Anokhi:- no dad I am fine , don't worry

Aur please ab jldi se Ghar chlo mujhe bhaut zor se bhookh lagi Hui hai

They go home alone, while Shaurya is surrounded by all the media people.

Person 1:) sir How did all this happen? What is your opinion on this?

Reporter2:) Sir, who saved so many people? What was the environment like? How many people got hurt?

3): Sir why are you not speaking?

Shaurya:- If you all give me a chance to speak, I will speak.

Media: "How did this rescue operation happen? Who were these mysterious individuals?"

DM: [Pausing, looking here and there] "Ah, well... we had some... um... 'assets' on the ground who helped us resolve the situation."

Media: "Assets? Who are they? How did they get involved?"

DM: [Clearing throat] "Let's just say... Some people

[The media starts buzzing with speculation and questions, but the DM remains tight-lipped.]

Media: "But how did they manage to take down the terrorists so efficiently?"

DM: [Smiling wryly] "Let's just say... they had the right skills and training. We're just grateful the situation was resolved without further bloodshed."

[As the press conference continues, it becomes clear that the DM is hiding something. The mysterious individuals are nowhere to be found, and the city is left wondering who they were and how they managed to pull off such a daring rescue.]

[The scene ends with a shot of the DM looking nervous and uneasy, knowing that the truth about the mysterious rescuers may never be fully revealed.]

After that Shaurya goes to his house but as soon as he goes inside someone grabs his ears and starts pulling him.

After saying this he goes to his room and Samriddhi goes to keep the kitchen utensils.

Anokhi's room :-

As the night descended, Anokhi gazed up at the moon, its silvery light illuminating her contemplative expression. She reclined on her balcony, lost in thought, her mind wandering back to the fateful day when Shaurya, had bravely saved her from the clutches of terrorists.

In her reverie, she recalled the sound of gunfire, the scent of smoke, and the feeling of fear that had gripped her. But most vividly, she remembered Shaurya's steadfast grip, his strong arms encircling her, shielding her from harm. His calm and authoritative voice had reassured her, "You're safe. I've got you."

As she gazed at the moon, Anokhi's thoughts replayed the moment when Shaurya had pulled her to safety, his eyes locked on hers, filled with a deep concern and unwavering determination. She remembered the sensation of his hand holding hers, the warmth of his touch, and the sense of security he had provided.

The moon's gentle light seemed to transport her back to that moment, and Anokhi felt a surge of gratitude and admiration for Shaurya. She realized that even in the midst of chaos, he had been her rock, her protector, and her savior. As the night wore on, Anokhi's heart remained filled with the memory of Shaurya's bravery and selflessness, the moon's soft glow a poignant reminder of the debt she owed him.

And thinking this, she falls asleep there, while the other Shaurya is also thinking about Anokhi in his room.

Shaurya's room

Shaurya lay on his bed, his eyes fixed on the ceiling as his mind wandered back to that fateful day. He could still feel the weight of his gun in his hand, the sound of gunfire echoing in his ears, and the sight of the girl's terrified face etched in his memory. He remembered the way he had shielded her from harm, the way she had clung to him, and the way he had felt a sense of responsibility to keep her safe.

As he lay there, his thoughts replayed the moment he had pulled her to safety, the way she had looked up at him with tears in her eyes, and the way he had felt his heart race with a mix of adrenaline and concern. He remembered the softness of her hand in his, the way she had whispered "thank you" as he had held her close, and the way he had felt a deep connection to her in that moment.

Shaurya's gaze dropped to his hand, and he could almost feel the gentle touch of her fingers intertwined with his. He remembered the way she had looked at him, her eyes filled with gratitude and trust, and the way he had felt like he would do anything to protect her.

As the memories flooded his mind, Shaurya's chest felt heavy, his heart aching with a longing he couldn't explain. He didn't know her name, her face, or her story, but he knew he couldn't forget her. He knew he had to find her, to make sure she was safe, and to tell her how much she had impacted his life.

With a sigh, Shaurya sat up, his eyes scanning the darkness of his room as if searching for answers. He knew it was a long shot, but he had to try. He had to find the girl who had left an indelible mark on his heart. Little did he know, their story was far from over.

Shaurya thinks who was that girl and will we meet again?
