It was six months before Arpita's death. The elders of the Sindhiya knew Aarti and her tragic past. It was Suraj Pratap Sindhiya, Yash's father, who helped her acquire divorce. Aarti visited Sindhiya house at least once a month.

It was always the tea time topic in the Sindhiya House. The members of the family bitching and moaning about how they wanted to dismember Prasanth. Pratik, once even suggested that they murder Prasanth and set it into an accident.

But it always stayed as emotion filled talks as Aarti refused to leave the sorry excuse of a man. Arpita tried to persuade her into leaving him many times. But Aarti always refused.

So they had to keep silent and pray to God to put some sense into Aarti's mind. And they were forced to watch her become weak and lose her light.

Everything changed that day.

It was just over eleven in to the night and most of the Sindhiya family were retired to their room's. The calling bell rang through the still house. And just like that every adult in the house woke up.

Pratik was the one to open the door. As he stepped aside, there was a series of gasps from the occupants of the foyer. There stood Aarti, barely conscious. There was a cut on her forehead, which had bled making half of her face look reddish. Her throat was covered in bruises as if someone tried to choke her. Her bleeding hand was holding on to her pregnant belly.

And she fainted.

Pratik got a hold of her before she hit the ground. Arpita was beside her in a moment. The next several minutes were hectic. Pratik, Yash and Arpita rushed Aarti to the hospital. The doctors said that the chances of Aarti and the child surviving this was slim to none.

Surya Pratap Sindhiya used his name and money to bring in specialists from all over India. To him and his wife, she was the girl child they never had.

It took weeks, but she woke up. When she was ready, she relayed what happened that day. That good for nothing bastard tried to kill her by strangling her. But Aarti managed to escape him and reached Sindhiya Mansion.

Arpita's parents offered to take Aarti and her new born, Ansh in, when she was discharged from the hospital.

Three months later, Arpita died in an accident.

Six months later, Arpita's parents and Yash's parents pushed them to get married.

And now three years later, he fell for her.

And he prayed that he never lose her like he did Arpita.
