Azaad is annoyed as heck with Mahira's "arrogance". She knows she's scared, yet she doesn't come out to follow me. Fine! Two can play at this game...! and he drives off if a huff.
Mahira escapes death by Khan Begum. She was rendered unconscious by Razia, but at the last moment KB was distracted by someone approaching.
It was Jhanjariya again, providing for an alibi to prevent KB. Because Razia and her have another scheme planned for Mahira. And Azaad was arriving.
But Azaad came back...! He watches her sleep, smile ruefully and thinks about how he couldn't bear to leave her alone.
She grabs his hand. The hesitation in his face, he tries to pull away, but she grabs it more firmly.At last he gives in and lets her hold on to his hand. He rests his head next to her and watches her sleep. For that moment, his troubles and grouches are forgotten.
He sleeps a calm sleep, wakes up at dawn to find his hand still safe in hers. He wakes and watches her sleep with an affectionate smile. He appreciates the calm and innocence (and prettiness, of course) that is Mahira. His hand shakes as he brushes her hair off her face.
But he talks himself out of it. Your life is dark and dangerous. You have no business being attracted to bright and happy things, you'd only darken them. Stay away from her Azaad!
He reclaims his hand and leaves.
When Mahira wakes, she is befuddled and confused, not remembering anything after being left alone. She thought she survived it alone. Opening the door, she finds Azaad. All freshened up and in bright blue and shades, looking like a million bucks.
For a moment there, she appreciated how good he looked ! LOL... Or she was just super happy that he was around after all...
He hands her some gum.

She was so taken aback she made an awkward joke. Which he didn't laugh to , of course.
I want to talk about last night.
*eyes wander* What about last night?
You know.. When you did something you weren't supposed to...
*gulp* What do you know about that? Were you awake the whole time? *ohshit*
What do you mean!? Of course I was awake !! When you came to me...
WHen I came to you?? Then what?
Why don't you remember anything? Well, if you don't want to remember, then fine.. But I called you names...
Oh... so that's what you're talking about...*sighs in relief*
Why did something else happen? *curious*
Nope...
Some more cute nagging from Mahira...then
Please stop it..
What?
Asking so many questions like you are my...
Your what?
Nothing...
*Ohhh... this is my "Hum aapke hain kaun moment"*

<LOL... suuper cute... Loved the relief in Azaad's golden brown eyes. Reflects light and emotions equally well... Hayye...>
She continues to tease him. "Body builder or not, those baddies were bad, you wouldn't have managed them..."
Disappointment mars his face..""Don't you remember anything?? Really?"
They arrive back. And Amaad instigates Khan Begum against the two.
<But I wanted to know what the two were talking about ! Why he was standing there and smiling indulgently while she chattered away...!! Awww...>
Precap: Murder attempts begin.
Azaad has fallen for Mahira and is now at his denial stage...

Aye Humnava Mujhe Apna Bana Le
Oh friend my well-wisher make me yours
Sukhi Padi Dil Ki Iss Zameen KO Bhiga De
Come and drench wet this barren dry ground of my heart
Hmm
Hu Akela Zara Hath Bada De
I am alone lonely extend your hand towards me
Sukhi Padi Dil Ki Iss Zameen KO Bhiga De
Come and drench wet this barren dry ground of my heart
Kabse Mein Dar Dar Phir Raha
I am roaming moving from one door to another since so long
Musafir Dil KO Panaah De
Give shelter to this wanderer heart, nomadic heart of mine
Tu Awargi KO Meri Aaj Thehra De
Today put an end to my waywardness
Ho Sake Toh, Thoda Pyaar Jata De
If possible show me your love towards me express your love to me
Sukhi Padhi Dil Ki Iss Zameen KO Bhiga De
Come and drench wet this barren dry ground of my heart
Aaa Haaa Heyyy Aaa
Murjhaayi Si Shaakh Pe Dil Ki Phool Khilte Hai Kyun
On the dry branch of my heart why flowers blossom
Baat Gulon Ki, Zikr Mahek Ka Acha Lagta Hai Kyun
Why do I like the talks about roses, flowers and mention about the fragrance?
UN Rangon Se Tune Milaya Jinse Kabhi Main Mil Nahi Paaya
You made me see and meet those colors the colors which I never met, which I never saw
Dil Karta Hai Tera Shukriyaa Phir Se Bahaarein Tu La De
Heart is thankful to you Please bring back the blossom, spring once again
Dil Ka Sunaa Banjar Mehka De
Fragrance the lonely barren heart of mine
Sukhi Padhi Dil Ki Iss Zameen KO Bhiga De
Come and drench wet this barren dry ground of my heart
Hmm
Hoon Akela Zara Hath Bada De
I am alone lonely extend your hand towards me
Sukhi Padi Dil Ki Iss Zameen KO Bhiga De
Come and drench wet this barren dry ground of my heart
Waise Toh Mausam Guzre Hai Zindagi Main Kayi
Throughout my life lots of seasons have passed
Par Ab Na Jaane Kyun Mujhe Woh Lag Rahe Hai Haseen
Don't know the reason but nowadays I feel that seasons are beautiful
Tere Aane Par Jaana Maine Kahin Na Kahin Zinda Hoon Main
As you came into my life I realized that somewhere I am still alive
Jeene Laga Hoon Main Ab Yeh Fizaayein Chehre KO Chhutti Hawaayein
Now I have started enjoying this atmosphere, the winds, air touching my face
InkiTarah Do Qadam Toh Badha Le
Just like them take couple of steps towards me
Sukhi Padhi Dil Ki Is Zameen KO Bheega De
Come and drench wet this barren dry ground of my heart
Hoo
Hoon Akela Zara Hath Badha De
I am alone lonely extend your hand towards me
Sukhi Padi Dil Ki Is Zameen KO Bheega De
Come and drench wet this barren dry ground of my heart
