Library wali raat ke baad Aryan ne khud ko poori tarah badal liya tha. Wo Zoya se katrane laga tha. Farmhouse mein hote hue bhi wo usey aisa mehsoos kara raha tha jaise wo wahan hai hi nahi. Wo subah jaldi nikal jata aur der raat wapas aata, kabhi kabhi to uske kapdon se mitti aur thakaan ki boo aati thi.

Zoya ko ye khamoshi aur doori library ke us dard se bhi zyada chubne lagi thi. Use ehsaas hua ki wo Aryan ki nafrat se lad sakti thi, magar uski berukhi usey andar hi andar tod rahi thi.
