Meanwhile, Sanju ran somewhere and saw a car that was parked near a shop. She tried to open the door of the car, and luckily it was not locked. She hides in the back seat, without knowing whose car that was and sleeps unknowingly in that car.

Soon the owner of that car came. It was Aarav Roy's car. He is the CEO of his company "Roy Constructions", along with him, his brother Aryan Roy is also there who is a college student.
They both are doing their shopping, spending time with each other. They are new to the city where Sanju lives. They came here for vacation.

"Is there anything else you want to buy?" said Aarav. "yup, let's go to a nearby shopping mall", said Aaryan. Then they both went towards the car. As soon as they opened the door, they saw Sanju who was sleeping peacefully in the car. "Who is she bhaiya?", asked Aaryan. "I don't know", Aarav replied. After hearing that, Aaryan said "Anyways she is so cute. Looks like a teenager. " Arav also agreed with him.

"What should we do now? Should we wake her up? " asked Aaryan. After a few minutes of silence, they finally decided to wake her up.

Soon Sanju woke up. She got scared by seeing those boys. "Please leave me, please let me go. Please, don't hurt me!", she said while crying. After seeing her in this condition, Aarav said, "Hey! Baby, don't cry. We won't do anything. Stop crying.." Sanju was so scared and hurt. But anyway she calmed her down.

"Who are you? And how you came here??", asked Aaryan. "In this place, everyone knows Uncle and Aunty. If I tell my real name, then what if they take me there?", thought Sanju. She was busy in her thoughts, and soon she got interrupted by Aarav, "Hello, I think we asked you something!". "Huh??! Yeah!! I-I I'm Radhika!", Sanju lied to them. And those boys smiled at her and soon Aarav asked, "What are you doing here, in our car?"

Then she thought a little bit and said, "I got lost here. And some people were hurting me. And I ran from there and hid here." After hearing that, Aarav and Aaryan felt pity for her and Aaryan said, "Do you remember your parent's number?"

She said no and those boys decided to hand her to the police officers so that they could find her parents. Sanju got scared and said something which diverted their mind, "I'm hungry. "

They were shocked and asked, "What?" Then Sanju repeated the same that she was hungry.
Then they again felt pity on them and they took Sanju to a five-star hotel.

"What do you want to eat?", asked Aarav. Then she said, "Anything.." And they ordered food and started eating. After finishing the food, Sanju became sad and it was noticed by those boys.

"What happened? Didn't you like the food??" asked Aaryan. "It's not like that!" said Sanju. Then Aarav asked, "Then??" When he asked that to Sanju, she looked at him for a while and said, "I'm becoming a burden for you. And I don't want that to happen" Then Aaryan and Aarav looked at each other. A silence took place there. And that silence was broken by Aarav. He said, "You are not a burden for us. We loved to be with you." "Really?!", asked Sanju. Then Aaryan said, "Yes of course." After hearing that from them, a smile appeared on Sanju's face. By seeing that smile Aarav said, "Cute smile". Sanju got shy. She felt so happy being around them. But that happiness faded away when she saw Mr. & Mrs. Singh in that hotel, staring at Sanju with an angry look.

Sanju got so scared. And soon Mr. & Mrs. Singh came towards them.
"Sanjna", said Mrs. Singh.
"Excuse me, she is not Sanjna, she is Radhika.", said Aaryan. "No! No! You have been mistaken. She is Sanjna, not Radhika", said Mr. Singh. Then Mrs. Singh said, "Yeah! And she is my daughter." Aaryan and Aarav were shocked after hearing that.

"Why did you lie to us?", asked Aarav in anger. Sanju didn't say anything. "I'm sorry if she created any trouble for you. Can We take her home now?", said Mr. Singh.

Aarav & Aaryan sighed and Mr. & Mrs. Singh took Sanju home. As soon as they reached home, Mr. Singh dragged her to the Living room.

Sushmita saw Sanju who was being dragged by Mr. Singh, and she followed them to the living room. "Let me see what's in your bag", Said Mrs. Singh while going towards her. Sanju held her bad so tightly and said, "No I won't give you." But Mrs. Singh snatched her bag and started checking it. She found her clothes inside the bag. She slapped Sanju and said, "Oh! So you were running away from here." Sanju started crying and said, "I don't want to live here. You are so cruel. I'm going to find my Bhaiya and stay with him." After saying this, she got another slap from Mrs. Singh. Sushmita was not able to do anything. Because she knows that if she interferes in this it will end up worse with Sanjna.

"She won't listen like this," said Mr. Singh and dragged her to the store room and locked it from inside. After that, Mr. Singh unbuckled his belt and started beating her badly. Sanju was crying a lot but he didn't show any mercy to her. And after some time Mr. Singh came out and locked the door from outside and kept the room's key with him. "Don't give anything to her. Not even a glass of water. Let her learn a lesson.", said Mr. Singh and left. Mrs. Singh also followed him. After watching all this Sushmita also started crying.

Sanju was sitting in the corner of the storeroom. "They are so bad, I want to go from here. I want to live with my bhaiya.", Sanju said to herself while crying.

It's evening, and Sanju is hungry as she hasn't eaten or drunk anything since that incident. So Sushmita decided to give her some food. She took some food and was about to go toward Sanju but Mrs. Singh saw her and asked, "Where are you going with this?" Sushmita stayed silent for a while, and said, "It's for Sanju" When she said that, Mrs. Singh took that plate from her threw it away, and said, "We told you she is not going to get anything from this house and that's final." After saying this she left from there. Sushmita felt sad and cleaned the mess.

The next morning, Aarav and Aaryan were buying some groceries from the market. And suddenly Aaryan said, "But bhaiya, I still don't understand why that girl lied to us?" Then Aarav said with a confused look, "That girl? Oh Sanjna". "Hmm. And I feel something fishy. Because when her parents came there, she was scared, I felt like she didn't want to go with them.", said Aaryan and after listening to him, Aarav smiled and said, "She is a child and of course when a child does a mistake he or she will get scared because that child has to face the consequences."

Sushmita was standing next to them and listening to all their conversations. And finally, she spoke, "How do you know about Sanjna? She was with you yesterday?"
