At Vihaan's House 🏘 :

"But wasn't she living in different countries just because she wanted to study in different countries? आप ही लोगों ने तो बताया था हमें ये कि starting में खतरा था but बाद में she said she wants to study in different countries, she wants to know more about their culture, she loves to learn different languages? Loves to explore?" Shreya asks him out of nowhere with moist eyes in shock.

[ Translation : "You were the ones who told us that there was danger in starting but later she said she wants to study in different countries, she wants to know more about their culture, she loves to learn different languages? Loves to explore?" ]

Bhishma shakes his head looking at her and says, "तुम लोगों से सच छुपाया गया। वो एक जगह कभी टिकी ही नहीं क्यूँकि हर कुछ महीनों में, सालों में उस पर अटैक हो जाता है और फिर location change करनी पड़ती है। हर बार कहीं ना कहीं से।" Bhishma's words take away breaths as he whispers the last words and Shreya covers her mouth and more tears spill out of her eyes which turned red while Gia cries putting her hands over her mouth.

[ Translation : "The truth was hidden from you people. She never stayed at one place because every few months she gets attacked and then the location has to be changed. Every time from somewhere or the other." ]

Trisha's throat goes dry hearing that, Kirti's eyes brim with tears and she shakes her head as if telling herself, This can't be true!

Vihaan was beyond shocked because he only knew that she was in danger when she was living with their grandparents peacefully, but what is more shocking to him is that when his mother was pregnant with his sister, his sister was still being targetted everyday, like Hyenas looking for their meals everyday. His heart trembles with all the info he just got but is unable to take well. His forehead sweats with the imagination of her hiding, running, fighting those nightmares, having panick attacks while being targetted everyday like a flying bird in the sky. . . . But the only difference is that this bird was cursed to fly high, fly high but away from her home. How could he stay calm after hearing that she was on a run for past 15 fr***ing years and it all started when she was just a fetus in her mother's womb?

Meanwhile, Anshuman looks at his mother and Aunts with disbelief. He still held onto a little hope that it's not true when Bhishma uttered those four words,"Because of her safety." He still had a little hope somewhere that she could not have been caged-in in the name of security for years, she could not have been snatched away from them in the name of protection, she could not have been wronged all these years in front of the elders' eyes just to hide the truth! How could they do so! Caging a child instead of finding the one who is responsible for her sullen childhood? No family, no friends, no parents, no festivals, no connections. Does not it sound like a haunted nightmare of any child?

Nikita was crying covering her mouth. Today, Shivika had no courage to go and console her. Nia herself was trying to understand the courage of this girl who just changed the direction of many drowning sails of lives that how the hell she lived without family under that fear for a decade after losing her only family, her Nanny-Pappy?
