Soš as I had suggested, I am starting a combined story topic. As of right now, I was able to get 4 people- me, Nezuko, Shaon and Sri. So I'll kickstart this thread in the hopes that other's will pipe in too, hopefullyš. Oh, I'll lay out the basics in a nutshell
1. Next writer picks off from where the previous one left and can take the story wherever they wantš
2. You can incorporate the serial scenes at your own discretion (in case you want to see a particular scene go your wayā¤ļø)
3. I'll update the index here so no worries.
Edit- Guys jo bhi agla part post karne wala ho kindly label it an 'Act no.' Example the person posting after me will label it Act 2 and so on. Also kindly nominate yourself first taaki aisa na ho ki do log ek hi scenario prepare karke post kardeinš
just drop me a dm saying you will be writing the next part and I'll update it on the topic so as to avoid confusion

Act 1 - Crumbling
(Continued from Episode 25)
āAb aap apni patni ka naam lijiyeā
Virendra stole a glance at Purvi as she waited. He could not get away with ābawriā this time.
āKe hua Virendra, bolā Mama sarkar coerced the man as Virendra nodded.
Seeing mukhiji struggling with voicing out her name, Purvi leaned sideways and murmured, āAapko hamara naam toh yaad hai na?ā
He turned to her with a snap as she pulled away quickly, and stole her gaze, then looked back at him.
āNhi, matlabā¦.hota hai aisaā¦aapki umra mainā¦ā
Virendra felt his eyes widening while Purvi bit her lips to control her grin.
āHamare tauji bhi aiā
āPurvi Pratap Singhā ,Virendraās announcement of her name interrupted Purvi as she snuck a glance at him and found him glaring, and almost instantly turned away, the corner of her lips lifting up in a smile.
'Thankoo tauji!ā Purvi blessed her tauji and forwarding her hand held Virendraās arm as he put aahuti in the havan kund.
āYajman, daan main dene ke liye, sakshi ji ki vastu chahieā, Pandit asked and Virendra realized that he had forgotten about it.
Nodding, he started to get up when Purvi lightly pressed his arm making him look at her.
āHum le aaenge, aap bata dijiye kahan rakha haiā
After staring at her for good two beats, he nodded and gave her the directions, as she got up and turning around walked out of the hallway and towards the stairs.
5 minutes later, as Purvi emerged out of her room with Sakshiās saree in her hands, she went numb and turned around to see a woman ,her gun aimed at Purvi.
Scared, Purvi took a step back. āK..Kon h..ho tum?ā Purvi stammered, her eyes looking all over the place for any sort of aid.
Gulping, she took a step back, her eyes trained on the vase on her left side. Almost in reach.
āK-kya bigada h-hai humne tumhara?ā And taking another step back, in a flash she caught hold of the vase and flinging it at the woman,turned around and made a dash for stairs when a gunshot echoed.
Instantly, Virendra looked up as the other people started looking around too.
āPurviiii!!ā As Sudhaās cry echoed across the mansion,Virendra left his seat and quickly made a run for stairs, followed by Vaibhav and others.
On seeing Sudha, the cloaked woman started to run but Sudha spared her no chance and flung herself at her, fighting to snatch the pistol.
Arriving on top of staircase, Virendra came to a stand stillas he saw Purvi leaning against the wall, her fingers pressed tightly against the side of her stomach, from where blood was gushing out.
āBawriiiii!ā Shouting for her at the top of his lungs, he raced towards her. Purvi looked in his direction and blinked her eyes. She could not quite make it out. Her head was ringing and her consciousness was fading fast. She opened her lips to speak but nothing came out, and then she was falling forward.
In the nick of time, Virendra caught her as her eyes rolled back.
āAe bawriiā, Virendra called out patting her cheeks, āAankhne khula rakhā¦sunn ri hai naā.
As Purvi winced, his gaze shifted to the wound on her waist and he brushed his fingers against it, the blood staining them red.
Virendra found his breath stuck, flashbacks of an accident coming to haunt him in this moment.
āAaahā, Interrupted by a scream Virendra looked up to see Sudha holding her head while a cloaked woman pulled away from her and then his eyes fell on the pistol in her hands. Glowing with fury, he yelled, āPakdo uss aurat ne! Yo bachke naa jani chahiyeā.
And the men behind him, rushed after the woman. As Purvi winced again, Virendra looked back at her, his fingers trying to put pressure on her wound.
āAe bawriā¦.tanne kuch na hogaā¦main hoon..main hoonā Virendra assured her as Purvi smiled slightly before passing out in his arms.
Scared, Virendra shook her. āBawri? Bawri?!ā
āArre gadi nikalo!ā Shouting out, he clambered to his feet with her in his arms and turning around rushed down the stairs.
Hospital
As doctors put Purvi on oxygen, Virendra turned away from the glass and struck his fist against the wall.
This was all because of him. Amidst all the security arrangements, someone had sneaked in and with a weapon no less. Today, because of him bawri was in thereā¦and he just..
A tear rolled down his eyes and he clenched his chest tightly.
āVirendraā, Turning around to his motherās hand on his shoulders, he wiped his tears away.
As his phone started ringing, he stepped away from his mother and pressed the phone to his ears. With every word, his face steeled and blood dawned in his eyes. And once the call had ended he bolted out of hospital.
Godown
Virendra clenched his fingers tightly as Kallo tai struggled in the grip of his men.
āKyu kiya tanne aisa?ā He asked, his throat choking, his head ringing with the mischief bawri had done with him just a few hours ago.
Kallo grinned evilly, āUss mukhiyain ne mujhe jail bheja tha na, ab khud maut ke muh pe khadi haiā
Virendra gulped, resisting the urge to harm her. No, he couldn't stoop so low but he wasnāt going to stand idle either. His face scrunched at the disgusting smile on her face and he nodded at one of his men.
Two minutes later, they showed up and pushed 4 men at Virendraās feet, a mask on their faces while their hands were tied.
Kalloās eyes widened as Mukhi started removing the masks. It was her sons!
āAe mukhi, mere beton koā She had started to threaten him when Virendra beat her to it.
āParole pe chute thhe na, toh apni galti sudharni chahie thi. Je tune mere parivar pe haath dala hi hai toh ab saja bhugat!ā Virendra bellowed out as his men dragged her sons and tied them to a pole.
āUdhed do inki khaal aur rukna mat jab tak mukhiyain ko hos naa aa jaeā, Virendra ordered and turned around to leave when Kallo fell at his feet.
āAisa na kar Virendraā¦Maafi!ā She pleaded while he pulled away in disbelief.
āApne beton ki itni chinta aur meri bawri ke sath jo kiya, uska ke?! Yaad karle apne bhagwan ne tai, aur dua kar ki mukhiyain uthe warna tere bĆŖte iss duniya se utth javengeā.
With that said, he walked out of the godown.
