Veer returned home at late night and settled himself on bed after taking shower. He hugged pillow and kiss on it whispering sweetheart while sleeping.

In veers dream

He was in his bedroom and bani is ljust near him. He was kissing her cheek and forehead hugging her tightly.

V- baby I love you.
She open her eyes lazily and kisses back on his lips.

B - veer I love you too. I am going down to bring jug of water. I will be back soon.

V- hmm okay

She went down and he heard a scream. He get panicked and walk down.

V- bani? Bani kaha ho tum. Yaha itna andhera kyu hai. Bani...

He shouts her name, turn on the flashlight and searched everywhere but couldn't find her.

V - bani you said you will be back. Kaha ho tum. You can't leave me.

He went near the mirror and looked inside. He saw some wierd faces people's who were grabbing her tightly. She was struggling to run from there. 

He waked up at sudden with this and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead.

V- again a bad dream. Why I am seeing such nightmares since two weaks. Is there something wrong or bani kaha hai vo. Kis haalat me hai.
Noo Priya ne mujhse promise Kiya tha agar bani mujhse door rahegi to vo use or  baby ko koi nuksan nahi pohchayegi. Vo mere office me full time job karti hai or meri Nazar us par hi rehti hai. Vo bani ke sath kuch kar bhi nahi sakti.

He took his phone and dialed bani's number but it was switched off. Somehow he made his mind that she is fine and slept taking pills .

Next day,

Veer drives the car towards Arijit house. He entered inside and saw him having a sip of tea.

A- veer tum yaha. Tumhari wife kya ab bhi?

V- vo Priya uska peecha chhodegi kabhi kya? Never! Isiliye maine bani ko khud se door kar diya hai.

A- ohh to ab kya chahiye tumhe.

V- I am seeing a dream since two weaks. I don't know iska kya matlab hai .

A- what kind of dream

Veer narrate the whole thing

A- ohh no it means something is seriously wrong. May be that spell is taking place in her full soul now. Aisa hua to bohot gadbad ho jayegi.

V- lekin ye kaise ho sakta hai. Vo Priya to ab kuch bhi nahi kar rahi uske sath me . She is working in my office or pure time mere guards us par nazar rakhte hai . Use pata bhi nahi bani kaha hai.

A- veer uske kuch karne ya na karne se ab kuch nahi hoga. Ab waqt ham sab ke hath se nikal chuka hai. Tumhe bani ko jald se jald yaha lana hoga.

V - m..mai use kaha dhoondu . Maine khud usse bola tha mai uski shaql nahi dekhna chahta.

A-  what. tumne Aisa kyu kiya lekin .
 
V- maine vo sab use bas gusse me bol Diya tha kyuki Jo bhi ho aaj meri mom coma me hai sirf uski wajah se. Maine use wapas laane ki koshish nahi ki kyuki us Priya ki yahi shart thi.

A-  jo bhi ho Hame bani ko jald se jald dhoondna hoga.

Bani was working on laptop as finally after so much hardships, she finds a job in a firm with monthly salary of 40,00.  It was getting difficult for her to find work due to case which Priya filed on her. Her image was viral on T.V .

Veer went to taneja mansion to find bani.

V- bani kaha hai mujhe milna hai usse.

He questioned her mom
