Author's POV

(In the Khan's warehouse)

Aryan : Abbu! Everything is set. Once these blasts are over, I'll reveal Jaswant's intentions before the public, and will frame the Muslims as victims of oppression.

Amjad : Fine! That stupid Niharika would be dead by then. I want you to slaughter each Thakur man, and we will kidnap their daughter-in-laws. They are beautiful, and that eldest one is so young. She would be so good on the bed.

Aryan : I am also waiting to have my chance on her, Abbu. We will ruin their honour for sure, exactly like we've fucked Niharika.

Amjad : I have an idea to grab that Mandakini. I want her ruined and dead so that we can avenge Kashinath wholly.

Balraj POV

(after a month of betrayal)

The words that I had uttered to her on that day, still haunt me like a nightmare. How could I stoop so low? I love her, I do!

But what she did to me has broken me all over again. My baby Ragini isn't with me, else she could have handled me beautifully. My mother is trying her best to send me back to my babygirl, but I cannot tolerate another heartbreak.

Jai remains busy these days, and I don't bother him much. I am left alone. All alone, exactly like I was two years ago. How do I tell her that thus separation kills me more than anyone else. I'm dying in bits.

I've reduced to a breathing corpse in the past one month. Simply conducting rallies for my party, and being a dutiful politician. I don't have a life of my own. Ma had tried to explain the situation to me, but I've turned deaf to all the voices. She remains sick these days.

Loneliness, Emptiness and Betrayal - they are devouring in gradually from inside. My face has started turning pale, unlike when it was when I used to laugh with my babygirl.

Why did you do this to me, my Priye?

God knows where everyone had disappeared all of a sudden. There was a defeaning silence in the mansion as if someone's death was creeping into the walls of it. The eerie quietness of the surroundings was troubling me from within.

To divert my mind from the agony that was inevitable, I walked to the balcony. My feet trembled and I realised how badly I'm depriving myself of nutrients in the last few weeks.

"What did you do to bhabhi?"

Jai walked in, as I picked up the shower to water the plants.

"What she deserved!"

I replied in a cold tone. I can't let them how broken I'm again.

"Are you out of your mind, bhaiya. She is pregnant with your child. I went out for a few days and this is what you did."

Pregnant? What the hell he just say? I sat up immediately in response. My eyes widened with shock.

"Pregnant?"

I pivoted my head into his direction in urgency.

"Don't tell me she didn't tell you. And what have you done to yourself. You are turning pale. Where is my 'lion' brother?"

Jai's eyes moistened as he uttered these words, and ran to me, hiding his head in my chest.

"Please bhaiya, not again. I can't afford losing anyone of you. I'll die. I love you and love bhabhi. Please unite again."
