Hansa was damn angry on her sons. She never thought, even in the dreams that one day she has to face this because of them. She didn't know where she went wrong, what wrong teachings her sons get or from what kind of bad morals they are effected so as the result they did this.
She is ashamed on herself. Ashamed as a mother, ashamed as a teacher, ashamed as a guider, moreover ashamed as woman whose son not only destroyed someone's life but also someone's dignity in the name of marriage.
She is ashamed of showing her face to Naina who on their first meeting told her truth. But she didn't believe it. Although she accepted it from the surface but from the deep down, she is unable to accept that truth, the harsh reality.
But after whatever happened today, she didn't know how to face all this. She knew her today's behaviour hurted Naina more and now she is guilty for this.
In Naina's room-
Naina is sitting on her bed with the puffy eyes, red nose which are the results of her crying session. She is also suffering from the slight headache which is the result of the her deep clueless thinking, her thoughts and her questions. Questions regarding what made Anshuman to do all this to her, questions regarding Anshuman's parents behaviour.
In all these, she missed all the incidents that happened outside. She forgot each and every thing and concern.
" Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky."
All of the sudden, these words starts floating in the room. Their words along with the music are soul soothing which can carry a person into his/ her dreamland.
But it's not showing any effect on Naina.
"Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky."
The music again started in its full ear pleasing glory and soon ended again without noticing.
"Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky."
Naina was so much engulfed in her thoughts that she didn't notice from where the music is coming from as the music starts playing the third time in a row.
Again the silence of the room get interuppted by the same music.
But this time it's got the reaction from Naina. She came out of her trance with a sudden jolt. Now it seems that she regained her sense.
She quickly fishes out her phone from the pile of clothes that are kept on the couch.
This is the phone she brought secretly from her first salary which she earned from working in Tahir's office. She didn't want anyone to notice it nor she wanted to share the number, so she kept this lullababy song as her incoming tune. As the toy which Anshuman brought for their child also play this song. So in this way it is easy for her to hide the mobile.
She took the mobile out and stares at the number from which the call is coming. After seeing it, she moves to the balcony and answered it.
Naina's Pov-
Looking at the number from which I get the call, I know who is calling. So I decided to answer the call in an expectation that I get what I want or I get a way to have it.
"Hello" .. I replied as soon I answered the call.
" I'm good. How is everything there?" I again asked.
"That's good. Do you have any idea why it happened and when?" I again asked.
"Ok.. I get it. Ok. Ok. I'll start preprations." with these I bid my good bye and hung up the phone.
I knew what I am doing and why?.
People can think in my place that I don't have any self respect and dignity. They can think that I'm being a pitiful and wants to earn sympathy.
Because all this they can think. All this they have in their minds.
(** smile full of SCARASM.**)
But they forget, not everything you want can be got by straight ways. My situation is also like that.
I want dignity and respect but I can't get it nor earn it by straight simple ways.
The only way of getting these in case of mine is twisted ways and plots.
Once I was hurted and today too. That wound is still afresh in my heart. How can I forget that day when he threw me away from his house. I cried, I begged infront of them, infront of him to not to throw me out of the house but they didn't pay any heed.
Now it's going to be my time. They have to pay for it. Anshuman, his parents and my so called parents and my so called family has to pay for all their deeds.
I know who can help me all in this mess. Although in my family everyone seems to forget about them but not me. I never forget about them not for a second. So I contacted them and asked them to help me.
"Your countdown starts now Anshuman. Now your every move, your every step and your action is going to determine your future. Your future with me and with our child. Your one wrong move and you will never be able to see us and this is my promise. The promise to make you suffer like I did." I said in my mind.
But in all this I'm feeling bad for only one person. The one and only person who never left my side in what ever the situation is. That person is Tahir, Tahir bhai.
I know he treats me like his sister. A sister by heart. He always stands with me. And he is like a protective shield of my child. I'm grateful to him for this.
But now I have to punish them also. I have to punish him as he is also related with Anshuman.
But I know he will understand each and everything as he is unlike others.

Author's Pov-
With these thoughts in her mind, Naina sleeps in somewhat relaxed situation.
In the living room, Hansa was sleeping. She slept while drowning herself in the guilt and her own pain obviously not physical.
While outside the Tahir's apartment, Anshuman and Tahir was sleeping in a hope that Hansa will let them enter into the house again and they didn't have to sleep on the floor but all their hopes are died when they witness their mother's cold shoulder as she didn't open the door to let them take inside of the house. And they have to slept on the floor that tok outside of the house.
