"Sir! You have a flight to catch! You have a meeting in London!" Anush said, to his boss Karan Desai.

"Yes, Anush! I know!" He said and started drinking his vodka.

Karan has been in dark loneliness for the past 2 years. He is depending on alcohol. Ever since she left him, due to a small misunderstanding.

Karan packed his basic necessities and took his passport. He went to the airport and got into his private jet.

Little did he know, he was waiting for a small surprise, which will hurt for sure.

"Hello, Bhai Yeah keep him tied up! I want answers! No! Don't torture nor kill!" She said through the phone.

She entered a room, filled with space, and rockets, pictures of cars and racing stuck on the walls.

"Good morning! How is my baby today?" She said picking her 1 year old son in her hands. He cooed and started to giggle.

"Oh! My Trishant!" She giggled along with him.

"So, my grandson is awake!" A voice boomed across the room.

"Good Morning, Chacha!" She said bending down and touching his feet.

"Come on, Dyuti! I am your sworn uncle! My blessings are always with you!" He said smiling.

Dyuti Kapoor, although never wanted to be adopted by Lokesh Bhatt, he felt the need to take his wing. So, in front of the gods, Lokesh Bhatt swore to her that he would be his uncle and Prem as her sworn brother.

"Chacha! You don't kill people do you?" Dyuti asked rubbing her belly. She was 6 months pregnant.

"No, if not necessary! But there are some cases like, sex or human trafficking, so we execute them!" He said.

Dyuti said, "Ok! I will be under your wing! But it should not affect my child at all!" Dyuti said.

"No! I promise you that!" He said taking her hand in his.

"Ok! I accept the condition! But only after the delivery!" She says and both start laughing.
