It was a full moon night when Panchi stormed out of her home. She was literally fuming. "How could they..!!" Her parents, her sisters... They refused to believe the proof she showed and chose to trust Neel. They believed his claim that it was a bold photoshoot theme which he had to do for his bff, that Panchi accidently walked in and she was refusing to believe him coz of her history. "How dare he !! Using my history with Dhanish and Sidharth to coverup his lies..!!".
It was a full moon night and Hasina was getting mixed feelings. She felt something good was going to happen but she also felt tensed. She felt a dead feeling stir in her, almost like when she felt that Abhay was returning to them from the curse. Hasina couldn't understand why she was getting that feeling when Abhay is already back while Sidharth is...gone forever. She chose not to mention it to Chand or Abhay, not sure what they'll understand.
Maybe it was the physical weakness that made her do it, thought Panchi as she burst into tears, after a long time. All past moments with Sidharth flashed through her mind as tears rolled down heavily. She lied down on the ground, feeling very tired.
'He was the reason she became what she is now, he was the reason why she broke Neel's heart, he was the reason why Neel chose to take revenge through their would-be-broken engagement and he was the reason she is out here in the jungle, injured and alone, crying out her heart.' Its all Sidharth's fault, decided Panchi.
Hasina was getting more and more agitated. "Why is this feeling not going away?? What if...". She began to debate with herself whether to go out to the jungle to confirm her thoughts.
"Full moon night when blood and tears of a lover fall on the remains of a living dead..."
It was turning into a storm on earth and a soul screamed in the purgatory...
Lightning flashed across the sky as dark clouds started to form. Wind was blowing faster and faster. The only thing missing was the rain.
"That's it." Decided Hasina. "I can't take it anymore. I'm going to the jungle." She took a cloak on an impulse. Chand and Abhay had gone out to settle a business problem, which obviously involved the Khuranas. So Hasina didn't 've to give any explanation. She started her car and drove towards the jungle.
"What happened to Birdie?? I never thought she'd storm out like this. Dat's my thing." said Misha, getting more and worried about Panchi as time went by. Arnab was equally worried but he had thought she'd return by now. Afterall Panchi was the calm one. Piya was debating with herself 'What if Panchi was right ??'. No one thought it was wise to inform Madhu about what happened. And to make things worse, the climate had just gone from a calm night to a stormy night.
As Hasina neared the jungle, she saw a big sudden flash of light somewhere in the heart of the jungle. She left the car and ran at her superhuman speed to the place. She came to a halt, shocked at the sight beyond her.
"How can it happen ??" A shocked Hasina looked onto an equally shocked Sidharth.
Hasina's gaze fell onto Panchi. She saw her bleeding head and tearstained face and the place where Sidharth was still sitting, looking around. And it struck her...
"Full moon night when blood and tears of a lover fall on the remains of a living dead..."
Sidharth looked up at his mother in shock, as her words sinked in. "After all I did, she still loves me ??" thought Sidharth, looking at the woman he had betrayed without any remorse, who was now lying unconscious next to him.
Hasina now understood why she had those mixed feelings tonight. Her other son, the evil one, has returned. But he was going to go through his redemption now. A smile started to grow on her face. He was going to pay for his betrayal, to both his family and Panchi, by a bigger price.
She threw the cloak on Sidharth, signaling him to cover himself. Then she carried Panchi to her car, telling him to follow them. Hasina placed Panchi in the front seat, fastening seatbelt over her. She opened door to backseat for Sidharth, who obeyed her without a word. She decided to drove him to his residence and then drop Panchi at the Dobriyals'. It was definitely not a good idea for them to see Sidharth.
As she drove on, Hasina felt glad that she came to the jungle. Who knows if he had attacked Panchi, if she hadn't. It'd 've been a grave mistake.
"You are back only coz of Panchi. Now you are bound to her forever. The day she dies, you'll be back in purgatory forever. So now its necessary for your survival to keep her alive. And her love for you. But you can't turn her into a vampire as she is the reason you are back."
