Rishab went to the terrace and started drinking.
Rishab:Why i feel so much of pain?
Pratha who came there saw Rishab drinking with a shock.
Pratha:What happened to Rishabji suddenly?
Pratha ran to the room and cried.
Rishab took a photograph from his purse and looked at it.
Rishab:I miss you.If you were here with me,I would have got an emotional support and I would not have gone weak.
Suddenly he heard a voice.
“I am here Rishab”.
Rishab turned back.He was surprised to see that person.
It was Rishab’s look alike.
Rishab called him emotionally:Virat!
They hugged each other.
Rishab:I missed you.
Virat:I also missed you.
Rishab:I am depressed.Seeing you,I got relief.
Virat:Why are you upset even after marrying the woman you love?I came to know about your wedding from your sister in law Thapki.
Rishab was surprised
Rishab:You know Thapki?
Virat:Yes.She is my friend.She works with me.
Rishab was surprised.
Rishab:I am depressed because….
Rishab told him why he married Pratha.
Virat was shocked.
Virat:You are depressed because you are guilty.Because you did a sin by cheating an innocent woman.You feel guilty of betraying Pratha because you have started loving her.
Rishab remembered getting attracted to Pratha and trying to kiss her.He shed tears.
Virat:Please back out from what you are doing.
Rishab:No,I can’t. I have to protect my family.
Virat:Rishab.. trust me.You can’t save your family by cheating and breaking the heart of the woman who loves you blindly.
Rishab felt upset.
Virat:And I really feel that our so called family is lying.They lied to you to achieve their goal which is purely evil.
Rishab was stunned.
Rishab:Virat,still you are suspecting them?
Virat:I am not suspecting them…I am 100 percent sure about them.Because I have experienced it.
Rishab:Virat,you are misunderstanding them.
Virat:No Rishab.They are greedy people who do black magic to gain success.Dadi is an evil woman who does black magic to get naagmani.She wants Naagmani for herself to be eternal and rule this world.But you trust them kindly.To safeguard the reputation of the family,it was necessary for them to shut my mouth.So our so called father..our step dad portrayed me as a drug addict and put me in the jail.If you had not saved me,I would have been in the jail itself.Since my name got ruined,I stole your name and identity to open my own business.Even my own staffs think that I am Rishab Gujral.I even introduced myself as Rishab Gujral to Thapki.All because of Lalit Gujral and family.
Rishab:Virat..I am sure that dad was not the one who was behind your scandal and arrest.Even though he is our step dad,he loves us.
Virat:Nobody loves us.All are using us.One day you will understand the truth.But make sure that you don’t become late.And cheating the woman who loves us is a sin.I also a love a Naagin.I fell in love with Thapki at first sight itself.Since I do research on Naagins seeing her eyes itself I understood that she is a Naagin.But my love for her did not stop there.Because my love is true.
Rishab was shocked.
Virat:Anyways,I am with you my brother.Now I have to go.See you!
They had a hug and Virat left.
Rishab was in a dilemma.
The next morning…
Pratha went near Rishab.
Pratha:Rishabji,yesterday night you behaved strangely.Are you still the same?I hope not.
Rishab:My mood is still the same Pratha.I hope everything gets cleared and I will become normal.
Pratha got confused.
Pratha:I am your wife Rishabji.You can share it with me.Maybe I can help you out.
Rishab thought:How can I tell you the truth Pratha?
Rishab:No Pratha.Let it be in my mind itself.
Pratha:Why?You don’t trust me?
Rishab replied in his mind:I trust you.But I am not trustworthy.
Rishab:It’s not like that Pratha.I just need some time and space for myself.
Pratha:Ok.
Rishab walked away.
Pratha:What is disturbing Rishabji all of a sudden?
Virat and Thapki were on the way to a meeting.Thapki got Pratha’s phone call.
Pratha:Thapki,have you started from their for the reception party?
Thapki:I am go…go…going for a mee…mee…meeting.Rishab ji..ji…jiju is with me.
We both will reach there af…af…ter the mee…mee…meeting.
Pratha:Ok.
Virat was observing Thapki.
Virat thought:Oh no…Thapki thinks that I am Rishab.So she will be thinking why a newly wed Rishab is attending the meeting when his reception party is near.Thapki will be doubtful if Pratha tells her that Rishab was with her when I was with her at the meeting.How will I manage the situation?Anyways I will have to inform this to Rishab.
While Thapki was speaking to Pratha,Virat messaged Rishab about this.
Thapki stopped talking to Pratha as Pratha went to get ready for the party.
Virat got a phone call.He was relieved.
He told Thapki:Our meeting got cancelled.It’s postponed to Tuesday by them.
Thapki:Oh!So now you can reach your party on time.
Virat:Thapki,I will drop you to your house.You can get ready to attend the party.I have to go to the men’s parlour before the party.
Thapki was amused.
Thapki:You go to the parlour?
Virat:Not really.But before the party I have to go,otherwise I will be nothing before beautiful girls like you and your sister.
Thapki and he giggled.
Virat thought:Today I escaped.But I have to tell the truth to Thapki soon.Otherwise she will consider me as her brother in law and I can’t bear it.Because I love her.
Party….
Rishab and Pratha were dancing romantically.Pratha was upset thinking of Rishab’s cold behaviour.

Rishab slept on the couch shocking Pratha.
Pratha remembered their romantic moments.
She became upset.
She thought:Why suddenly Rishabji is avoiding me?
Pratha too stopped avoiding Rishab.Rishab could not bear it.
Rishab went to the kitchen in search of Pratha.
Rishab:What are you doing here Pratha?
Pratha did not even look at Rishab.
Pratha:Can’t you see what I am doing?I am cooking.
Rishab:Fine.But why are you avoiding me?I really feel angry.
Pratha:Why are you feeling angry when I avoid you?You are also avoiding me.Right?
Rishab became silent.
Rishab:I did not avoid you purposefully Pratha.I have some business tensions.That’s why.
Pratha looked at Rishab in disbelief.
Pratha:Is it?
Rishab:Yes.Sorry for avoiding you.I could see only business problems before me.Only if I sort out the problems I can be peaceful.
Pratha was relieved as Rishab was not avoiding her purposefully.
Pratha:Don’t worry Rishabji.Everything will be fine.I will pray to Bolenath.
Rishab thought:I wish everything gets fine.But….
Rishab:Pratha,I want to tell you something.You know Thapki…
Pratha:Thapki is working with you.Right?She had told me.
Rishab:No.She is working with my twin brother Virat.
Pratha was surprised.
Pratha:You have a twin brother who looks like you?
Rishab:Yes.But he is living with my identity now as his identity got ruined.Because somebody trapped him in a drug case.So our own family disowned him as they also misunderstood him.Since the society tagged him as a criminal, I gave my identity to him.So Thapki thinks that Virat is me.
Pratha was shocked.
Pratha:I really feel sad for Virat.Hope his innocence gets proved and our family accepts him back.
Rishab:Please don’t tell this to Thapki now.Virat himself wants to tell the truth to Thapki.Because he loves Thapki.
Pratha was surprised.
Pratha:What?Virat loves Thapki.
Rishab:Yes.
Pratha:I am so happy that finally someone loves my sister with her defect.
He smiled.
Pratha was looking at a photo frame.
Rishab:Who is this Pratha?
Pratha:This is my grand mother Shivanya.She is my mother’s mother.My mother Shivangi also looks like her.
Rishab thought:So this is the evil Naagin because of which our family is suffering.
Pratha:My mom used to say that Shivanya Nani and Ritik Nana were an ideal couple.They used to give couple goals.They both had golden hearts.They loved everyone and helped others risking their lives.They both tried to save their clan from an evil family who did black magic.But they got killed by that evil family.
Pratha was becoming emotional while revealing her grand parents’ sad story.Seema was watching them with a shock.
Rishab was shocked.
Seema thought:Will Rishab come to know the truth through Pratha?Then what will happen?
He thought:But the story which Dadi told was completely different.Is Virat right about dadi?Is Dadi lying about Pratha’s Nani?If Virat is right,then is the evil family who killed Pratha’s grand parents my own family?
