Arnav: thanks but your are helping Khushi not me

Akash: Khushi? What happen to her? Is she okay?

Arnav: ya, your so-called-sister is fine, but

Akash: but what?

Arnav: do you remember the guy who attacked me?

Akash: ya, what about him?

Arnav: well, he tried to attack Khushi

Akash: What!! Im not going to let him off so easily!!

Arnav: Thanks, that's exactly what I want you to do.

Akash: I will go get him and…

Arnav: and nothing!!! You are not going to do anything with him until I come. Just tie him up in a room and wait until I come. We will decide what to do with him.

Akash: but

Arnav: no but Akash, just do what I told you to

Akash: okay

He hangs up the phone and turned to look at her; she looked so innocent and peaceful. He leaned forward and laid a soft kiss on her forehead. She smiled in her sleep; he could tell that she was feeling good. He smiled and lies down besides her holding onto her hand.

On the other side, Akash thrust the man into the store room and tied him up. He warned him not to go near her ever again or he would have to face the consequences. Akash received a phone call and he let the man escape this time.

She rose from her sleep; stretched out in the bed and noticed that he wasn't anywhere. He left a note on the bedside table saying;"I am sorry but I had to go somewhere, it's an important work. Call me if something happened. My number: 940…."

While arnav and Akash were walking through the jungle, they saw the man's dead body cast in the way. They looked at each other and were a little freaked out.

Akash: don't look at me like that, I didn't do anything.

Arnav: last night…

Akash: I let him go as soon as I received the phone call

Arnav: I think I might know who did it…

Akash: who?

Arnav: do you know Khushi's life might be in danger?

Akash: what do you mean?

Arnav: tell you when time comes…

Akash: you always say that! When will the time come?

Arnav: let's go, I don't want to get late on the first meeting

Akash: why I didn't know about the meeting?

Arnav: I also was informed in the morning

Akash: they could also inform me, why did they inform you?

Arnav: okay then go back home, and wait for their call

Akash: I was just asking, let's go

They attend the meeting and everything went smoothly until the end of the meeting. The head vampire declared that she wanted to see arnav in her room. He entered her room and saw an emaciated, dark, strict-woman who was sitting on the head's chair.

Arnav: You...You called me mam?

Head vampire: Did you saw the dead body on the way?

Arnav: Yes mam

Head vampire: next time your friend might see your body there

Arnav: I'm sorry it won't happen next time

Head vampire: you better do your duty seriously

Arnav: I know it's my responsibility to take care of her and I will try,

Head vampire: try? No you don't try, you must do it… understood?

Arnav: yes

Head vampire: or else you know what will happen

Khushi was walking on the street while she felt someone pulled her to the side with force. She bumped her back against the wall and saw a man standing in front of her.

Khushi: who... Who are you? What do you want?

Stranger: because of you my brother died. What was his fault? He loved you so much; unfortunately you were a human that's why he decided to turn you into a vampire. He just wanted to live happily with you.

Khushi: I don't know who your brother is, how can you blame me?

Stranger: the guy who went to your house yesterday

Khushi: I don't love him and vampire? There is no such thing as vampire in this world, who are you trying to fool?

Stranger: so you think there are no vampires? Then what am I?

Khushi: human…

Stranger: oh really? Take a closer look at me

His eyes turned flashing red the fangs come out; he was a vampire. She was freaked out; looking around for a route to escape, she shouted out arnav's name. She wanted him to come and rescue her; she needed him but he did not appear up. She was afraid and fainted right at the place. Thinking that something had happened to her, the vampire left her and ran away as he would also lose his life like his brother. Arnav felt as if she was calling out his name; she needed him. While he was running out of the jungle, he received a phone call from Khushi.

Arnav: Khushi, where are you? Are you okay?

Doctor: sir, you wife is in the hospital, it would be good if you could come and see her.

Arnav: I'm coming doctor, is she okay?

Doctor: don't worry your wife is absolutely alright, she had a shock and she fainted…

Arnav: thank you doctor…

He hangs up the phone and ran to the hospital. When he reached to her room, he saw her sitting on the bed. He rushed towards her and hugged her tightly.

"I'm sorry Khushi, I really am… I "he said as he was feeling guilty for not being there to rescue her.

"Do you know how I wanted you to be there to save me? Why are you always late? Why can't you be there when I need you?" she said while sobbing.

He leaned closer and caressed her neck. He gently sucked the skin of her neck, eliciting a moan from her. He then kissed her cheeks and hugged her back tightly.

Akash was coming inside when he saw them lost in each other's embrace. He coughs and waited for them to break their affectionate embrace. Payal then came inside and rush to Khushi and hug her,

Payal: Khushi, why are you always hurting yourself? If I didn't call on time and doctor did told me, I wouldn't have known you were in he hospital.

Akash interrupt: payal we will wait for you and Khushi outside, let's go arnav.

Payal: okay

Akash looked at arnav and lead him outside.

Akash: what did the head said to you? And now don't say tell you when time comes because I don't think that time will ever come.

Arnav: she ordered me to take care of Khushi

Akash: why would a vampire's head ask you to take care of a human?

Arnav: Because she is Khushi's mother

Akash: how come? If her mother is a vampire then why Khushi is not? And let me tell you her parents are dead

Arnav: khushi's father had two wives, but he loved wife A more then wife B, his both wives were pregnant at the same time. Wife A gave birth to a son but the son died. Wife B gave birth to a daughter which is Khushi. Khushi's father did not want to hurt his wife A. Therefore, he asks his Wife B to give the daughter to Wife A and leave. As a result, her mom left and Khushi though her mother was wife A. when Khushi was 5, her parents had a car accident and they passed away.

Akash: wow, it's complicated... but how did khushi's mom became a vampire?

Arnav: After she left, she met a man who was a head vampire and they fall in love

Akash: therefore, khushi's mother is the wife of the vampire head, so she is also a vampire head?

Arnav: exactly…

Akash: I see, so you don't love her?

Arnav: why the hell would I love khushi's mother?

Akash: stupid! I'm talking about Khushi not her mother

Arnav: her mom warned me not to fall in love with Khushi

Akash: oh so you love her

Arnav: no!! Umm… I don't know

Akash: no or you don't know?

Arnav: I don't know

Payal and Khushi were coming out of the hospital.

Akash: shh… they are coming

Payal: doctor said she can go,

Akash: okay let's go payal, I will drop you home

Payal: Akash I'm going with Khushi

Arnav: no payal, you go with Akash, he even planned a surprise date for you; he will feel bad if you ditch him…

Akash looked at arnav shockingly and said: have I?

Arnav winked at him.

Akash: ya lets go payal
