Prabha appeared somewhere in a magical place and looked at her comatose body lying on the bed. She became emotional. "Kaash mera jism mere paas hota aur main Dev ke paas hoti, usay protect karti, lekin abhi aisa ho nahi sakta, isliye main apni rooh se usay protect karoon gi," she said and felt a presence around her and turned to see fairies. "Prabha, tumhe fikar karne ki zaroorat nahi hai, abhi tum apnay jism ke saath wahan jaati toh khatray mein par jaati, isliye abhi tum bas apni aatma se usay protect karo, nazar rakho us pe," said one of the fairies named as Natkhat Pari.

Prabha nodded. "Aur jis ke paas tum jaisa jeevan saathi ho, usay fikar karne ki koi zaroorat nahi," said another fairy named as Bhatkaati pari, Prabha smiled emotionally. "Tum ko jaan'na hai tumhare jaane ke baad wahan kya hua?" said another fairy named as Atkaati pari. "Jee please, mujhe jaan'na hai woh kaisa hai," Prabha told her, she aimed her magic wand in the air and showed her the past.

Dev woke up and stretched his arms. "Pata nahi kiun lekin ab itna achha feel ho raha hai, ab woh bechaini aur pareshaani nahi ho rahi ke main possessed ho jaun ga aur Alia par attack kar doon ga, itni achhi feeling hai jaise nostalgia feel ho raha ho," he said and got up from the bed. He didn't remember anything about the massage scene neither did Alia.

He went to his cupboard and some chiffon dupattas fell from his cupboard. "Ye dupattay?" he said in a shock and gathered all of them and looked at all of them carefully. He hugged them and a tear rolled down his cheek. "Prabha," he said almost in a whisper.

Tears continuously fell from his eyes and he was lost in tears. He noticed Alia waking up and put them back in the cupboard and wiped his tears. He stood up. Alia came to him. "Kya hua bhai?" she asked. "Kuchh bhi toh nahi," he replied. "Ro rahay thay na?" she asked and he shook his head. "Main kiun roun ga?" he asked. "Cupboard mein kya dekh rahay thay? Dikhao mujhe," she said and opened the cupboard and saw the dupattas. She looked at him. "Ye dupattay? Yeh toh...," her voice trailed off as he sat on the bed and hid his tears from her. She sat beside him. "Bohat yaad aa rahi hai na un ki?" she asked and he nodded. She hugged him. "Mujhe toh pata he nahi ke woh ab hai bhi ke nahi," he said and she rubbed his back.

"Dev, main hoon, par main kaise bataun, ye jism mera saath chhor chuka hai lekin ab bhi dharkanein jaari hain, main zinda hoon lekin coma mein hoon," she said and fell on her knees cryingly. Another fairy came to her and placed her hand on her shoulder. "Prabha, ye toh Bhagwan ka faisla hai ke tum usay protect karo gi, lekin apni rooh se, tumhare jism ki raksha hum sab karengay, isay agar prithvi par chhora toh uss Neelojini aur Shivanya se khatra ho sakta hai," said the fairy named as Darri Darri pari, Prabha cried.

"Tum kaho toh hum kuchh pariyo'n ko tumhare saath bhejein gay tumhari dhaal bana kar," Bhatkaati pari said and Prabha nodded wiping her tears. "Bhejna he ho ga," she said. "Theek hai, aap ke saath Netra Pari, Suraksha Pari, Masti Pari aur Jwala Pari ko bhej dein gay," Atkaati pari said, Prabha smiled. "Shukriya, Bhagwan ki banaai har ek creation apnay tareekay se unique hai," she said and they somewhat smiled.

It was night time. Everyone were sleeping. Ruhi woke up in the midnight feeling thirsty. She got off the bed and saw that the jug was empty and so she got out of the room walking through the empty corridor and descended the stairs rubbing her eyes. Riddhima too got out of her room not being able to sleep and she also descended the stairs and sat on the couch. Ruhi drank water and came out of the kitchen and saw Riddhima sitting on the couch and sat near her. "Hi Riddhima aunty, itna jaldi aap ki good morning ho gayi kya?" Ruhi asked.

Riddhima chuckled. "No, can't sleep," she told her. "Oh, achha, agar Ruhi aap se baat karay gi na toh aap ko jhatt se neend aa jaye gi," Ruhi said and Riddhima smiled. "Achha? Woh kaise?" she asked. "Woh aisay ke Ruhi ko bohat saari bedtime stories aati hain," Ruhi told her, Riddhima giggled. "Achha jee? Chalo aaj ek story mujhe bhi suna do," she said. "Okay. Ek jagah pe hai na mother camel aur baby camel saath laitay thay. Achanak se baby camel ne poochha ke mumma main aap se kuchh sawal poochh sakta hoon, toh mumma camel ne kaha ke haan baby poochho, kya kuchh tumhe pareshaan kar raha hai? Toh baby ne poochha ke humare paas humps kiun hotay hain," Ruhi said and Riddhima listened to her feeling interested and free of worries, for the first time she smiled for real in that house.

"Hmm toh phir mumma camel kya boli?" Riddhima asked although she knew the answer already. "Mumma camel boli ke baby hum hain na desert animals hain, humein in hump ki zaroorat pani store karne ke liye hoti hai jab ke hum pani ke bagair bhi sur... Sur...," Ruhi said trying to remember the exact word.

Riddhima smiled at her cuteness. "Survive," she told her. "Haan, hum pani ke bagair bhi survive kar saktay hain, phir baby camel poochhta hai ke humare legs lambay aur pair gol kiun hain, toh mumma camel batati hain ke ye desert mein chalne mein kaam aatay hain, desert mein main sab se ziada achha move kar sakti hoon. Phir baby camel poochhta hai ke humari eyelashes itni bari bari kiun hain, kabhi kabhaar ye meri eyes ko bother karti hain," Ruhi said and Riddhima looked on waiting to know more.

"Achha? Agay kya hota hai?" she asked. "Toh mumma camel kehti hain ke ye protective cover hain, taakay ye tumhe desert ki sand aur wind se protect kar sakein, aur phir hai na baby camel bohat ziada soch kar pata hai kya poochhta hai?" Ruhi asked trying to suppress her laughter. "Kya poochhta hai woh aisa ke aap ki hassi nahi ruk rahi?" Riddhima asked also laughing with her. Ruhi palmed her mouth and laughed. "Baby camel poochhta hai ke hump paani store karne ke liye hai woh bhi desert mein rehte huay. Legs desert mein chalne ke liye hain. Ye meri eyelashes eyes ko desert ki light aur wind se protect karti hain. Toh mumma in God's name, hum yahan zoo mein kya kar rahay hain," Ruhi told her while laughing and Riddhima also laughed.

"Ruhi? Zoo mein camels? Ye toh main first time sun rahi hoon," Riddhima told her while laughing. "Main bhi bohat hassi thi jab first time ye story suni thi, aaj bhi waise he hassi aa gayi aap ko sunaatay sunaatay," Ruhi said smilingly. "Thank you for making me laugh, it feels so good, thank you bacha, mujhe toh sach mein neend aa gayi, chalo aap bhi room mein jao, main bhi soti hoon," she said and Ruhi got down the couch and she also stood up. They both ascended the stairs and parted ways to go to their own rooms.

************************************

Riddhima woke up in the morning and looked here and there and sat up, she saw Vansh not in the room. She felt light headed and sat up and got off the bed. She wanted some fresh air and as she began to go near the balcony, she saw Ragini in her way. "You?" she asked and got angry. "Riddhima, tum samajhti kiun nahi?" Ragini asked cupping her cheek.

Riddhima pushed her away. "Main kya samjhoon? Tum samjho, jao yahan se," she said and folded her hands in front of her and tried to trespass her but Ragini held her hand tightly, she yelped in pain. "Ragini!" she said in pain while Ragini eyed her. "Mujh se toh bhaag lo gi, in sab se kaise bhaago gi? Sab toh tumhare khilaaf hain, Preesha, Rudra, yahan tak ye tumhara husband...," she was cut in between. "Bas karo! Aainda apni zabaan se mere husband ka naam kabhi mat lena Ragini!" Riddhima said angrily and made her leave her hand and saw marks on her wrist.

Vansh entered the room, she ran to him. "Vansh! Vansh ye dekho Ragini, itni zorr se is ne mera haath pakra ke nishaan par gaye," she said pointing at Ragini and showed her wrist. He looked at the place where she pointed and then at her wrist. "Riddhima, tumhare haath par toh koi marks nahi," he said and kissed her wrist, she looked on tilting her head. He held her hand and took her to the place where Ragini was standing. "Aur dekho, yahan koi Ragini naam ki larki bhi nahi," he said extending his hand to the point where Ragini was, Riddhima screamed as his hand had hit Ragini and she collided into the fall and collapsed getting injured. Vansh got shocked.

************************************

Rudra and Preesha woke up and she looked at him who was stretching his arms and got an idea. She leaned forward encircling her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek, he smiled. "Oh ho, aaj ye meherbani kaise kar di wifey?" he asked. "Tumhari aankhein band thi na, khuli hoti hain toh sharam aati hai," she told him. "Come on, 2 bachay hain humaray, ab kaisi sharam?" he asked smilingly.

"Achha? Chalo dekhein gay kis mein kitni sharam," she said and got off the bed and looked at him. He too got off the bed and went and stood in front of her. She forwarded her hand and he held her hand, she pulled him while walking backwards and stood pressing her back against the wall. She smiled as he leaned and kissed her lips, she placed her arm on his back and kissed back. They parted away lost in each other's eyes. She held his collars and pulled him as she got away from the wall and slowly walked towards the washroom.

They kept looking in each other's eyes and he opened the door, he held her arms firmly and walked forward while she walked backward and stood under the shower. He bent and opened the tap and water began to flow, they began to get drenched. She ruffled his hair and he moved all her hair behind her back and kissed her neck and nuzzled into it while she closed her eyes. He kissed her cheek and temple and forehead. He cupped her face and kissed her lips. She opened her eyes and eyed him with burning passion.

He bent down closing the shower and picked her in his arms and lied her in the bathtub. He lied beside her and opened the taps, they enjoyed the flowing water on their bodies. "Ab batao, sharam mujh mein hai na ziada?" she asked and he chuckled and splashed water over her. "Haan wifey, tum mein hai," he said and she also splashed water on him. "Aur besharmi tum mein hai," she said and he splashed water on her. "Besharam aur sharmeeli ki jodi humesha jachti hai, hai na? Wifey Preesha," he said teasing her splashing water on her.

"Haan, hubby Rudra," she said and splashed water on him and laughed. He also laughed. Their water fight continued and suddenly her head fell on his chest. He got shocked and held her face. "Preesha? Preesha?" he said calling her name and got worried. He got out of the bathtub and lifted her in his arms and took her outside and lied her on the bed. "Oh God, munh toh paani ke bahar tha, ye doobi toh hai nahi, phir behosh kaise hui?" he asked himself. He got a towel and wiped her hair carefully and got a hair drier to dry her hair.
