No!

This cannot happen--I cannot let Anupamaa enter my house otherwise she will find out about me.

UGH! I cannot even hate her--I cannot even say ugly words to her all because of her upbringing.

Sanskaar na chhoro--bhale hi pran jaaye-

And as far as Abhira's matter is concerned--Anupamaa was the one closest to her.

''Thik hai--aap aa sakti hain Anupamaa ji''

I said.

Abhira's eyes showed signs of new hope.

''Thank you so much- Sumedh sir''

I nodded.

''Tai thak tai thak tai Shobna! tumhare pair thik se nahi jaarahe hain-- thoda slow karo steps''

It was the last day of practice--the annual fest was day after tomorrow.

Mahi and the other school girls plead me to stop.

I sigh.

Well a  taking a short break was not breaking the sync.

Tired and exhausted--I sit on the chair and drink some water.

''Dimpy mam!'' It was Mahi.

''What happened Mahi?'' I stand up alarmed.

''Koi uncle--zameen par pade huye hain aur unke haathon se khoon aaraha hai''

I instantly run and see from the window.

A man dressed in a black shawl was lying near the garbage bin.

I hesitate at first  but I go to see him.

''No, you all stay here--and yes no one will move from their places and keep a phone in hand--incase''

I come downstairs and see the man. I go closer to him.

Mustering up courage I kneel down and I try to touch him.

HE WAS BREATHING.

HE WAS ALIVE.

The man grabs my hand as I try to stand up.

''Please...save me from them mam..Please...I am not a bad per..son..''

And he faints but his grip on my hand was still tight.

''Dimpy what happened?'' It was Kavya aunty.

''Aunty! You here?''

''I just came to see the performance--what happened? And who is that man?''

''Aunty help me--he has fainted. He is wounded too''
