Next morning doctor comes to check Bondita. He checks the pulse and informs it's running slow.
"Agar inko abhi hospital nehi le jaya geya fir yeh dard se tarap ke mar jaigi.."
"Nehi" said Anirudh "main Bondita ko hospital le jaunga..."
"Per Anirudh ghar ki bahu..." kaka was about to stop Anirudh
"Kaka apke liye keya yada maine rakhta hain ghar ki bahu yah Bondita ki jaan?" Anirudh asked in a strong voice
Kaka was a bit shocked by Anirudh's response... he noticed some changes in his tone...
Sumati ma started sobbing
Anirudh takes Bondita in his lap and asks Sumati ma to come with him...
Driver takes out the car..  Anirudh took the Doctor with them.. it's a long drive to Medical College Hospital...

Here Mano is on her move to kill viceroy at any cost... she was in her room when one of her sathi came by the window.. she goes near the window
"Haveli main keu aye" she whispered
"Viceroy Tulsipur main hi hain... uski gari yaha se thick 11 baje ko gujregi... tumhare paas baki bombs hain na... abhi nehi to kabhi nehi..." informed her sathi in a whispering tone ...
Mano nods her head in approval and her sathi flees

Suddenly someone knocks the door
She gives a cautious look at the surrounding and shuts the window
She opens the door.. its her parents
"Mano Mano beti tu thick to hain na.. itna bara hatsa ho geya..." her mother was very frightened

"Nehi ma mujhe kuch nehi hua..."

She remembered what her sathi said... it's 10 30 ... she needs to be fast
"Bondita ki halat ke liye bohat bura lag raha hain ma... aj to gurubar hain na... aj sab Shiv ji ke mandir main jate hain... main bhi jayungi aur Bondita ke liye mannat manungi.."
Mano's mother caressed her head and gave an impressed smile..
"Ma tum jao main taiyar ho jati hu.."
As soon as her mother left Mano shut the door.. she takes out the bomb and covers it with a red cloth and places it on the arti ki thali..

She looked at her reflection in mirror and started sweating... perhaps it's her last day in this world

"Mujhe maaf kar dena Anirudh meri waje se tumhari zindegi ki sabse anmol ratan ki jaan khatre main pari.. meri laparbai ke waje se... aj main bohat bohat dur chali jaungi... aur kabhi nehi ayungi tumhare aur Bondita ke beech....."
