Haveli ke bazaar wali zillat ke baad Meera ki rooh puri tarah se kuchli ja chuki thi, magar Vikram ka junoon ab ek aisi had par tha jahan insaniyat ka koi nam o nishaan nahi bacha tha. Usne taye kiya ke Meera ko ab auraton ki fehrist se nikaal kar jaanwaron ke darje par laya jaye.

Raat ka andhera haveli par chha gaya tha. Vikram ne Meera ko baalon se ghaseet-te huye pichle aangan mein bane us lohe ke bade pinjre ke paas laya, jahan uske do shikari kutte Sheru aur Kaalu band the. Ye kutte Vikram ki tarah hi khoonkhwar aur garam the.
