"Why is Neeraj behind you? What does he want from you?" he asked.
"He was behind Mini for shelter as no one was giving shelter to him after he killed his family for property, but she thought he is a good guy and he cares for her, but I was successful in keeping him away from her, but now he wants to know where Mini is," said Saanjh.
"Why does he want to meet her?" he asked.
"To make her life a hell," said Saanjh.
"But, why is he behind you, I am not getting the point," he said.
"He proposed to me, he said that he has fallen in love with me and wants to marry me, and he is saying that everyone knows what my dad did with me and no one will come forward to marry me," said Saanjh.
"Does he know that you kidnapped Sanjay a few months ago?" he asked.
"No, but he is trying to wage a war because he thinks he can win over me and he is taking our enemies' support, but I don't want to shed any blood now, our people already suffered a lot," said Saanjh.
"Abhay Shergil, he is going to become king, a very strong person, if you marry him, we can make it one on one and you can get rid of Neeraj," he said.
"Then what should I do with that guy?" asked Saanjh.
"Convince him for contract marriage, after marriage he has to defeat Neeraj and you both will be free," he said and Saanjh looked at him confused.
"Give it a thought Saanjh, anyway you are not planning on getting married, with this marriage, people will think you got married to a strong king and won't dare to attack this kingdom again," he said.
"After marriage you are going to allow me to leave and bring Sanjay back here," said Saanjh.
"He is not good, he is going to spoil everything, you worked hard to make it a good place, people are living here happily without any fear," he said.
"I haven't slept for the past five years and you know I can't live without sleep, let me go uncle, I have done everything I can do for these people, I am happy that they are happy," she said.
"Okay, you get married to him and win over that Neeraj, then we will think about it," he said and started to leave, but again turned towards her and said, "tomorrow afternoon, he will be at this location, bring him here, but don't expect me to accept him, I will pretend like he is weak, so don't get shocked," and left from there.
"What are you doing here, you weak businessman? Got scared of your death?" he asked.
"My dad used to say when one girl asks for help, either it will be a trap or she really needs help, but when I observed Saanjh, I felt like she needed help," said Abhay.
"Maybe a trap," he said.
"No, it can't be a trap, the girl who is sleepless can't lay a trap," said Abhay.
"What do you want to know?" he asked.
"What happened to her? No, what happened with her," said Abhay.
"If I tell you the truth, you won't dare to marry her, you won't even like to stand beside her," he said.
"If you don't tell me the truth, I might not marry her," said Abhay.
"She has a very dark past, she can't sleep, she has been raped for one long year, she was forced into this because she helped her friend to escape," he said and Abhay looked at him in shock.
"Now, will you dare to marry one girl who was raped? The girl who doesn't want to live?" he asked.
Abhay didn't reply anything and left from there and he sat on the bed and started crying.
