Oronno's P.O.V

I see Rahi's father and her aunt sitting outside the operation theatre. I think of going to them and ask how she is now. But i couldn't gather enough courage.

She was just thinking of doing something. I uselessly got involved and made Shakil and Rahi meet. It was all my fault.

Lord! This was all my fault and Rahi was blaming herself all these time. I am the one who deserves to suffer. If the police can't catch them i would seriously die in guilt.

Suddenly i feel someone shaking my hands intensely.
I stop thinking to look who that is.

I look behind me and see Aria with a weird expression on her face. I don't know what that is. Maybe she is surprised, maybe shocked, but it is seemingly a expression of disbelief.

Following her sight i look at the Television set of the hospital.

Isn't it Shakil? He got caught? How? This fast?

I take my phone and call Ms Hasan.

"Hello."

"Hello, Ma'am I am Oronno."

"Yes. Oronno. I saw. Shakil got caught. It's the same Shakil of yours, isn't it?"

"Yes. But how did this happen?"

" I don't know. The operation was actually run by my brother. What a coincidence. It is good anyways right?"

I suddenly feel like my tongue got tied. I can't speak a word. I need to tell her that Rahi is in the hospital.

" Ma'am actually something happened."

"What is it? Tell Rahi to watch the TV. All the kids are rescued and are in safe hands. They will be treated well there at the Rehabilitation centre. They will be fine and after all these troubles there is a good side of this whole incident. They kids have got the Government's attention now. There were a lot of kids and they were in fact captivated by human traffickers. A really a big mess those peoples were trying to create but thank god they got caught. So hopefully they will be fine eventually. You all don't have to worry anymore."

"Ma'am, Rahi jumped off the roof."

"What!"

"Now i don't know what's going to happen. I am in the hospital. She is in the OT. I can't talk to her parents. I am afraid." My voice cracked.

"Hey Oronno. Don't cry. She will be fine. I think i should come. Text me the adress."

"Okay. "

I hang up the phone and look at the direction where Rahi's guardians are sitting. Her dad already have seen me. He is looking towards me.

He has something is his eyes for me. I don't understand if it is hatred or disgust! But it sure isn't something good.

I couldn't hold back anymore and i run towards them. I stand there for a while. Finally I speak," Uncle i am sorry. It is all my fault. I should never have got involved in Rahi's life i am sorry. I just want to see her. Please let me see her when she is out of the OT."

Third person's P.O.V

Rahi's Fupi furiously rushed to catch Oronno by his collar but Rahi's father stops her. He says with an emotionless voice," It is just no one here is to be blamed. Rahi was so lonely in her life and she was different. I gave her freedom but she needed me too i didn't notice that. It is just a big invisible gap has been created between me and my daughter. She is young and she thinks everyone is like her. Simple and Honest. She didn't know how the world is. It may sound rude but you all are some immature kids with really really big heart," he chuckles and continues," You are not to be blamed my son. It is alright that Rahi got a friend like you and that girl Aria too."

Oronno is mesmerised with his words. He suddenly feels immense respect towards this middle aged man who was lonely in life just like the rest of us.

The society and its rules has made all of us lonely and hollow at some point of our life.

Rahi's father stops and the atmosphere become quiet again.

Aria has been standing there silently from the start. She has guilt in her eyes too but she is amazed. She is thinking how people differs. How her dad was and how Rahi's father is. She feels jealous, once again. And immediately she regrets. It is like a war is her mind. She loves Rahi. She loves that she has a good family. She regrets that she left her back then at that place that day. But she had her reasons. She tries her best to make her mother happy but she is never happy. She has the best result unlike Rahi but Ornno talks about Rahi and not about Aria all the time. That isn't fare. Is it ? Why is there so much pressure in her life ? Why? She is a girl with a good heart but why is she treated so badly by her mother and everyones else? She feels neglected. She was lonely too. But above everything she knows that it isn't Rahi's fault after all. She wants to apologise to her dearest friend. She doesn't know why though.

Everyone has their stories. Reasons behind why they do what they do.

Suddenly the doctor came out of the operation theatre and approaches towards the small group of people who are wishing Rahi to live.

Because they have a lot of things to tell Rahi. They love her. Even though her fupi was pathetic but it was her milieu that made her like that. She also wants Rahi to live. It is just fate that everything wrong happened. And everything is alright now. The kids that Rahi loves with all her heart are in safe hands and Shakil got caught too. Isn't that fate as well?

Rahi you just could have talked to me. They say everything happens for a reason. Maybe Shakil was ought to get caught that's why we met . You and I then Shakil and I and Shakil and you. It is just fate maybe. You could have just kept patience for a little while. Because you are loved and you are amazing. You didn't know that. Please you need to survive just to know that all of us love you. Your mom won't take you to her so fast, will she? She won't. She too knows that even though angels live up there in heaven but this earth needs angels too. I really need to tell you Rahi. I love you.

Hello guys,
How are you all? So this book is coming to an end.
Maybe one more chapter and an epilogue is left. I decided to end this book because i have been writing this book for a really long time. And i can't update regularly too. I have been reading some incomplete stories on wattpad lately and my realisation is that readers loose interest if a story is too long or the writer doesn't update regularly. I want this book to be a good one. So, i guess that would be the best for the book.

I hope you enjoy this chapter and don't forget to give your feedback . It would help me in future to improve my writing style. I am really sorry of there are flaws and mistakes. Thanks for your constant support. I love ya all.
