This chapter will be emotional, Hopefully, let me know if you teared up...

Next morning, Rishi had woken up earlier than usual, the duo (Ayush and Rishi) had booked a room in someone else's house for 1 week, in order to look for Lakshmi

Rishi woke Ayush up, and both went to the location where they thought, Lakshmi lived

On the other hand, Lakshmi hurriedly got out of the house, for her job, forgetting her phone

She started doing what was expected of her, but felt really weird, it was as if, she was being remembered for a while, someone was definitely looking for her, but she ignored her guts and continued her work

It had been 2 hours, Rishi was trying to reach Lakshmi, but to no avail

Lakshmi, on the other hand, was waiting for Rishi's call, he had never gone 1 hour without calling her, and today, it had been 2 

"Ye phone kyun nahi utha rahi, bell hi nahi jaa rahi" Rishi says, annoyed

"Ap bhi toh, kisi ne kuch bhi bola, aur apne maan liya" Ayush says, driving faster

They had asked the family they were staying with if they knew where Lakshmi was, and they told them her address, but it wasn't the right one

"Unhone ne jhoot bola, meri kya ghalti hai" He says, defending himself

They angrily drove back to their rented house, and confornted the family

Turns out, Rishi and Ayush had heard it wrong, the address was right

"Are beta, tujhe lagta hai hum tujhe nahi jante, are Lakshmi puttar ko toh pura gaon jaanta hai, uske bauji humre bahut hi acche dost hain, uski shaadi ke din hi unki maut ho gayi, aur phir Lakshmu puttar ki shadi tut gayi, aur phir jab tujhse uski shadi hui, toh uske chacha Gurucharan bhiraji ne poore gaon main mithai banti thi" He reveals, making Rishi tear up

They once again leave to meet Lakshmi, and this time, Rishi was determined and drove really fast

He finally reached the location, there was a well built wooded hut with hay on the roof, there were a couple of cot (charpai) near it outside the hut with villiage members were sitting

Gurucharan chacha came outside to serve Shalu and Bani food, and saw them standing there, his anger increased and seeing his eyes filled with rage, Shalu and Bani looked back and were in for a shock

Shalu hadn't talked with Rishi at all after Lakshmi told her not to, so how did he find them

Gurucharan went to face Rishi, but before doing anything, he grabbed his arm and dragged him inside

Once inside, he proceeded his hand to slap him, but restrained himself

"Are chodo, tum toh mere thapad ke bhi kaabil nahi ho, thapad toh apno ko maara jaata hai, par tumne jo meri Lakshmi puttar ke saath kiya, uske baad tu mere liye kuch nahi lagta" He roars, pushing him back

"Chacha ji, sorry, mujhe sirf aik baar Lakshmi se baat karni hai, please. usse bula dijiye" He requests, only to be slapped by Lakshmi's nani

She had heard what Rishi had done with Lakshmi despite anyone telling her

"Sharam nahi aayi tujhe, are, meri phool daisy bachi ko tod diya tune, are hasna bhool gayi hai woh, na baat krti hai, na khati hai acche se, uski parchayee jaisy nikli hui ho, aisa lagta hai" She roars, and hearing her scream, Shalu and Bano come inside, along with half of the villiage members

Shalu and Bani try to get rid of them, but they don't listen

"Lakshmi kahan hai?" Rishi asks once again, tearing up
