Imp— I've only published half of the chapter compared to the stck. (83. A Kiss in Front of the Crowd). So, if anyone plans to purchase the next chapter, don't skip directly to it. Instead, purchase this chapter to maintain the balance. The remaining word count is substantial, so rest assured, your money won't be wasted.

THIRD PERSON

Banaras—

The Next Morning -
Maya was standing in front of the dressing table, muttering angrily under her breath.

"What do he think of himself, continuing to do as he please. I clearly said I don't want to talk to him, with his so much of over possessiveness, so why do he keep bringing me tokens of his love."

As Maya said this, she angrily tossed her hair, and suddenly, something came to her mind. She immediately picked up her phone and sent a message to someone.
Afterwards, a strange expression crossed her face.

Some Time Later -
Someone Knocked on Rukmani's room door.

"Come in." Rukmani called out.

Maya entered.

Seeing Maya, Rukmani asked, "Maya? What happened? Is there something urgent?"

Sitting next to Rukmani, Maya said, "How are you feeling now?"

"I'm fine now. Tell me, you seem quite troubled?" Rukmani was little ill.

She observed Maya's face closely.

"Yes, um, I needed to talk to you about something important." Maya said.

"Yes, tell me."

"I... I need to go somewhere." Maya placed her hand on Rukmani's.

"There's something in my life, for which I've sacrificed everything." Maya's voice was full of despair.

"But what is it, dear?" Rukmani became concerned.

"I can't tell you. Because... walls have ears, Dadi Thakur. And this time, I can't afford to make a mistake." Maya was quite scared.

"But Maya, Abhay..."

"Please Dadi Thakur. I'm just asking you for one last thing. I can't tell anyone about this, I mean... anyone." Maya's behavior made Rukmani think deeply.

After thinking for a while, Rukmani said, "Alright. Wherever you need to go, you can go. I trust you, but... promise me, you won't let any harm come to yourself."

A smile came to Maya's lips. "Never."

She hugged Rukmani gently, "Even after everything, you still trust me."

Rukmani gently placed her hand on Maya's back and said, smiling, "Yes, because abhay trusts you!"

As soon as Maya heard Abhay's name from Rukmani's mouth, her smile became even more bright. Apart from their 'khatti Meethi' Fight, she knows that what Abhay actually did to her. And this made her heart overwhelmed with raw emotions.

She moved away from Rukmani slowly and said, "I'm leaving. Hmm?"

As she said this and was about to leave, Rukmani grabbed her wrist and said, "What answer will you give to Abhay when he asks why you left?"

"I won't let him find out about this." After saying this, Maya walked out of the room, leaving Rukmani watching her leave.

Other Side -
Abhay was with his men discussing something important when suddenly Shankar rushed to him and whispered something in his ear that made Abhay shout in anger, "She shouldn't go anywhere, understand."
