Pragya awoke with a jerk, it was as if someone had called her name, telling her to come to them. Pragya looked around sleepily, wondering who had called her. And then went to check on Prachi and Shahana to see if they were okay.

When Pragya reached their bedroom, she was relieved to find both Prachi and Shahana peacefully asleep. Pragya went inside to cover them up with blankets better, laying a kiss on both of their foreheads.

"Why did I feel like someone called me? Who could it be?" Pragya said thinking out loud, once she was outside of Prachi and Shahana's room.

"It must've been my imagination." Pragya concluded.

Pragya then headed towards the kitchen, to start cooking breakfast even though it was 4 am, knowing that sleep wouldn't come if she tried going back to bed again.

Abhi who had fallen into a restless sleep, listening to music, too, awoke with a jerk. It was like some had called his name. Abhi lifts his head off the headboard, his neck protesting at the movement. Abhi wondered who had called him, thinking that it was Riya, he went to check on her.

When Abhi reached Riya's room he smiled at how she was sleeping. Half on the bed, half off of it, her blanket thrown to the floor. Abhi settled Riya on the bed so she wouldn't fall off, laying a pillow by her just in case, and covered her with the blanket, laying a kiss on her forehead.

"Why did I think that someone called me? Who was it?" Abhi said thinking out loud, once he was outside Riya's room.

"It was probably my imagination." Abhi concluded.

Abhi then headed back to his room, to look at papers for today's meeting, knowing that sleep wouldn't come again. As Abhi walked towards his room, he didn't hear Riya mumble something in her sleep.

"Dark... help... bad woman.... basement... chains.... Mr. Bear.... she will kill... di.. Kiara di... she killed... killed... Kiara di..." Riya mumbled in her sleep, sweat pooling on her forehead.

Riya thrashed around in her sleep and ended up falling down the bed, even with a pillow in her way.

"Not again, Riya." Riya said waking up on the floor after her fall, seemingly forgetting all about her dream. Thankfully, the pillow had broken her fall, because it fell with her as she fell.

Riya got the pillow out from under her putting it under her head and going back to sleep on the floor because she was too disoriented and tired to get back on the bed.

Elsewhere a dark figure of a woman was sitting on a rocking chair, rocking back and forth in the dark, looking at a large picture on the wall, that was also concealed by darkness.

"Mumma Diwali is over." The dark figure said to the picture on the wall.

"You once told me that Diwali is the day that light overcomes the dark. But when we were little we didn't even have light at our house at Diwali, let alone money for fireworks or new clothes." The dark figure said as a few tears leaked out of her eyes.

"But not to worry, Diwali is over, and this new day only brings light for us. But utter darkness for the Mehras who are the cause of our suffering." The dark figure said wiping away her tears and smirking.

"All my pieces have fallen into place. Abhishek Mehra will never try to win his wife back because of his guilt. Pragya Arora will never come back to him because of her self-respect. Purab Khanna will never cross his limits with his own wife because of his promise. Alia Mehra is too scared too even touch her own husband because of that night. Their marriage is a joke to marriages everywhere." The figure said smirking evily.

"Riya Mehra is too broken to even understand what's going on, after all she lost her lover. Prachi Arora hates her own twin sister. Sisters who shared one womb, can't even stand to be in one room." The figure said laughing diabolicaly.

"Kiara is dead. So is Dadi, but that is not my fault huh. That woman was old, she had to die one day, didn't she?" The figure said in a sadistic joking manner.

"Anyway, my last piece has reached its target. He has come back, and that too to destroy his own family. I don't even have to lift a finger." The figure said laughing.

"These Mehras will destroy each other and all I have to do is watch the show." The figure said claping and laughing insanely.

"Then and only then would we get our revenge. Only after the Mehras destruction will we get our justice." The figure said with determination, standing up to go to the picture, and storking the picture lovingly, with a crazed look in her eyes.
