Raka's men had cleverly outwitted Anay's men and successfully escaped with Advika.
Anay was roaming the streets like a madman, searching every alley and corner for her. His men were also spread across the entire city of Banaras.
Meanwhile, Rudraksh's parents had arrived in Banaras. By now, they had come to know that their son had been falsely accused of murder.
Raka, too, had reached Banaras in his private helicopter. He was now present at the hideout where Advika was being held captive. She was tied to a chair, still unconscious. In front of the room, the village chief (Sarpanch) and Raka sat waiting for her to regain consciousness.
At the same time, Anay had also received word of the location. He was heading there at full speed.
After a while, Advika began to regain consciousness. Her eyelids fluttered, and when she finally opened her eyes, she found herself in a dark, locked room. Two men were playing cards nearby. As soon as she recognized one of them — the Sarpanch — her jaw clenched.
"Look... she's awake," the Sarpanch sneered as his eyes fell on her.
He turned quickly and leaned close to her.
"How does defeat taste, girl? Lost again, didn't you? Last time Anay came and ruined everything. But this time... you won't survive. Now you'll understand the consequences of challenging a Thakur."
Advika gritted her teeth in fury.
"Aren't you ashamed to call yourself a Thakur? You attack from behind... bind a defenseless woman and call yourself a man? Disgusting excuse for masculinity!"
The Sarpanch grabbed her hair and shouted,
"Raka! Show her her place! Break her so badly she begs for death!"
Raka laughed wickedly and approached her.
"Got a lot of fire in you, huh? Let's see how long it lasts…"
He leaned in toward her — but in a sudden move, Advika kicked him hard in the stomach. He groaned and fell back in pain.
"You b—!" Raka roared, then ran toward her and slapped her hard several times across the face. Advika's head slumped to one side.
"Now I'll make sure you die a miserable death…" he growled, pinning her legs with his own and tearing part of her kurti, trying to bite her neck.
Advika cried in pain, her eyes clenched. Then, mustering all her strength, she broke free from the ropes and stood up with a jolt. Her body bore bruises and wounds, but she shoved Raka away once again.
Raising her hands in a defensive stance, she declared:
"You made the biggest mistake of your life thinking I'm weak, Sarpanch… You've invited your own death!"
At that very moment, Anay arrived at the hideout. He had concealed his identity. But the sight before him froze him in his tracks.
Raka got up, sneering:
"Oh? So the bird knows how to fight? Come on then!"
Advika took a few steps back, then leapt forward and delivered a powerful kick to Raka's neck. He crashed to the floor.
The Sarpanch stared wide-eyed at her.Anay watched in stunned silence — it was the first time he had seen this fierce version of Advika.
Wiping the blood from her lips, she said,
"What happened? That's all you've got? Come on, hit me!"
Raka, now groaning, pulled out a knife from his pocket.
Advika smirked and said,
"Cowards, all of you…"
As soon as Raka lunged at her with the knife, Advika grabbed his wrist and twisted it hard. The knife dropped to the ground with a loud clang.Anay's eyes widened — in that moment, he saw the embodiment of Goddess Kali in Advika.
Raka screamed in rage and threw a punch, but Advika ducked swiftly and smashed her knee into his nose. Blood gushed out like a fountain, and he collapsed in agony.
The terrified Sarpanch grabbed a heavy iron rod and struck her from behind. Caught off guard, Advika fell to the ground, blood trickling from her head.
That was the moment Anay lost control.He stormed inside, snatched the rod from the Sarpanch's hands — and without hesitation, began striking him repeatedly.
"Thud! Thud! Thud!"
With every blow, the fire within Anay burned brighter.The Sarpanch screamed and tried to protect himself but was overpowered. Anay hit him so badly, every inch of the Sarpanch's body screamed in agony.
Now Anay turned to Raka. Rage consumed him as he pounced like a wild beast.
"Thud… thud… thud…!"
He broke Raka's arms, his legs — the sound of snapping bones echoed in the room.Raka screamed in pain, but Anay didn't stop until he lay motionless, blood-soaked on the floor.
Meanwhile, Advika began to regain consciousness. Groaning, she opened her eyes slightly. Through blurred vision, she saw a man ruthlessly beating Raka.
When Anay turned back, his eyes locked with hers. He rushed to her, pulled out his handkerchief, and pressed it to her bleeding head. Then he took off his jacket and gently placed it over her shoulders.
The disguise he had worn to hide his identity was now more useful than ever.
Advika, with barely open lips, whispered softly,
"Thakur saheb..."
Anay froze. His breath caught in his throat. His hands stopped mid-air.The next moment, Advika lost consciousness again and slumped into his arms.
Anay stood still… as if time itself had stopped.In that desolate room, only his heavy breaths and thudding heartbeat echoed.
In that one moment, it felt as if the entire universe had conspired to bring them to this point.As if love had taken form… and now lay in his arms. His world — Advika.
In that moment, Anay felt as if his love, his life, his entire existence had finally found meaning.The woman he had held in his heart, in his breath, for years — was now in his embrace.
Gently, he lifted her in his arms.Cradling her carefully, he walked out.Reaching the car, he sat her down with tenderness… and drove swiftly toward the hospital.
