After dinner, Sunaina was lovingly massaging Mayil's hair. As she said, her head hurts, and she knows this is her chance to askSunaina something as Mrityunjay has a meeting today. Because of this, he is not even present there and will come quite late tonight.

"Mom… How were your college days? Even after going to college, I could not find many good friends. You had good friends in college."

"A lot… I loved going to college every day because I loved meeting all my friends there."

" Wow… How many friends did you have? Do you even remember the names of those people? ... "

"Of course... Roshini, Ashi, Tanya, Puja, Shivam, Jagdish..."

Sunaina gets silent as soon as Jagdish's name comes out of her mouth. Mayil also knows that she hasn't done right, but at this point, she has to think about herself. So she immediately turns around, grabs his hand, and tells him.

"Tell me about all your friends. We won't talk about that except for the last one. I just want to know about friends. How's Tanya?"

" Mischievous… She used to talk a lot. Once the conversation started, she would never stop. She just kept on talking. To silence her, we often had to make her sit in the canteen and feed her something so that she would be silent."

On hearing this, Mayil starts laughing. Sunaina is also enjoying it a lot, as she remembers her college days. She starts telling about all her friends, and finally Shivam's name comes up.

"Shivam is the most genuine and fun-loving guy; most of the girls in our college want to be his girlfriend; he has a dashing personality, but he is very clear that he wants to complete hisstudies, then get a job to serve his family. as he belongs to a service-class family... His father is a clerk at a bank. He is a very hard-working and helpful person.

"Very nice... Really, why didn't he make any girlfriends? maybe a fake one… "

"No way… He is very clear in everything; he clearly said that I will marry whomever I love, or I will marry the one I have fallen in love with. He says many times that in love, even if he has to die for her, he will be hers only. And I am telling you the truth: I have never seen such a settled man in my life. He was a very sweet and happy person. I used to be so comfortable with him that, at times, Jagdish also used to envy why I became so friendly with Shivam."

Sunaina does not want to talk much now because she is taking Jagdish's name even without wanting to. So she falls silent. Mayil has also understood her situation, but she quickly says.

"Oh, I am in love with this guy. I wish there was such a boy at this time. How good he would be! Such boys are very few."

"Yup, very much. One thing I really liked about Shivam was that he was very serious about everything. He used to say that if you are not serious about something, then you cannot do that thing with enthusiasm."

" Really… Do you know where he lives?"

"I never tried to find out about him, as he was a very good friend of Jagdish. Jagdish did not want at all that the intelligence of Shivam should go to waste. So he took him with him to England. He offered to have MBA done with him; it was like a loan, and Shivam was ready to return every penny he could get to Jagdish. That's why he also did a job for his company at exactlyhalf the salary. And anyway, after leaving college, I never got to know much about Shivam because I wouldn't know about him because... "

"Because Papa feels jealous..."

Sunaina immediately starts looking toward Rannvijay. She does not know whether she still has any feelings about Jagdish or not, but she does know that whenever she has any kind of doubt, she prefers to look only at Rannvijay.

Mayil smiles, leaves her to spend quality time with Ranvijay, whom she loves the most, and comes to her room. She doesn't understand anything. If Shivam was such a settled and genuine person, why did he leave her mother by betraying her? She is just constantly thinking. She doesn't know to whom she can ask anything because her mind is not working at all.

Suddenly, Mrityunjay comes into his room. He is very angry at someone, and he shouts at Ayaan.

"If someone is coming in our way, get him out of the way; I don't know how big of a personality he is.... kills him."

Mritunjay's attention is not on Mayil at all, but as soon as Mayil listens to him, her mind suddenly goes numb. She starts talking slowly to herself, which no one can hear.

"Kill, … Papa… No, he can't... Something happened to him.... Maybe someone killed him. Papa did that.... No, he can't.... Is he no more?"

Mayil's head suddenly starts twitching with sharp pain. She feels like maybe she will fall. But at the same time, Mrityunjay's eyes go to her. Standing and holding her head, he immediately runs to her and takes her in his arms.

"Mahi..."

Mayil's heartbeat had suddenly increased very fast. It felt to her that something might happen to her. Strange thoughts were running through her mind. But as soon as she comes into the arms of Mrityunjay, she seems to have found some kind of peace all of a sudden. She wraps both her arms around his neck and clings to his chest.

"Mahi, what happened? I was not here for one day, so you did not eat properly. That's what happened, isn't it? ..."

"Jay, I want to sleep in your arms."

"First, eat something."
