For a second Vihaan felt a strong urge to do the same. But he controlled himself.

Aarushi was looking extremely beautiful. She was wearing a pink coloured silk saree with golden jaree border. She wasn't wearing much jewellery. Green bangles, golden earrings, maharashtrian nath and.. Mangalsutra!! Vihaan sighed. He was feeling helpless.

Aarushi looked at Vihaan. She wasn't looking happy.

"Aarushi ka chehra aise lag raha hai jaise jabardasti bitha diya ho usko pooja me" Himani said.

"Jabardasti hi bithaya hai.. Khud se thodi na baithi hogi" Sumedh said "Ranveer Dada ka bhi chehra waisa hi hai.. Vihaan yeh kab tak chalega"

Vihaan also wanted to end this. Something had to be done. But what?

After the pooja, Vihaan, Sumedh and Himani took darshan. To see Vihaan with two newly appointed leaders people from nearby villages were there.

"Kitni bheed hai yaha sir" Vihaan's bodyguard said "Aap jaldi chaliye yaha se"

"It's okay" Vihaan said "Yaha toh pehle bhi aa chuke hai"

"Tabhi toh.. Jitni jaldi ho sake yaha se chaliye" Guard told.

Vihaan agreed.

"Aap please Bhandare ka khana kha ke jaiyega" A villager insisted "Prashad hota hai wo"

"Ji jaroor" Vihaan obliged.

Villagers were very happy. They had chance to serve Vihaan who everyone looked up to as the next leader. They were surprised to see how down to earth he was!

Aarushi and Ranveer went home. Sameeksha was waiting for them. Before she could say anything Aarushi ran into her bedroom.

"Ise kya hua?" Sameeksha asked.

"Pata nahi" Ranveer sat down on sofa.

"Tum log ruke nahi?" Sameeksha asked.

"Nahi. Pooja toh ho gayi. Ab sab Vihaan ke aagey picche kar rahe hai. Uska waha pe style maar ke ho jayega toh wo yahi aayega Aarushi se milne.. Yeh soch ke hum nikal aaye waha se" He told.

Sameeksha was about to reply when they heard noise from outside. People were screaming and talking loudly.

"What happened?" Ranveer looked at Sameeksha.

"Jake dekh aao" Sameeksha said.

Ranveer ran outside and went towards the venue where pooja was being held.

"Kya hua?" He asked a villager.

"Major General.. Major General Vihaan.." That man was panting.

"Kya hua unhe?" Ranveer felt knot in his stomach.

He went ahead and saw that Vihaan was lying on floor and was choking. His skin was looking blueish in color and fogg was coming out of his mouth.

"Jeher.." Sumedh shouted "Kisine jeher khilaya hai inhe"

Everyone gasped.

Vihaan's guards immediately picked him up and made him sit in the car.

"Hum le jayenge inhe.. Do guards ko yaha rok lo aur investigate Karo ki yeh sab kisne kiya.. Local police ko inform karo" Sumedh told.

"Sumedh..." Ranveer went ahead "Should I come?"

"No. I'll manage"Sumedh said" Main aur Himani dono ja rahe hai"

Aarushi came there running. She saw Vihaan lying on back seat of the car whilst his head was on Himani's lap. He was facing difficulty in breathing.

"Vihaan" She cried "Oh mh God! Kya hua tumhe"
