"Mehek, please tell them that I am innocent", an eighteen year old Veer begged to her. Mehek was  baffled and more than that utterly scared. Her naïve mind was unable to decide which side to pick. She was aware of Veer's character but couldn't go against her sister either. She stood mum while her eyes darted from her parents, sister, Vicky and Sunaina Aunty. Her silence was easily misunderstood.

"Stop trying to pull a child into your mess. She is too young to realise your ill deeds", her father Yash roared while landing another slap on Veer. Nehal was weeping and Vicky held her close. "Yash Uncle, Nehal is telling the truth. I arrived on time else I don't know what he would have done to her", Vicky spoke vehemently. Meera, Mehek's mother was quick to act wisely, "Mehek, tell me the truth". Young Mehek was too scared to talk when entire focus of the crowd was on her.

Ten Years Later

Mehek was nervous but also excited. She took steady steps among the crowd to reach the man dressed in navy-blue suit. Once he was at arm's length, she kept her hand on his shoulder and voiced out his name, "Veer". Hope and anticipation brimmed in her voice. He turned and smiled at her, "I guess you have mistaken me for someone else, Beautiful", he took her hand and pecked it. 

Mehek was taken aback by his flirtatious response. She could never imagine Veer to be so callous and forthright. "Let me introduce her to you, Honey", Nehal snaked her hands around his arm, "She is my sister, Mehek", she then turned to Mehek, " And he is my date. Mr Shaurya Khanna". "Pleasure meeting you, Mehek", he addressed her but Mehek remained stunned and stared at him.
