"How dare you lie to me!" Randheer angrily pushed Nishant down the stairs.

"Calm down sahab," said Ahem in an effort to stop him.

"I trusted you both!" yelled Randheer,"how dare you! If Amrit is in prison, then how come she was here? I saw her......I.........."

"She.......she must have escaped....." said Nishant in a shivering voice.

"Stop lying you..........." said Randheer grabbing him by his collar.

AMRIT'S HOSTEL

Amrit rushed into her room and locked the door. She fell onto the floor sobbing. Everything was too overwhelming for her. But she was grateful that Randheer had not recognised her.

BUT................................................

"He threw away our ring," she said," he wanted to get engaged to someone else. He wanted to marry a wealthy Britisher's daughter............He.........betrayed me, he broke my trust............Thats why he never came to Lahore again. I............"

"Its not his fault," she said wiping her tears," we were kids at that time. I should have known better. I dont blame him. But it still hurts..........."

RAIZADA MANSION

"Now!......" said Randheer threatening the two men," I want nothing but the truth. One word of lie and I will cut your throats right here."

BAIG MANZIL, LAHORE

MORNING 6 AM

Vashma sat in her aangan brushing her freshly washed hair. Almost everyone im her house was asleep. The housemaid Fatima was taking milk from the milkman, her Abbu's trainee was studying some notes sitting on the terrace, some women were going to visit the temple and so was the morning going on in Lahore.

"Fatima appa............." Vashma called out to her," hamari chaye le ayengi?"

"Ji laayi," Fatima replied.

"Oye Vashma........" she was stunned on hearing Uday's voice.

"Oye," she said spotting Uday hiding in one of the corners," what are you doing here?"

"That Farukh is coming today," he said,"and I am here to execute my plan. Now listen to me.........................."

Uday explained Vashma his plan and gave her the necessary instructions.

OM NIVAS 10 AM

"Farukh miya is coming to see our Vashma," Lalaji said to his wife Rajrani,"I would have loved to go there to welcome him but keeping Amrit's actions in mind, its better for us to maintain distance from them. I pray that our Vashma gets a good husband and happy life."

"And what about my Rajnibala veerji,"said Mogar walking into the room," uske vyah ki toh kisi ko nahi padi."

"Oye chup kar...." Lalaji scolded her,"I spoke to Veer Sahab's family last night. Though they are extremely angry with us, but they are smart businessmen. They know that an alliance with our family is going to be profitable for their business. They are willing to get Veer Sahab married to Rajnibala."

"Rab, rab rab rab rab........" said Mogar beaming with joy," Sach veerji....ek aap hi toh hain jo meri bachi ke baare mein sochte hain............................."

Meanwhile, Uday was busy ironing his clothes. He wiped off his wet hair with a clean towel and wore his new kurta.

"Rab, rab rab rab rab......... " said Mogar peeking into his room," Itna tyar shyar hoke kithe jaa raha hai?"

"Mehmanon ke swagat mein jaa raha hoon bua," he replied," doctor sahab has called me to welcome Farukh miya."

BAIG MANZIL

"But why did you call Uday?" Abrar asked Dr. Baig.

"There is a lot of work to be done Abrar. Our guests deserve a perfect welcome. Farukh miya is a hockey lover too. I am sure that he would love to chat with Uday."

"Sahi keh rahe hain doctor sahab," said Uday walking into the house," Farukh miya ke swagat mein koi kami nahi rehni chahiye."

Dr. Baig smiled and left.

"Uday......." said Abrar in a threatening voice," dont you dare do any mischief today."

Uday smiled and began arranging the trays full of sweets on the table.
