Chitra, the girl sitting next to Amrit tapped on Randheer's shoulder and said," Sir, would you mind telling me the last answer. I am not that quick in writing down."

As Randheer turned around, Amrit bent down pretending to pick up something she had dropped.

"Yes," he said passing his notebook to Chitra and dictating the answer to her because she couldnt understand his handwriting.

"Haye rabba!" Amrit said to herself while still bent under the desk," how am I going to deal with this now? I dont want to deal with him right now, else my wounded self will emerge again. I just wish to focus on my studies for which Uday veerji and Vashma have risked their lives."

Seeing Amrit still bent, Randheer whispered to Chitra," is your friend all right? What has she lost that she cant find?"

"My faith on you Randheer," Amrit said to herself as she could clearly hear Randheer's whispers.

"Let her be," Chitra said," and thank you so much for helping me."

"You are most welcome," Randheer said and turned back to his notes.

Amrit quickly sat up and wiped her tears.

"Why are you acting so weird?" Chitra asked her," are you homesick?"

The very mention of the word "home" brought tears to Amrit's eyes. The place she had left behind, the father whose name she had blackened, the mother whose heart she had broken, the family she had brought shame upon.................

"Thoda sa khaa leejiye," Rajrani ji stood with a plate of food in front of lalaji.

Lalaji looked at her with sad eyes and said," aloo de paronthe banaye hain?"

Rajrani ji nodded in a yes.

"Amrit bhi yehi banaya karti thi," he said," aapke hath mein wo swaad kahan rajrani ji jo saadi kudi ke haathon mein thaa."

He sighed and said," where did I fail as a father? Ever since she was born, I gave her everything- her favourite gudiya, her favourite chunri, everything she ever asked for. Then why? Why did she betray our family for any random boy?"

"That evil boy must have brainwashed her," Rajrani ji said," our Amru is too innocent to see past any deception."

"But now I have nothing left," lalaji said,"neither my pagdi, nor my reputation, not even my beloved daughter. I have decided that I will transfer "Lala di hatti" to my sons Bhanu and Uday. I have no more strength left in me."

Saroj had been eavesdropping standing behind the staircase. With a smile on her face, she said to herself," bhala ho us Amrit ka jo bhaag gayi. Now my husband and I shall rule this place. But this Uday........why him? I dont want him to be a partner in business. I must think of something to get rid of him."
