Comes closer sits beside her,
Rudra - Paro..
She being grief-stricken is unable to hold back and hugs him, while crying too.
Rudra - Sh... Shhh.. Sh... Shhh.. Shaant. Bas, bas. Main aa gaya, na? Sab theek hai, bas. Bas, bas..
Rudra - Sh.. Hush.. Sh.. Shhh... quiet.. Enough, stop.. I am here, right? Everything is fine, enough.. Stop, enough..
Having had her stop, reduced her worry, he tries to gently ask her about the attacker.
Rudra - Dekha tha, uska chehra?
Rudra - Did you catch a glance of his face?
Paro is terrified, terrorised.
Rudra - Kaun tha? Chehre par koi nishaan, koi pehchaan?
Rudra - Who was it? Did he have any scar on his face, anything distinguishable to identify?
Paro relives the moment for second and freaks out more, she holds her Major Saab even more closely, firmly.
Rudra - Ha.. Shush.. Sh.. Shh.. Aa.. Acha, accha. Shush. Shush.. Shu.. Bas.. Bas.. Bas.. Kuch nahi hoga, kuch nahi hoga, bas.
Rudra - Ha.. Shush.. Sh.. Shh.. Ah.. Okay. okay. Hush.. Hush.. Shu. stop, enough, enough.. Nothing is going to happen, stop..
He manages to stop her from crying, and reassures her, rocking, swaying her like a baby in his arms.
Once he has her attention, even for a minute, he slowly goes ahead and questions her.
Rudra - Acha, idhar dekh. Dekh idhar, main aa gaya hoon na. Main hoon na, tere paas? Hmm? Ghabra matt, surakshit hai tu ek dum, kuch nahi hone doonga, Hmm?
Rudra - Okay, look here. Look at me, I have come, right? I am here, right next to you, then? Don't worry, you are in no danger, with me on your side, I will not let anything bad happen to you, alright?
Having garnered her attention and reassurance,
Rudra - Aadmi tha?
Rudra - Was it a man?
Paro nods her head in a yes.
Rudra - Chehra dekha uska?
Rudra - Did you get a look of his face?
Paro nods her head in a no.

She musters up courage, and slowly tries to narrate what happened.
Paro - H.. Huh. V.. voh phatphati par aaya tha.
Paro - H.. Huh.. Wel.. Well.. He arrived on a bike..
Rudra gives an encouraging nod,
Paro - Ch.. Chehra nahi dekh paayi.. A.. aur.. H.. Helmet pehna hua tha. H.. Ha.. A.. au.. aur sab kuch itni jaldi-jaldi ho gaya k.. ki..
Paro - fa... face, I wasn't able to get a look.. H..he was wearing a helmet. A.. And.. everything happened so fast tha.. that.. I...
She breaks down and falls back in his arms to seek comfort..
Rudra - Shant, main hoon na? Kucch nahi hoga.Mere rehte, koi kucch nahi kar sakta tera. Bas.. Shant, shant, sh.. Shh..
Rudra - Quiet.. I am here, right? Nothing bad can happen, with my prescene, no one can dare harm/hurt you. Sh.. Sh.. enough.
Rudra pats her and almost puts her to sleep, she has peace of mind before the injected dose starts to take over. She starts feeling drowsy and closes her eyes.
He slowly, carefully, gently lays her head on the pillow and allows her to rest.
He gets furious, just thinking about the so-called mysterious stalker and in rage to know about his intentions.
He is interrupted by a call from Aman, while the entire Ranawat khaandan is busy waiting for updates in the corridor/ centre room.
Rudra - Haan, Aman? Tejawat ki koi khabar? Toh apne aankh aur kaan khol ke dhoond.Pura vishvaas hai mujhe, laaut aaya hai vo. Iss ne Paro par hamla karne ki koshish ki. Vishvaas hai mujhe iss mein ussi ka haath hai.Kismat uski acchi hogi ki, agar mera vishvaas galat saabit hoga.Kyun ki, agar sahi saabit hua na, toh choddunga nahi. Bhool jaaunga ki, voh kiska kya lagta hai! Kyunki sawaal, Meri Paro ka hai!
Rudra - Yes, Aman. Any news/updates on Tejawat? If not, then open your eyes and ears and start searching. I am pretty sure, that he has returned/made a comeback. He tried to harm Paro. I am dam sure, he has something or the other to do with all of this. His fate would be great, if my belief is held untrue, if, god forbid, it turns true, I will eat him up alive/kill him/murder him. I will not be reminded of the fact that, he is related to anyone/someone I know. Because, it is the question of My Wife, Paro.
