon.(actually outside)
Pratha: iss jang main humri hi jeet hogi didi hum in asur ko jeetne nhi de sakte Dharti maa hai hamrii aur iss ko hum koyi aach nhi aane de sakte (she turns her eyes had fire) in asur ko vinash hoga aur yeah main karke rahungii inhone aapne hi desh ko bejne hi saazish ki hai na inhe uski kimmat chukani padegii
Mehak: pratha shaanth abhi hume nili pahadi par jana hoga
Pratha: didi rukiye ek min
She takes her phone and types a message and sends it to rishab.

Then both transforms in snake and goes to nili pahadi.
Both transforms in their naagin look.
Pratha: heyy bholenath aaj tak apki kripa se humne humri dharti mata par ek aanch bhi nhi aane di aur na hi aage aane denge.
Mehak: par bholenath aaj hume aapki suraksha ki jarurat hai asur ki taakat aaj hum peh bhaari hai par hum hare nhi hai hum aaj bhi humeri dharti ma ke liye khade hai aur daat ke khade hai

Then both starts doing the tandaav.
Both were not stopping all the bells starts ringing.
Suddenly a light surrounds them and they stops.
The light goes up and a voice comes out of it

       "Asuro ka vinash nishit hai aur yeah sirf shesh naagin hi kar sakti hai. Aur iss bar joh Jung hogi ussme sabse jyada shesh naagin par samasyaan aayengi lekin in main unhi koyi nuksaan nhi hogi kyuki Shiv vardani hai aur shiv ji hamesha unki dhaal banke rahenge. Par shesh naagin ek baat dhayn main rakheyega ki jis tarah rakshak bhakshak ban jate hai ussi tarah bhakshak bhi rakshak ban sakte hai"

And the light vanishes.

Pratha and Mehak looks at each-other.
Mehak: Pratha tum darna mat kisi bhi cheez se svayam bholenath tumhare rakshak hai.
Pratha nods but she was still processing everything.
Pratha: didi abhi hume jaldi ghar jana chahiye
And both transforms and goes to Gujral house. Pratha goes to her Room. And Rishab was sleeping on sofa so she sleeps on bed. But sleep was far away from her eyes.
Pratha:(in mind) rakshak bhakshak iska kya matlab ho sakta hain
She looks at her door and sees a shadow their.
Pratha sits on the bed.
Pratha: yeah itni raat ko? Kahi koyi muj peh nazar toh nhi rakh rahe hai
She slowly gets up and opens the door. And sees the shadow and follows it.
She hears a voice from back and turns but there was no one and she turns back and the shadow guy also disappeared.
Pratha: yeah kya tha
She walks down to kitchen for drinking water and sees some peacock feathers there.
Pratha: yeah yaha par hamara ghar toh jungle se kafi dur haii aur humre yaha toh koyi mor bhi nhi hai
"Pratha tum itni raat ko yaha"
She turns it was Ranveer standing infront of her.
Pratha: woh pani peene aayi thi
Ranveer: ohh
Pratha sees a peacock feather on his shirt.
Ranveer looks at his shirt.
Ranveer: aree yeah kaise aaye mere upar
Pratha: haa pata nhi idhar bhi bohat gire hui hai
Ranveer: par hamre ghar ke pass koyi zoo nhi hai

Pratha: haa
And she takes water and starts going up.
Pratha:(in mind) yeah Ranveer ji todhe aajeb lag rahe hai aur mor Pankh unhi shirt peh kuch toh gadbad hai
She turns and looks but he wasn't there and turns back and he was standing infront of her.
Pratha: aapne toh dara diya

Pratha goes to her room and closes the door.
Pratha: kuch toh gadbad hai inmeh
