"And you, Shakti even you didn't tell me about this once, I got to know about this from an outsider." Anger was audible in his voice.

"Maafi Rana Hukum, but I have pledged blood loyalty to Hukum first. Just the way baba has pledged his blood loyalty to you. I hope you understand that I can't go against his orders." (Maafi= Apology) Shakti cleared his priority.

"I respect you Rana Sa but Why are you showing this sudden interest in my life, even many times you don't tell me those important secrets of yours, so it's better if you don't interfere in my work either, Rana Sa." Hukum's voice was emotionless. With that he got inside the car.

The anger in Rana Sa's eyes was now replaced by hurt, Shakti just gave an nod with soft eyes as if assuring his King and than he too got inside the car.

While the car zumed towards its destination, a lone tear escaped the eyes of a man who realised his defeat as a father.

"Ring, Ring"

"Partner." Rehmaat shrieked as soon as her Grandfather picked up the phone.

"Tell me partner, why did you do that?" Rehmaat asked almost whining.

"Sat shri akal to you too My partner." Dilsher singh Brar said in a sarcastic voice.

"Sarcasm, partner this is not time for your famous sarcasm. Just tell me why?" Rehmaat asked firmly this time.

"Why, why what partner?" Dilsher singh Brar gave the most innocent look.

"Why did you allowed me to stay here. You know I am an idiot right, sometimes I just do things without thinking about the consequences and at the time when I asked you to stay in Jaipur I didn't even thought about the grave consequences." Rehmaat Muttered almost in self guilt.

"But what consequences are there for your act according to you ?" Her partner asked her.

"I helped Basanti to runway from her marriage partner. Till now her family must have found out that I was the one who helped her."

"And even if I hate to admit this but her so called grandfather is a really influencial man in Jaipur. If he wants he can do anything with me as this is his city." She concluded with a sad look in her eyes.

"Te apne ghar vich taan kutta v sher hunde" (Even a dog is a lion in his house) Her grandfather completed her unsaid words.

"That's what I wanted you to realise on your own. Rehmaat I have even dealt with real terorist rebels, I know how a Rebel's mind works. For a Rebel, self realisation is the most important thing." He told her calmly.

"If I would have stopped you or tried to tell you the exact same thing, You my dearest would have rebeled and the first thing you would have done was switching off your phone, that way I would have lost the contact with you." He further explained.

"But now after I have let you do what you want to, you have got the greatest realisation that is self realisation and this way even I didn't lost the contact with you and you understood the things on your own." After listening to him Rehmaat asked.

"But partner what if that idiot samba and his men would have reached me first. Than this self realisation would have been a greater trouble?" She questioned. (Rehmaat refers Ruhanika's grandfather as samba , a villian from Bollywood cult classic sholay)

"I have already arranged the solution for that situation, one of my students from army days is going to protect you while staying in the shadows, he was trained for special missions, so handling the Goenka's is not a big deal for him, as the true power of Goenka's was our Shekhar." He assured his granddaughter.
