Ayushree was talking to someone when she felt Miksha's hand slipping from her grasp, her breath catching in her throat. With a quick glance downward, her worst fears were confirmed as she saw Miksha's body starting to fall. Reacting swiftly, she caught her daughter just in time, her hands trembling with fear and desperation.

"Baby!! Open your eyes!!" Ayushree's voice quivered with urgency as she tapped Miksha's cheeks, trying to rouse her from unconsciousness. Her eyes then fell upon the bloodstain marring Miksha's frock, she forwarded her hand and slowly touched the blood stains.
