Ranveer is running like crazy; he is sweating badly, but the smile on his face is worth seeing. His backpack is full of her favorite chocolate on his back, but still, there are a few in his hands also. He looks around for a taxi or lift, but it's 4:00 AM. Uber is not responding to the call, but he cannot delay in any way to meet his Shagun… his life, so he starts running while searching for a taxi.

The happiness on his face is worth seeing. He takes a deep breath and looks around again. When he can't find a taxi, he starts running again with his full energy. After running for 1:30 hours, he is standing right in front of Shagun's house. It is now 5:30 AM. He knows very well that no one is going to get up before 7:00 AM. He immediately climbs the wall of the bungalow and jumps in silently. He is very well versed in every place in this house. He immediately comes to the back where the window of Shagun's room opens. He smiles widely and immediately starts climbing the tree, whose branch is near her window. Ranveer climbs the tree in Swift's motion, demonstrating his experience, and immediately jumps through the window to see Shagun in deep slumber.

Ranveer smiles widely and moves towards Shagun with very slow steps; his eyes are fixed on Shagun's face. In her sleep, her duvet fell from her body. He took the duvet and covered her properly. He immediately sits beside her without disturbing her sleep and just looks at her silently. After an hour, Shagun turns in her sleep lazily, and her hand touches someone's hand; she immediately opens her eyes, then smiles again and closes her eyes while murmuring.

"Good dream... I miss him so much..."

Ranveer smiles at her and tugs her hair behind her ear. She immediately holds his hand, opens her eyes, and blinks several times. Ranveer is also watching her act silently while suppressing his laughter; she immediately pinches his hand. He hurls with the intensity of pinching and says softly.

"Kiddo... It's really me... I am here."

Sangun immediately gets up and starts jumping on her bed. Ranveer laughs at her excitement but quickly holds her and places a finger on her lips and whispers in her ear.

"Don't shout…. Otherwise, everybody gathers here... "

She looks at him innocently and places both hands on her mouth and nods her head after making a little pout. Ranveer holds Shagun's hand gently, gazing into her eyes as he asks her a question.

"Now tell me what exactly happened…?"

She again sits next to Ranveer and starts telling him everything—as is her habit as usual—without missing a single thing. Ranveer is also listening very carefully to her words. After a while, he looks at his watch and puts his hand on her mouth again to keep her shut, showing his watch and saying.

"Time to study… Your teacher must have come now; you should be ready…

She bowed down her face and told him softly in a sad voice.

"But I want to talk to you. There are lots of things I want to tell you. I know very well you are going very soon, and I don't know when you will come back again."

He lovingly cups her face in both his hands and, looking into her eyes, says to her with so much love.

"Whenever you want to meet me, all you have to say is that you want to meet me, no matter how many problems I have to face, but I will come to meet you immediately."

"Really…"

"Really…"

Ranveer says with a very broad smile on his face. Shagun pouts and says sadly.

"But Mumma scolds me, and Papa also scolds you, nah…"

Ranveer rests his index finger on his chin and pretends to be thinking of a solution in front of her.

"How will it be if we never tell Mumma and Papa that we meet each other secretly from them?"

"But it wasn't a lie, and you told me I'll never lie to you; I must tell you everything."

"Yes, I told you.... So you have to tell me everything, not everyone. If you tell me all the things, then I can give you any solution, but if you tell all these things to everyone, then both of us will be scolded a lot…. Get it, baby... "

"Bade Papa will scold you."

She asked him innocently. Ranveer nods, and she quickly hugs him; he smiles and hugs her tightly. Ranveer knows very well that Shagun is very innocent; she neither understands his love nor understands these things. And every word he utters in front of Shagun is like everything for her because he knows very well that Shagun will never deny anything he says. Shagun is still hugging Ranveer; she whispers softly in his ear.

"If I call you every time, you will have to work very hard to come to me."

"Hmmm…"

Ranveer enjoys hugging her. It feels like it's been a decade since he hugged her. So he only hummed to enjoy this moment when she asked him. She quickly sits in front of him and tells him very innocently.

"Ok... I keep it in my mind... But don't try too hard, and if you get sick, you won't be able to come to me at all... Promise me that you will always take excellent care of yourself."

She gestures to him to show him her pinky finger as a promise to him by showing her, He smiles and grabs her finger with his pinky finger and, looking into her eyes, says to her as a promise.

"I promise you, my princess... I will take care of myself very well... I will always keep myself just for you... I am yours alone and will always be yours."

Shagun smiles without understanding his words and immediately hugs him again Ranveer also smiles and embraces her nicely in his arms, as he doesn't know when he will get this chance again to hug her.

Ranveer keenly checked the mark of blue and red shade on their faces and gritted his teeth.

"Is it still hurting…?"

Advay tries to smile, but his lip injury prevents his laughter from fully showing on his face. Attempting to scratch his lips causes significant pain.

"Don't do this... Your laugh can't hide your pain from me, so there is no need to hide anything from me. Now spit out everything."

Both Advay and Advik look at each other, knowing their older brother loves them. Still, both of them do not want Ranveer to get into any trouble because of them. So Advik tries to manipulate him.

"Bro, you know very well that small fights happen in the group of boys, and the same thing happened with us; it is not a big deal, so chill.... Your brothers aren't too small to care for themselves, so don't worry about us."

Ranveer knows very well that both his brothers are hiding things from him just because they do not want Ranveer, who has come here for 1 day, to get into trouble. But Ranveer has become very furious after seeing the wound marks on his brother's faces, and above that, his brothers are hiding things from him. He looks at them with red eyes and roars very loudly.

"Speak up…"

Both flinch and jump in their place a little bit; Advay starts narrating everything like a robot in a second.

"He is our senior and your ex-classmate. He always annoys us without any problem. We just took Shagun to the ice cream parlor to eat ice cream because she was insisting for a long time."

Advay looks at Advik, who is rubbing his elbow because his wound is painful. Ranveer holds his hand and sees his wound and takes out the ointment from his bag and starts applying it on his wound. Advik looks at his brother with a smile, but when Ranveer looks at him with anger in his eyes, his laughter disappears immediately, and he starts his story again.

"But there were a lot of crowds, and you know very well that Shagun does not feel good in the crowd and starts getting upset there and on the verge of crying…. So we were coming from there in a hurry… But I don't know from where your ex-classmate came and started troubling Shagun... and said to her..."

He stops in the middle and starts looking at Advay while rubbing the back of his neck, wanting to avoid Ranveer. He folds his arms across his chest and waits for him to complete his sentence very patiently. Advay hit his elbow in his stomach, but he hit his head.

"Bhai just looks at him; he is hitting me…."

"No, bhai, he started…."

Ranveer is watching them both very well and is waiting for both of them to stop this stupid stunt so that Ranveer forgets all the things by getting entangled in their fight.

"Stop it…."

They both immediately close their eyes and speak loudly together.

"She is a burden on the earth and on her parents…. She particularly burdens you…. Because of her, you have been forcibly sent out of here..."

Advik opens one of his eyes and looks at his brother, who is growling very badly with his red eyes in anger.

"Bhai… listen…. We didn't listen to his words; we even tried to fight him and his group, but you know we didn't have the strength in front of his friends."

Ranveer nods his head, and looking at both of them, he ruffles their hair and says to them,.

"Go back home…."

They both know very well that Ranveer will not come home, so without any question, they both hug him.

"We miss you so much…"

"Me too...."

Ranveer hugs them back; after their sweet group hug, they both leave from there.

Pratap is reading the newspaper while having his breakfast. Advay and Advik are also enjoying their breakfast, continuously giggling over the news they are reading in the newspaper. Because constantly watching their fun like this, Pratap's attention is drawn towards them. He immediately pulls out the page where they are looking and constantly smiling. He read it out loud with his eyebrow up.

"Hardik Malhotra, son of well-known businessman of the city, Suraj Malhotra, got beaten up by a masked man very mercilessly last night."

Pratap sides with the newspaper from his sight and looks at his two sons and asks them angrily.

"After reading this news, why are you both laughing so much? What is it like in this news that both of you are constantly smiling looking at this news?"

Advik looks at his father and puts his both hands on the table and says very mischievously.

"I don't like Hardik…"

Pratap narrows his eyes and looks at him, but immediately he hears Advay's voice as well.

"I also don't like him... And I like the fact that some masked man has beaten him too much."

Pratap remains completely unconvinced. Both boys leave after having their breakfast. He thinks for some time and mumbles.

"Hardik Malhotra is also the name of the boy who beat them both a few days back…. Is Ranveer ... No, it's not possible. I have stopped all his allowances, so he cannot have the required money to come here, so he cannot come here…. What if somebody helps him... "

He immediately calls someone and says to that person.

"You quickly reach Dad's apartment and see whether Ranveer is there or not. I doubt that Ranveer is not there but in India."

After 1 hour, that person called him to inform him of what they wanted.

"Pratap, you have got a big misunderstanding. Ranveer is currently here in New York, and when I reached your apartment, he was about to go to college."

Pratap sighs in relief and smiles, and he thanks his friend for knowing the whereabouts of his elder son.
