"Bihaan" she sighs under her breath. She was still in his embrace. Holding her breath and struggling to think about the awkwardness. She would have consoled him if they were still sharing that bond. But no.... The time has changed and so are they.

He realises his position all sudden and releases her from his embrace. "I'm...sorry" He says standing up to hide his embarrassment from her. The awkwardness was enough to kill them.

"Bihaan..." she places her hand on his shoulder. He turns. "We should get out of this forest first!" she advices. "This might be trick of any of your enemy!" says she. "Oh yes" He smirks. "Yes yes yes.... My enemy!!" He glares. "Interestingly my enemy is advising me!!" He taunts. She shot a fuming glare. "So am I" she spats.

"Fine. For the very first and last time I'm agreeing to you!" He informs holding her arms tightly. "But remember darling... I still hate you..." He hisses tucking her hair behind her ear. "I hate you more." she hisses and pushes his chest.

They departs outside of forest. She was satisfied at least for now! It was evening when they reached at their residance.

"Sir... You should not have gone inside." says one of his bodyguards. "Stop your nonsense and tell me where is Dad?" He asks. Everyone remains silent which tenses him a bit. "I'm asking something." He yells.

"Bihaan relax." a familiar voice stops him to yell more. "Arjun!!" He was glad. They hugged each other. "Don't worry Bihaan.... Police will definitely find uncle!" Arjun says patting on Bihaan's shoulder. "What do you mean by that?" worried Bihaan asks. Everyone remains silent. "What had happened? Where is he?" He yells.

"Sir.... Day before yesterday he... Secretly has gone towards the forest.... And didn't yet returned" informs one of the bodyguards. "You should have stopped him!" Thapki yells. "Ma'am actually I offered him security..... But he ordered us not to follow him" replies the bodyguard. "Get lost right now" He orders his employees. Within a minute Thapki, Arjun and Bihaan was left.

"Bihaan listen.... We'll leave this country in the very next morning." says Arjun. Bihaan remains silent as all three of them enters inside their respective rooms.

It was dinner time while Arjun has kept his best contact from all the legal authorities to find Mr. Rathore anyhow. But wasn't worth it at all.

Bihaan kept his room close all this while. Meanwhile Thapki has confirmed Mrs. Rathore about her involvement which she purely denied.

"Ask him to have some meal.... He's starving till morning." she informs Arjun who was busy with his laptop. Her words make him turn to her. "Really?" He asks. She nodes up and down hesitantly. "It is just so difficult to understand you both." He fumes getting up of his chair. "You both hate each other and care as well!!" says he glaring at her. "I.. I don't care. It was just for the sake of humanity" she shrugs departing back to her room.

It's an horrible night..... Thapki moves denser inside the forest..... "Come on kill me...." she yells in a challenging voice. "Can you hear me......" she was louder. All sudden a weird gesture comes in front of her.

"No....." she gets up only to realize it was a dream. Her forehead wet while her body was shivering in fear. She realises herself on couch and thinks to depart herself on bed after a glass of water. She gets out of the room towards kitchen.

It was midnight. The house was silent now. Arjun has slept in the drawing room with his laptop. Thapki has slept on couch thinking about Mr. Rathore. But Bihaan's room was still closed.

"Has he even slept!!" She was worried about him. "Bihaan...." she knocks carefully not to break Arjun's slumber. "Bihaan...." the door opens a little from her pushes. "It wasn't locked!!" she wonders entering inside. The room was messy. The bed sheets and blankets were thrown on floor. Her heart sinks in pain. There he was sitting on study chair resting his on table with his arms covering and supporting his face at the same time. She slowly steps towards him placing her hand on his shoulder. He didn't reacts anything.

She caresses his hair while he sighs turning his face to her. Eyes still closed in slumber meanwhile she notices his eyelids still wet of tears. "I can't wake him up.... It looks like he slept just a while before." she thinks when suddenly her glance caught at off laptop. "Discharged!!" she sighs. A bowl half filled up of soup was kept away on other table. At least he has finished half of the soup!

"Good Night" she turns to leave when he catches her hand. "She'll....kill me.... Keep the fire.... Away....." He murmurs panicking in sleep. "Sshhhh.... Everything is fine...." she keeps caressing. "Fire.... There's.... Fire...." He blabbers. It will create a trouble for her if Arjun finds them at this point of time! After few caresses the sleep grabs him again. "Good Night" she removes his already loosened clutch from her wrist.

She rushes to kitchen with a tear escaping out of her eyes. The situations would have been better if their relationship was like before! But now.... Apart from hatred they can't pretend anything towards each other. She cries while all their beautiful moments plays in front of her. They were so close yet so far. He should have been loyal towards her! They wanted to give immense pain to each other but was themselves unable to see pain for each other. "I'm here only for my revenge!" She wipes her tears. "I'm not weak.." she sighs pulling out a chilled water bottle. "He will be punished!" her voice was stern while she keeps pouring out the water in glass.

She calls her friend Nisha to divert her mind out of everything. But the call left her dissappointed as well. Nisha was unable to track about any of her and his enemies who can scare Ms. Thapki Mittal!

She passes by his room to reach hers while she thinks to glance at him once again. So slowly she enters inside the room. And to her surprise he wasn't in his room! She checks all over the house but doesn't finds him. "Bihaan..... Bihaan is missing!" she speaks louder while shaking Arjun. "What are you saying!!" He gets up all hearing her screams. "Bi...Bihaan....is....is..... Missing!!!!!!!!!!!"
