Ayani arrives in Kongthong and observes the entire family; she realises that, despite the fact that their sister-in-law fled, no one in that house is impacted; they don't care.
She watches Dinesh leaving the house for work, and she needs some information to carry out her plan.
She asks the same tree she talked to before.
"Hello, do you remember me?"
The tree answers affirmatively by shaking its top branches.
"Do British officials patrol at night?" Ayani questions.
The tree implies yes.
"At what time?"
The tree sheds nine leaves.
"9 at night?" Ayani confirms
The tree says yes.
Now she knows that officers patrol at 9p.m. She needed to do something around 9 so that the British official might catch him in the act. When she followed Dinesh, she discovered he worked at a flower farm. She has to find out what time he leaves work and manage time so that the event occurs at 9 p.m. But how should she know what time he leaves his workplace? She arrives at his workplace; she enters it and discovers a middle-aged guy.
"Hi, do you need something?" he asks.
"Yes, may I see the owner?" Ayani speaks.
"Why?"
"I have some work-related talk to have with him."
"I am the owner. Tell me." The middle-aged guy is the owner.
"I'd like to place an order; I'm from Mawphlang. I'm here to meet someone close, and I heard about your farm, so I decided to stop by and place an order…. Can I see your flowers?"
She gets to see some of the flowers. "They are mesmerising. I would like to proceed with my order."
He takes her inside, makes her sit, and offers her a glass of water as she glances around.
"You're here to make a wholesale deal? For which flower do you want to make a deal?"
The owner inquires.
"At what price do you sell your flowers?"
"Different flowers have different prices."
"That's good; I can see you're good at your work. So, what time will you close this farm? What time do you send your workers home?"
"It depends on the work, but around 5."
It's now 4:30 p.m.; she has to make Dinesh wait at his work so he can depart around 9 p.m. and she can do the task on time.
"You see, I'm from Mawphlang. I am only in Kongthong for the day. Can you provide three cartons of any five flowers you grow?"
He considers it for a while and says, "Yes."
"I want to place the order right now. However, I need it today before 8:30 p.m. I'll pay you double what you sell your flowers for."
"That's impossible. Are you here to joke?" The owner replies.
"I am not joking; I noticed you growing the orchid. What price do you sell them at? Tell me."
"2 pies for a bunch; a bunch consists of 4 stems."
"Okay, I will pay you 4 for every bunch."
She opens her bag, pulls out the money, counts it, and smashes five pies onto the table.
"Count it."
He takes the money, counts it, and believes her.
"These are 5 pies that I am giving you in advance; I will pay double the amount for each bunch. I need three cartons of orchids and any four more flowers you can arrange today; give me three cartons for each bloom."
"There is a lot of work, like, see, we have to cut it and…." The owner seems confused.
"Please, I need those flowers today," she says, opening her purse again and counting the money before handing him 12 more pies, "I'll wait; just make this work."
He agrees, walks outside, informs all of the workers, Dinesh is one of his employees, that he must also work and complete his work by 8:30 p.m.
Dinesh has spotted her waiting for an order at the farm and wonders, who is that attractive woman?
It is already 8:30, the owner of the flower farm has prepared all of the flowers, and Dinesh is set to leave his job.
Ayani waits for him to leave his workplace; as soon as he leaves, she walks in front of him in a quiet, dark area.
"Hello, can you…. help me?"
He recognises her as the same lady who requested flowers from the farm. He is slightly fascinated by her attractiveness, but not overly so.
"What help…do you need?"
"I actually lost my way...I came here to meet someone. Can you...?" Quite voluntarily, she drops her belongings down.
She leans down to pick it up, revealing her cleavage.
Dinesh is all for it. Dinesh is a lustful person.
"I am looking for someone.…. Do you have some water?" Ayani coughs.
"Yes yes I do…"
He hands her the bottle, but she willingly pours a lot of water over her clothes. Making her clothes stick to her body, revealing her curves. "I am so sor…"
"Its okay," and he smiles at her in a lusty way…
"Let's get out of here I will help you…" He speaks.
He leads her to a darker spot; he stops and looks upside down at Ayani.
"What?" Ayani is now nervous.
He instantly places his belongings on the ground and grabs Ayani.
"Leave me.....leave me." Ayani screams.
"Let me take off your wet clothes, wearing wet clothes must be making you cold, let me give you some heat."
He is bringing his face close to Ayani's.
Ayani is now feeling terrible.
Ayani looks at her wristwatch; it's 9:07, but where are the British officials?
Ayani hits him hard. He smacks her back, causing her tumble to the ground.
He grabs her on the ground, and Ayani uses all means to fight him while waiting for British officers to see them. She can't use her power on a human…not at all when she triggered the situation. She hits him again. He grips her throat; she coughs, He is making it difficult for her to breathe.
He attempts to touch her stomach, but she pulls him away. She shouts at him, "bastard," and begins running because she can't see Britishers approaching, and she can't wait any longer.
He snatches her hair from behind and smashes her head on a tree, causing her forehead to bleed.
"Hey, what happening there?" Both of their faces were lit up by the British soldiers' torches. Finally, officers arrives.
Before shouting they already noticed Dinesh hitting her head against the tree.
As soon as Dinesh spots the patrollers, he bolts.
They rush in. "Are you okay?" they ask Ayani. The police officers run after Dinesh.
Another cop approached and said, "Take her, her head is bleeding, she needs medical attention, take her to the doctor."
.
They are in the hospital, and the doctor is dressing her wound.
At the hospital, she steps away to make a call. "Hello Blake, I am at Kongthong, You need to come here to the police station right now."
The cops apprehend Dinesh.
"I was in Kongthong to meet someone and to buy some flowers, but I was unable to find the person I was here to meet. I asked him to help me out and he said he will, he told me to come with him, but after few minutes of walking he stopped and tried to rape me and when I resisted..... out of anger he attacked me." Ayani explained the whole situation.
"Take him to the cell." Officer 1
"Sign here, and we will file a case." Officer 2 says to Ayani.
His parents come to the station, and they are shocked to see the same girl from Mawphlang. "What did you do to my son?"
"Your son?"
"Yes, he is my son."
"Uhmm…what a coincidence." Ayani smirks.
"What's all this?" The second officer asks as his mother was making a scene.
"Officer, there is a widow named Pushpa. It's her mother-in-law. She ran away from her home because they abused her. I gave shelter to her till the day she came to take her with her. I came here to meet her since I was curious about her health. But I didn't know this man."
"Hi Ayani, I am here." The man Ayani called has arrived. Blake is a British young man who is sent from his home country to Assam, as a high-ranking officer to work in India. "She is my fiancé." he continues to speak.
The police explain the entire incident to Blake. Because he is an Englishman with a favourable reputation and claimed to be Ayani's fiancé, the officer believes what she said.
Ayani and Blake exit the station after completing all of the paperwork.
"What's going on with you? Why are you here alone? Are you OK?" Blake is clearly worried.
"Thank you for assisting me today; I must leave now. Also, I am not your fiancé; quit pretending. I told you I don't see my future with you." Ayani states.
"I loved you; I still do." Blake expresses what he feels.
"Thank you, Blake. But telling me you love me doesn't change anything."
.
"She is not a mere Aokma; she is someone unique. We need to find her." In Pataallok, the lady who was behind Ahmaya's kidnapping is informing her king about everything that occurred.
It's a dark cave with smoke everywhere and a musty odour; the king is seated over a sealing, and the woman is bowing down in front of him.
"You claimed you are the most powerful among them." The king speaks.
"Yes, I am, but ...but she is not a regular Aokma, I can also defeat her but first we need to find her... your highness."
"I don't want you to waste our energy on an Aokma that's not even important and doesn't have any position." The king answers.
"Defeat God's major players. Defeat the major Aokmas, and we shall have the position and comfort." He continues.
"What's that Aokma's name…?" he wonders...." yes…. I remember… Ayani, kill her and her family, she has been a nuisance, I don't think so she will give up her power unless she is dead. I order you Gyanwati to bring her dead body to me in two days. Convince me that you are still the most powerful among them."
"Yes, your highness."
Gyanwati, the woman who had everything and lost it all because she abused her power and failed to perform her duties properly, Instead of repenting for her faults, she joined forces with the wicked. Yes, she hates Ayani, which is why she threatened to sever her leg the last time. She needs the power from her, but Ayani strongly denies transferring it. She could have killed her when she had the chance, but she never did. Because murdering her might hurt someone she was close to in the past, someone she loved, and possibly still does, that's why her heart stops her every time she is going to kill her.
.
On the same day at Nako, Ayani's father wakes up in the bright morning and packs some food for Ahmaya before heading to his lake. As he jumps in, he notices a woman standing inside the water; it appears that she was already waiting for him.
"Hi, it has been a long time." Gyanwati speaks with a grin.
