Ch-1.3

She slapped him and said, "Yeh Soneya kaun hai? Aur yeh awaragardi kahin aur jaake karo!"
("Who is this Soneya? And take your nonsense somewhere else!")

He apologized to her like a gentleman, looking down and saying, "Sorry Miss Shehzadi, ab please maan bhi jao na..."
("Sorry, Princess... now please forgive me.")

"Mera rasta chhoro, mujhe jaana hai," she said and tried to push him with her left hand on his chest.
("Let me go, I have to leave.")

His heart skipped a beat for a second. Suddenly, he held her wrist and said, "Aise na tarsaao hume... Kya pata kal hum rahein na..."
("Don't torture me like this... Who knows if I'll even be here tomorrow...")

She immediately blocked his mouth with her hand and, with tears in her eyes, said, "Aapko hamari kasam, aisa na kahiye..."
("I swear on me, please don't say such things...")

"Phir kyun tarsa rahi ho mujhe?" he replied.
("Then why are you making me suffer?")

"Abhi mujhe ghar jaane do..." she said.
("Let me go home now...")

"Aa jao, tumhe... mera, sorry... hamara ghar le chalu," he said with a smirk.
("Come, I'll take you to my—sorry, our—home.")

"Kya matlab?" she replied.
("What do you mean?")

"Wahan jahan tum shaadi ke baad rahogi, yaani mere ghar mein," he said.
("The place where you'll live after marriage—my home.")

"Hey Bhagwan..." she said.
("Oh God...")

"Anjali..." her friend called her from a few meters behind Harshit.

"Aa rahi hoon..." ("Yeah, coming,") she said, then turned to leave. But suddenly, she felt someone pulling on her saree from behind. When she turned, she saw that her saree was stuck in his bike.

"Isse bhi abhi fasna tha..." she said in a low voice, feeling awkward.
("Of all times, this had to get stuck now...")

She walked toward him and tried to remove her saree from Harshit's bike.

"May I help you, my Princess?" he asked, looking at her.

"Ummh... I can do it by myself," she replied.

Meanwhile, he removed her saree from his bike, then said,
"Tumhari saree toh bike se nikal gayi, par dil se kaise nikalu tumhe?"
("Your saree may be free from the bike, but how do I free you from my heart?")

She said nothing and left the place in a luxurious car.

Harshit went home and was searching for something to eat in the fridge. He found his mom and dad talking with someone in his brother's room.

When he entered, he saw Bhuwan wearing a black shirt and grey pants, sitting with his mom and dad.
"Bhaiyaaaa............" he shouted with excitement and hugged his elder brother tightly.

Meanwhile, a cute 2-year-old child wearing royal blue pants and a white shirt said to Bhuwan in a blurry, childish voice, "Chachu, mujhe ghal jaana hai ab. Pleeease, aap mujhe mele ghar chhol do na."
("Uncle, I want to go home now. Please take me to my home.")

"My cutie pie... Rudra!" Harshit teased the child.

"Dekhiye, yeh meleko aise bol lahe hain," Rudra said to Bhuwan.
("Look, he's teasing me like that!")

"Aa jao, hum dono ghoomne jaate hain," Bhuwan said to the child.
("Come on, let's go out together.")

"Yaaayyy!" Rudra said with excitement.

They both left the room. Bhuwan took a car from the parking area of their building, and they went to a café.

There, Bhuwan once again saw Farhana. She was sitting with a girl about 21 years old. Farhana was wearing a black kurti set, a lab coat, and had her hair tied in a ponytail. They were chatting while eating snacks.

Bhuwan looked down to check on Rudra but noticed he wasn't around.

He started searching and found Rudra sitting on Farhana's lap, talking to her.

Bhuwan walked toward them and called, "Rudra!"

Rudra looked at Bhuwan and said, "Uncle see, I found my Chachi for you," while pointing at Farhana.
("Uncle, look! I found your future wife!")

"Arey, aise nahi bolte hai, Rudra," Farhana said to him.
("Oh no, don't say that, Rudra.")

"Okay, bye-bye, mujhe ghal jaana hai," Rudra said to Farhana.
("Okay, bye-bye, I have to go home now.")

"Bye," Farhana said, and Rudra left with Bhuwan.

Bhuwan dropped Rudra home, then picked up his mom. They went to Max Super Speciality Hospital, Dehradun, for her check-up.

While Bhuwan was at the billing counter, he was shocked to learn the name of his mom's doctor — Dr. Farhana Parvin.

"Hey..." came a voice from behind. Bhuwan turned and saw an elegant man in a white shirt and black formal pants.

"Hello... Aarsh, how are you?" Bhuwan asked.

"Well... I'm fine, thanks," Aarsh replied.

"So, what are you doing here?" Bhuwan asked.

"Actually, today is my Grandpa's heart surgery. He's in the OT right now. I just came to buy some medicines," Aarsh explained.

"Oh... I hope he'll be okay," Bhuwan said.

"Yeah, hope so. We'll meet soon—actually, I should go now," Aarsh said.

"Yeah, sure. Take care," Bhuwan replied as Aarsh left.

Aarsh bought the medicines and went to wait outside the OT. A doctor came out of the room.

Aarsh asked, "Is everything okay?"

The doctor replied, "I'm sorry to say, but he's in a very risky condition. We can't say anything right now. Please keep praying."

Hearing this, Aarsh sat down on a chair in the corridor, feeling completely broken.

Meanwhile, Bhuwan and his mom reached Farhana's room, where she was checking her patients. Suddenly, her phone rang, and she left the room without saying a word.

She returned two minutes later and said, "I'm sorry, Ma'am, but it's an emergency case and I need to handle it. Please book your appointment for the next day."
