Author's POV
Anubhav & Santosh were still in Lucknow planning to arrest Rani asap.
On the side of Chakorgao
Nobody had clue about what was happening in Lucknow!
A few days before Anubhav had messaged Mihir about the duo being okay but not about the case's progress.
Here Karishma developed a great bond with the little girl on her window.
The girl visited her early in morning giving her the bappa's prasaad.

" Ye chutki abhi tak kahe nhi aayi..." Karishma thought as the time had passed when the girl arrived daily.
" Thik toh hogi na wo..." Karishma's concern rose.
" Chalo karu...nashta taiyaar hai..." Mihir called Karishma.
" Ji patidev..." Karishma said closing the window and went out.
All were chit-chatting randomly when the door be rang.
" Dhyaan se kholna..." Haseena advised.
Shivani opened the door a little and peeped out finding no one.
Her eyes travelled down to see the same little girl standing there.
" Tum yaha kya kar rhi ho..." Shivani asked but the girl looked down.
" Bolegi bhi ya nhi..." Shivani again asked.
" Aandar aa tu pehle..." Shivani said holding her hand and got her in and closed the door.
" Ab bol ye muh kyu latka rakha hai..." Shivani asked while others looked at her confused.
" Ye yaha kya kar rhi hai...ye toh shivani je saamne aane se darti hai...phir aaj ghar tak kaise pohoch gyii..." Karishma thought.
" Unhone mujhe dikaal diya aasharam se..." The girl said.
" Matlab...wo aisa kyu karenge..." Shivani questioned.
" Pata nhi...lagta hai uss pintya ne kuch bol diya hoga unn ko..." The girl said.
" Tu ye tera saaman lekar kyu ghum rhi hai..." Shivani said as she had a bedsheet with clothes in it.
" Toh kya karu...mere paas rehne ke liye kaha jagah hai...raat toh maine asharam ke bahar kat di...par unhone subah mujhe phir hakaal diya..." The girl explains.
" Thik hai tu ye rakh yaha...yaha reh le...mai baat karti hu unse..." Shivani said.
" Mat lag unke muh abhi...mujhe nhi rehna waha...unlogo ko meri izzat hi nhi hai...isiliye mai nhi ja ungi waha..." The girl announced making everyone gasp at her talks.
" Meri vajah se unhe aachar milta tha...ab unhe wo bina namak wala khana khana padega...'' The girl said with attitude.
" Tu mere liye koi accha dusra asharam dhund de...mai waha chali jaungi..." The girl said.
" Kaun hai ye Shivani..." Pushpaji asked.
" Ye hai Mithi yhi chakorgao ke aashram mein rehti hai...acchi dosti hai humari..." Shivani said holding Mithi's chin and shaking her face with fun.
