Savi was shaking. Her head was a mess. Her heart was pounding like a never-ending cycle of drums beating. She was afraid. She was mortified. She was horrified. Ishaan Sir, her Ishaan Sir was risking his life. He was fighting Bhairav Patil. Bhavar Patil who has a gun pointed at Ishaan. Savi was frozen. Her heart ceased by indescribable fear. Her muscles were locked in shock. No! Not Ishaan Sir! She cannot lose him too! After losing her family, he has become her true solace. She cannot imagine a day, a world, and a life without Ishaan Bhosale in it.

"Ishaan Sir!!" Savi found herself screaming out. She sounded desperate. She sounded anguished. She sounded broken. Savi was pleading for a miracle. Ishaan briefly glanced at her. His eyes, beautiful brown orbs, were glinting. Full of love, adoration, and bravery. He was brave to save his love. He was brave to save his family. He was brave to save his students and staff. But he was brave because of Savi. Savi.... He was foolish to realise too late that it was Savi who matters the most to him. Not his promise. Not his blood relations.

Savi choked on a sob. Ishaan smiled softly at her. He wanted to shout to the world what he had hidden in his heart. On the face of death, he is not a coward anymore. He doesn't care about anything else anymore. Only Savi. He needs only Savi. He needs her to know how he feels. How he truly feels. "Savi...." He started in a gentle voice, his eyes suddenly brimming with tears. He felt a surge of emotions sweep him under their tide. He felt breathless. He took a deep breath, and exhaled, "Savi.." Savi cried, unable to stop her weeping heart.

"Aeiy! Shut your tramp mouth or else I am gonna shoot!" Bhavar threatened. He took off the safety of the gun. The Bhosale family screamed in panic. Savi moved forward, on instincts, a feeble action to save Ishaan. Bhavar fired in the air above. People screamed. Savi clenched her eyes tight. She was heaving. Slowly, afraid to see the blood of her beloved, she opened her eyes. She stumbled in relief, Ishaan was fine. For now.

"Savi..." Ishaan called out to her, as if her name was a prayer. As if he didn't hear Bhavar's threat. As if he didn't care about his life. Savi felt a sob lodge in her throat. Ishaan smiled at her, his cute, caring and loving smile, "Savi, I am in love with you." Savi felt her breath hitch. She gasped inaudibly, her hand flying to rub against her chest. Her heart was burning. Her heart was fluttering. Her heart felt liberating. Those words..... the heartfelt confession.... the unbridled love shining in those brown orbs...took her breath away. Savi's mouth twisted in a smile despite the sobs leaving her throat. She nodded, she cried, and she rejoiced. Ishaan grinned, "I love you. I love you, Savi. I love you so much. So damn much that...it hurts." Ishaan rubbed his chest where his heart resides. Savi understood his feelings. She was feeling the same burn in her chest.

"Jamayla! Shut the fuck up! I love Savi, master! Not you!! You can never love her like I do!! Saviji is mine!!" Bhavar roared, his eyes turning red and hard around the edges. Ishaan faced him, glaring, "yes, I can never love her like you do. Because you are obsessed with her. And I am..." Ishaan faced Savi and announced, "devoted to her. Like lord Shiva to mata Parvati. She is my ardhangini. She is my other half." Savi covered her mouth with her hand and cried like a baby. Oh, Ishaan sir...! I love you too!

"Aeiy!!!" Bhavar, blinded by utter rage, yanked Ishaan towards himself by the collar and fumed, "Saviji is a devi, I know. I knew it before you did, master. I will worship her. I will love her. But I will get her. Not you!! Me! Just me! Go die!!!" Bhavar pushed Ishaan away and fired the gun. Savi screamed in utter horror, "Ishaan Sir!!!" Surekha and Isha cried out Ishaan's name, their heart in mouth. Shantanu and Yashwanth rushed forward in panic and fear, shouting Ishaan's name. Chinmay, holding Shikha by his side, felt his heart stop, no! Ishaan! His brother! Every person present stilled in shock and screamed for Ishaan. Their gazes held terror and fear.

Ishaan, smiling despite the pain, fell on the floor, blood oozing out of his shoulder like a waterfall. Savi ran towards him, eyes wide like a saucer, "no! Ishaan Sir!" Bhavar laughed like a maniac, "stop crying, Saviji. Master deserved to die." Savi pressed on the wound, her hands staining with Ishaan's blood. Isha and Surekha ran to her side, holding Ishaan, and cried, "Ishaan!" "Ishu!" Shantanu, Yashwant, Nishikant, Chinmay, Anvi, Dhurva, Asmita, and Harini surrounded Ishaan who was unconscious and bleeding. They cried, feeling devastated. Savi, crying, patted Ishaan's cheek, "Ishaan Sir! Open your eyes! Look at me! You cannot leave me like everyone else, like my family! You c-cannot die! I-Ishaan S-sir!!!"

Bhavar pointed his gun at Savi's head and held her elbow, "enough with the drama, Saviji. Now, get up. You are coming with me." Savi stilled. She felt her blood boil. She was devastated and destroyed. Her Ishaan Sir was bleeding, fighting for his life because of this demon. Savi stood up, fire in her eyes, "how dare you..." Bhavar narrowed his eyes, "what?" Savi jerked off his hand roughly and pushed him so hard that he fell on his back, "HOW DARE YOU!!!"

Bhavar blinked up at Savi, surprised. Savi held him by the collar and jerked him, "how dare you shoot my Ishaan Sir! He is my life! I am going to kill you for harming him!!" In a blink, Savi snatched the gun out of Bhavar's hold and pointed it at him. Everyone gasped in surprise. Bhavar froze, panicked eyes cautiously watching a fuming Savi. He carefully told her, "put the gun down, Saviji. This is not funny." Livid, Savi sneered down at him, "you shot my Ishaan Sir. I am not going to let you live for that!!" Savi was about to press the trigger when police came bolting inside the room and pointed their guns on all the goons and immediately arrested them. DSP sir held Savi's hand and took the gun out of her hold, "Savi, control yourself. We will take care of this Bhavar." Police held up Bhavar who was handcuffed. They were taking him away when Savi stood before him and spat on his face, "fucking rot in hell, rakshas!"

Savi immediately ran to Ishaan's side who was laid on a stretcher and was being taken out of the hall. She held his hand and ran behind the medics, "Ishaan sir!" Her pleads were heart breaking. She took off to the hospital along with Harini and Bhosale family. Reeva and her parents were also with them.
